Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The amplifier for the AC/heat controls broke. I need it fixed as the truck is not usable in southeast arizona without AC. Toyota put the amp in this model behind the dash. This was wrong and they changed it fairly quickly. To repair this model requires an additional $1,200 of cost beyond that of the broken part. I spoke with Toyota and have a file number. They won't do anything to help with this cost or an electronic work around. This is a real safety issue. The vehicle can be driven but it is a death trap and this is caused by poor engineering. Attach is the request I sent to Toyota.”
NHTSA complaint #11327535, filed 2020-06, 125,000 miles“I took my Tundra into the dealership where I bought it, for the power window motor recall. The airbag light had been coming on for about a year. They informed me that that means the airbag is inoperable. I asked them to check and tell me what the issue was. They ran a check,(code b1801) and said to rule out some other problem they would first have to change out the spiral cable assembly, at my cost. Apparently that fixed the issue. It seems odd to me that with 8 million spiral cable assembly's under recall, that that would be the issue here, and it is not covered by the recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10668193, filed 2014-12, 107,060 miles“Hello, two day ago I was pulling put of my condo complex when I noticed a burning plastic smell. After about 20 seconds smoke and very small flames started to pour out of the drivers door panel where the switches are located. There was no major fire damage but the car was filled with smoke and the switch that operates the passenger side front window melted down. I fortunately had some tools nearby so I quickly disconnected the battery cables as it was still arcing and sparking. The only switch that works properly is the drivers side front window. …”
