I bought this truck new. It has 70,000 miles. The bed and bumpers have extensive rust holes, completely through. Last year, the gas tank fell out while driving due to rusted through fuel tank straps. Now, the rear axle has started leaking due to a rusted out rear axle housing.I am a 64 yr old vet and afraid to drive the truck. If I fill up the rear axle it will get on the road and tires I have called and emailed toyota and they told me to fix it at my expense.

Driveshaft broke at the rear yoke. Metalergical failure. Toyota has had many safety recalls for driveshaft failures, as of 12/27/2018 they have not had a recall on 2010 tundras. Toyota clearly has an issue with their manufacture of driveshafts. Never in my 43 years of driving have I ever had a driveshaft break. My wife was driving the truck when she noticed s serious vibration and pulled the truck to the side of the road on an off ramp to s highway. The driveshaft had broken and the truck had to be towed. I contacted toyota and they said my truck had no recall on the driveshaft despite all of their previous recalls for driveshaft problems

Engine leaking oil while running at the cam towers on both sides causes oil to drip onto engine exhaust header. This unsafe condition could cause a fire. This condition happens to all 4.6 and 5.7 tundra and sequoia engines produced after 2007. This is an extremely expensive to repair. The manufacture made these engines with inferior sealant at the cam towers.

My tundra has 48048 miles on it. I took my tundra in for an oil change and was told there was a oil leak in the cam tower. The cost to fix it was $2850. It was no longer under warranty. I did a little searching and found that this is a problem that has occurred frequently in this engine. I contacted toyota and was told, after they consulted with the dealer, that the problem wasn't a defect, but caused by engine wear and altitude. They offered to pay for parts, which were $420. If it is really engine wear, I expect this to happen again. In talking to the dealer, I was told this is a one time fix, and it should not happen again. Something isn't right here. Either it is a defect in the engine and this repair will fix it. Or it is normal wear and this will keep happening. I feel this is a problem that toyota should fix, since it seems to be happening frequently. Many people reported it happening while it was under warranty. Mine just happened to have occurred after the warranty expired. Either way, it is not acceptable to have this happening in this engine with low mileage. Apparently the oil leaks down from the engine onto the exhaust part of the vehicle and can cause fires. It also can leak out and cause engine damage if the oil gets too low. I hope you can help me.

When at a dead stop, sometimes the truck will lurch forward slightly as if hit from behind. It is very scary as I let both of my children borrow the vehicle at times. I have called the dealer and they say there is nothing on record of this type complaint. Has been happening for years but I finally found this sight to register my complaint.

Service bulletin tsb-0148-11 - drive shaft thumps when leaving a full stop- feels as though you were hit from behind. Was told it is not a warranty issue but it's a defect that should be fixed!. Paid good $$$$$ for truck and issues like this will make me think about the next vehicle I buy.
