What owners wrote

At 25000 miles the check engine light came on in my 2002 toyota tundra. Took it to the dealer for service, was advised that the repair would cost $300 to fix. The problem is emissions related and attributed to a defective part ( fuel filler neck ). There is a toyota TSB out describing this problem.

Reported at 25,000 miles, February 2005

No major events but the paint began falling off my 2002 tundra in 2009. I was just told the top of the gas tank is now rusted out as well. $900 to replace. I have kept this truck up well. Never had a gas tank rust out in any vehicle.
