2006 Toyota Tundra Fuel system Problems

“I've owned the truck for a year bought on dec 2019 3rd owner. I see that mines not listed as recalled for frame rust but I'm not sure why when the gas tank looks like it going to fall off and seems only critical sections are severely rusted like the gas tank and where the rear shock absorber sits. I could only see these spots now because they are hard to spot places where the frame joins.”

“Gas tank rear strap is broke and gas tank is hanging down. This truck has never seen a michigan winter I'm in florida for the winters and the truck is in near showroom condition.I don't know steel was produced for the straps but it is dangerous,especially for use in securing the gas tank ,they should have been stainless steel.this should be a recall ,I have found out they were replaced if your frame was replaced so why not just replace the straps if need be.”

“It started with my gas tank falling off the frame. My wife was driving the truck at the time the gas tank band broke that holds the gas tank to the frame. I then found a hole in the frame on the driver's side, just in front of the sway bar mount, large enough to place my hand in to the center of my palm. Obviously, this vehicle is not safe to drive.

“While traveling at 65 MPH (posted speed for the us 20 bypass around south bend in}, I drove over a slight bump coming off an overpass bridge. My wife and I heard a whooshing noise from under the truck that was repeated as we drove down the road. When we reached our destination I found the front gas tank retaining strap had broken. The gas tank was dangling just above the pavement and the noise was the plastic skid plate hitting the road. The strap was clearly rusted through after only 98000 miles. It was a full tank of gas. Fortunately there was no fire. …”

“Sometime in august of 2008 I was driving home from work in my 2006 Toyota Tundra, the car in front of me was driving very slow. I got irritated, changed lanes and punched my gas pedal. When I took my foot off the gas pedal my truck kept accelerating. I put on the brake and it still didn't stop accelerating, only when I tried again and put the brake on as hard as I could, I heard a pop noise and the accelerator went back to normal. I didn't take my truck in to be repaired right away because I had it for about 2 years and it never did that before and it only did it when I punched the gas pedal. …”
