We have classified the 3 complaints from 2000 Toyota Tundra about EQUIPMENT into the following categories.
Sunroof originally installed on my 2000 toyota tundra manufactured by hollandia type: tvs nr.: 426089 separated from the vehicle while driving on interstate 80. glass got ripped-off and almost hit cars driving behind me. *tr
2000 toyota tundra frame rust. *tr
Frequent brake replacement and vibration on my 2000 toyota tundra. *tr
Oxygen sensors constantly fail. i have replaced twice and another is currently out. toyota extended the warranty instead of recalling and fixing the problem. the second o2 sensor was out within the extended warranty period but i didn't fix b/c i already had it repaired once. of 3, i was reimbursed for 1.*ak
On an extremely cold morning (-22deg f) i started my 2000 toyota tundra access cab v8 and went to turn on heat. the temperature nob would not turn easily, but did turn, and made a snapping sound. the heat never came, though the fan did work and blew cold air. i have been working overseas and not requiring the use of the vehicle since this incident, and just found the cause of the error. the cables for the heat selector seized and the dash mechanism broke. after reading many other posts on this model, and other toyota models, they need to redesign the cable, the heat valve, the method the cable is secured and ensure that water is not penetrating the cable. the resulting problem is often not corrected properly by the dealers. i expect that this problem will cost at a minimum of $300 for the dash mechanism, $20 for each cable that may need to be replaced plus labor costs, more if it is not corrected properly the first time.
Problems with the brake indicator lamp on the dash turning on when apply brakes. the indicator light becomes active when the weather reaches a temperature of 32 degree or lower. i reported this problem to a toyota dealer when the vehicle was under warranty. toyota found no problem at the time of service. *nlm
