| Description of the problem | We bought this vehicle used in february, 2012 with 33,000 miles on it. A bulletin came out in june, 2010 (#t-sb-0151-10) about rear wheel bearings going on 2007-2010 toyota tundra and the replacement kit. We were not told about this when bought from dealership. We now have 92,000 miles on it and howling has started in the back end and dealership said it is the wheel bearings--known issue but still have to pay over $1600 to get them replaced. Toyota customer service no help at all saying out of warranty at 36,000 miles/3 years even though they know the wheel bears were junk and they upgraded the bearing kit way back in 2010. Wheel bearings are a safety issue the wheel can come off if not replaced. No help from toyota company or dealership. Called toyota and case #161110029. |
