general problems of the 2006 Toyota Tundra - part 2

Driving home at the end of our vacation, my wife and I were in seperate vehicles, she in front of me on I-80 going west bound. We'd just gotten off the george washington bridge and as traffic was building and slowing, she braked ahead of me and when I pressed my brake it went to the floor. I couldn't stop in time before rear ending the car my wife was driving. It was a low speed impact, maybe 25 mph. No police report and we just kept driving after checking that all was ok. I took the truck to the shop to have the brakes repaired and the mechanic called me to say the brake lines and everything associated needed to be replaced. He stated he cannot do the work due to the fact the truck is rusted beyond repair and he felt unsafe to work underneath the truck for fear of it falling on him. I found there was a recall on the truck for rusted frame issues and the window to respond was missed due to personal reasons involving care of a since deceased mother. I tried to talk to Toyota but the short answer is I was too late even though the rusted frame is only worsening with time due to from what I understand is a manufacturing flaw with the method these trucks were produced.

First complaint was in motion came to a signal light started applying brakes to stop came to stop briefly as I was pushing brake pedal could feel grinding like under pedal and truck began to move forward while holding brake then continued to pump brake several times to try and stop it because it was moving me and my children into moving traffic intersection. . This issue has happened on a few occastions second complaint. Driver front lower balljoint grinding, popping scrubbing sound when wheel is turned any little bit while driving or stopped and popping metal sound even when anyone gets in or out of the vehicle. Also since I purchased the truck in 2013 the u-joint has been replaced 3 times due to shaking taken off and slowing down when taken part off metal shavens would pour out from the part in small pile.

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra with no body rust but the frame is rotting out from underneath the truck. This is a serious safety hazard or could have even killed someone and Toyota did not even notify me of the issue. When I did find out about this and contacted Toyota they said this is not an issue and there is no problem.

Anti corrosion paint was put on the frame a year and half later and my truck will not pass inspection and Toyota will do nothing they want me to believe that the frame rusted out in a year and a half and was fine when they put the coating on.

I was not notified that there was a recall for the frame rusting. My frame is rusted out and now I’m told that the recall has expired. This is unacceptable and poses a threat to the lives of me, my family and all Toyota drivers everywhere.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v285000 (air bags) in June of 2015 and 07v013000 (suspension) in January of 2007. After contacting the dealer and the manufacturer on multiple occasions, the contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available and no estimated time for receiving the parts could be provided. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I noticed pieces of rust falling under the front of my truck. When I looked at the frame where the motor sets and the front suspension parts I noticed severe rusting. The front brake lines appear affected also. Some bolts are rusted through and others appear to be close to rusting through.

I own a 2006 dbl cab Tundra in WI. Back in 2013 I was driving one and and someone was honking at me from behind. So I pulled over. They told me my gas tank was about to fall off. Sure thing I went under it and the gas tank strap was rust and only 1 of them was holding it up. I didnt some research and notice there was a recall on the frame rust. So I took it in for a inspection. The dealer told my that it didnt qualify for a replacement but they they can do a undebody coat and they replaced the tank strap too. So 1 yrs flew by and now my passenger side rear lower strut bracket broke off. It was just hanging there. This truck is falling apart. A few monther later while driving down the road. I was going about 35 mph and ther boom! I heard something loud. I ther braking but no brakes! I almost good hit twice running a red light. Scraiest day of my life. I almost doe that day. I finally rolled to a stop. I check the back and sure enough the driver side top strut bracket broke off taking out the brake distributor in the rear and also cutiing through some eletrical wires. This truck is a lemon! Toyota need to buy this truck back!.

Takata recall my Toyota Tundra is a 2006 limited fully loaded beautiful truck. . . . Until you look under neath it! the frame has rust holes, the struts rusted off the frame, the break lines are rusted out, my break drums are rusted out, leaf spring are rusted out, the exhaust system rusted off and the best part about all of this is that the truck was taken to Toyota for the recall and sprayed instead of replaced! the dealer took sponges and put them into the frame and painted over the frame!! a Toyota dealer!!!! and now that the frame is falling apart Toyota is saying it's not their problem the recall is over. Even thought the frame wasn't replaced when it was needing to be replaced! my household owns 7 Toyota a and Lexus vehicles, you can bet your money we will never buy a Toyota or Lexus again. Thanks Toyota for neglecting your responsibilities!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at any speed an abnormal noise coming from the right rear axle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that to much play is in the axle that is moving in and out causing the failure. Vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 190,500. Aw.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v285000 (air bags) and 07v013000 (suspension); however, the parts needed to repair the vehicle were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Had the truck in for recall for under coating frame about one year I looked to find rust on the frame by the rear spring. Called Toyota, then called dealer,was told some one would return my call. Have hear nothing from Toyota or dealer. The frame is flaking do to improper cleaning.

Noticed that 1 of my rear leaf spring "leafs" had broken in half - totally. Called dealer told out of warranty. Truck was 4-5 yr. S old w/low milage. By shear luck I noticed it. Had I not noticed it I believe it could have caused a major problem possibly with gas tank or perhaps tire.

The frame and suspension components have an abundance of rust on them. Flakes of metal are dropping/pealing off and the rust has spread to all parts of the frame and is prevalent around welds on the suspension parts. This concerns me due to the welds being the main component that bonds together the suspension pieces. The frame is showing an unusual amount of rust for such a young vehicle and poses a safety risk to me.

The front struts rusted and snapped, on both my 2002 Tundra and my 2006 Tundra, in the same place on all 4 struts, where the tube mounts to the bottom bolt flange. In both cases, there was not any excessive or off road driving, just normal highway and city driving. The last time, I was driving over a railroad crossing.

Frame is rusting nearly on half, at front suspension.
