You are in the Toyota Tundra Forum. Your Host is kcram
just got my truck this week. I am making a punch list of little things for when i go back to dealer next week. wanted to see if any one eles experienced the same things. so when i go back i can be at least some what familiar as to the problem solutions etc.. here is the one i am concerned the most with. When i put the truck in reverse and with light pressure on the brake peddle, the transmission or possibly the brake makes a grinding or rattling noise.

I own a 2001 Tundra and when I have the ac or heater working, I hear a clicking noise coming from the blower motor area like the blades are hitting a little debris as it is spinning. Has anyone experienced this problem? Thanks for your help.

New '06 Tundra with less than 400 miles (this is not a typo only four hundred miles!) is already having transmission problems. It doesn't have reverse and will not go into 3rd gear. The overdrive is engaged. Any like stories?

Replying to: robertheard (Oct 10, 2005 9:02 am) I took my truck to the dealership a month after I posted my original message. They claim the belt was stretched and replaced it. Free of charge, I might add. So far so good. Hope this helps. |

| The new 05 or newer tacoma front suspension knuckles are so close to the tire sidewall it prevents snow chains of any type from being used on the front tires. This was not a limitation on my 95 & 98 tacoma. The distance is appx half inch or less. This is a huge limitation for backcountry off roaders in snow and mud and for hunters. It could be dangerous also if front tire pressure are lower for off roading and the flex of sidewall could cut tire against suspension knuckle. This was a huge oversite by the design team at Toyota. I filed a complaint in Fall 2006 when some local 4X4 shops mentioned the complaint from some new tacoma owners and not sure if they tried to fix it yet. | |
