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.
I have had one oxygen sensor replaced within the past year at an expense of over $400. I now have another oxygen sensor failure and note that many others are experiencing the same manufacturer defect. My truck has only 52,000 miles but it is beyond the extended warranty period granted by toyota. It is obvious that toyota should recall all 2000 tundras and fix them rather than extend a warranty.
