Tl* the contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that in the seven years of owning the vehicle, he had to replace both front tires at least eight times.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the alloy wheels began to bubble, causing loss of air pressure in the tires and the tires to deflate. The rims were cleaned but all four wheels continued to leak air. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The failure mileage was 39,000.
All four rims are the alloy wheel . They are all blistering and pieces of rims are falling out. Called toyota they told in short there is no recall on them and there is nothing they can do. They also would not comment if there were others complaints on the rims. They told me there is nothing they will do until they are in recall.
Wheel corrosion on my 2006 toyota tundra 4d v8. Dealer had the wheels replaced about 2 yrs. Ago (still under warranty at that time). Now having the exact same problem or bubbling/corrosion under the sealant/paint with the new wheels and being told, "sorry, they're out of warranty". Would appear to be an obvious manufacturing process defect to me that would lead to eventual lack of structural integrity.
I feel this is not an isolated case and can lead to catastrophic failure of the alloy wheels on toyota trucks causing serious injury and possible death to driver and/or passengers. Alloy wheels are corroding with only 40,000 miles and toyota won't even call me back. Service manager at northshore toyota in louisiana said it was due to extreme use. This was after a 30 second inspection. When I asked to speak with a factory rep. I was told that would not happen. Since then I have been given the run around by toyota. I have owned and recommended toyota's since 1974 and will now seriously reconsider my position.
My husband and I purchased a 2006 toyota tundra access cab on 11/25/06 at toyota of fort worth texas . Less than 6 days later, we were driving home on a street that leads to our house,less than a mile, we have been traveling this road for at least 15 years. It was slightly raining, we approached the curve to the left on this road. Made the curve and all of a sudden the wheels broke loose, my husband tried to correct but the truck began to accelerate, then turned completely sideways and crashed into two trees that were less than 5 feet from the road. It also appears that the 4 wheel anti lock brake system wasn't working.
