Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Quoted for almost 4000 to fix this manifold air injection manifold. Researched online and found out it to be a common problem with this car due defect. I don't understand why they recalled 2007 and newer but not the older ones which seems to have the same problem. I hope your agency can assist us with this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10483272, filed 2012-11, 110,800 miles“I bought my truck new and had every scheduled maintenance performed. The secondary air injection system has failed and the truck is in limp mode and will not drive or pass emissions. I have been told the repair is around 3500 and the dealer nor Toyota corporation will take responsibility for the faulty part. Even though they know it has been a problem for years and they extended the warranty on 2007 thru 2010 models which use the same parts. I am trying to take legal action to get some resolution.”
NHTSA complaint #10670515, filed 2015-01, 120,000 miles“Sitting in traffic, the engine revved up by itself on my 2005 Toyota Tundra sr5 v8. Problem was abated by turning engine off and restarting. This problem resulted in a mil error that side b of the engine was running lean. After completing an analysis of the problem, the findings are that the oxygen sensors are not responding to specification. It is my firm belief that the firmware on the ECM does not self check for runaway conditions.”
NHTSA complaint #10318156, filed 2010-03, 92,500 miles“I noticed a gas leak under the vehicle. Technician told me it is dangerous to drive the vehicle with gas leak. Dealer refuses to repair it as he claims that it is not manufacturer's defect.”
NHTSA complaint #10669133, filed 2014-12, 94,000 miles“I filled my gas tank (17 gallons), drove about 4 miles and was pulling into a parking lot when I heard a grinding sound, I looked under the truck and saw the straps holding my gas tank had snapped in half and my gas tank was laying on the ground. I had recently recieved a limited service campaign letter from Toyota notifiying me that vehicles operated in cold climates with high road salt use may exhibit more-than-normal corrosion to the vehicles frame which may contribute to the development of more than normal rust in the frame of some vehichles . …”
