2014 TOYOTA TUNDRA Structurebody Problems

Not sure how long the paint has been peeling on the truck, but the truck is immaculate except for the peeling paint. The paint was peeling at time of purchase, and we were told by dealer that it was covered as Toyota had issues with their white paint. After purchase, we were told that Toyota wouldn't cover it. The peeling paint is not localized to one spot but peeling on every panel. It is peeling off the top and all sides. The vehicle has always been stored under cover. We have never had a vehicle peel as this and have inquired with a few body shops that relate it to manufacturer defect and that the entire truck will have to be stripped and repainted to correct the problem. There were several models of Toyotas during 2014 that had the white paint related issues that Toyota corrected. Not sure, why the...

I bought my 2014 Toyota Tundra in March 2014, with no chips or peeling paint. Fast-forward a couple of months, the paint around the top side of the windshield is chipping and peeling. Living in a state that gets snow & ice, I am concerned about the potential for rust. Toyota is aware of the issue with their Super White paint with other models (Service Bulletin 23TE08), such as the following: 2008–2009 Lexus GX 470 2008–2017 Toyota Avalon 2008–2017 Toyota Camry 2008–2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid 2008–2017 Toyota RAV4 2009–2018 Toyota Corolla 2010–2015 Toyota 4Runner 2011–2015 Scion xB 2012–2015 Scion iQ It is nonsensical to omit other models using the same Super White paint from this recall.

Found Truck bed floor rust corrosion in the bed of 2014 tundra. Bed has localized corrosion and rust perforation in specific areas on the top side of the bed. Bed assembly does not appear to have been properly sealed using hemming and sealing procedures outlined in CRIB bulletin:163 sealing Hem-flanges and body seams. The truck bed underside is rust free except where the bed sections were welded and sealed together. Truck is garage kept and has been undercoated with fluid film annually since I purchased in 2017. Truck only has 45,800 miles on it. Rust is forming in between the seems and spreading under the bed supports and around the bolts that secure the bed to the truck frame. I am concerned that the bed may become loose and fall off while driving down the highway if not replaced or repaired properly. Toyota had a TSB 0101-12 for older model...

The grill cowling has plastic pins that attach to hood. Grill cowling is the part that sets above actual grill via bolts, and plastic pins. The grill cowling is constantly popping out , plastic pins not holding. Have read on line that others are having this problem. If grill cowling becomes loose while traveling, and breaks or snaps off it will be airborne could cause vehicle crashes. Has not been inspected by manufacture, police, insurance reps or others. Is available for inspection.

In the course of cleaning my vehicle, I noticed corrosion on edge of door sill (emanating from under inside rubber door seal) of my 2014 Toyota Tundra on June 13, 2021. After removing the plastic scuff plate and rubber door seal, it was apparent that openings from the underside of the vehicle into the cabin are present from the design/manufacturing process - these opening are not sealed. The openings are not a result of corrosion but rather are associated with the geometry of the floor pan at the floor pan to rocker pinch weld - it is not a sealed surface. After removing the rubber seal I was able to look downward into the openings and see daylight from the underside of the cabin. Electrical cabling is immediately adjacent to these openings beneath the plastic scuff plate. It was apparent that the openings permit water and salt infiltration into the...

TOYOTA - DEFECTIVE PLASTIC MATERIALS USED: THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL WELL MELTED FROM THE SUN WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. TOYOTA FAILED TO USE QUALITY PLASTIC MATERIAL WITHOUT UV PROTECTION AND A HIGHER ENOUGH MELTING THRESHOLD, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL FLAIR MELTING FROM HEAT OF SUN. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE, SHOULD SUN HEAT MELT A CAR PART WHICH SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND SUN HEAT OUTSIDE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THIS MATTER. I INFORMED TOYOTA NA THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL FLAIR MELTED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE COMPANY OFFERED TO PAY $200 FOR AN $850 REPAIR. I REQUEST FULL REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF MY TOYOTA TUNDRA 2014, PLUS DAMAGES OF $2,400 DUE TO THE TIME FROM WORK THAT WAS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA NA.

WHEN I PURCHASED MY TRUCK NEW AND WAS ON MY WAY HOME I NOTICED A VERY SMALL DENT ON THE TOP SIDE OF MY BED. I DECIDED NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT AS IT WAS BARELY VISIBLE NOR DID I WANT SOMEBODY TO DO BODYWORK TO FIX IT. LONGEVITY ISSUES WITH AFTER THE FACT BODY AND PAINT WORK. UNFORTUNATELY AS TIME WENT ON AND I WAS USING MY TRUCK IT STARTED DEVELOPING MORE DENTS ON THE TOP SIDE OF MY BED. I NOW HAVE 5 OR MORE ON EACH SIDE. I HAVE NEVER HIT THE SIDE OF MY BED WITH ANYTHING. BESIDES, ALL THE DENTS ARE THE SAME IN APPEARANCE. TOYOTA SAYS ITS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS AS IT APPEARS TO BE OF AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE. I HAVE SEEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MINE. JUST NOT AS BAD. THE TRUCK IS SUPPOSED TO HANDLE 1300 TO 1800...
