2005 Toyota Tundra Brakes Problems

“Got in truck, started it, brake light remained on. While driving, brakes were soft. Checked brake fluid reservoir, low on fluid. Added brake fluid, pumped brakes- pedal went to the floor. Fluid under right front wheel. Had truck taken to my mechanic - brake line rusted out, all all other lines rusted as well. Recommended all get replaced as a safety issue. Not only rust issues with this vehicle- was in the Toyota chassis recall- chassis coated with rust inhibitor. Differential rusted out- replaced at my cost. Toyota took no responsibility. …”

“My 2005 Toyota Tundra has 217k miles and is, mechanically, in terrific shape, except the frame has rusted out on the drivers side. Structurally, it's still drivable safely, but it will no longer pass state inspection (maine, USA). Thousands of other Toyota tundras of the same style and manufacturing process and similar model year have had frame recalls done for the exact same reason. I do not feel it is fair to skip this year. This is my family's only source of transportation right now, and it is vital to keep it on the road. Please allow a frame recall for this model year!”

“I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra, which has the entire frame all rusted. I already replaced all brake lines and differential because of the rust. The mechanic said it is rusted so bad that it could fall apart. There was a limited campaign for a recall on our Tundra and the spray was done in 2015. Obviously it didn't take because of all the continuous issues we are having. I called the corporate office of Toyota and opened an claim and the manager I spoke to really could care less and told me that once the warranties are over its no longer their (Toyota) problem. …”

“I have experienced floor mat entanglement issues and uncommanded accelerations with my 2005 Tundra double cab. I also have experienced a clunking sound in my brakes/front end when I shift into reverse and then apply the brakes. The dealer has told me all of these issues are normal which according to the recalls for other model years they are clearly not normal. Can the 05 tundras be added to the current recalls and can the brake issue be addressed?”

“While driving my 2005 Toyota Tundra, the car in front of me stopped suddenly. I hit my brakes hard but felt the car go along as if it was in neutral, no braking at all. I crashed into the car in front of me causing significant damage.”
