“I bought this truck new. It has 70,000 miles. The bed and bumpers have extensive rust holes, completely through. Last year, the gas tank fell out while driving due to rusted through fuel tank straps. Now, the rear axle has started leaking due to a rusted out rear axle housing.I am a 64 yr old vet and afraid to drive the truck. If I fill up the rear axle it will get on the road and tires I have called and emailed Toyota and they told me to fix it at my expense.”

“The gas gauge is no longer giving accurate readings of how much gas is in the gas tank. The gas was at 1/4 of a tank and while I was driving it it completely died on me. When I tried to start it it wouldn't turn over the aaa guy said it sounded like the fuel pump might have gone out. I took it to my mechanic who said he just fixed the same problem but on a Toyota sequoia which it ended up being the gas gauge not reading how much gas is actually in the tank. …”

“I have a 2010 Toyota Tundra that has about 10,000 miles on it. About two months ago I started noticing the truck will randomly have a sudden loss of power. It happens mainly when it has been sitting all day. It's kind of scary because when you are pulling out of a parking lot or making a left hand turn the truck will all of a sudden have no power and then it will jolt forward. I have not taken it to the dealer because no indicator lights are coming on and that's usually the only way they know how to fix problems. …”

NHTSA complaint #10361608, filed 2010-10, 9,000 miles

“Toyota 2010 Tundra 4.6l double cab vehicle. Extremely sensative gas pedal. Nearly impossible to accelerate from complete or slow rolling stop without lurching ahead quickly. Nearly impossible to accelerate smoothly without wheel spin in wet or snow covered roads making this a safety hazzard. It is also a safety hazzard because I cannot back up or go forward safely in parking situations or parking lots. If there is anyone ahead or behind the truck - even for a considerable distance, I do not drive the truck because I cannot be sure it won't move ahead or behind uncontrolably. …”

“In march 2010, I purchased a new Toyota Tundra 2010 crewmax 5.7l truck fully loaded with navigation system, remote start, and guidepoint (lojack like) system from expressway Toyota in dorchester, ma. The truck was supposedly manufactured in february 2010 and had the revised gas pedal. On march 23, the incident below occurred. Was driving to work from reading, ma to charlestown, ma (about 13 miles) on tuesday, march 23. It was a rainy day and traffic was heavy. I had the defroster and wipers on and was stuck in traffic on a busy main street about 10 miles into the trip. …”
