“2005 Toyota Tundra -- 3 times it sped up on its own. Either floormat and/or accelerator. Third time there was a crash, into our retaining wall in our driveway. I tried to get people to pay attention, contacted customer service, etc., at Toyota, no one believed it. Also insurance company said it was driver's fault.”
NHTSA complaint #10303943, filed 2010-02, 22,000 miles“My vehicle suddenly lost power because the plastic fan in the secondary injection system broke and the pieces blew into the exhaust ports and melt, sticking up the exhaust ports. The vehicle doesn't run right and is a safety hazard because of a design problem. Toyota accepts the problem and has extended the vehicle warranties for the 2007-2010 model years, but not for my model year. Repair has cost me over $3,000 for their mistake. It is a safety hazard. It should be recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #10809058, filed 2015-12, 80,000 miles“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?”
NHTSA complaint #10314162, filed 2010-02, 38,000 miles“Uncontrollable acceleration: my husband's 2005 Toyota Tundra accelerated at a very high speed while he had his foot on the brake at a stop sign. He had his back pushed up against the seat and pushed as hard as he could on the brake, but the truck took off anyways and he was forced to pull out in front of oncoming traffic. Luckily he wasn't hit. This is the second time this has happened in this truck. In january of 2015 he was backing into our driveway when his truck suddenly accelerated at a very high speed. He put his foot on the brake and the tires kept spinning. …”
NHTSA complaint #10884748, filed 2016-07, 164,000 miles“I bought a 2003 Toyota Tundra 4x4 and since I bought it I felt that when I was at a stop light my truck accelerated by itself making a huge noise at the rear end axel I took my truck to a Toyota dealer and they said it they find nothing wrong but the problem continued for the 2 years I had the truck then I bough a 2005 Tundra also 4x4 and it has the same problem dealer don't do anything to solve my problem sometimes it feels like if someone hits the truck from behind like a sudden jump or push.”
