My ruck was recalledseveral years agofor the frame. To correct this issuea toyota dealer spray the frame.this did not stop the frame from rusting.a lot of other people I talked to said their frames replaced with no questions asked. But not mine.when I talked toyota for the new england territory, I was just given a run around. And nothing was done. There have been other recalls such as the air bag recall Iam not sure that was done correctly. Recently I took my toyota to toyota of Keene NH. I was told that they found other issues like the yransfer case was cracked in half. And there was a priblem with the head lights. Yes I can see there was a problem with the lights, someone at toyota service did not plug them backin after they checked them. I had to move the battery to get at the head light think it was a bad bulb, not. And I lost the screw to the battery compartment some where intheengine area. I take great steps to keep my truck safe to drive and clean to look at.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact received the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v741000 (air bags) and inquired of manufacturer and dealer resposnibility in regards to the recall remedy. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under an unknown air bag recall at an unknown dealer however, he was not satisfied with the repairs as the dealer left adhesive glue visible on the dashboard and paneling that was removed to replace the passenger side air bag. The contact spoke to a supervisor at toyota customer experience whom informed him to take the vehcile to another toyota dealer for the current recall remedy however it was not guaranteed that toyota would be financially responsible to replace the dashboard as it was not a part of the recall. The failure mileage was 18,000.

On 10/02/14 the orignal battery in the truck failed. It was replaced with an interstate battery,#mtp24. This battery failed and was again replaced with another interstate battery on 10/8/15 at no charge. This battery failed and was replaced again today, 4/18/16. Greg leblanc toyota @ 220 s. Hollywood rd., houma, la 70360 tested the vechicle and found nothing to be drawing the battery down. They found nothing wrong with the battery but when when we tried to start it(parked in the driveway at our home) after using it on friday night, it would not turn over in any fashion the next day. My question is there something else that could be wrong with the vechicle that may show in the testing that it is working but could be faulty. I doesn't make sense to go through 3 batteries in 18 months. I checked to see if there were an recalls on the interstate batteries but didn't find anything from 2006 to present

Power window controls are intermittent . Window freezes in the down position at random. So far only affects front passenger window . Toyota says since I didn't buy it new , too bad for me . I thought I saw a power window master switch recall on the news ? Also the passenger airbag has shut off . Which I guess is a good thing . Toyota says just don't have anyone ride there ! Really ? I have no word from them concerning how long must we all wait for repairs . My truck was under 90,000 miles and less than 10 years old when this happened , now its a year later . Also the drivers door release cable broke so you cannot get out . I fixed that myself , but what if the windows and the ,doors all failed and trapped you in there ? Window stops and starts working randomly parked or driving , air bag shut off while parked , door cable broke while parked . Please tell me why the site says 1 recall ? I thought the window master switch was recalled . It should be . Thanks

When shifting from park to drive over/drive turns off. You hit the button to turn it back on and start driving and it automatically shuts off again, no matter your speed. It has turned off on me doing 70mph and really bogs down the transmission. I found if you wiggle the rubber boot at the consul it will turn it back on. Read on google the wire is stripped from all the years of shifting and is shorting it out.

Secondary air injection pump needs replaced. Code p1441 and p1444 error code. This recall only effects 2007-2009 models although the same problem was happening in 2005 and 2006. Mine being a 2006 isn't covered by a recall for the same issues. This is a 2k plus job. Thanks

Inflated the tires to ensure proper psi's prior to operation. Tire warning light shuts on and off. Tire warning lights will remain on when vehicle is started, idling, and in operation. This is still an ongoing problem that has not been fully resolved. The tire sensors could be a contributing factor which is not being reported as well. Went to the local dealership and was told that they will not fix unless the recall is under toyota's website and not the federal safety agency. This is a potential safety issue that could result in an accident, injury, or death.

My 2006 toyota tundra sxp has had a battery killing symptom since I purchased back in 2006. I did not realized the "cause" after it kept repeating many times during the warranty period. Battery will be exhausted (died) when passenger door was open and close without open and close the driver door. In other word, if only the passenger door was open and close and the driver door is untouched, then the battery surely died. Quality toyota dealer has been swapping batteries (maybe 3 times). My last service was about a month ago with the same symptom after a new alternator was replaced and was promised that this should be the cause. Same symptom happened a week after this last service (11/18/2011). The toyota service manager [xxx] and his service assistant [xxx] at quality import kept telling me that the truck have to be turned engine on daily for about an hour for the battery to retain its power? Fault designed/recalled? I have had many toyotas, none of them needs to do such thing even parked for 3 to 4 week, including our 2000 sienna with more than 130,000 miles, and also including the chevrolet cargo 1500xpress (>23000 miles). My 2006 tundra with just over 22,300 original miles. We have been scare to drive it on a long trip and/or to any where that we may have to park for a few hours. We always have a jumper cable in the car in case the battery went bad and/or drained down and could not start up. We have contacted quality toyota service [xxx] [xxx], and have also requested if his service manager, [xxx], can contact us for a resolution, but we have been ignored since december 20th, 2011. Our last service was with on november 16, 2011 with the cost of $238.36 for a new alternator . We agreed to pay for this in the hope that the problem (battery killing) was finally fixed even though this same symptom has happened and has been service during the warranty period.

My 2006 toyota tundra pickup truck has developed maximum acceleration on seven (7) occasions when I made hard accelerations in order to pass other vehicles while also engaging the resume mode of the cruise control. On the first two (2) occasions I applied the brakes heavily with no results and my vehicle continued to accelerate and I was forced to knock the truck out of gear and the engine continued to run a max rpms and I keep pumping the gas pedal until the engine finally slowed. The last time a similar event occurred I had a open highway after passing a slower vehicle so I cut the ignition off and my vehicle slowed down, I turned the ignition back on and my truck went to max acceleration again. The third time I cut the ignition off I heard a thump in the floor board close the gas pedal and the vehicle slowed and operated normally when I turned the ignition back on. I was traveling on a interstate the first two times this problem happened and just avoided hitting other vehicles. On the last occasion I had time to try a different solution. In each event the breaks were not effective at all. On 12/2/10 my toyota dealers service dept. Checked my truck after I made the above complaint and found no problems. In the past I had raised the issue with the dealers service dept and regional toyota rep. And was told by both that the 06 tundra did not have acceleration problems. *tr updated 01/17/12 updated ivoq 03/30/12
