Autonation toyota would not install rear tow hitch due to severity of frame rust. Cautioning that any sort of impact would total the vehicle. After reading several reviews stating very similar rust problems I have started an online petition against toyota. Even if the frame is replaced the rust has affected many components of the vehicle. Being a safety issue. Severe bodily harm or death can occur.

Tamara recall - I was exiting the freeway, making a left hand turn onto the city street, I was traveling approximately 25 miles per hour. As I entered the intersection, on a green light, a 1996 gmc yukon ran a red light, travelling approximately 40 miles an hour and hit me on my front end, damaging the bumper, fender, door, hood and bed on the drivers side. I was wearing my seatbelt but the impact was hard enough to propell me upwards, causing my left shoulder to hit the frame above the window which caused a grade 3 separation of my left collarbone.

This started 1/7/2017 coming home from work back gravel road heater would not work noticed heat gauge went all the way up then came down to normal worked ok for a while did it again. Drive home approx. 10 miles did not get hot but temperature gauge registered hot slowly drove home put water in after cooled off. Had to leave at home till I made appointment to bring in. Did not bring to dealer which is 40 miles away drove 8 miles slowly to mechanic. He replaced radiator, filled with new coolant mileage 91003. Did not mess up until 2/27/2017 same road registered hot drove home shut off added water, had to sit for a few days till opening for appointment. He did not fix he checked out found 2 leaks one dealing with transmission and the other dealing with steering or ball joints. He is concerned because it ran out of fluid even thou I filled up asap. Never had a problem before. This is what he says possible head gasket leak near steering rack. And between engine and transmission possible front seal. Also I will be calling the dealership tomorrow in olathe, kansas.

While towing a travel trailer on a mountain pass freeway in wa state with no shoulder. Going up the hill and started to put the foot down on gas to get speed up for the upcoming steep hill, the check engine light came on and all power was lost, engine went into limp mode with no place to pull over. I had to travel at 8mph, up the hill until I found a suitable pull out spot for the truck and 30ft trailer. I was almost was rear ended multiple times even with emergency flashers going. This has happened 2x, both in the exact same spot doing the exact same thing. The first time was only a few months after my extended warranty ran out in and the dealer was unwilling to do anything to help out. But they were more than happy to charge $100 to tell me it would cost $4200 to repair it, including the secondary $1800 egc vacuum pump, which only runs, as the dealer told me, 30-45 seconds at start up, then the pump does nothing. Why does this occur after running 2+ hours?? The second time it happened, I was towing the same trailer at the exact same place ending up going only 8 MPH uphill again on the hiway w/60mph limit!! This time at the advice of a friend, once out of traffic. I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes, reconnected it and the computer had reset itself and the truck ran fine the last 45 minutes home. I no longer travel that road with no shoulder as I am afraid it's going to cause a major accident. Toyota is aware of this problem in the 05-06 models. Yet are fixing it under recall on 07+ models but won't help anyone else with an '06 or older. This is my 3rd toyota and last. The first time it happened I had 60000 miles, the 2nd time it was at 68500 miles. I only have 87500 on it now, at 10 1/2 years of ownership. I am actively looking for a truck that has a company that will stand behind its brand. I'm done with toyota. They still haven't fixed my airbags either!!

I pulled into my furniture store and had the truck in drive but stationary and was getting ready to put the truck in reverse to park into my spot. All of a sudden the truck accelerated like a bat out of hell and I ended up crashing into the store's entrance causing a lot of damage to both the vehicle and the store's building. It could have been worse because I almost ran over my daughter. I know what happened. I did not press the gas pedal by mistake. This is a terrible situation. This should not happen to anyone.

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
