Toyota Tundra owners have reported 1 problem related to steering gear box sector shaft (under the steering category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Toyota Tundra based on all problems reported for the Tundra.
The shift lever broke off, disconnected from the steering column at about 21000 miles. After I parked the truck, I was not able to shift it to reverse or any other gear. I had the vehicule towed to a dealer and they replaced the shift lever, tube steering, support tilt mechanism, and shaft control. (covered under warranty)
at 44, 000 miles. The exact same problem happened. I talked to the dealer and to a Toyota corporate representative, they stated since my vehicule is out of warranty, there was nothing they could do for me. I feel Toyota should cover the cost of the repair since this is a reccuring problem that is part of the drive train. The shift lever is a part that should last the live cycle of the vehicule. They are well aware of the deffect ; they should bear the cost.
