Any complaints about the tundra - Page 3

JBL85 · 07-14-2004, 11:45 AM

The check engine light came on in the Tundra and Toyota said we needed a new valve body and some other part. Its been 2 weeks and they said it should only take a week for the parts to come in. The neighbor at work had his whole transmission changed. So that is a big problem with the truck.

Also I changed the shocks because they were squeeking and it was getting annoying.

Redneck? I hate rednecks. And did I make a comment about you or any other person? No. I was making a well founded obsevation about a vehicle.

Small and WEAK? Obviously you've never driven one. To start, it's not even all Japanese anymore. Your typical GM's have more Japanese parts in them then Toyotas. WEAK?! I took my uncle's truck out against my buddy's 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 w/HEMI and I won by about a car length.....and you want to know why? Because my throttle is computerized not cabled, and the Tundra has a HEMI too! WOW will you look at that, Toyota just doesn't have to advertise it. It's just hemispherical heads...nothing big with American trucks, they just spend more money on advertising!

All the GM engines have computerized throttle control. And your right, I've never driven one, but I have been in the drivers seat, and they are small. So far, the only japanese parts I have found are in the aftermarket sterio

If you have never drivenone why are you posting here?

Yes the Tundras are smaller trucks. Some people perfer a managable size. I believe silverados and suburbans are made in mexico. My Tundra (2001) was assembled in USA (except for the motor) using a mix of japanese and american parts; according the the origin sticker.

Back on track of the old thread...
2001 access cab 4x4 v8 etc with a fair amount of offroad usage
1.I've been having the break problems. Dealer put on an 03 caliper and it helped, but didn't fix the vibration.
2.My tires also went out at 15k miles, but since you are looking at an 02 that should already be taken care of. The michelin LTX A/Ts have 28k on them and they are wearing even and well.
3. This in an access cab problem, but the window latches break when opeing the windows.

A/C in an 04 DC, I think it should be cooler...

You sound like a moron trying to be partially intelligent after displaying your stupidity with an obsurd comment in an incorrect location. Go else where if you want to start trouble, or you will be reported to AF admins, yes be scared, I am an online tough guy.

Dude you know nothing about Toyota's, first all all your funny cars and stuff are ricer burners, the term rice burner came for the use of rice alcohol used as fuel in dragsters and funny cars.

Second with the exception of Lexus and Scion brands, all of Toyota vehicles are made in the US or Canada, but majority the US.

Third our Tundras have more towing power, better gas mileage and safier over all thean your Chevy will ever be, not to mention that it is a better quality build than Chevy.

Toyota supplies half the tech that GM, Ford and Dodges use as well as parts.

BTW:

The GM Group of global partners includes Fiat Auto SpA of Italy, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., Isuzu Motors Ltd. (by your stanrds a rice burner car company) and Suzuki Motor Corp. of Japan, (by your stanrds a rice burner car company) which are involved in various product, powertrain and purchasing collaborations. In addition, GM is the largest shareholder in GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co. of South Korea (by your stanrds a rice burner car company). GM also has technology collaborations with BMW AG of Germany and Toyota Motor Co rp. of Japan, and vehicle manufacturing ventures with several automakers around the world, including Toyota.

Well said Sportivo Concepts

The only complaint I have about my 2001 SR5 Access Cab V8 is the @$#%#$@#$ seatbelt retensioner. I hate that thing, it locks up all the time when I want to retract it. Other than that, I love my truck. Great power and reliability. The truck may be a little smaller than some trucks, but it is not akin to the difference between a full size truck, and a compact truck. As far as the rice burner comments, check where your "american" car is built, or it's domestic content. You will be shocked.

TORTOLA ICEMAN · 08-21-2004, 07:45 PM

JUST TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE BRAKES ON 2002 V-8/SR5'S ARE THE SAME AS 2000-2001 OR THERABOUTS . MY BRAKES ON MINE WERE UPGRADED AT NO EXPENSE. THIS INCLUDED ROTORS, CALIPERS, BEARINGS, MASTER CYLINDER, ECT. EVERY PART IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS LARGER AND HEAVIER DUTY. THIS IS THROUGH RESEARCH OF FACTORY TSB's. MY SYMPTOMS WERE FADING AND VIBRATION.
SO NEEDLESS TO SAY THEIR ARE PROBLEMS WITH "ALL" VEHICLES WHICH ARE KEPT AS CLOSE TO SECRET AS POSSIBLE. STILL LOVE THE TRUCK. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE(BUSHINSKI) IS PUSHING. THE AUTO bUYERS HAVING HAVING ABSOLUTELY NO ACCESS TO INFORMATIOM CONCERNING EITHER EXISTING OR POSSIBLE FUTURE PROBLEMS WITH CARS UNTIL SOMETHING OCCURS UNDER WARRANTY, AND EVEN THEN YOU WILL NOT BE GIVEN ANY REASONING AS TO WHAT HAPPENED. BETTER BELIEVE AND WATCH YOUR VOTE. JUST REMEMBER " BY, OF, AND FOR THE PEOPLE (NOT CORPORATE AMERICA)".

tconnors · 09-09-2004, 03:35 PM

BRAKES just keep "breaking".... I just got my 2000 Tundra back from it's FOURTH brake job. The 3rd one 9 months ago was the "upgrade" at no expense, and since it was only 9 months (6K miles) this fix was also no expense.... but you'd think by now they could figure out what was REALLY wrong! I'm sure my good vibrations will come back in 3 or 4 months.... I'm just pissed I like it so much or it would have been history 2 years ago!

Let us not forget the Chevy Nova and Geo Prizm that Chevy had stamped from the Toyota line.
