MY TUNDRA HAS 48048 MILES ON IT. I TOOK MY TUNDRA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A OIL LEAK IN THE CAM TOWER. THE COST TO FIX IT WAS $2850. IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I DID A LITTLE SEARCHING AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED FREQUENTLY IN THIS ENGINE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD, AFTER THEY CONSULTED WITH THE DEALER, THAT THE PROBLEM WASN'T A DEFECT, BUT CAUSED BY ENGINE WEAR AND ALTITUDE. THEY OFFERED TO PAY FOR PARTS, WHICH WERE $420. IF IT IS REALLY ENGINE WEAR, I EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. IN TALKING TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THIS IS A ONE TIME FIX, AND IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT HERE. EITHER IT IS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE AND THIS REPAIR WILL FIX IT. OR IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING. I FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA SHOULD FIX, SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. MANY PEOPLE REPORTED IT HAPPENING WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. MINE JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE OCCURRED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. EITHER WAY, IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE THIS HAPPENING IN THIS ENGINE WITH LOW MILEAGE. APPARENTLY THE OIL LEAKS DOWN FROM THE ENGINE ONTO THE EXHAUST PART OF THE VEHICLE AND CAN CAUSE FIRES. IT ALSO CAN LEAK OUT AND CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE IF THE OIL GETS TOO LOW. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME.

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA NEW. I RECENTLY NOTICED SIGNIFICANT RUST IN THE BED OF MY TRUCK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THE RUST IS ALSO IN THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF TOYOTA TRUCKS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER MY MODEL AND YEAR ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THESE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID YES THIS IS A PROBLEM WE KNOW ABOUT HOWEVER YOURE OUT OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD AND WE WILL NOT COVER THE DAMAGE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS THAT THE START OF THE ISSUE IS COMPLETELY HIDDEN AND THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE AND YOU'RE OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK IS QUITE RUSTED AND WILL CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THERE ARE TWO DISTINCT RUST SPOTS IN THE BED WHERE THE FRAME ATTACHES TO IT. THE ONE SPOT WHICH IS WORSE ACTUALLY HAS A HOLE IN THE METAL BOTTOM OF THE BED. I CAN'T GET PICTURES OF THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK BUT I DID INCLUDE PICTURES OF THE TWO RUST SPOTS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BED. THE TWO SPOTS ARE LOCATED TOWARD THE CAB AND ARE IN THE SAME SPOT OF THE BED BUT ON OPPOSITE SIDES. I LIVE IN A VERY DRY CLIMATE SO FLOODING AND HUMIDITY ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF THIS RUST. YOU CAN TELL FROM THE LOCATION OF THE SPOTS THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

Remedy: TOYOTA FILED AN AMENDED DEFECT REPORT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2009, STATING THAT DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, ALTER THE SHAPE OF THE FLOOR SURFACE UNDER THE PEDAL.

REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN APRIL 2010 AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY MODIFIED PEDAL WITH THE NEW PEDAL IF DESIRED. ALSO, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY GENUINE TOYOTA OR LEXUS ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS WITH REDESIGNED ALL-WEATHER MATS, OR REPURCHASE THE PREVIOUS MATS FROM OWNERS WHO DO NOT WANT THE NEW ONES.
