Engine and Engine Cooling · reported Feb 3, 2010
My folks happen to own a 2000 toyota tacoma pickup, 4-cyl with/auto transmission since it was new. When the air conditioner is in use and the driver applies the brake, the vehicle will lurch forward. Also, the vehicle will lurch forward when the fan is turned-on, with the air-conditioner switch already on which activates the air-conditioner immediately. I assume this conditions exits to compensate for the air conditioner load on the engine. However, I've driven many other vehicles that function just fine when the air conditioner is activated without having to lurch the vehicle forward…

I owned a 2000 tundra with a rusted frame. I took it to a toyota body shop and I was told it was dangerous and not repairable. I proceeded to another dealer, traded it in on a 2008 tundra because of the advice from the toyota body shop. In addition, I have retained all of my records from the date of purchase.
Structure · reported Apr 27, 2009
After watching a news report concerning the 2000 tundra frame rot we inspected our vehicle an found that the frame and springs had excessive rust and corrosion as well as on the drive shaft. We also reached behind the frame that we could not see and major rust flakes were coming off as we put pressure on them. We also have vibration on the steering when traveling between 60 and 70 MPH. The truck also tends to lurch after you have been in an idle position when you put the gear shift into drive. We have gone through two new break jobs in 2 years.
Tires · reported Jul 16, 2008
While driving down the highway at 65-70 MPH, the tread on one of my futura lte 2000 p215/65r15 came completely off. Before and during long trips (Like this one), I check and verify that the air pressure of the tires is 35 PSI and all tires were holding their pressure just fine (I.e. No leaks). I had last checked the tire pressure the previous evening.
Power Train · at 60,000 miles · reported Sep 7, 2005
2000 tundra with 60,900 miles on it. (Right - 900 miles out of warranty.) overdrive started making noise when engaging and whine while driving. Out of overdrive transmission sound fine. Brought to dealer immediately and they had district rep drive it. Determined that the whole transmission needs to be replaced, but they will not cover any of it. Called the manufacture and they will not do anything for me. Neither the dealer nor manufacturer will get me in contact with the district manager who made decision.
