What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated the 2000 toyota tundra that was bought new had a tire problem. While driving on the highway the rear differential locked, the contact lost control, and the vehicle caught on fire. There were five people in the vehicle and all occupants were injured. The dealer inspected the vehicle, and determined the failure was due to a lack of oil in the vehicle.
The steel fitting in the radiators to transmission cooler rusted off, dumping antifreeze and transmission fluid on the road, in doing so antifreeze got into the transmission and transmission fluid got into the engine. Cost of repairs $1150. Next the rear axle housing rusted a hole in. Cost of repairs $1900. Next front exhaust pipes with converters are rusted out a leaking exhaust.toyota has a recall for rust on this truck but doesn't cover these problems that are dangerous
