2014 Toyota TUNDRA problems and owner complaints

I PURCHASED A 2014 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN NOVEMBER 2013. IN MARCH 2014, WITH 2,248 MILES ON THE TRUCK, I WENT TO LEAVE WORK AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT RODENTS HAD CHEWED THROUGH TWO WIRING HARNESSES (E.G., #7 COIL, TEMP SENSOR AND THE ACTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER), ONE OF WHICH WAS THE MAIN WIRE HARNESS. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN OPERATION (WITH MOSTLY CHEWED THROUGH WIRING) THE WIRING COULD HAVE BECOME LOOSE AND THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE LOST STEERING, BRAKES, O…

THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AS OF YET BUT COULD TURN INTO ONE. I BOUGHT A NEW TUNDRA 2014 IN JAN. 2014 FROM COMMUNITY TOYOTA IN BAYTOWN, TEXAS. THE VERY FIRST TIME I GET IN THE TRUCK TO COME HOME THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD FOR ME. THE SALESMAN GOT THE SERVICE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT IT AND HE FOOLED WITH IT TILL IT STARTED TO MOVE. AFTER BRINGING THE TRUCK HOME I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE SEAT TO MOVE AGAIN. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THAT IT LOOKED NORMAL TO HIM. THE SERVICE MANAGER…

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL) WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THROTTLE CONTROL CHANGED. THE TRUCK WOULD RANDOMLY THROTTLE WITHOUT PUSHING ON THE PEDAL. ADDITIONALLY, IF I PUT THE PEDAL DOWN THE TRUCK COULDN'T GET BEYOND 60MPH GOING UP A HILL. HOWEVER, GOING DOWN HILLS THE TRUCK WAS THROTTLING ON ITS OWN AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO ATTAIN A SPEED OF 70MPH EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T ON OR EVEN FUNCTIONING (AT THIS POINT I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY). IF I BRAKED THE THROTTLING WOULD STOP; HOWEVER, WHEN RELEASING T…

I WAS CARRYING AN OLD BATTERY ON THE TRUCK BED AND THE BATTERY LEAKS SO THE FLUID SPILLED OVER MY FUEL TANK AND BURN/CORRODE THE VACUUM AND GAS LINES. I THINK THE FUEL TANK SHOULD BE PROTECTED WITH AN UPPER SKILL PLATE BECAUSE IS A TRUCK AND YOU ALWAYS CARRY DIFFERENT THINGS AND THIS IS KIND OF EXPOSE OR DRAIN HOLES OF THE BED ARE NOT LOCATED PROPERLY, SO THEY WANNA CHARGE ME 2K DLS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A BAD DESIGN PROBLEM.

GOT A PRETTY MAJOR FUEL LEAK LEAKING OUT OF LEFT SIDE BEHIND DRIVERS DOOR COMING OUT OF THE FRAME RAIL. HAS AROUND 120,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT'S THE FUEL PUMP COMPUTER, NO WARRANTY OR TSB. SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE WARRANTABLE BECAUSE IT'S SAFETY RELATED. TRUCK COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE IF SOMEBODY FLIPPED A CIGARETTE UNDER IT IN TRAFFIC. IT'S A STEADY DRIP ABOUT ONE DRIP PER SECOND WHILE THE TRUCK IS RUNNING. AFTER YOU SHUT IT OFF, THE LEAK STOPS AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES AS IT DEPRESSURIZES. *TR

THE ABOVE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 07/06/2014 AT ABOUT 2100 HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME, WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY FIVE MILES AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AND ON 07/07/2014 RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A POOL OF FLUID UNDER THE PARKED VEHICLE.

First the break keeps broken. I was told the master cylinder for the break needs to be replaced. This is after I spend thousands to work on breaks at dealer. Second, the window does not close. I thought it might be caused by a broken breaker BUT, none of the breaker is bad. Thirdly, the most frustrated thing is the transmission fails to work. The truck is dead on the street. I sent the truck to dealer to replace the transmission to a new one. After it is done. I drove it on the street and just a few days later, the transmission is failed agai…
