2000 Toyota Tundra tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Was driving vehicle on gravel road when tires started hissing. Stopped vehicle and exchanged tire. 2 other tires were having same problem. Each tire would become flat while driving in woods. Contacted dealershipand informed consumer it was not their problem. Didn't know cause of tires becoming flat.
Rack and pinion steering failure, causing front tires to wear excessively. Front brakes would grab/vibrate when vehicle got hot, and brakes were applied. Vehicle been in dealer shop on several occasions, and informed consumer that nothing was wrong. Vehicle taken to an independent repair shop, and it informed consumer of rack and pinion steering problem. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
Brake calipers, rotors, and pads have been replaced several times.
Have had 3 flats in 1 week, dealer refuses to warranty tires, dealer says tires not meant for off road use. ??? 4x4 vehicle??? Tires are 2 ply tread, 1 ply sidewall, passenger car tires. Toyaota won't replace tires. Tire dealers reporting similiar vehicles with same problems. *ak (tiresize: p26570r16)( dot number: tire size: p26570r16 )
Spare tire released while vehicle was in motion at approximately 55 MPH and towing 5th wheel, causing damage to rv truck. Complete assembly that holds spare tire has also fallen out, the only part left was crank. Therefore dealer could not determine cause.
This v-8 powered four-wheel-drive vehicle has p265/16 dunlop tires which are only inflated to only 26 p.s.I. On the front axle. I complained to the dealership that I thought they had put the wrong tire inflation sticker on my truck (the sticker states the pressure for p245/16 tires). Living in hot florida and riding around on tires that are half-flat has me really concerned about a blow-out due to an underinflated, hot tire. The reason toyota has recommended such a low tire pressure is because they are having vibration problems with this truck - when the tire pressure is raised to the proper (tire manufacturers recommended inflation of 35 p.s.I.), they vehicle vibrates like crazy at highway speeds. No amount of balancing or replacement has solved the problem - toyota's answer is a dangerous lowering of the tire pressure to a ridiculous 26p.s.I. On a v-8 full-sized pick-up with a heavy four-wheel-drive driveline. Also, the tire information sticker placed on the vehicle doesn't even have the inflation recommendation for the tires on the vehicle. I'm afraid of a serious accident due to a tire blow-out.
Toyota recommended an incorrect tire pressure. It was different from what michelin recomended. This was confirmed by the tire manufacturer, and could cause tire failure. *ak the vehicle had vibration problem and toyota says to run the tires at 26 pst to keep the front end from vibrating. Toyota was unable to fix it.
We bought a 2000 toyota tundra, 4x4, extra cab. At 800 klms we noticed there was no paint left on the front bottom corners of the box. At 5800 klms there is no paint left on the whole undercarage of the truck, large chunks of metal gone from the rockerpanels, rock chips all over the vehicle including the roof. This truck has factory tires, mudflaps, and fender flares and still throws rocks so extensively to the rear, centre and front of the vehicle you actually drive right into them therefore damageing the windshield as well. It is dangerous for any mortorist behind it. We are currently heading into a dispute with toyota canada via canvap as toyota canada's position on this matter is that nothing is covered under warrenty as it is "owner abuse" due to driving on abnormal road conditions!! We drive 2 klms a day on a government maintained gravel road, and 60 klms a day on a major highway. We have seen two other tundra's with the same problem so far and are looking for any other tundra owners who have this problem. Our truck looks like it has been sandblasted. We have reports from independent body specialist who can't believe what this truck is doing.
