Failure Date: 12/12/2022

On 11/25/22 I meet with american auto mall to buy a used truck I was assured through text, website and window sticker that the truck was in excellent condition inside and out. . I have all this documents proofing this. . I did van limited inspection at the lot and a test drive. . Found nothing that stuck out. . Other than the radio not working but the dealership said he would reimburse me if I got it fixed. . So after that a down payment was made of $5550 dollars and paperwork was signed. . I drove the truck home and the next week I got in it and it wouldn't start, turns out it needed a battery and alternator, so I took it to a shop and was told that this vehicle was badly rusted and had a lot of hidden rust damage. . And improperly installed brakes. , coolant leaks and exhaust leaks. . After finding this out I tried to call the dealership and he hasn't been replying. . I was also told this truck wouldn't pass a legal va inspection. . So the current one was fraudulent I have all documents that support my case.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2015

My vehicle first had its wiring harness destroyed by a rodent of some sort a couple of weeks ago. After sending it to the repair shop and $7000 dollars later, I brought my truck home and everything worked fine. I tried many remedies to discourage the rodents from returning but nothing seems to deter them from the soy based insulation on my trucks wiring harness. I now have to send my truck back for repairs to the same wiring harness ($7000) as before, and also another wiring harness which will probably cost close to the same. How can Toyota get away with making insulation out of rodent food when these wires operate the abs braking system? this practice not only puts a financial burden on the owner but also compromises their safety.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2012

I have a 2011 Tundra sr5 with a loud clicking noise that has been coming from the steering column near the shift lever. While in park, the brake pedal must be pressed in order to shift the truck into gear. When I press the brake pedal, a loud click can be heard from the column shifter. This is the column shift lockout solenoid and is normal. However, recently I can hear the solenoid clicking anytime I depress the brake pedal while I'm in gear. Sometimes it is a click, two clicks and sometimes it is series of rapid clicks. I have taken the truck to the dealer twice. The first time I was told the clicking was normal while in park and that they could not duplicate it while in gear. The second time I took it to the dealer, they "blew out the excess grease" from the shift lock. Their best explanation is that the column shift lock solenoid comes from the factory as a sealed unit and is packed with grease. The 'excess' grease can keep the locking arm from fully retracking or engaging and the solenoid will chatter because it is trying to put it into position.
