general problems of the 2010 Toyota Tundra

I was informed by carfax that my truck window switches may contain the wrong type of lubricant in the switches or mechanism.

Pwms assembly recall. Dealer required inspection first then ordered parts and would take several days to obtain. Had to make another appointment to have work performed. This requires two days to take off for service to be performed. Dealer is Toyota of johnson city (TN).

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be serviced under NHTSA campaign number: 15v689000 (visibility). The technician informed the contact the recall was not able to be service due to the power window control module needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 98,214.

Floor vents for the hvac just stopped working. Noticed that there was no heat going to the front floor vents. Tried all the other vent settings and they all work fine as well as the auto setting, not a good thing to be doing while driving in traffic and winter road conditions. The dealer looked at the problem and repairs start at 500. 00 # 87106d just for the actuators to be replaced. It could also be the whole hvac unit # 87050, 2100. 00. Called Toyota and they said the vehicle was out of warranty and will not respond to the issue. Case # 1511280769 if the window defrost vents fail it would be dangerous to drive in cold temps.

There is an electrical problem that the right light bulb keeps going on and off unexpectedly. In addition, the bottom of the car has lots of rust, the tire pressure sensor is not working properly.

Vehicle was traveling in freeway and all of a sudden the a/t oil temp light came on and the vehicle stop right away. Engine and everything stop working. I think this is serious and too dangerous. Hope someone will investigate the issue.

Turn off vehicle after normal driving went to start after parked for 15 minutes would not start 4lo and slip light on sat 20 minutes finally started happened at least 10 times dealer found no problems with vehicle driving 45 mph same lights came on truck would not go over 35mph turned off vehicle and it reset it self.

Sticky master passenger power window switch / smell of burning plastic. Upon inspection passenger master power switch had melted.

Electric lock actuators failed sporadically and intermittently.

I have a unattended acceleration problem it has now happened 4 times 3 time after the recall the latest time was today.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the doors would not unlock when the key fob was pressed nor via the electronic switch on the driver's side. The contact had to manually unlock the doors to access the vehicle. The failure occurred without warning. Arlington Toyota (10939 atlantic blvd, jacksonville, FL 32225, (904) 302-9611) informed the contact to schedule an appointment for diagnostic testing. The dealer speculated that the door actuators may need to be replaced. The dealer also indicated that there were no recall campaigns regarding the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Hi, I'm not sure how to address this but I think someone should know. This complaint is somewhat on behalf of a chp officer and family that died and the many others out there like myself, friends and family that have Toyotas. I test cars for the California smog check program. I have tested thousands of vehicles both by driving them on a sensitive dynamometer at various speeds and in place at different motor rpms. When Toyota changed to an electronic throttle control on their vehicles it became very noticeable during the smog tests as the vehicle acceleration and control was more sloppy than the previous direct cable method. I worried about this because with no direct linkage and only sensors to interpret your intended acceleration, it could lead to tragic results without proper fail-safes installed. One necessary fail-safe is when you press on the brakes the engine needs to slow to prevent potentially overriding the brakes or create excessive stopping distances. This would prevent many accidents. It is well known in the automotive repair industry that voltage problems, electrical ground problems, or a malfunctioning main computer or poorly written code, will cause other sensors to behave erratically even if the specific affected sensor is not damaged. Vehicle sensors have problems now and then along with corrupted information being sent to those sensors resulting in unintended results. The sensors / linkage involved in Toyota's electronic throttle control are not immune to these problems as Toyota suggests. A mandatory fail-safe needs to be adopted on Toyotas to override a potentially faulty electronic throttle. Acceleration complaints have risen sharply since the new throttle system was installed. The difficulty with testing a sensor system is that often it can appear to be functioning fine until the moment it misbehaves or it can act normal while good information is received and then with corrupted information it behaves apart from driver's intentions.
