Axle Assembly Problems of Toyota Tundra

I brought my Tundra in for an oil change only to discover all the grease from the inside of the rubber boots covering the axles ends has comes out. The rubber boots had not failed and the clamps were still intact. The grease had made it way past the clamp. I had to have both front axles replaced at 73,000 miles.

I was heading up my close friends snow covered driveway in my 2005 Toyota Tundra double cab 4wd. I had the truck engaged in 4h mode because of the slight snow cover. As I was 2/3 the way up I heard a pop and loud bang and the truck came to a stop with the rear wheels spinning I let off of the gas then started to slide backwards into a tree and then into a ditch causing contact with the r/f door and r/f fender removing the mirror in the process. Upon removal of the truck form the ditch I found that the r/f (pass side)wheel was locked up. At this time we were moving the truck off of the road way and then the wheel began to move after going forward and back a few times. I took the truck to the local Toyota dealer where they said that the truck had a broken r/f cv joint. They have refused to fix any body damage but replaced the axle. After the axle was fixed the dealer said Toyota wanted me to pck up the truck and drive it until they had made a decision on the body work. I refused to pick up the truck due to it not having a mirror on one side and I do not feel the door is secured. The truck has 652 on it and this was only the 2nd time in 4wd for a total usage of about 2 miles. The dealer has refused to let me have the parts and said they would keep them aside. I provided the dealer with a written request to hold the damaged parts for 90 days as of 12/16/05.

My axle is being replaced on my 2002 Tundra. My local mechanic says this is a common problem. Dealer will not admit or deny this. It seems that this could be a real safey issue. This was discovered during routine maintenance.

Increasingly excessive noise from rear axle. Dt.

I have had multiple problems with my 2002 Tundra trd 4wd. I have had it in more than 4 times for the brakes vibrating/pulsating and looks like I will be taking it in again as they are starting to vibrate again!! reno Toyota has always done all the maintenance on it and keep trying to say it is my fault the brakes are bad and the rotors are warping. They replaced the rear axles a couple of months ago but I had to pay the $50 deductible. They also had to install a gasket on the crossover for the engine coolant as the factory never installed it. The ac doesn't get cool enough to cool the interior. Whistling noise but don't know where it is coming from. . . Sounds like coming from side mirrors??? I replace the wheels recently because of vibration because the wheels were warped. Always have excessive brake dust on front wheels. Transmission feels and sounds like it is slipping all the time. Rough idle after warm up. I bought it new in July 2002 and now have 69400 miles on it. Most of which are highway miles with no towing ever. . . No heavy hauling ever. Am too afraid to drive it off-road because of all the brake problems. . . Nevada=mountains=cliffs=death. . . I am not ready to risk my life or my grandchildren so will not even let me ride with me anywhere.

Brakes had to be replaced after each failure due to oil contamination.

Rear seals repeatedly leak, causing brake fluid on rear brake drums, resulting in the failure of the rear brakes. First failure reported above. Additional failures as follows: 6/12/2001, 21961 miles; 8/03/2001, 30046 miles; 11/02/01, 40300 miles; 9/21/02, 91056 miles; and now again 10/23/02, 96473 miles. Seals on both rear wheels leak, not just one side. I now have puddles of brake fluid under my wheels in the garage. Dt.

Drums have been replaced 3 times ,front rotors replaced 2 times, front pads replaced 2 times,replacedrear shoes1 time,replaced right side axle and studs,cut drums 2 times,cut rotors 1 time.
