On June 13th. My 2008 Toyota Tundra inexplicably cought on fire. The fire was located on the left side of the dash and the left front door. The truck was running, idle with the air conditioner on the windows were up. I had both of my small dogs inside. I was not in the truck. That day was clear sky and starting to get hot for the dogs. I always leave the truck running with ac on for them. I was busy working on a 2000 hino medium duty truck. My truck was parked next to the hino. I was in the hino. My client alerted me of smoke coming out of my cab. I immediately went to open the door all I saw was smoke and one of my dogs was barking the other I had to go in to find. He was alive but not barking. I removed both dogs the fire had melted my dash on the left side there was not any flames on dash just smoke the only flames where on my jacket that I had left on the floor driver side front. I pulled my jacket out through onto ground. My client than told me to use a fire extinguisher to be safe. I did. Thats it I didnt call fire department. The fire was over but it caused allot of damage. I don't understsnd how this could happen. I first tried to get someone to inspect it before I took to Toyota dealership where I bought truck new. Could not find one in area. I took to dealer about 3 weeks later they could not explain it so they directed me to Toyota headquarters on July 31st. Now Toyota headquarters has not told me what caused this fire I'm assuming they are still investigating it. Can you please come and look at my truck I did take some pictures if you would like. Thank you. The fire happened in South san francisco in a parking lot for a big warehouse. Buisness area not residential.

The bed of my truck is rusting out in the area where the hold-down bolts are. Before long half or more of the bolts will be useless and the bed could come off. Nothing else on the truck body is rusty at all. This is obviously a defect and it negatively effects the safety of my truck. This has been going on for years but I just recently became aware of the full extent of the problem.

The bed of this truck is rusting out especially along the cross frame bars and where the bolts attach the bed to the frame of the truck. As the truck ages the rear of the truck has developed a sway when rounding turns.

So long story short my 2008 double cab 6.5 foot bed was taken back to the dealer for the factory or dealer (in mid 2009) installed plastic bed liner rubbing the paint off in the bed and discoloration of the back bumper or delamination as Toyota called it. Toyota replaced the bumper free of charge due to the corrosion warranty and the dealership not undercoating the back of the bumper, great no problem there. But never in any of the records did the service rep record that the bed could corrode! later to find out when taking the truck to get a spray in liner I dropped it off in August of 2016 later to get a call saying I should take a look at my bed before they did any work to find a hole rotten through the bed an paint that was bubbled, cracked and flacking off. I did some research on line to find a tsb for my exact problem. Its tsb-0101-12, I never got word of this till I dug online to find this! I took the truck to Toyota to be told they could not help me because there was no warranty. So I contacted the North East regional claims manager to be told that since there was no record of this complaint during the warrantee period they could not assist. Would anyone have any advice on where to turn I might trade the truck in to not have to replace the bed

The truck bed floor has rusted at all four hold down bolts and has expanded to other aspects of truck bed floor itself.

Extrem rust under truck

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. After the bed liner was removed, it was discovered that the bed of the vehicle was rusted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but no assistance could be provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,000.

80,300 miles. June 2, 2016 removed my bed liner to clean out from hauling a load of topsoil. Discovered rusting/bubbling on the floor surface. 2007-2011 Toyota Tundra truck bed floor rust tsb issued 110/17/12. My VIN falls into the category but it falls past the 60 month/unlimited miles corrosion warranty. I keep my truck immaculate and very well maintained....hence the bed liner. If I would have treated my truck differently and not protected the bed with the bed liner, I would have discovered the rust sooner and probably been covered. Penalized for taking care of my truck. The local dealer tried very hard to get Toyota to cover the repair but the Toyota reps would only offer $2000 toward a potential $13000 repair. I have been a Toyota customer since 1990 and I am extremely disappointed with Toyota. This issue has absolutely nothing to do with customer neglect...it's neglect by Toyota who will not stand by their product. As far as this being a safety issue, the rust is concentrated where the bed is connected to the frame. If I did not discover this, it could potentially separate from the truck frame while driving/hauling a heavy load and cause serious injury or death. Toyota doesn't care about that apparently.

Significant rust around bed bolts. No other rust on body, or underneath bed, no rust on chassis. No rust anywhere else on truck. Seems to be softball size bubbles in a pattern on bed only. If not fixed afraid bed will come loose while driving over rough terrain or in a minor accident.

The power windows on all 4 doors do not work when the weather goes to just freezing. I do not think there is enough insulation in the doors or water is accumulating inside the motors that run windows. I have only owned this truck since November of 2012 and did not drive it last winter as I work away from home for months at a time. This winter I was home and the power windows do not work when it is cold outside. I have never experienced this with any other vehicle in cold/frozen weather before so, I think there is something wrong. I live in Washington state and it does not get that cold overnight here where I live just down to freezing usually in winter. My wife drives an Acura rl 2006 and has never had this happen to her with her car.

I have an white 08 Tundra cewmax limited. The paint is horrible. It seems like every little light touch of it brings it down to the grey undercoating. For instance, my key fob hit the gate when I was unlocking the tailgate and it chipped it right down to the grey undercoating. The truck is peppered with these probably from road debris. I could understand a little here or there but not this many and having it happen so easily most recently my clearcoat has started to fail and my truck is only 4 years old. It gets washed almost weekly and waxed every month with meguires nxt 2.0. I know every little ding, scratch and dent on the truck and everytime I go to wash it, there are more. The paint/clearcoat is not very protective and has not held up. My other car is 12 years old and gets the same car care treatment as my Tundra and its paint is 100% better than this truck. It is also a Toyota and white.

I have the blue streak color and it has many scratches. The white under coat shows through. Showed to dealer. They saw the scratches and chipping paint but did not acknowledge that there was a problem, and did nothing to rectify. If I buy a Toyota Tundra again, I will get white so that scratches won't show through the paint.

"08 Tundra" while driving at 65 mph the bed bounce on the truck is horrible. While driving you sometimes feel as if you are going to lose control of the truck. Problem persists at 65mph+.

- South El Monte, CA, USA

2008 Toyota Tundra double cab 4X4 SR5 w/trd off road this truck is clearly unsafe to drive. When you drive the truck and hit a bump in the road, the truck bed bounces. It will actually affect the steering and ability to control the vehicle. While driving the truck at highway speeds, if you hit a large bump it is exceptionally hard to steer and control. I know truck beds can bounce, but this truck is way more than the norm!! the bounce has actually led to my 1st Tundra's bed to be out of square 1 1/2. further more, if you measure from the back of the cab to the top of the bed, there was a difference of 1 3/4 inches from the left and right side. Please help! Toyota has recognized the problem of the bed bounce, but refuses to help. This is a problem is serious and needs to be looked into immediately. Please call if you guys have any questions I will be glad to help. Thank you
