Frame mount for gas tank has rusted and fuel tank is dropping down. Last year an undercoating was applied by a toyota dealer and is peeling off in certain areas. I believe pursuant to the class action lawsuit referred to as brian warner et al toyota motor corporation my vehicle may be covered under warranty because the gas tank strap mounting is part of the frame. As of now, my mechanic advised me not to drive it as…

On december 3, 2011 i was driving with my family on a paved local road and the front driver's side of the truck just dropped several inches after a loud snap sound. Initially i thought the front wheel had come of the truck somehow because it was a fairly violent drop. I pulled over and inspected the wheel, everything looked to be in tact. Next i got on the ground and noticed right away that the front strut had…

While driving the truck bounces on certain concrete highways between 60 and 70 mph. You can't even talk because of it. I am not exaggerating at all, i had a headache because of all the bouncing around and i am concerned for my children sitting in the back seat where it's most prone. The bounce gets so bad at times it seems the truck could lose control. *tr

I just bought my 2008 tundra and have noticed an incredible bounce while driving on the freeway. This does not seem normal and concerns me. The tires have been rotated and balanced and this doesn't seem to change the bounce effect. After reading online, it appears that toyota is familiar with this problem. I hope they fix it soon. I have taken the cars to two dealerships and they said it was normal. I have own 4…

Anyone familiar with "shaken baby" syndrome will recognize this defect. On certain sections of pavement and at certain speeds, this vehicle sets up a harmonic vibration and shakes so violently that infants are at risk. The events are easily repeated and are known to the manufacturer. *tr

2008 toyota tundra double cab 5.7l v8. Certain areas of freeway in & around riverside, ca have what is know as "washboard", i.e. The surface unulates similar to the surface of a washboard. My tundra shakes violently when going over this. While the washboard effect is noticeable in other vehicles, it is frightening in the tundra. This could be a real safety hazard. *tr

This is of major concern to me and many drivers currently driving 2008 toyota tundras. There is a major defect with the bed and cabin of the truck bouncing uncontrollably when you drive on the freeway, my main concern is this uncontrollable bed and cabin bounce can cause brain damage to a child strapped to a car seat. So far toyota has refused to acknowledge this problem. You can see this on youtube many people have…

2008 toyota tundra double cab 4x4 sr5 w/trd off road this truck is clearly unsafe to drive. When you drive the truck and hit a bump in the road, the truck bed bounces. It will actually affect the steering and ability to control the vehicle. While driving the truck at highway speeds, if you hit a large bump it is exceptionally hard to steer and control. I know truck beds can bounce, but this truck is way more than…

Duped again-had a 2007 tundra crew max, 4x4 limited which was purchased back by toyota under lemon law, due to serious front suspension vibration problems. Toyota assured me that the problems will be fixed in the newer models so i purchased a 2008 model (silly me). Now the 2008 is doing the same thing and has crackling sound from the front suspension and bed hop. *tr
