2007 Toyota Tundra complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE, WHICH WAS A SAFETY FEATURE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH DETERMINED THAT THE EMISSION CONTROL VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE RECURRED AND THE DEALER STATED THE ENTIRE EMISSIONS SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED WITH THE DEALERS DIAGNOSIS AND STATED THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER GIVEN A REASON WHY THE VEHICLE WOULD RESORT TO A LIMP MODE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

B.F. GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL T/A TIRES STARTED CRACKING IN THE TREAD CROWN AT 13,000 MILES ON ALL FOUR TIRES WITH 9/32" OF TREAD LEFT. THE CRACKS RUN LONGITUDINALLY ALONG THE TREAD ON BOTH THE OUTER AND INNER SIDE OF THE TREAD. I HAVE INSPECTED OTHER TOYOTA TUNDRAS WITH THE SAME TIRES THAT ARE ALSO CRACKING. NOW AT 16,000 MILES THE TIRES ARE MAKING A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE AND THE CRACKS ARE GROWING LARGER AND LONGER. BOTH MICHELIN AND TOYOTA WERE NOTIFIED AND BOTH REFUSED TO TAKE APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION. *TR

TOY. 2007 5.7 CREW-MAX 4+4 P2440 CODE CAME ON AND TRUCK WENT INTO SAFETY MODE .GREATLY REDUCED SPEED . 4 LO LT. COMES ON AS WELL AS ENGINE,TRACTION AND ANTI SLIP LTS. I CARRY A HAND-HELD CODE DETECTOR AND CLEAR THE CODE AS SOON AS IT COMES UP AND CONTINUOUSLY CLEAR IT AS I'M DRIVING. TOYOTA WANTED 3400.00 TO FIX THIS DEFECT AFTER I BOUGHT 3 NEW TUNDRAS FROM THEM EVERY 3 YEARS. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR 13 MO. 8 MO. INTO IT MY TRUCK STARTED DYING AND WOULD NOT START FOR SEVERAL MIN.WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND WAS STRANDED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD MORE THAN ONCE. THIS WENT ON FOR 1 WEEK 2 DIFFERENT TIMES THAN IT STARTED RUNNING AGAIN WITH JUST THE P2440 CODE COMING UP ALL THE TIME AND SHUTTING ME DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING MY BROTHER IN LAW WHO ALSO HAD A 2007 TUNDRA EX. CAB. THEY FIXED HIS BECAUSE HE WAS ONLY 1500 MILE OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN MY TROUBLE STARTED I WAS AT 70,000+ MI. DEFECT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AMT. OF MILES,JUST TIME(AFTER 3 YRS.)AFTER 13 MO. STILL NO HELP FROM TOYOTA AND NO RECALL. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVE YOLK WENT OUT AND BLEW THE REAR TRANSMISSION SEAL. COULD HAVE DROPPED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY. OVER 2000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO THE TEE, ALL MAINTENANCE DONE ON THE DOT! VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THE TRUCK IS WITH HIGH MILEAGE, 90,000. HOWEVER, WE WERE TOLD AT TIME SALE IT HAD A 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IN WHICH THERE WAS NO WORRY THERE BECAUSE IF MAINTAINED IT WOULD LAST FOR 300,000 PLUS MILES.NOW WE ARE TOLD THAT IS NOT SO IT WAS NOT 100,000 MILES, IT WAS ONLY 60,000. THE TRUCK WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED, ALL HIGHWAY MILES, DRIVE 50 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK EVERYDAY ON INTERSTATE, NEVER TAKEN OFF ROAD, NEVER PULL ANYTHING. WELL SO MUCH FOR HONESTY, BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TO BAD, SO SAD. I SEE TOYOTA IS RECALLING ALL THE 2011 MODELS FOR DRIVE YOLK FAILURE, AND I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS PLACES ONLINE ON THE 2007 TUNDRA?S DRIVE SHAFT/YOLK. THEY DID RECALL THE DRIVESHAFTS FOR THE 4X4 TUNDRAS IN 2007, BUT NOT THE 4 X 2?S. CAN?T THEY SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE ALSO? THE TRUCK ALWAYS FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BUMPING YOU WHEN YOU STOPPED. WE WERE JUST TOLD IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE TUNDRA. SO WATCH OUT FOLKS WITH LOWER MILEAGE. I BOUGHT A TOYOTA WHEN I WAS GOING TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH A LONGER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY BUT THE TOYOTA SALESMAN TALKED US OUT OF IT WITH HIS 100,000 MILE (LIE) POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND HIS 300,000 MILE COMMENTS. WELL, WHAT DO I DO NOW? THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY WILL

TOYOTA'S SECOND DIAGNOSIS WAS THEY FOUND BOTH AIR INJECTION PUMPS WERE CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $2100.00. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THE DEALER CALLED TOYOTA AND SAID THEY WOULD PAY $600.00 BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REST. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT TOYOTA HAS ALL BUT ADMITTED TO BUT WON'T REALLY DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. THEY SHOULD BE HELP RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WHOLE AMOUNT. I WAS TOLD THEY WON'T BECAUSE MY TRUCK HAS 110,00 MILES ON IT. MILEAGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE ITS A DESIGN ISSUE. *LN

PURCHASED 07 TUNDRA IN AUG 2010 AND BY DEC 2010 WE HAD ISSUES WITH 4WD GAUGES BLINKING/DINGING AND LOSS OF POWER/ACCELERATION. FOLLOWED THE MANUAL AND NO FIX. PROBLEM EVENTUALLY QUIT AFTER ABOUT 3 DAYS. PROBLEM RESUMED ON 2/14/11 AND TOOK TO AUTO SHOP TO HAVE DIAGNOSED.

ABS, TRAC AND 4HI WARNING LIGHTS ALL ON WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE ABS AND TRAC CONTROL ALL CEASED TO FUNCTION. WAS DRIVING IN SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE, 4HI WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THIS IS 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. MOSTLY OCCURS DURING COLD WEATHER BUT NOT ALWAYS. HAVE TAKEN TRUCK TO DEALER AFTER THESE OCCURRENCES AND 2 OF THE TIMES THE DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION. WHEN TRUCK IS IN STATE OF FLASHING LIGHTS, THE TRUCK ALWAYS RETURNS TO NORMAL WHEN YOU TURN OFF VEHICLE, WAIT AND THEN RESTART IT. DEALER HAS REPLACED PARTS NOW 4 TIMES AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM

THE CONTAC STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THE SAME FAILURE AND THE DEALER PERFORMED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND ROTATED ALL FOUR TIRES.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,150.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WHEN HE RELEASED PRESSURE FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE WHETHER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR OR NOT DURING THE FAILURE.

I BOUGHT MY 2007 TUNDRA 6/30/2007 RAN GREAT UNTIL AROUND 18,500 MI. AT THAT TIME THE TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A BANGING NOISE WHICH IT FELT LIKE THE 05 4 RUNNER. THE 4 RUNNER STILL DOES IT BUT IT RUNS AND DRIVES FINE. THE TUNDRA IS GETTING REALLY BAD AS IT IS GRINDING AND BANGING. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH TOYOTA FROM MY AREA AND THEY KEEP SAYING I HAVE TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS AND THEY USUALLY CALL AND CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT. I CONTACTED DIFFERENT CORPORATE EXC'S AND ONE FROM CALIFORNIA CALLED AND MADE AN APP. AND I WAS THERE FOR IT. I WAITED FOR 1 1/2 HOURS AND THE REP DIDN'T SHOW. I AM NOW GOING TO SEND MR.AKIO TOYODA, PRESIDENT OF TOYOTA A CERTIFIED LETTER.

I THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT INTERFERING AND THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE. STRANDED ALONG THE HIGHWAY I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CAUTIOUSLY RESTART THE VEHICLE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE RESULTED IN THE THROTTLE RETURNING TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. THIS HAPPENED SATURDAY AFTERNOON. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING TIRE TREAD WEAR ON VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER, THE PROBLEM WAS A TIRE ISSUE, NOT AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE REPLACED THE TIRES. (BRIDGESTONE DUELER) *JB

IT BANGS ON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERS SHOP AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T FIX IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED TOYOTA RECALL NOTICE 09V388000 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN MARCH 2010. HE HAD SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES HOWEVER HIS VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED, BECAUSE OF OTHER CUSTOMERS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED HIS FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. A PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK AND HEAD. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR FRONT-END DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED HE HAD ENCOUNTERED THE FAILURE AT LEAST SIX TIMES PRIOR TO THE CRASH AND REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL) YET THE FAILURE PERSISTED FOLLOWING REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED ON A CURVY ROAD, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK IN THE OPEN THROTTLE POSITION. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD DECREASE IN SPEED MOMENTARILY BEFORE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATING AGAIN. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL. THE VEHICLE BOUNCED OFF THE GUARD RAIL AND THE CONTACT FELT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASE.

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS AIR INJECTION FAILURE WHICH PUTS THE TRUCK IN "LIMP" MODE OR NO POWER. I WAS ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AND COULD NOT GET MY TRUCK ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID A MAJOR CRASH. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CHARGES $4000 FOR THE REPAIR. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 6 WEEKS. THIS IS DUE TO IMPART TO A NATIONAL RECALL. THIS SEEMS IN MY OPINION AS A WAY FOR TOYOTA TO PROFIT FROM A FAULTY DESIGN AND A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING CONDITION. *TR

AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE CAUSES A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO APPEAR AND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "CRIPPLE" MODE LIMITING THROTTLE AND SPEED TO 40 MPH WHICH COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IN SOME DRIVING CONDITIONS. DEALER STATED THEY CURRENTLY HAVE TWO OTHER TUNDRAS THERE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THEY.ARE "REPLACING THE AIR INJECTION PUMPS AND VALVES FOR A TOTAL COST OF ~$4000 IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE THIS IS ALL AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM DUE TO IT PREVENTS ACCELERATION AND YOU HAVE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING OR IN A FLOW OF TRAFFIC.. *TR

2007 TUNDRA HAD A HISTORY OF LOOSING POWER, TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND AIR INJECTION PUMP AND VALVE SET WERE RUSTED AND FULL OF WATER. AT A COST OF $2000.00, AND THIS IS FOR ONE SIDE ONLY, THE OTHER SIDE CAN GO AT ANY TIME. I UNDERSTAND THESE ARE NOT UPDATED PARTS AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. ALL OUT OF MY POCKET. BESIDES BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, THIS A COSTLY REPAIR FOR WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUE!!!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON, THE RPMS WOULD SUDDENLY INCREASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP BUT THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 500.

TOYOTA TUNDRA 2007 LOSS POWER .DEALER WAS TESTING AIR PUMP ASSY FOR BANK2 AND EMISSION CONTROL VALVE FOR BOTH BANKS NEED TO BE REPLACE .IT WILL COST $ 3000. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER STATES CRUISE CONTROL DOES ENGAGE AND THEN WILL NOT DISENGAGE BRAKES. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES WOULD NOT HOLD AT STOP SIGNS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE HAD ELECTRICAL SHORTS IN THE WIRING SUCH AS; THE HEADLIGHTS, CLOCK, CIGARETTE LIGHTER, ALARM AND DOOR LOCKS. THE SEAT BELTS WOULD NOT ALWAYS LATCH. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE, THERE WAS A SEVERE SHAKE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE, THE STEERING WOULD ACT ERRATIC AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHILE BACKING OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY.. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. HE STATED THAT ON MAY 5, 2010, WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND HE HAD TO SWERVE TO PREVENT CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000.

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCKS WINDSHIELD CRACKING MORE THAN SEEMS NORMAL. SIXTY THOUSAND MILES AND SEVEN TIMES THE WINDSHIELD HAS CHIPPED AND NOW OVERNIGHT ONE HAS RUN ABOUT TWELVE INCHES LONG. OTHER CHIPS I HAD FIXED BEFORE RUNNING,IS THINNER GLASS THE PROBLEM?*TR

AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE CAUSES A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO APPEAR AND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "CRIPPLE" MODE LIMITING THROTTLE AND SPEED TO 40 MPH WHICH COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IN SOME DRIVING CONDITIONS. DEALER STATED THEY ARE "FIXING" ~2 VEHICLES A DAY AND REPLACING THE AIR INJECTION PUMPS AND VALVES FOR A TOTAL COST OF ~$4000 IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. IN MY CASE, THE DEALER REPLACED ONE PUMP A WEEK AGO AND NOW THE SECOND PUMP HAS FAILED ($1100 FOR EACH PUMP). THERE HAS NOT A DESIGN CHANGE TO THE PUMPS OR VALVES IN THE SYSTEM WITH THE REPLACEMENT PARTS SO THE FAILURE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IN ANOTHER 30-50K MILES. DEALER CLAIMS MOISTURE IN THE SYSTEM IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE PROBLEM SHOWS THE PROBLEM IS SYSTEMIC WITH 2007+ TUNDRAS AND SEQUOIAS WITH THE 5.7L V8. OTHER MANUFACTURES USE AN AIR INJECTION SYSTEM WITH A MUCH LOWER COST AND THERE DOES NOT SEAM TO BE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM. *TR

VEHICLE LOSS OF POWER, UNABLE TO PULL OUT SAFELY IN TRAFFIC. *TR

MY WIFE CAME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE BRINGING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL A FEW WEEKS AGO. SHE WAS LEAVING A STOP SIGN GETTING ONTO A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN OUR 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA UNEXPECTEDLY HAD DRASTICALLY REDUCED POWER. AFTER A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THE REDUCTION IN POWER WAS CAUSED BY A FAILURE IN THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY DURING COLD STARTS. WHEN THERE IS A FAILURE IN THIS SYSTEM THE ECM (ONBOARD COMPUTER) GOES INTO A MODE IN WHICH THE AVAILABLE POWER FROM THE ENGINE IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. TOYOTA HAS RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE TWO AIR INJECTION PUMPS AND A SWITCHING VALVE SET AT AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $3500. I AM RESEARCHING OTHER OPTIONS BECAUSE THEY TELL ME THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN CONTINUE TO REOCCUR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. *TR

WATER IN THE AIR INDUCTION PUMPS CAUSING ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AND HAVE NO POWER AT SPEED. ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND TRUCK IS DISABLED OR HOBBLED WITH LOW SPEED ONLY. THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED AS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TUNDRA 2007-2008 OWNERS. *TR

MY TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST ABOUT 80% OF ITS POWER AND WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE. VERY DIFFICULT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. DEALER SAID THIS WAS DUE TO FAILURE OF THE "SECONDARY AIR INTAKE VALVE." THIS APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON IN 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRAS. *TR

APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS AGO I HAD THE ACCELERATOR RECALL REPAIR WORK COMPLETED ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA, AFTER, I NOTICED RANDOMLY WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, INTERSECTION ETC. I WOULD ACCELERATE THE TRUCK WOULD FEEL AS IF SOME ONE PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL, AND THEN HIT THE BRAKE. IT STARTED OUT VERY MILD. AND I THOUGH IT MAY HAVE JUST BEEN ME CAUSING IT. ON 11 MAY 2010 WHILE TAKING MY 4YR OLD TO DAYCARE IT DID IT AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME IT WAS VERY HARD. THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED MY HEAD, AS WELL AS MY SONS TO GO BACK AND HIT OUR HEAD REST. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED THREE TIMES IN A ROW. IT WAS AS IF WE WERE RIDING A BUMPY ROLLER COASTER RIDE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP AND VIBRATE. THE FAILURE WAS BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE WITHIN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BUT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY THE CONTACT WHEN A SOLUTION WAS AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD BEEN SHORTENED AFTER AN AUTHORIZED DEALER REPAIRED IT PER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V388000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE CONTACT WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE REPAIR AND INSTEAD REQUESTED A NEW PEDAL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THERE WAS A NEWLY DESIGNED PEDAL AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER; YET, THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THE PART DID NOT EXIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE NEW PEDAL WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE ONLY REMEDY AT THE TIME WAS TO SHORTEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK SINCE THE PEDAL COULD BECOME STUCK IN THE OPEN THROTTLE POSITION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 31,998. UPDATED 07/21/10. *LJ

I HAVE A 2007 TUNDRA THAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED BY THE DEALER I.E. 3 INCH LIFT THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE ME THE DETAILS OF THE LIFT ON THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REPEATEDLY COMPLAINED. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, SO I MADE A COMPLAINT TO TOYOTA. THE MANAGER OF THE AUTO REPAIR PORTION OF THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO ME THAT WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I THEN DID RESEARCH ON MY OWN AFTER DISCUSSING THE ISSUE WITH THEIR REPAIR SHOP AT STEVENS CREEK TOYOTA. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALARM LIGHT IS COMING ON THE DASH AND STAYS ON. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. I AM UPSET THAT THE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS WAS NORMAL. IT IS NOT, IT ALSO AFFECTS HOW THE TRUCK DRIVES ONCE THE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH. IT AFFECTS THE PEDAL WHICH CAN STICK AND YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE LARGE TIRES ON MY CAR TO GO WITH THE LIFT. I HAVE CHECKED AND THEY APPEAR TO HAVE TPMS VALVES BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO PROVIDE ME PROOF. I AM ENTITLED BY LAW TO KNOW WHAT WAS DONE TO MY TRUCK THAT AFFECTS HOW MY CAR HANDLES ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR WAS MODIFIED BY THE DEALER NOT ME. UPDATED 05/12/10.*JB

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. TOYOTA SAFETY FEATURE MALFUNCTION *GR THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES FAILED, THE RADIO WAS REPLACED TWICE, THE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM WAS INOPERATIVE, AND THE ABS ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONED. WHEN THE CONSUMER WENT TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED, HE INFORMED THE DEALER THE VSC LIGHT WAS ON. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AN APPROXIMATE SPEED OF 21 MPH AND APPROACHING A CURVE, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES TO DECREASE SPEED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ABNORMALLY ACCELERATE, WITH HIS FOOT STILL DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. HE CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT HESITATION IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR BODY DAMAGE TO THE LEFT FRONT END AND WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,129. UPDATED 7/16/10 *CN UPDATED 07/22/10*JB UPDATED 10/25/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE MADE IT PAST TWO CURVES AND THEN CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. UPDATED 10/27/10

LEFT HOME TO GO TO WORK. INTERSTATE IS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE FROM HOUSE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON FREEWAY SEVERAL DASH WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. TRUCK STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE MERGE AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER. TOOK MY TUNDRA TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY EMISSION AIR INDUCTION PUMPS. SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THE MAIN COMPUTER PUT MY TRUCK INTO A "LIMP" MODE THUS PREVENTING ME TO COMPLETE THE ACCELERATION. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE COULDN'T GIVE ME A REASON WHY TOYOTA HAS PROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER TO FAIL INTO LIMP MODE WHEN THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT HURT THE TRUCK DURING NORMAL ACCELERATION. AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB, I DISCOVERED MANY 2007 TO 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. RESTRICTING A VEHICLE TO PERFORM UP TO STANDARDS PUTS THE DRIVER IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE "LIMP" MODE HAS NO GOOD REASON OTHER THAN TO GET THE OWNER INTO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER TOWARDS THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER FOR AN ALIGNMENT. AFTER REPAIRS, THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRES EXHIBITED PREMATURE WEAR. THE DEALER ADVISED THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THE TIRES WERE REPLACED THREE TIMES AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION BUT AGAIN, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED.

TOYOTA TUNDRA 2007 W/ 4WD. VEHICLE WENT FROM NORMAL 2 WHEEL DRIVE INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW WITHOUT WARNING, WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY CONTROLS. COULD NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 30 MPH, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED INTO DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPONENT IN THE ENGINE THAT FAILED. THE WARRANTY INSPECTOR CAME BY TODAY AND THE HISTORY DATA ON THE MEMORY HAD BEEN ERASED AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE. VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SHOP. DEALER STATES IT IS DEFECTIVE BUT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED AIR PUMP IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE ECU.
