Horn stopped working on steering wheel. appears to be a common issue with this truck.
Initially driver side lock actuator would not unlock door via remote. this last approximately 10-days. the problem resolved it self. approximately 2-weeks later the front passenger door exhibited the same problem. the passenger door lock actuator problem lasted approximately 7-days. this has been randomly happening over the past 6-8 months. within the past 5-days the drivers door began acting up. this time the lock would unlock using the remote but then would not lock using the remote. i would have to cycle the lock system 4 to 5 times before all four doors would lock using remote. at some times three of the four doors would lock except the drivers door. i then tried to recycle the lock system. at times after recycling the lock system i would still have to lock drivers door manually. i took vehicle to toyota dealer in my hometown, the diagnosis was that both front door lock actuators are bad and i would need to spend $1,200 to fix. i was told the lock actuators are not covered under any manufactures recall. the lock actuator issue has always happened when vehicle is in a parked condition, engine off. it has happened in all kinds of weather.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 toyota tundra. while driving at approximately 60 mph, there were flames coming from the fuel lines, the engine compartment, and under the vehicle near the rear windows. the fire department was able to extinguish the fire. a police report was not filed and there were no injuries reported. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
The body of the truck is designed to allow rodents/mice into the cab where they can chew the wiring which will lead to a variety of problems. the truck currently has about 3300 miles on it. when i contacted the dealer they said yeah all these trucks have this, what has been damaged so we can get it in for repair. i asked if it was covered under warranty and they said no. coating the wiring with a soy (mouse food) based product is insanity unless you're trying to increase your repair business. there are 16 computers in this truck that control everything. when the wiring is damaged because of this design flaw all sorts of malfunctions will occur that include steering, engine quitting, brakes failing, throttle, lights, etc. the dealer is very aware of the problem and specializes in fixing it to the tune of about $200 so far. i haven't had a wiring problem because of mice but others have. this very funny (to the dealer0 problem will eventually kill people if it hasn't already. *tr
The truck horn does not work when pressing on the steering wheel. it will work when the panic button is pressed. i bought the truck from the original owner, a friend of mine, and he believes it never worked. my brother has a similar tundra 2014 model and his horn has started working only intermittingly. i believe this may be a common problem.
