Approximately 4 years ago, i could not open the tailgate of my toyota tundra. i took it to the dealership and they replaced the clip. two months ago, i had the same problem. i took it to the dealership and they said it would cost $179 to fix it. i asked what was wrong, and was told that it was a plastic clip that keeps breaking. i told them that the truck had been in the garage for the past 2 years because my husband was out of the country. they said that it was just the plastic breaking. i said that it seems to be a design flaw. they didn't agree. so i am now having to pay for it. this clip is only warranteed for 1 year. so that means i will be replacing it again in a year (another $179). that sounds like a design flaw to me. the company sent out a memo about this problem on 2007 models, but not 2006. what can i do? *tr

I noticed power outlets were loose info dealership, panel was loose as well, dealership replaced a pin and fix pwr outlets. this was in feb.. a month later power outlet panel loose again, dealership replaced pin, this has been happening so many times now, this time power outlet panel as fell to the floor board, i can't brake to well or accelerate with a panel by my feet. i have use the power outlet to run a dvd player and cell phone charger, panel has not drop after pulling the charger out, of power outlets.. just when i'm driven down the road it falls, i have had another dealership look at thee problem and was info that thee panel was bad. i took it to another shop other than toyota also got panel is worn and vibrations is making thee panel to fall...so i only know i have a panel laying on my floor board its hard to brake or to accelerate. *tr

This filing is in reference to my 2006 toyota tundra sr5 v8 4.7 ltr 10,000 miles. for the past few weeks of driving the above referenced vehicle i started to notice a knocking metal sound under the center console when accelerating and braking... i took no immediate action as i found it to be a very light sound. after a few more days of driving the knock became more noticeable i was more alarmed, when i got home i got under my truck with a flashlight and started to take a look around, after careful inspection i found that 3 of 4 12mm hex bolts on the automatic transmission mount/ crossmember were missing further more the case was that the rear transmission mount located near the driveshaft were loose enough that could be moved with minimal strength with my hand i was able to recover 1 bolt that fell into the crossmember along with a plastic retainer. i quickly tightened the loose bolts and realigned the mount took the truck out for a quick test drive and the sound stopped totally, the next morning i contacted my local toyota dealer and purchased 2 new hex bolts that came out to $ 3.40. after this u can say that all is now well, i believe this should be looked into as there maybe other similar units out there with the same issue, this could cause major damage to the vehicle and also possible inflict an accident. *nm

Rattling noise (like a loose washer around a bolt) under the firewall. loudest at 1200-1800 rpms. vehicle has been brought to the dealership 15 times before a mechanic actually heard it. mechanic could not find the problem and it is still happening. *tr

Paint on front bumper came off when washing at carwash. a friend has a toyota car that had the same thing happen. the dealer will not fix under warranty. this is clearly a defect. they offered to have the local guy fix while he is on the lot. *tr
