This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number 13V252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure). The contact did not experience the failure; however she was concerned that she could be crashed into from the rear due to fast moving traffic. The failure and current mileage was 34,000. The VIN was not available.
2000 Toyota Tundra limited access cab 4WD trd. Fuel line link detected after short trip. Excessive fuel pouring from driver side rear door of extended cab. Leaked was slowed when gas cap was removed. Leaked continued at a much slower pace as due to lower pressure in pressurized fuel line. Leak was limited to the cab area only. Frame was recently replaced in recall campaign. Much of the underbody components - leaf spring, axle, springs, brake covers, etc. - are deteriorating due to rust. These components were not covered under the frame recall. Fuel line appeared to have rust but could not detect perforation and could not determine actual location of leak. Car brought to dealer for repair with an estimate of $850 to replace fuel lines.
The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Tundra. The contact was driving approximately 5 mph over a road hump when he heard a loud popping noise. After inspecting the vehicle, he noticed that the front fuel tank strap was severely rusted and fractured. The vehicle was able to be driven approximately 10 mph and was taken to the dealer who replaced the fuel tank strap. The manufacturer was contacted and reimbursed the contact for the part. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. Updated 02/22/12 the consumer stated the vehicle had severe frame rust, including the cross member, gas straps, brake lines, proportional valve etc. Updated 03/01/12
This vehicle was purchased at greensburg Toyota, greensburg, pa. This vehicle has had brake lines replaced, fuel lines replaced, the frame corroded and rusted out, fuel lines rusted out, the tie rods rusted out, the tailgate rusted out, the electrical outlets for the backup and tail lights were shorting out, the entire body on this vehicle is rusting. This vehicle is a complete menace to the Toyota company. This vehicle had the front axles rusted out and the wheel fell off while driving it.
I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra and it has a problem that when the car gets hot the engine will stall out and die without warning. It creates no omd II errors and the check engine light never appears. The ECM fuse blows on occasion but replacing it does not lead to a running vehicle. It fails to start until the engine compartment cools down. There is fire from the spark plugs and there is fuel pressure in the fuel rail. We have replaced all the relays and fuses in the ECM and EFI circuits and all fingers are now pointing to the ECM controller itself. We just changed out the fuel pump and are looking at replacement of all the ignition coils (8) and all the fuel injectors (8). But since all of these components seam to be working that would make little since. The recent recall for the ECM on the matrix & corolla indicate that there may have been problems with the manufacture of ECM units for a much longer period of time since my Tundra is exhibiting the same problem. This problem has been getting worse for over 5 years now and the Toyota dealers and other Toyota specialty shops cannot find the problem since there are no engine codes and the fact that it will start and run fine after it cools down. I have been waiting for it to die and not start at all to hope to find the problem.
I have a Tundra 2000. Most of the frame are corroded due to rust. While driving, hit a pot hole and the gas tank straps let go due to corrosion. Gas tank drop to the ground, luckily I pull to the side and no accident happen. Thanks god.
Fuel line on driver side on 2000 Tundra perforated due to rust. Noticed while braking on downgrade portion of large hill. Vehicle stopped very poorly, almost resulting in loss of control. Had to pay to tow and replace fuel line on vehicle.
I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra, access cab, 4WD truck with 160,000 +/- miles. I purchased the vehicle used from the original owner who lived in the akron, Ohio area. I have noticed significant section loss to frame members, cross members and cab supports. Presently, the frame is completely perforated on the underneath side near the passenger front door. Additionally, the passenger middle cab support has corroded completely off, the front drivers cab support has rusted completely away and the front bumper/impact guard has completely rusted off. I have contacted the dealership and corporate headquarters two separate times. They have responded promptly all three times; however, the issue is still be investigated at the "executive level". additionally, I have had to replace one of the rear brake lines and the fuel tank strap due to failure from corrosion. The vehicle is in excellent mechanical shape and body is nearly flawless. I have photos available. The frame seems to be most severely deteriorated at the boxed section near the transmission support cross member. Under normal driving conditions (I.e. not towing/no payload) this would likely be the point in the structure associated with maximum bending. Due to the box design- it is impossible to inspect the total amount of section loss; although, as previously stated the passenger side rail is completely perforated along the underneath side. I can attest that my father has a 2002 Toyota Tundra with no deterioration. It is unclear if Toyota used a different treatment for the later model vehicles. Most alarming to me, is how quickly Y the corrosion has progressed. Since last September, the corrosion has progressed from a surface rust appearance into bubbling and complete deterioration.
Consumer stated that problem cannot be duplicated at the dealership. When he is cranking vehicle for a long period of time. There is a lot of raw gasoline smell coming inside of vehicle.
