2000 Toyota Tundra SR5 Access Cab review from North America
"Reliability of this vehicle is terrible."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 21,000 miles, the power steering pump went out, but was covered by warranty.
At 37,000 miles, I noticed that both plastic rear window locks were broken. One snapped off and the other side was cracked. Both were seldom used.
At 41,000 miles, the Bank 1, Sensor #1 O2 sensor went out. Exactly three weeks later, the Bank 2, Sensor #1, O2 sensor went out. That's two out of four sensors in three weeks.
General comments?
I bought a Toyota for it's reputation of quality and reliability. Never again. Toyota Customer Service says the O2 sensor issue is not a recall issue and will do nothing to help although the problem keeps popping up on owner forums. Each sensor repair is a $333.00 fix by Toyota.
