4.0 - Known problems
Every manufacturer wishes they could build a perfect car, but many can't. The
Tundra does have some reported "hiccups" that have showed up in some Tundras,
and have not been seen in others. Listed below are some of the more common
"problems" that have been reported by Tundra Owners in various forums.
If you have any major problems with a Tundra, please go through the process of
working with your dealer first.
Here's the recommended escalation steps if your problem can't be resolved:
- Dealer
- Regional Service Administrator
- Arbitration, or Lemon Law
To get familiar with basic lemon laws, please read this set of articles at
Edmunds.com. They can be found at

Please check with your local attorney if you have a serious problem with a
Tundra that renders it unsafe to drive. Your available recourse also differs
from state to state. Also, make sure to document everything ! It is
preferable to write letters than to do phone calls. Letters are traceable and
are considered legal documents in most areas of the United States. If you do
make phone calls, note down day, time, and who you spoke with.
