We were out of town when 3 lights on the dash appeared. Traction , engine and vsb. No dealershiip in town where we were. My husband disconnected the battery and it reset. Didn't see the lights for three weeks, just came back on after sitting up all night. Dealership said $600, thank goodness I got extended warranty. When you excellerated to 30mph it would not shift out right. And vehicle would not go over 60mph.

Faulty abs actuator in 2008 Toyota Tundra causes multiple safety hazards in vehicle including catastrophic abs brake failure, disabled speedometer, inoperable 4wd, etc. . Wide-spread tbs problem with very expensive repair. Obvious manufacturer defect and safety hazard that Toyota is not willing to correct outside of warranty.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. While driving approximately 60 mph under normal road conditions a slippery conditions service light illuminated on the dashboard and the vehicle began to lunge forward. The vehicle was driven onto the emergency lane and after shutting off then back on it began to function normally. The failure was not diagnosed by the dealer. The failure did not recur. The failure and current mileages were 19,122.

I hear a strange, almost slipping sound sometimes when I take off, or turn a corner, almost like I'm not getting traction. It doesn't happen all the time and never when I take it in. . Is this normal or sometime I should worry about?.

I have a Toyota Tundra 2005 that has had the throttle drivers updated. I have had at least 6 incidences of uncontrolled acceleration. These incidences occur at slow speed in muddy situations. Depressing the brakes to the floor does not stop the vehicle and I have had several near misses. This occurs in 2 wheel drive and I believe it has to do with the vsc and software. The only way to stop the throttle or unwanted momentum is to throw the vehicle into neutral. Even this does not immediately help. I recommend the ignition key as the quickest way to stop this. Additionally, our company has a newer Tundra that is getting fixed under the recall. This truck has experienced similar situations with other employees driving. Slow speeds in 2 wheel drive, in muddy situations the truck pushes you uncontrollably. I will investigate more once the truck is returned with the recall repairs. This all is related to the vsc system and the software. Please have an investigator call me. I believe that I can easily reproduce this situation in the vehicle. These vehicles are unsafe and Toyota needs to address these issues. I don't believe the current recall is addressing the issue!.

The vehicle had been sitting in the driveway overnight. When I got in to go to work in the morning several warning lights were illuminated. The slip, brake, 4x4 hi and lo, vehicle stability control, and lsd lights stayed on until I stopped and turned the vehicle off and then back on. When I restarted the vehicle the lights were out. This has happened six times in the past 12 months. Two other times the brake light was on and stayed on until I turned off the vehicle and restarted. There has never been an acceleration issue. On two occasions, while driving on a dry road the traction control engaged and took the power out of the vehicle. On both occasion was driving in town at less than 30 mph. The local dealership has never been able to duplicate the fault.

I own a 2007 Toyota Tundra - 4x4. Several times I noticed that it had moved from where I parked it. It had moved from the spot that I had placed it and rolled backwards, down a fairly steep grade, a distance of around 20 feet. I tried several times to replicate the incident and discovered the following: when parked on a hill without the parking brake engaged the transmission would not "lock" in park while the truck was in 2 wheel drive. This condition can be replicated only when the truck is placed into park immediately after having the anti skid (traction control) respond to a slippery condition. The problem does not occur when the truck is placed into 4 wheel drive. The problem also does not occur if the automated anti skid response does not activate itself. The rolling does not always begin immediately. I have not yet tried to get the same responses while backing the truck up the hill in reverse. I reported this to the local Toyota dealer in warren, ohio on Tuesday, December 22, 2009. I am very concerned that this condition may cause serious injury or death to anyone who may find themselves behind the vehicle when it begins to roll.

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.

I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra which has had numerous problems with the front and rear brakes. The front brakes were "repaired" within the first 4,000 miles of driving but the front disc rotors continue to warp within 10-15,000 miles of additional "repairs". The rear brakes are frequently bathed in oil from leaking rear-ed seals caused, I'm told, by plugged rear-end vents. The vent has been cleaned or replaced and the rear seals replaced five times in the history of the car (now 109,000 miles). The bias between the brakes is extremely favoring the front brakes and the abs has not worked for some time. Panic braking, especially in rain-soaked or snow-covered surfaces entirely is entirely insufficient and dangerous. I have been very disappointed by Toyota's responsiveness to these problems and seeming inability to fix these problems. I've read numerous similar complaints from other Tundra owners. This is a pervasive, persistent and life-threatening design flaw that is, apparently, unfixable.
