Driveshaft broke at the rear yoke. Metalergical failure. Toyota has had many safety recalls for driveshaft failures, as of 12/27/2018 they have not had a recall on 2010 Tundras. Toyota clearly has an issue with their manufacture of driveshafts. Never in my 43 years of driving have I ever had a driveshaft break. My wife was driving the truck when she noticed s serious vibration and pulled the truck to the side of the road on an off ramp to s highway. The driveshaft had broken and the truck had to be towed. I contacted Toyota and they said my truck had no recall on the driveshaft despite all of their previous recalls for driveshaft problems.

A clunking noise coming from rear driveshaft when coming to a complete stop at low speeds. Feels like a drop in the rear end or a slight bump after setting still for a few seconds.

The frame is completely rusted holes in some spots. Exhaust is rusted. Exhaust hangers have rusted apart. Fuel tank hangers are rusted almost apart. All brake lines are rusted. Transmission is slipping due to mounting brackets being rusted. Driveshaft has fallen apart due to rust. Terrible condition.

I have a remote start system on my truck, I remote start my truck. The truck was parked on a level surface, nose pointing in towards house. The driveway drops off into a slope, but the truck was on the flat surface area. We go outside to get in it, and it's gone. It's not in the driveway and it's no where to be seen. I look over towards the creek, nope not there. Look out front, there's my truck and it is backed up on half in the street half in then the front yard. It's sitting where our mailbox should be. It is running and side marker lights are lit. I go look, open the drivers door to see if anybody is in it, nope, not a soul. It's in park, the 4 wd lo alarm is beeping, the 4lo led is lit on the dash, however, the switch/knob is still on the 2wd mode position. I press the brake pedal and the motor cuts off. So the remote start safety features were working properly. I have photos and a video (day after) showing where the truck landed and the path it traveled. I do not have any documents yet as this occurred last night. Dealership has the truck and will be evaluating the rear end and drive shaft, but insurance will not pay for inspection of the transmission. Cause of accident is unknown, but speculate something in the transmission failed while parked.

Drive shaft failure. Car feels like it is being hit from behind.

Powertrain: driveline : driveshaft. VIN check info shows 12 recalls on my vehicle. Nhtsa shows 0 recalls. Had to replace shaft assy due to fluid leaking at 13,000 miles.

Service bulletin TSB-0148-11 - drive shaft thumps when leaving a full stop- feels as though you were hit from behind. Was told it is not a warranty issue but it's a defect that should be fixed!. Paid good $$$$$ for truck and issues like this will make me think about the next vehicle I buy.

Had truck in for oil change whole frame, drive shaft parking brake cable is rusting through.

Recently while driving my 2007 Toyota Tundra, my driveshaft fell out of the slip yoke at the front of the truck behind the transmission. After a shuttering of the truck I finally stopped. Luckily, I was only going 10 mph and the damage was limited to the requirement for my drive shaft to be replaced. This is an item identified by Toyota as a problem, however, my VIN was not included in the safety recall. It seems with limited mileage on the vehicle, a catastrophic failure of the drive train would not have taken place. Updated 01/23/lj updated 01/23/14.

Drive yolk went out and blew the rear transmission seal. Could have dropped the drive shaft and caused serious injury. Over 2000 dollars to repair. This truck has been maintained to the tee, all maintenance done on the dot! very well taken care of. The truck is with high mileage, 90,000. However, we were told at time sale it had a 100,000 mile power train warranty in which there was no worry there because if maintained it would last for 300,000 plus miles. Now we are told that that is not so it was not 100,000 miles, it was only 60,000. The truck was very well maintained, all highway miles, drive 50 miles one way to work everyday on interstate, never taken off road, never pull anything. Well so much for honesty, because they basically told me to bad, so sad. I see Toyota is recalling all the 2011 models for drive yolk failure, and I have seen quite a few complaints on various places online on the 2007 Tundra’s drive shaft/yolk. They did recall the driveshafts for the 4x4 Tundras in 2007, but not the 4 x 2’s. Can’t they see there is a problem here also? the truck always felt like something was bumping you when you stopped. We were just told it was normal for the Tundra. So watch out folks with lower milage. I bought a Toyota when I was going to get another vehicle with a longer bumper to bumper warranty but the the Toyota salesman talked us out of it with his 100,000 mile (lie) power train warranty and his 300,000 mile comments. Well, what do I do now? this is ridiculous that they will not stand behind there product or even offer a discount, just a sorry about your luck!.

My 2005 Tundra double cab 4x4 has an issue where you feel a strong thud and push forward coming from the transmission when you come to a stop (such as a stop sign or red light). Toyota's only fix if to grease the propeller/drive shafts well. I do this with each oil change but the condition persists even after lubing the powertrain. Other Tundra owners have reported this as a common issue with this vehicle. Toyota should consider a more suitable fix than just applying grease. This issue has existed for years in my Tundra.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that when attempting to accelerate or brake to a stop, a loud thumping sound was heard from under the vehicle. Also, the contact mentioned that on multiple occasions when the vehicle was shifted into drive, the vehicle would suddenly accelerate independently without any warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the connection between the drive shaft and transmission was not locking securely but was unable to determine how to remedy the problem. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 43,000.

My 2004 Toyota Tundra double cab has an excessive amount of rust on the undercarriage. Because of this rust, the camber bolts cannot be removed to properly align the vehicle. I have been told that they will have to use heat to remove them, along with a lot of force, and in turn may do frame damage in the process. I have been quoted by my dealer $5,200 to fix the problem which initially started with a small shimmy in the steering wheel which grew into a big shimmy especially while towing. That quote does not include any possible charged from the body shop if damage to the frame should occur. I do not have $5,200 so I ended up with a new set of tires and half of an alignment because the camber bolts were not able to be removed. Here I am months later and my new tires are so bald on the front that I am actually seeing the tread showing through. I have always loved my Tundra, but all of this rust on the frame and undercarriage is very concerning regarding the longevity of my vehicle. I was told that Toyotas last forever. At this point I feel that my truck is dangerous to even drive but it is my only vehicle. I have owned and maintained many vehicles and never had rust issues like this, nor have I ever been faced with such a costly repair on a not so old vehicle. I am stuck in a bad place and just don't know where to go or what to do. I desperately need my truck. Without it I lose my source of transportation as well as my ability to earn a living. I just simply cannot afford. . . Meaning I just do not have this kind of money to bring my truck back to health. All of this stress and frustration is a result of this excessive rust. Included in the estimate is remove and replace camber bolts $1,957 --- steering rack boots 400. 00 alignment 90. 00---- driveshaft assembly $2,003---- rear u-joint $433. 00---- differential fluid $330. 00 it does not include any possible damage to the frame/body in their attempt to remove the camber bolts or another brand new set of tires.

2009 Toyota Tundra, 5 mos after purchase(5-16-09),my drive shaft replaced, while driving will not change gears will accelerate by itself as if the cruise control is on which is caused the odometer to read incorrectly,(reading 44,000 miles) & use excessive amount of fuel . Several fluid leaks, muffler replaced, transmission will not shift properly when accelerating & when I come to a complete stop it take time before is shift into stop, & electrical problems. Engine light comes on, ticking noise & vibration in the motor. These have codes coming up. My truck need to be replaced because this is causing more problems for the future. One problem leads to another. I was told by ron carter Toyota that I am being unreasonable for wanting my truck fixed right & not to bring it back to there dealer or they will call the police on me for wanting my vehicle replaced because I know I have been deceived & solded a lemon. I was told by the former service manager (now fired) bill crichton that I could look on the Toyota web site & look for the TSB (Toyota service bulletin) to find the info about Tundra's , I have not found that info yet. Please help I am paying for something that is not operating properly or safely. This is my only means of transportation & all I want is a new vehicle with no problems. Thank you.

1. Cold start piston slap - everytime vehicle is turned on and shifted into drive. 2. Tires do not hold a balance. 3. Steering wheel vibrates; especially at 64-70 mph 4. Drive shaft body roll - feels like being rear ended - every time truck comes to a complete stop.

While sitting at stop light and once you let go of the brake the truck jerks within the whole drive shaft from front to back.

As I slow down I feel a clunk in the transmission. A few seconds after I come to a complete stop, it feels as if someone bumps me in the rear, only there's no car behind me. They replaced the drive shaft and seal, but now the bump is even more pronounced. Also in the mornings the transmission will not change into 6th gear until I drive app. 1 mile at 60 mph. I am nearing the expiration of my warranty and I am concerned about this issue.

Truck has a clunk and bump coming from the drive train. When you let the foot off the brake the drive shaft jerks. Issue is getting worse. Arbitration says that Toyota has fixed the problem. Still has the problem.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. The contact received a notice for recall number ssc70 (power train:driveline:driveshaft) in January of 2008. The dealer was notified three separate times and they stated that the parts for the repair were unavailable. There had been no failure to date. The VIN, purchase date, and engine size were unknown. The current mileage was 137,000.

This filing is in reference to my 2006 Toyota Tundra sr5 v8 4. 7 ltr 10,000 miles. For the past few weeks of driving the above referenced vehicle I started to notice a knocking metal sound under the center console when accelerating and braking. . . I took no immediate action as I found it to be a very light sound. After a few more days of driving the knock became more noticeable I was more alarmed, when I got home I got under my truck with a flashlight and started to take a look around, after careful inspection I found that 3 of 4 12mm hex bolts on the automatic transmission mount/ crossmember were missing further more the case was that the rear transmission mount located near the driveshaft were loose enough that could be moved with minimal strength with my hand I was able to recover 1 bolt that fell into the crossmember along with a plastic retainer. I quickly tightened the loose bolts and realigned the mount took the truck out for a quick test drive and the sound stopped totally, the next morning I contacted my local Toyota dealer and purchased 2 new hex bolts that came out to $ 3. 40. After this u can say that all is now well, I believe this should be looked into as there maybe other similar units out there with the same issue, this could cause major damage to the vehicle and also possible inflict an accident.

The frame and cross members are deteriorated to the point of breaking. The front driveshaft and steering linkage is excessively deteriorated. The brake and fuel tank brackets are also deteriorated and are failing to support attached components.

While driving 70 mph, the transmission stalled. The vehicle was towed. Dealership repaired the problem. The driver heard and felt a loud bump in the rear of the vehicle. The engine continued to run but the vehicle would not move when the consumer applied the gas pedal. There was rear end grease leaking from the right side rear showing on the wheel and tire. The mechanic stated that there was no connection between the rear brake, rear end leaking grease, the drive shaft and the failure of the transmission. The brakes were a major problem, the cruise control never kept speed or smooth, the left lower front ball joint had a catastrophic failure that caused the entire wheel, brake line and all essential components on the left side of the vehicle to come loose. The consumer requested reimbursement. The brakes were a problem on the vehicle, and the drums were replaced.

While driving 10 to 15 miles an hour drivetrain locks up and vehicle skids to a stop. Dealer says it is an intermittent problem, and cannot duplicate. They have had the truck for two weeks. It has happened twice on the 19 of September and the 19th of October. From around 5:30 to 6:00 pm. I will drove it on the 19th of November hoping it will happen again. Computer and backup computer checks okay, no metal in any of the drivetrain components. This is a 4x4 sr5 2000 Tundra.
