NHTSA Complaint #10443939 — 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA

TEMPERATURE IN UTICA, NY ON JAN 15 AT 10 AM WAS -10 DEGREES. A 5 HOUR RIDE BACK HOME IN SNOW, DIRT, AND RAIN I TRIED TO OPERATE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID ON THE HIGHWAY 90 WEST. IT WOULD NOT WORK BECAUSE IT WAS FROZEN. AFTER TRYING A COUPLE TIMES MORE, THE VISIBILITY GOT WORSE WITH TEMPERATURES AT 5 DEGREES. HAD TO PULL OVER TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD MANY TIMES UNTIL ARRIVING TO 23 DEGREE WEATHER. IT WORKED WHEN I ARRIVED HOME. I ALSO NOTICES THE EXHAUST PIPE THAT SEEMS TO TOUCH THE EXHAUST PIPE HAS BURNT A HOLE IN THE MUD FLAP. THIS HAD HAPPENED SOMETIME BETWEEN MY TRIP TO UTICA ON JAN 14-15. THERE HAS BEEN NO ADD-ON MOD TO THE EXHAUST PIPE AND THE MUD-FLAP BUT ARE NOW STICKING TOGETHER. IS THIS A FIRE HAZARD? *TR
