| Toyota of America picked up half of the bill for the new rack, for which my half cost about $578. I then paid for the alignment ($60). Since I am about $3K miles from the drivetrain going out of warranty, I wonder what my next 'fluke' failure will be. Something tells me I should trade this thing in and get rid of it asap. | |

| I have a noise coming from the front drive train of my Tundra truck. The noise sounds like a bad bearing and is associated with the rotation of the drivetrain or wheels. The noise normally only occurs when the temperatures are below 40 degree F and the truck is cold or has set several days. The noise occurs at low speeds up to 40 mph. After the truck is operated for 5 miles it normally stops. If you put it in 4 wheel drive it will stop. I have checked the brakes and they are all in good shape ( except for some rotor warpage),and calipers are free. I have tried placing the truck on jack stands and operated the transmission in drive and reverse both in and out of 4 wheel drive and it makes no noise. If you spin the wheels by hand while on the jack stands, it makes no noise. The universal joints on the drive shafts are all lubricated including the slide portion of the drive shaft and they don't show any signs of wear. I have checked the fluids in the transfer case, differentials, and automatic transmission and all are good. The truck only has 27,000 miles on it. I remember reading about others having the same problem with the same year and model of truck about 6 months ago, but I can't locate the comments to see if they resolved the problem. None of the inquiries had a solution at the time. I have returned the truck to the dealer twice and once they had it for a week. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? | |

Hi all, New to this forum, We just purchased the Tundra double cab 4x4 limited edition 3 months ago. Sweet truck But..... I hate the braking system. If lightly engaged it sounds like a loud windshield washer motor running, if I really have to put pressure on the brakes it sounds like something is falling out from under the truck, really loud banging and grinding noise, (I really thought something was broken) took it back to the dealer when it happened and he told me it was normal. Anyone else have this loud noise? Also today my 6 disc cd player came up with an error 3 code,Anyone know what this means? time for some warranty! thanks Skyline 39

I have a 2000 (bought new) Tundra Limited with a 4.7-liter V8 . The OD shows 38.8K miles. The truck has been flawless except for several O2 sensor replacements & the recall on the hitch wiring harness. I recently experienced problems when starting during cold weather. I had difficulty getting it to start & when it did, the accelerator did not function, only idle speed, plus the Check Engine light would come on. The first time it happened, I was on a trip back to Texas from Colorado several weeks ago. In the morning, the temp was about 10F. After it warmed up at idle, I restarted & the accelerator worked but the Check Engine light remained illuminated. The next time I stopped for gas and restarted, the light was off. Then on 14 Dec., same problem. The service adviser at Toyota of Richardson revealed that the Throttle Body Assy was intermittently inop at startup. Since I needed the truck & couldn't afford to have the throttle fail during driving, I had to get it fixed. The service adviser said a new throttle was necessary (said it couldn't be repaired). The total repair cost was: $1309.87 (throttle body part was $976.38) (Out of Warranty) Anyone else have this problem? Thanks, Tom

I'm having a problem with my 94 Toyota Pickups 3L Engine. In the morning when my engine is cold, it starts with little problem. When Warm, it starts first try if sitting or less than 5 minutes** However, if warm but sitting longer than 5 min. and shorter than 12 or more hours, it consistently takes two tries to start, and sometimes 3 !! even then it kind of stumbles before running smoothly. I have replaced my original fuel pump with a less expensive after market version thinking it was that, as the original pump was failing intermittently. Could it be my throttle positioning sensor? Nobody seems to know what is going on and our local Toyota Dealer/ Service seems happy to take my cash and replace parts without resolving the issue. Note: I have installed a K&N Air Filter and Conversion Kit for the filter. I'm not sure if the problem developed after the fact. but I don't think so. Please help. Thanks, Carl
