Re: toyota tundra brake problem
I have a 2005 Tundra truck with 97,000 miles on it. I just purchased the truck a few weeks ago but have had a problem with the brakes since day 1. The problem is a soft brake pedal that will not hold a firm brake when the brakes are applied. The pedal will "sink" about 2/3 the way to the floorboard and will stop the vehicle but the soft pedal does ... Read More

About that list at the top of the page
Vehicles in recall include: 2009-10 RAV4 2009-10 Corolla 2009-10 Matrix 2005-10 Avalon certain 2007-10 Camrys 2010 Highlander 2007-10 Tundra 2008-10 Sequoia I have a 2010 Highlander and I have not been notified about any recalls. Maybe because it was Made in Japan. I called Toyota and gave them the VIN just to be certain. Anyway, how about cleaning up the list? Accuracy is important. John

Toyota Denied Sudden Acceleration Problem For More Than 5 Years
Up to you to decide, but this pretty much sums it all up...not much more to say: It appears that Toyota has denied its sudden acceleration problem for more than 5 years. Toyota's recall for floor mat problems is not the end of the story and the company needs to do more to protect its customers and the motoring public. In March 2004, the Center For Auto Safety reported about sudden ... Read More

toyota tundra engine oil leak
Hi All. I just noticed an engine oil leak in my 2005 Toyota Tundra ( 2wd, dc, 99k mi ). I have been keeping it very well maintained and have never towed anything with it. The high miles (mostly highway) are due to my long commute to work. I thought, being a toyota, it would be trouble free ( except maitenance ) for at least 200k miles. I've seen similar complaints ...

Where is the TPMS reset switch on a 2005 Tundra?

Re: Is it a good deal? [rlary]
I bought before 5 years a used 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan for $2000, Blue book price was $5000. I got a deal because it had a high mileage (157,000). After 5 years the mileage is over 200000. I had no problems with the engine or the transmission. All of you know that the quality of the F-150 is much better than the Dodge Grand Caravan. Most owners of the new F150 ... Read More

Re: Northeast region incentives? 3000 or 0% any other [dieseldan55]

During the month of June I was able to get a local dealer price to $200 below "cost"; roughly $28,300 for a 5.7L V8, Double Cab w/ a number of options added in; MSRP was about $37,000. - My question now is how strictly dealers hold to limiting ...

Re: 2005 Tundra SR5 -lease buyout info [2005tundra]

Re: 2005 Toyota Tundra Lease Buyout Options [coyne2]
Easiest bet is to find someone to assume your lease. It looks like you're around $350/month which is a decent deal particularly because of the very low miles. The lease can be assumed by someone else very cheaply and then they can decide whether to buy-out or turn it next year. I have assumed a couple leases in the past and it worked out great. www.swapalease.com is the holy grail on ... Read More

Re: Tundra In 2006 International Auto Show [iqbaldhillon2]
Well the Tundra didn´t show up at NAIAS so when will it come? Does anyone think the car might have a version of the NASCAR-engine as an option? I understand you are aware of that Toyota is following the likes of Audi, BMW, Ford by developing engines using compacted graphite iron (CGI) for cylinder blocks. The Japanese vehicle manufacturer has, through its racing arm, developed a new lightweight CGI cylinder block ... Read More

2005 Tundra Transmission Problems
I bought a 2005 Tundra SR5 in April and have about 6,000 miles on it. I have noticed a few strange things happening when I drive it: 1. About a month ago while stopped at a light after driving for only about 4 minutes the truck shuddered as if the truck was braking with anti-lock brakes activated. However, the truck wasn't moving. This has occured only once. 2.Occasionally, when I stop, ... Read More

Does a Frame Replacement on my 2005 Toyato Tundra void my Factory Waranty?
I was involved in an auto accident two weeks ago. I was sitting at a red light and was rear ended. The trailer hitch of my 2005 Toyota Tundra Double Cab took the blunt of the force causing both fram members to bend. The insurance company handeling the situation wanted to straighten the frame. Obviously I was not going for this. I have had negotiations for the last tow weeks and ... Read More

Re: Bought a 2004 Tundra now what????? [mark2550]
Congratulations on your new Tundra! Interesting because your story is similar to mine. I was seriously considering the Nissan Titan -- LOVED IT. The Titan was so much fun to drive and none of the domestics measured up. I looked at every full-size truck as well as Dakota, Tacoma, and Frontier (and I think Frontier is easily the winner of the mid-size trucks). Didn't like the Tundra SR5, but I test ... Read More

End of year deals
Has anyone tried to take advantage of the end of year specials? I've been to 3 dealers in the Atlanta area and one in Macon. It has mostly been a complete farce for two major reasons: you have to practically threaten the salesman with violence before you get something even close to fair for your trade. Dealerships continually use factory rebates to mask other things they stick in the price and ... Read More

Drop in horsepower for '06 Tundra?
I noticed that the Toyota.com website is advertising the 2006 Tundra V8 as 271 hp and 313 ft lbs torque. That is a drop from 2005 which was 282 hp and 325 ft lbs torque. Does anyone know if this is just a misprint or did they do something to detune the engine? If so, what a step in the wrong direction.

Re: Here's what I paid... for 2 trucks. [heypeace]
This message continues the discussion of the pricing of my 2 Tundras from June 26, 2005. It looks like I paid too much, about $24,500 OTD, for the 2002 Tundra V8 SR5 access cab with cloth seats. After discovering this board a couple of months ago, I compare what I paid then to what others have paid now and I think I should have paid only $21,500 or $22,000 at most ... Read More

Vibration at Idle Poll
I am driving 2005 double cab Tundra. There is a continuous humming vibration inside the cab when at idle. It is most noticeable in the steering wheel and the floor when the truck is in gear and even more magnified when the a/c compressor engages. I've had a regional toyota rep check the truck and a report sent into Toyota but nothing will be done until Toyota gets bombarded by complaints. ... Read More

Re: 2005 Tundra Double cab TRD [srpeterson]
It is very hard for me to believe it is the exhaust. I have a 2004 doublecab and have not had a problem with it. If you have 285 50 20 tires then the front tires are rubbing on the upper control arms. Toyota went to 265 50 20 tires for this reason. Just stay on the dealership because the squeeky wheel gets the grease. Good luck.

Re: Engine failure, 2005 Tundra Double Cab [jam123]
Update... My truck is now at the second dealership and has had the engine pulled. The cause of the problems has now been found. Sand in the engine!! The dealership and Gulf States have no idea how sand could have ended up in the engine. The fuel could not have caused the problem, the injectors would have clogged before this much sand could get in. The oil is not to blame, ... Read More
