2007 Toyota Tundra complaints

I HAVE RECENTLY HAD 3 DEFECTIVE PIRELLI SCORPION STR TIRES. ALL 3 "BUBBLED" FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. I HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE TIRES REPLACED. THE DEALER IS SENDING THEM BACK TO THE MANUFACTURE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. *TR

THE TOYOTA TUNDRA 2007-2010 CARRY A MAJOR SAFTEY ISSUES ALL OVER THE NET, UNDER ERROR CODE P2415 OR P2440 OR P2441 OR P2442 SERIES OF ERRORS, WHICH PREVENT THE TRUCK FROM ACCELERATING OR STOPPING PROPERLY FOR THAT MATTER.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000- VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL) AND HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. SINCE THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXHIBITING INSTANCES OF INCREASED ENGINE RPMS AND RAPID ACCELERATION EVEN WHEN MINIMAL PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITH ACCELERATION BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED BUT NEITHER WAS WILLING TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,600 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,630.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB SHORT BED TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS A REOCCURING RESONATING BOUNCE WHEN DRIVING ON CONCRETE ROADS BETWEEN 70 AND 80 MPH. THE BOUNCE IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAN BECOME SEVERE. ONLY A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN SPEED WILL STOP THE BOUNCING. SEVERAL ON LINE FORUMS ARE CALLING THIS PROBLEM "BED BOUNCE"

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK. THERE WAS EXCESSIVE FORCE APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE PEDAL RELEASED. THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT WAS REMOVED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND HAD THE GAS PEDAL FIXED LAST WEEK UNDER THE RECALL. SINCE THE REPAIR MY GAS PEDAL IS SUPER SENSITIVE TO PRESSURE. THE FRICTION TO PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN IS CONSIDERABLY LESS AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO LUNGE AS I ACCELERATE UNEVENLY. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE ON A BUMPY ROAD WHEN THE PRESSURE FROM MY FOOT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN AT AN EVEN PRESSURE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND NO ONE HAS EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. I HAVE SPENT THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR STORIES AND FOUND A COUPLE. IN MY OPINION THIS IS MORE SERIOUS THAN BEFORE THE SO CALLED FIX. I WANT THIS FIXED AND DO NOT SEEM TO BE GETTING ANYWHERE UNTIL MORE PEOPLE COME FORWARD. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 4.7L THAT DOESN'T LIKE TO START ALL THE TIME. WHILE THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE I BELIEVE YOU ARE LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. AS A FORMER MECHANIC/CURRENT ELECTRICIAN/AS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING I BELIEVE MY PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY ELECTRICAL IN NATURE. I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED BUT I FIGURED I WOULD SEND A MESSAGE AND GIVE YOU A HEADS UP. ALSO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN IN TOWN HERE HAS THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE BOTH BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY STILL WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. TODAY I AM SENDING MY PAPERWORK TO A LAW FIRM WHO SPECIALIZES IN THE PA LEMON LAW. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE. THEY JUST DID THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK LAST WEEK AND I'M GOING ON A LONG TRIP TOMORROW SO WISH ME LUCK! LOL THANKS! *TR

AIR PUMP IS FULL OF WATER. DEALER EMPTIEST, IT FILLS BACK UP. DEALER HAS NO EXPLANATION AS TO CAUSE. VEHICLE RUNS SLUGGISHLY. NEED TO ALLOW EXTRA TIME WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC DUE TO POOR ACCELERATION. DEALER WANTS $3000 TO REPLACE UNIT. *TR

ON SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 2010 AROUND 4:30 TO 5:00PM, MY WIFE [XXX] EXITED NW 5TH COURT FROM I95 TO NW [XXX] MIAMI, FLORIDA. AS SHE WAS APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN ON [XXX] , SHE COMMENCED TO PRESS THE BRAKES. TO HER DEMISE, AFTER PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, THE VEHICLE, A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREW CAB DID NOT STOP, INSTEAD, AUTOMATICALLY INCREASED SPEED TO OVER 20 MPH. SHE WAS FORCED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON 71ST STREET TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR FROM CRASHING UNTIL A 1990 TO 1994 GREEN FORD EXPLORER GOING AT SPEEDS WELL OVER 50 MPH ON NW 5TH COURT COMING FROM THE EAST TO WEST, RAMMED/CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TOYOTA TUNDRA AS MY WIFE WAS MAKING THE LEFT TRYING TO EVADE TRAFFIC AND MAKE THE TUNDRA STOP. HIS FORD EXPLORER COMPLETELY TOTALED THE TUNDRA. I THEN ARRIVED AT THE SCENE TO FIND MY WIFE WITH SERIOUS INJURIES AND TOOK HER TO THE ER. I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE SHE WAS ALIVE AND WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY TRANSPORT HER TO THE HOSPITAL. IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE OR A FRONT END COLLISION OCCURRED, MY WIFE WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE NOT SURVIVED. I FEEL, GOD WAS ON HER SIDE THAT DAY AND GAVE HER A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE. THE MAN IN THE GREEN FORD EXPLORER COULD HAVE SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED, BUT DID NOT. MAYBE, IF HE DIDN'T CRASH INTO THE TUNDRA THE WAY HE DID, MY WIFE WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2007 TUNDRA GAS PEDAL STICKS EVEN AFTER DEALER INSTALLED A SHIM IN FEBRUARY 2010. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DUAL CAB LIMITED WITH 6' BED. RIDE IS FINE EXCEPT WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON CONCRETE HIGHWAYS WITH REGULARLY-SPACED EXPANSION JOINTS. CONTINUOUS PROBLEM. TRUCK RESONATES AT THIS SPEED AND RESULTS IN CHOPPY RIDE. SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION THROUGHOUT FRAME, NOT TRANSLATED THROUGH STEERING WHEEL, AND OCCURS REGARDLESS OF LOAD, ALTHOUGH IT IS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN EMPTY. *TR

I TOOK MY 2007 TUNDRA FOR A MODIFICATION OF THE PEDAL TO TOYOTA. ON THE DATE BELOW. I AM CONCERN ABOUT THE WAY THE PEDAL IS WORKING. EVERY TIME THE TRUCK BOUNCES OR HITS A BUMP, MY TRUCK ACCELERATES, BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THE PEDAL. IT DID NOT DO THAT BEFORE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING IT BACK. AS SOON AS I CAN TAKE SOME TIME OFF OF WORK AGAIN. I JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW HOW THE MODIFICATION IS WORKING ON MY TUNDRA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA (PURCHASED NEW ON MARCH 07) I NOTICED AROUND JUNE OF 2009 THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN BRAKING AT SPEED BETWEEN 40 TO 50 MILES. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 , THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THERE ARE RUST ON THE FROND DISKS AND THE REAR DRUMS AND IT THEY NEED TO RESURFACE THE FRONT DISKS AND REAR DRUMS. TRUCK THEN HAD ONLY (15576 MILES), I PAID $418.12 FOR THE REPAIR, ADVISOR SAID IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. ON FEB. 2, 2010 I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CONSUMER EXPERIENCE CENTER IN CA, THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE, AND SHE GAVE ME A CASE NO. AND SAID I SHOULD TALK TO THE SERVICE MANAGE AT THE DEALER ( I DID NOT CONTACT HIM, BECAUSE I FELT I GET NO SATISFACTION). YESTERDAY ON MARCH 10, 2010 THERE IS A NEW REPORT ABOUT RUST ISSUES ON THE 2007 TUNDRA'S; AND ITS BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK ESPECIALLY AFTER SUCH A SHORT PERIOD AND ONLY 15576 MILES AT THE TIME I TOOK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED NOT ONLY ABOUT THE BRAKES THAT ALREADY STARTED TO RUST AFTER A SHORT PERIOD, BUT ALSO ABOUT BRAKE LINES, UNDER CARRIAGE ETC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CCELERATING BY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. ONE MONTH AFTER THE FAILURE THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL NOTICE # 10V017000 FOR THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE REPAIR PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 6177.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE DEALER FOUND THAT BOTH SPOKES WHERE BUSTED. THE DEALER ASKED THE CONTACT IF HE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE CONTACT STATED NO HE HADN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER THEN CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER NO LONGER SOLD THAT MODEL TIRE AND STATED THAT CONTACT COULD GET FOUR NEW WHEELS. THEY LET HIM CHOSE FROM TWO DIFFERENT MODELS AT KNOW COST TO HIM. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE NEW TIRES ARE BEING ORDERED. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THERE WAS AN FAILURE WITH THE WHEELS ,THATS THE REASON THEY STOPPED SELLING THEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 DOUBLE CAB AND HAVE HAD ALL OF MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE COMPLETED ON TIME AND AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE MADE THE COMPLAINT OF MY GAS PEDAL STICKING AND MY FLOOR MATS WERE NOT AN ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THEY "FIXED" THE RECALL PROBLEM WITH ADDING A PART TO THE GAS PEDAL. SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BACK, IT HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. THE GAS PEDAL STILL ACCELERATES ON ITS ON OR DECELERATES ON ITS ON. THE GAS PEDAL "FLOATS" WITH YOUR FOOT SO THE ENGINE IS CONSTANTLY MAKING THE RPM'S RISE AND FALL CONSTANTLY UPON RIDING OVER BUMPS OR HILLS. I DON'T WANT A "PART" TO BE INSTALLED, I WANT THE ENTIRE PEDAL TO BE REPLACED! I LIKE MY TRUCK, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN CORRECTLY AND IS CONSTANTLY MAKING A TICKING SOUND LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE WOULD SOUND. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TELLING ME IT IS OK AND NOTHING IS WRONG. TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT MADE TO JUST DOWN SHIFT 3 GEARS RIGHT OFF THE BAT ON THE INTERSTATE ON FLAT GROUND. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO TRY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS THEY PROCLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THEY ARE CRAZY! PULLING A HORSE TRAILER MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND IT WAS IN TOW MODE. IT TOOK 1 MILE OR LONGER FOR IT TO SHIFT FROM 1/2 GEAR TO 4 GEAR AND THE RPM'S WERE OVER 2,500.. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I FELT IT WOULD NEVER SHIFT DOWNWARD FROM 1/2 GEAR. I AM AFRAID TO PULL MY HORSES WITH THE TRANSMISSION ACTING THIS WAY. *TR

I HAD MY 2007 TUNDRA INTO TEXAS TOYOTA FOR WARRANTY WORK. THEY INSTALLED THE "RECALL" FIX. ( I NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE BEFORE THE "RECALL FIX") SINCE THE "FIX," I HAVE HAD 1 ACCELERATION WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND MANY SHORT BURST WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I HAD MY TUNDRA RUN AWAY WITH ME TWICE; BOTH TIMES IT OCCURRED WHEN I WENT TO PASSING GEAR WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. PROSPECT MOTORS IN JACKSON CA LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS THE FLOOR MAT. I ARGUED WITH THE SERVICE GUY, BUT HE WOULDN'T LISTEN. I KNOW FOR SURE THAT DURING THE FIRST OCCURRENCE THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS SECURED. AND I WOULD BET THAT IT WASN'T THE ISSUE WITH THE SECOND INCIDENT. I USE CRUISE CONTROL A LOT BUT NO LONGER LEAVE IT ON WHEN USING PASSING GEAR. THE FIRST TIME INCIDENT, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN SPEED CONTROL BY STOMPING ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS PETALS. I WAS NEVER ABLE TO REGAIN SPEED CONTROL DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT. I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AND PULL AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRYING TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. ONCE OFF THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WE ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ANY INFORMATION OR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE NO FAITH IN TOYOTA'S REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000. UPDATED 03/10/10 *BF THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT NO CHANGES BE MADE TO HIS COMPLAINT. UPDATED 05/10/10

STUCK GAS PEDAL. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON US101 HIGHWAY NEAR TILLAMOOK, OREGON WITH TWO OF MY BROTHERS, ONE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AND ONE ON THE BACK. WHEN I SLIGHTLY PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRUCK TOOK OFF WITH RPM AT ABOUT 6000 AND SPEED OF ABOUT 70MPH, AND I COULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK VIA PRESSING REALLY HARD ON THE BRAKE. FINALLY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT BY PUSHING THE SHIFT HANDLE TO NEUTRAL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND CHECKED THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE SURE NOTHING WOULD GET JAMMED, AND I DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, THE RPM SHOT TO 6000 AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I TAPPED ON THE GAS PADDLE COUPLE TIMES, AND THE ENGINE DROPPED BACK DOWN TO IDLE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ONE DRIVING IN FRONT OF ME, AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS INCIDENT, BUT I BELIEVED THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEED TO GET MORE ATTENTION FROM THE TRUCK MANUFACTURER. BTW, I'VE NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS TRUCK SINCE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

NO OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF PEDAL FAILURE ON MY AFFECTIVE 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I THOUGHT THAT COMPANIES WERE REQUIRED BY LAW TO SUPPLY OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION SENT TO YOU FOR A SAFETY RECALL. I ALSO HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR DRIVESHAFT SEPARATION THAT THIS VIN WAS ALSO INCLUDED, BUT WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER THAT IT WASN'T. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN HE MADE A SUDDEN STOP WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE REAR TIRE LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE SPUN AROUND. WHENEVER THE ROADS WERE WET OR COVERED WITH ICE HE LOST TRACTION, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED WHEN HE STARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO ACCELERATED WHEN HE SHIFTED INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE FAILURES. THE DEALER STATED THAT SINCE THE DIAGNOSIS DID NOT LOCATE A FAILURE CODE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DID NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY PARTS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

ON OCTOBER 31ST 2008 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT 7:30AM ON I-20 JUST WEST OF ATLANTA. I HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR AND TOTALED MY TRUCK. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I FELT LIKE MY TRUCK WAS ACCELERATING EVEN WHILE I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. UNTIL THE REPORTS STARTING APPEARING ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE I REALLY DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT MY ACCIDENT. I FEEL LIKE A STUCK ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSED MY ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE BEGAN TO IDLE EXCESSIVELY AND WHEN IT WAS IN GEAR IT LUNGED FORWARD AND BACKWARDS WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES. THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER SO THEY COULD CHECK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSTEAD IF WAS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,194.

INTERMITTENT FUEL PUMP IN 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4.7L V8. ENGINE WOULD STOP RUNNING RANDOMLY, FIRST AT LOW SPEED AND THEN EVENTUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (75 MPH). VERY DANGEROUS! FUEL PUMP REPLACED AFTER 30 DAYS OF STONEWALLING TO INCLUDE THE 'FIX' OF KEEPING THE GAS TANK AT LEAST 1/4 FULL. NEVER DETECTED BY THE COMPUTER; NO ERROR CODES EVER DISPLAYED. SIMILAR CASES REPORTED ON THE WEB WITH SIMILAR RESPONSES BY TOYOTA REPORTED. WHY ISN'T THIS BEING REPORTED IN THE MEDIA? *TR

THE GAS PEDAL STUCK I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. NOW THE TRUCK IS NOT DRIVING RIGHT. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP NOW. *TR

BOUGHT MY TUNDRA IN 07 . IN 09 OF JAN. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA STATING AFTER BRAKING IT FELT LIKE BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. TOYOTA REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT. IN OCT. OF 09 IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO TOYOTA THEY SAID THEY REPLACED IT ONCE & WOULD NOT REPLACE IT AGAIN & THAT IT WOULD KEEP HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I'VE EMAILED TOYOTA , CALLED CUSTOMER CARE THEY SAID ITS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TUNDRA. I ONLY HAVE 42000 MILES ON TRUCK. IF I WOULD OF KNOWN THIS I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LEMON LAW WAS ONLY 2 YEARS & THAT WOULDNT HELP. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE. *TR

VEHICLE FRONT END VIBRATES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH. THERE IS SEVER STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. THE FRONT TIRES ARE SHOWING WEAR THE OUT SIDE PORTION OF THE TIRE. THE OEM TIRES LASTED 15,000 MILES. I AM NOW ON A NEW SET OF TIRES THAT ARE EXHIBITING THE SAME TYPE OF UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. 1. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER A MINIMUM OF FOUR TIMES TO REVIEW THE SITUATION. 2. HAD AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. 3. BOTH THE DEALER SHIP AND THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP AGREE THERE IS A VIBRATION ISSUE. 4. THE DEALER CLAIMS THE ISSUE IS WITH THE TIRE BALANCE. THEY HAVE "ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES". 5. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION CONTINUES TO OCCUR. AT TIMES THE VIBRATION IS VERY SEVER AND OTHER TIMES THE VIBRATION IS NON EXISTENT. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION IN DELAWARE WHERE A 4 YEAR OLD GIRL WAS KILLED. INVESTIGATING OFFICER HAS TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO GET TOYOTA TO COME OUT AND INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE GAS PEDAL WAS AN ISSUE AS THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS AND DRIVER DOESN'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED. *TR 9/19/2011*CW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. HE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA ADVISING HIM THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS A PART OF THE TOYOTA ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALL (SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000) IN OCTOBER OF 2009. HE HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH HIS DEALER FROM OCTOBER 2009 TO FEBRUARY 2010 TO HAVE THE NECESSARY RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. HE WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT HIM UPON RECEIVING THE NECESSARY PARTS. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED THAT HE HAD TO WAIT SO LONG TO HAVE THE DEFECT REPAIRED SINCE IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH TO OCCUR. THERE WERE NO FAILURES TO DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,500.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA, THE GAS PEDAL HAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR 2 TIMES "10/07 & 1/10. IS IT NEEDED BY YOU FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. HE ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH INTO TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. HE WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION BY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL GEAR WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO STATED HE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE TO VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 16,000. UPDATED 3/8/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD JUST STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID A COLLISION. UPDATED 06/04/10.*JB

ON JULY 12, 2009 I ATTEMPTED TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT IN MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUT ON BRAKES, MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE TRAFFICE REPORT AND INSURANCE COMPANY DOCUMENTED MY EXPERIENCE (OF BEING UNABLE TO STOP MY TRUCK). MY TRUCK WAS TOTALED. *TR

TOYTOTA TUNDRA 2007 SPEED WENT FROM 60 MPH TO UNDER 20 MPH. CAR HAS SINCE BE DIAGOSED WITH DEFECTIVE AIR FLOW HANDLER, DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY $5,000 TO REPAIR THIS PART. THIS SITUATION CAUSED A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE AT THE COST OF THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

THE TAILGATE ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS COMING APART AT THE SEAMS. I HAVE HAD THE TAILGATE REPLACED ONCE FOR THE FAILURE, AND THE NEW ONE IS SHOWING THE SAME FAILURE. JUDGING BY THE PICTURES ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TOYOTA TAILGATES. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS DESIGN FLAW CAUSES INJURY TO A PERSON AND OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH FOR TOYOTA TAILGATE FAILURES SHOWS THE RESULTS OF SUCH A FAILURE. I DO LOAD MY QUAD USING THE TAILGATE AS A LOAD BEARING SYSTEM ,REASON FOR THIS IS THE RAMP SYSTEMS MADE FOR THIS TASK ARE DESIGNED TO USE A TAILGATE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE TAILGATE BROUGHT UP TO THE STANDARDS OF TOYOTAS COMPETITION. *TR

I WAS BEHIND A CAR MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH THE LEFT BLINKER CLEARLY ON, I HAD SLOWED TO ABOUT 10 OR 15 MPH AND WAS ABOUT 1 OR 2 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THE CAR. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WENT TO A FULL THROTTLE CONDITION... I GLANCED DOWN TO SEE IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS??? IT WAS FULLY ON THE BRAKE I THEN STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT WITH THE FULL THROTTLE IT CONTINUED FORWARD UNTIL I HIT THE CAR AND PUSHED IT LIKE A BULLDOZER. MY TRUCK CONTINUED ABOUT 20 BEFORE FINALLY STOPPING. ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT WHILE ON A DOWN RAMP WITH A CAR AT LEAST 20 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND IT TOOK OFF??? I QUESTIONED MYSELF AS TO WHAT HAD HAPPENED? IT ACTS LIKE THE RESUME BUTTON IS PRESSED FOR CRUISE CONTROL BUT I DID NOT HAVE CRUISE ON EITHER TIME. IN READING TOYOTAS DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM THEY SAY... STICKING AND OR HARD TO PRESS ON THE PEDAL I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OF THOSE PROBLEMS.IN TALKING WITH TOYOTA I WAS ASKED WHAT I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE AND I SAID I THINK THE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE MIGHT BE INVOLVED. IT HAS AN INPUT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, AN INPUT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AN OUTPUT TO THE THROTTLE POSITIONER. IT IS MY FEELING THAT THERE ARE MORE PROBLEMS THAN JUST A GAS PEDAL ISSUE. *TR

THE PHYSICAL PEDAL SEEMS TO STICK WHEN PRESSURE IS REDUCED (SLOWING OR DECELERATING) BUT POPS FREE ONCE MOST OF THE PRESSURE HAS BEEN RELEASED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. I DID NOT RETURN IT TO THE DEALER, INSTEAD I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY AND APPLY SEVERAL DROPS OF WD40 TO THE PIVOT SHAFT AND BUSHING. AFTER WORKING THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES AND RE-INSTALLING BACK INTO THE VEHICLE, THE PEDAL SEEMED TO OPERATE NORMALLY FOR UP TO 4 TO 5 MONTHS BEFORE STARTING TO STICK ONCE MORE. NOTE: THE VEHICLE NEVER ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN NOR DID THE PEDAL NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION. *TR

CHRISTMAS EVE 2008 MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING OUR 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA FROM BEL AIR MARYLAND TO LADSON, SC. JUST OUTSIDE OF COLONIAL HTS, VA., I TOOK THE TUNDRA OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE I WAS APPROACHING A TRACTOR TRAILER IN FRONT OF ME BUT THE TUNDRA KEPT ACCELERATING TOWARD THE SEMI. I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET TO SLOW THE TUNDRA DOWN SO I COULD MOVE INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND EVENTUALLY STOP IT ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF I95. I TRIED TO CALL AAA BUT WAS UNABLE TO CORRECTLY DIAL MY CELL PHONE AS I WAS STILL TOO EXCITED DUE TO THE RUSH OF ADRENALINE I HAD EXPERIENCED. MY WIFE AND I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SO ONCE I CALMED DOWN WE CONTINUED OUR DRIVE TO SC. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE LADSON OR SUMMERVILLE TOYATA DEALER WHO KEPT IT THAT DAY AND FINALLY CALLED TO SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG. AT THE TIME I STILL THOUGHT IT WAS A CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE BUT NOW I BELIEVE IT WAS PART OF THE TOYOTA ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE TRUCK AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANOTHER INCIDENT SINCE THE ONE IN DECEMBER 2008*CW

07 TOYOTA TUNDRA RECALL - RECEIVED NOTICE IN OCTOBER - STILL NO SOLUTION FROM TOYOTA.*CW

VEHICLE HARD TO STOP WITH A/C OR HEADLIGHTS ON. ENGINE IDLES NORMALLY 5-600 RPM, UNTIL PARKING LIGHTS OR A/C IS TURNED ON. THEN IT IDLES AT 800 RPM IN GEAR. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN REAR ENDED, AFTER COMING TO A STOP. IF DRIVING SURFACE IS SLIPPERY AND PUT INTO GEAR WITH HEAD LIGHTS ON, THE REAR TIRES WILL BEGIN TO SPIN, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURENCE THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERS WITH NO RELIEF. ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT THE COMPUTER SAYS EVERYTHING IS OKAY. TURNING THE PARKING LIGHTS ON DOES NOT CAUSE ENOUGH LOAD ON THE ENGINE TO WARRANT THE EXTRA 200 OR MORE RPM. THE OTHER DAY ( 01/26/2010 ) I WAS TURNING AROUND IN A MUDDY DRIVEWAY AND WHILE IDLING I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK WENT STRAIGHT, EVEN AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES, LEAVING TWO BIG RUTS THROUGH MY FRIENDS YARD. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE GROUND BEING SLIPPERY AND THE HIGH IDLE SPEED. I AM SURE THAT THIS WILL CUT DOWN ON THE LIFE OF THE BRAKES. 4.7 V8 ENGINE *CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN MAY OF 2007. IN JUNE OF 2007 WHILE HE WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. HE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY PUTTING THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND DRIVING ON THE SIDE WALK TO AVOID A CRASH IN ORDER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. HE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE THREE TIMES. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO TOYOTA DEALERS WHO STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE; YET, THE FLOOR MAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. HE ADVISED THE DEALERS THAT HE DID NOT HAVE THE FLOOR MAT IN HIS VEHICLE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALER WHO STATED THAT IT COULD BE A COMPUTER FAILURE. HE ALSO ASKED THE DEALER IF HE COULD TRADE THE VEHICLE WHEN HE EXPERIENCED THE FIRST FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 02/19/10. *LJ UPDATED 07/26/10*JB

REFERRING TO THE JANUARY 21, 2010 TOYOTA RECALL OF CERTAIN LATE MODEL VEHICLES DUE TO A ACCELERATOR PEDAL ... I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH APPROXIMATELY 41K MILES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED VEHICLE BEHAVIOR CONSISTENT WITH THAT RESULTING FROM A STUCK ACCELERATOR ... BOTH IN FORWARD AND REVERSE ... ON AT LEAST THREE OCCASIONS. AFTER READING OF TOYOTA'S RECALL, I CONTACTED THE PHONE NUMBER ON TOYOTA'S WEB SITE AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVE DENIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. ANOTHER TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE WAS AWARE OF THE RECALL AND PROVIDED THE NAME OF A LOCAL DEALER ... THEIR SERVICE MANAGER ALSO DENIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL EVEN WHEN I READ THE RECALL NOTICE FROM THE TOYOTA'S WEB SITE! SHE EVEN TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THAT I HAVE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED! THIS LACK OF INTERNAL COMMUNICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA - 4X4. SEVERAL TIMES I NOTICED THAT IT HAD MOVED FROM WHERE I PARKED IT. IT HAD MOVED FROM THE SPOT THAT I HAD PLACED IT AND ROLLED BACKWARDS, DOWN A FAIRLY STEEP GRADE, A DISTANCE OF AROUND 20 FEET. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO REPLICATE THE INCIDENT AND DISCOVERED THE FOLLOWING: WHEN PARKED ON A HILL WITHOUT THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT "LOCK" IN PARK WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED ONLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO PARK IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING THE ANTI SKID (TRACTION CONTROL) RESPOND TO A SLIPPERY CONDITION. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE PROBLEM ALSO DOES NOT OCCUR IF THE AUTOMATED ANTI SKID RESPONSE DOES NOT ACTIVATE ITSELF. THE ROLLING DOES NOT ALWAYS BEGIN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE NOT YET TRIED TO GET THE SAME RESPONSES WHILE BACKING THE TRUCK UP THE HILL IN REVERSE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IN WARREN, OHIO ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2009. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ANYONE WHO MAY FIND THEMSELVES BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT BEGINS TO ROLL. *TR

WHEEL NUTS BREAKING. REF RECALL 08V080000. SOUTHEAST TOYOTA ONLY. MINE IS GULF STATE WITH SAME PROBLEM. HAD 8 NUTS FAIL. TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SOUTHEAST TRUCK. *TR

BF GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL TIRES HAVE NO OUTER WATER CHANNELS TO DISPLACE WATER. I HAVE THESE TIRES ON MY 07 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND HYDROPLANING IS A BIG CONCERN. I'VE SEARCHED FOR CONSUMER REVIEWS AND HAVE READ WHERE OTHERS HAVE THE SAME CONCERN. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA V-8, 5.7 L. 4 LO LIGHT BLINKS, VSC LIGHT BLINK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY ALL THREE OF THESE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON. I CAN TAKE MY BATTERY OFF AND THEY RESET. PER TOYOTA DISCONNECT BATTERY AND IT WILL RE SET. THE TRUCK WILL KICK YOU DOWN TO 40 MPH OR SLOWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF YOU ARE RUNNING 60 AT THE TIME. WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS MY SECONDARY AIR INTAKE. AND A TIRE SENSOR PROBLEM. BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN SURGES IN MOTOR OR DIEING FOR NO REASON. TALKED WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT. TO DATE NOT DONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS. HAVE TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY JUST TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MORE THAN 3 TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. WENT TO PULL OUT TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND IT KICKED DOWN, HAD THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED AND THE TRUCK WOULD BARELY MOVE. MY TRUCK NOW HAS 40,000 MILES AND IT STILL IS NOT FIXED. MY A/C WENT OUT, SAID IT WAS THE FUSE, WHAT ABOUT THE BLOWER MOTOR THAT HAS NEVER WORKED RIGHT, OR THE TRUCK WANTS TO DIE ALL THE TIME, ELECTRONIC START WONT WORK WAS TOLD MY BATTERY WAS NO GOOD YET THEY WON'T HONOR THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT IS NOW OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY DUE TO THEM TAKING SO LONG TO GET IT IN AND HAVING ME TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY ALL THE TIME. TOYOTA CALLED TO DAY AND SAID MY TRUCK WOULD BE DONE IN A COUPLE HOURS, THEN LESS THAN A HOUR LATER THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T BE DONE BECAUSE THEY HAD ORDERED THE WRONG PARTS AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING THEM A BATTE

TOYOTA 2007 THRU 2010 I LEASED A 2007 TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB AND GET RECALL ON SAFETY THE MAT MAKING GAS PEDAL TO GET STUCK AND MAKES VEH GO 90MP CANT STOP. FOUND ARTICLE IN LOS ANGELES TIMES SAYING WORRIES MAY NOT COME FROM MATS BUT FROM BRAIN IN VEH. WHICH I BELIEVE USA GOV. IS MAKING THEM CHECK IF THAT WERE THE PROBLEM IS COMING FROMUNDER TOYOTA'S RUNAWAY CAR WORRIES MAY NOT STOP FLOOR MATS. I CALLED TOYOTA SOUTHEAST FINANCE AND TOLD THEM I DID NOT WANT THIS TUNDRA TRUCK ANY LONGER TOLD ME THEY WILL NOT TAKE IT BACK HAS 9K MILES ON IT ALREADY HAD TRANSMISSION LEAK CD PROBLEMS AND SO FORTH I NEED TO KNOW HOW I CAN HAVE THEM TAKE THIS TRUCK BACK. WHO DO I CONTACT IN STATE OF FLORIDA. CAN YOU CONTACT THEM FOR ME TO RECEIVE A COMPLAINT FORM TO BE PUT IN THEIR FILES I DON'T WANT THIS TIME BOMB. *TR

HAVE NOTED INTERMITTENT INSTANCES OF SURGING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNDER LOAD. OCCURS 5-10 TIMES A WEEK. STARTED AT ABOUT 8K MILES. DEALER "SAYS" UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. FREQUENCY INCREASING AS MILEAGE INCREASES. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN MAIL LAST WEEK. WENT OVER 36,000 MILES TWO WEEKS AGO. RECALL PLUS SURGING MAKES ONE QUESTION SAFETY OF TUNDRA. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TUNDRA DC TRD TRUCK. I REPLACED THE OEM TIRES AT 19500 MILES (BFG RUGGED TRAILS) WITH MICHELIN LTX AT2'S MARCH 2009. I NOW HAVE 23,800 MILES ON THE TRUCK. NOW ANYTIME I GO OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMP REGARDLESS OF SPEED THE BED BOUNCES SO BAD THAT IT VIBRATES UP THROUGH THE CAB. THE BED BOUNCED BEFORE BUT NOT THIS BAD. I FEEL IT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. IF I DRIVE ON A BACK DIRT ROAD THE BACK END BOUNCES ALL OVER THE ROAD. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I REPORTED IT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2009. NOW THAT THE MECHANIC CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN CA, HE SAID THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THAT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT. SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WAS THE TIRES. DEALER RECOMMENDED I ADD WEIGHT IN THE BED, I ADDED 5 SANDBAGS, 300 LBS (WINTER IS ALMOST HERE) AND IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE TO THE RIDE. I BELIEVE THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED. *TR
