MY FOLKS HAPPEN TO OWN A 2000 TOYOTA TACOMA PICKUP, 4-CYL WITH/AUTO TRANSMISSION SINCE IT WAS NEW. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS IN USE AND THE DRIVER APPLIES THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH FORWARD. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH FORWARD WHEN THE FAN IS TURNED-ON, WITH THE AIR-CONDITIONER SWITCH ALREADY ON WHICH ACTIVATES THE AIR-CONDITIONER IMMEDIATELY. I ASSUME THIS CONDITIONS EXITS TO COMPENSATE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER LOAD ON THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, I'VE DRIVEN MANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT FUNCTION JUST FINE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ACTIVATED WITHOUT HAVING TO LURCH THE VEHICLE FORWARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. THE PROBLEM HAS SEVERAL TIMES NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH…

I OWNED A 2000 TUNDRA WITH A RUSTED FRAME. I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA BODY SHOP AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS DANGEROUS AND NOT REPAIRABLE. I PROCEEDED TO ANOTHER DEALER, TRADED IT IN ON A 2008 TUNDRA BECAUSE OF THE ADVICE FROM THE TOYOTA BODY SHOP. IN ADDITION, I HAVE RETAINED ALL OF MY RECORDS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. *TR

AFTER WATCHING A NEWS REPORT CONCERNING THE 2000 TUNDRA FRAME ROT WE INSPECTED OUR VEHICLE AN FOUND THAT THE FRAME AND SPRINGS HAD EXCESSIVE RUST AND CORROSION AS WELL AS ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. WE ALSO REACHED BEHIND THE FRAME THAT WE COULD NOT SEE AND MAJOR RUST FLAKES WERE COMING OFF AS WE PUT PRESSURE ON THEM. WE ALSO HAVE VIBRATION ON THE STEERING WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH. THE TRUCK ALSO TENDS TO LURCH AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN IN AN IDLE POSITION WHEN YOU PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO DRIVE. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO NEW BREAK JOBS IN 2 YEARS. *TR
- Tires
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH, THE TREAD ON ONE OF MY FUTURA LTE 2000 P215/65R15 CAME COMPLETELY OFF. BEFORE AND DURING LONG TRIPS (LIKE THIS ONE), I CHECK AND VERIFY THAT THE AIR PRESSURE OF THE TIRES IS 35 PSI AND ALL TIRES WERE HOLDING THEIR PRESSURE JUST FINE (I.E. NO LEAKS). I HAD LAST CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE THE PREVIOUS EVENING. *TR

THE REAR CENTER BUMPER OF MY 2000 TOYOTA FORRUNER SR5 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS RUSTING. I NOTICED ON MANY OTHER 2000 FORRUNERS THAT THERE IS ALSO A RUST PROBLEM , AGAIN ONLY ON THE CENTER BUMPER. BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES I OBSERVED RUSTING IN THE SAME LOCATION IT APPEARS TO BE A PRODUCT DEFECT AND FAILURE. I WROTE TO TOYOTA AND CALLED THEM, THEY SAID TO BRING IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OUT OF WARRENTY, BUT MAYBE THEY WOULD CHIP IN HALF FOR THE REPAIR. THEY COMPLETELY WASTED MY TIME, AS AFTER I WASTED A HALF DAY BRINGING IT OVER, THEY ACKNOWLEGED THE RUST WASNT FROM DAMAGE, BUT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING AS IT WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. I TOLD THEM THEN WHY WAS I…

2000 TUNDRA WITH 60,900 MILES ON IT. (RIGHT - 900 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY.) OVERDRIVE STARTED MAKING NOISE WHEN ENGAGING AND WHINE WHILE DRIVING. OUT OF OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION SOUND FINE. BROUGHT TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY HAD DISTRICT REP DRIVE IT. DETERMINED THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER ANY OF IT. CALLED THE MANUFACTURE AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WILL GET ME IN CONTACT WITH THE DISTRICT MANAGER WHO MADE DECISION. *NM

A LIGHT IMPACT ON THE CENTER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WHILE TURNING LEFT HAS CAUSED THE MAIN STEERING FRAME TO BEND DOWNWARD RESULTING IN THE WHOLE FRAME HAVING TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2000 TOYOTA TRD. NO DAMAGE TO WHEEL OR PASSENGER.
