2007 Toyota Tundra complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THERE WAS AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SUDDENLY, THE "AIR BAG" WARNING INDICATOR DISPLAYED THE "OFF" POSITION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE AIR BAG SENSOR DETECTED AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE CONTACT HAS CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

THE 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB WITH 5.7 LITER ENGINE WAS EXPERIENCING VEHICLE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF WIRING HARNESS, TRACTION CONTROL ECU, WHEEL SPEED SENSORS THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. A FACTORY TECHNICIAN WAS BROUGHT IN TO LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE. THE FACTORY TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK WERE BECAUSE SEVERAL SENSORS HAD LOST CALIBRATION DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DISCONNECTED. THERE IS NO INFORMATION IN THE OWNERS MANUAL NOR ANY WARNING SIGNS ON THE VEHICLE THAT PROVIDE ANY CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS TO THE OWNER OR A SERVICE PROVIDER THAT DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CALIBRATION OF SENSORS IN THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION HAS CLARIFIED THAT THIS INFORMATION IS ONLY IN THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL. A REVIEW OF SEVERAL TOYOTA REPAIR PROCEDURES, WHICH REQUIRE THE BATTERY TO BE DISCONNECTED CONTAIN NO WARNING TO CHECK SENSOR CALIBRATION. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS ONE OF THE MAJOR SAFETY SYSTEMS OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN IT FAILS, THE OPERATOR MAY LOOSE THROTTLE AND BRAKING CONTROL. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SHUT DOWN THE THROTTLE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION, THUS NEARLY CAUSING A T-BONE COLLISION. *TR

A FRIEND AND I WERE ATTEMPTING TO LAUNCH HIS JETSKI. I BACKED MY TRUCK DOWN THE BOAT RAMP AND MY FRIEND WAS ON THE JETSKI. MY FRIEND WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE JETSKI TO COME OFF THE TRAILER SO, I PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND GOT OUT TO SHOVE THE JETSKI OFF. AS I GOT OUT I NOTICED THE TRUCK LUNGE AND START TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I ATTEMPTED TO REACH MY FOOT BACK IN TO HIT THE BRAKE. BY THIS TIME MY SHOES WERE WET AND BECAUSE OF THE POSITION OF MY BODY, MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SMASHED THE GAS PEDAL WHICH CAUSED TRUCK TO TAKE OFF IN REVERSE. AS I WAS STILL HALFWAY IN AND OUT OF THE TRUCK THE DOOR DRUG ME DOWN THE BOAT RAMP AND UNDER THE WATER WITH THE TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET FREE AND HAD NO SERIOUS INJURIES. THE TRUCK HOWEVER WAS FULLY SUBMERGED AND THE JETSKI TRAILER WAS BROKEN IN THE PROCESS. NOTE: THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS CHANGED OUT UNDER A WARRANTY CLAIM AT AROUND 10,000 MILES BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX I FEEL A CLUNK IN THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR END A FEW SECONDS AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT FEELS AS IF SOME OTHER CAR HAS BUMPED ME IN THE REAR AND THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE THUMP IS MUCH WORSE THAN OTHER TIMES. THIS STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A SUDDEN STOP I MADE WHEN AN ANIMAL CROSSED THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVEN'T HAD MY DEALER CHECK THIS YET BUT I NOW REALIZE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO I WILL GET IT TO THE DEALER SOON. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES AND CLOSE TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION. *TR

I FEEL A CLUNK IN THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR END A FEW SECONDS AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT FEELS AS IF SOMEONE BUMPS ME IN THE REAR, ONLY THERE'S NO CAR BEHIND ME. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AT THE DEALER BUT THEY SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT? NOW THE BUMP IS GETTING EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED. ALSO IN THE MORNINGS THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT CHANGE INTO 5TH OR 6TH GEAR UNTIL I DRIVE APP. 1 MILE. I AM NEARING 25,000 MILES AND WOULD LIKE THESE ISSUES FIXED BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF MY WARRANTY. *TR

AS I SLOW DOWN I FEEL A CLUNK IN THE TRANSMISSION. A FEW SECONDS AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT FEELS AS IF SOMEONE BUMPS ME IN THE REAR, ONLY THERE'S NO CAR BEHIND ME. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND SEAL, BUT NOW THE BUMP IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED. ALSO IN THE MORNINGS THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT CHANGE INTO 6TH GEAR UNTIL I DRIVE APP. 1 MILE AT 60 MPH. I AM NEARING THE EXPIRATION OF MY WARRANTY AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX WITH BLACK CLOTH INTERIOR, AND ITS VERY HARD TO KEEP LINT AND HAIR OUT OF THE CLOTH. I'M AN AUTO DETAILER AND I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY VACUUM IT TO TRY AND KEEP IT CLEAN. I WANTED LEATHER BUT TO GET THAT OPTION IS ROUGHLY ANOTHER $6,000 MORE WHICH IS ALOT WHEN THE WINDOW STICKER OF MY TRUCK WAS ALREADY OVER $37,000. SO IM NOT TO SURE OF HOW THIS WORKS BUT THIS IS A VERY WELL MAINTAINED TRUCK VERY LOW MILES AND YOU CANT DO ANYTHING TO KEEP LINT OR HAIR OUT. A FRIEND OF MINE WHO ALSO WORKS WITH ME OWNS AN 2008 GMC SIERRA WITH BLACK CLOTH AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT IN HIS CASE THEY CHANGED THE FABRIC FOR 2009 AND HE MADE A COMPLAINT WITH THE LINT PROBLEM AND HE'S GETTING THE CHANGED FABRIC. SO IM HOPING MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 2007-UP TUNDRA TRUCKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A VERY NOTICEABLE BOUNCING SENSATION COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHEN THE SPEED EXCEEDS 55 MPH AND BEGAN WEEKS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE VEHICLE BECOMES DISCONNECTED WITH THE ROAD. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND COULD NOT LOCATE ANY FAILURES; HOWEVER, THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE TIRES COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE SUSPENSION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BOUNCE UP AND DOWN VIOLENTLY. THROUGH RESEARCH, HE DISCOVERED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 19,600.

MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA LUNGES FORWARD VERY OFTEN. IT DOES IT WHEN I'M COMING TO A STOP. IT WILL DO IT AS I'M DECELERATING OR EVEN AFTER I'VE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HIT MY WIFE'S CAR IN THE REAR BUMPER THIS WEEK WHILE I WAS FOLLOWING HER. THAT IS WHAT HAS FINALLY PUSHED ME OVER THE EDGE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. SINCE I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY IS RUNNING INTO THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2005 TUNDRAS AND UP. THIS NEEDS TO GET FIXED BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

TRUCK HAS A CLUNK AND BUMP COMING FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN.WHEN YOU LET THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE DRIVE SHAFT JERKS. ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE. ARBITRATION SAYS THAT TOYOTA HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. *TR

RADIO GOES OFF OR ON BY ITSELF AND SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF WHEN SELECTING A STATION BUT THE RADIO STILL WORKS. HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TURN RADIO ON AT TIMES AND THE NEXT TIME IT WILL GO OFF WHEN SELECTING A STATION. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WITH THE CD PLAYER. RADIO WAS CHANGED ONCE WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR, WORKED FINE FOR AWHILE AND HAS STARTED AGAIN. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA LONG BED 1. DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND REAR TIRE BLOWS OUT. 2. THE YOKE OF THE DRIVE SHAFT BREAKS, SEPARATES FROM THE TRANSMISSION, EXITS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CUTTING UP THE REAR TIRE. 3. FRONT AND REAR PORTIONS OF THE SHAFTS REPLACED, GAS TANKS SHIELDS, REAR BUMPER, TRUCK BED BOTH SECTIONS OF THE DRIVE SHAFT WERE RECOVERED. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PICTURES AVAILABLE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 4X4 DRIVESHAFTS, BUT NOT THE 2WD. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA HESITATES WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED AT A LIGHT MAKING A TURN OR SLOWLY ROLLING AROUND A CORNER AND MAKING A SHARP TURN. NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS GIVEN IT RETARDS IT SELF AND THEN LURCH ONCE THE WHEELS START TO STRAITEN UP. I WAS TOLD IT IS A COMPUTER ISSUE DUE TO THE ANTISLIP FEATURES. BUT IT IS GROSS OVER CORRECTION AT BEST. AND DANGEROUS FOR SURE. *TR

I JUST NOTICED OTHERS HAD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE TOO ON YOUR SITE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER AND THEY HAD NO FIX EXCEPT TO REMOVE ONE OR THE OTHER ALTHOUGH THE STANDARD CLIP DOES NOT WORK WELL WITH THEIR MUDDER MATS. I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY FROM THE RAMP AND PRESSED DOWN TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK ACCELERATED AS HARD AND FAST AS IT COULD. I FOUND MYSELF HAVING TO WEAVE THROUGH TRAFFIC LIKE I WAS IN A NASCAR RACE. WHEN I FINALLY FOUND A CLEAR PATH TO THE SHOULDER I SWERVED ONTO IT AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN AND I COULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. I HAD TO BE GOING ABOUT 60 AT THE TOP OF THE ONRAMP AND WELL OVER 100, PROBABLY FASTER, WHEN I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SHUT IT OFF. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO TAKE A BREAK AND CALM DOWN AND UPON RETURNING TO THE TRUCK I NOTICED THAT THE "MUDDER MATS" I BOUGHT FROM A TOYOTA SITE SLIPPED FORWARD ENOUGH TO WEDGE ITSELF UNDER THE GAS PEDAL. I STAY AWARE OF THE POSITION OF THE MAT MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND KEEP IT SLID BACK BUT THERE IS NO RESTRAINT FOR IT THAT WILL GO THRU BOTH THE FLOOR LINER THAT PROTECTS MORE OF THE FLOOR AREA AND THE MUDDER MAT ON TOP OF IT. I BOUGHT BOTH AT THE TUNDRA PARTS SITE. I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE SOME WARNING FOR OTHERS MADE BIG AND DRAMATIC ENOUGH TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM TO AVOID HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO ANOTHER. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SURVIVED THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON A SANDY ROAD, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AGGRESSIVELY AND FORCEFULLY AT 70 MPH. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION IN ORDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE DRIVER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STARTED THE IGNITION.

THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,400 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,800.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 55MPH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA SUDDENLY DROPPED TO THE FLOOR BELOW MY RIGHT FOOT. MY TRUCK ACCELERATED TO FULL THROTTLE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT STUCK TO THE FLOOR MAT. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED AT A RAPID PACE AND NEARLY RAN INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE ROADWAY. I ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY TAPPING ON THE BRAKES, THEN THE ACCELERATOR AND TURNING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON OFF EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE WAS ALREADY OFF. NOTHING RESPONDED AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TO A DANGEROUS SPEED. THE ACCELERATOR WAS "FLOORED" AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO MANEUVER AROUND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND SEVERAL THAT PASSED GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION QUICKLY. THE TRUCK WAS GAINING SPEED AT AN INCREDIBLY RAPID PACE. I CONTINUED TO BRAKE THE TRUCK IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND PREVENT LOOSING CONTROL. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO DOWN-SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV UNCONTROLLABLY. THE SAME HAPPENED WHEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF WITH THE KEY. THE RPM'S WERE REVVING SO HIGH THAT I FEARED THE ENGINE WOULD BLOW UP. I PULLED MY TRUCK INTO A BOAT PARKING AREA ON THE ROADSIDE AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES WHILE PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE ENGINE KEY TO OFF. THE ENGINE, BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION WERE ALL SMOKING FROM THE STRESS AND HIGH RPM'S. I HAD EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION ABOUT SIX MONTHS PRIOR (JAN

I JUST PURCHASED AN 07 TOYOTA TUNDRA LIMITED 2WD PICKUP TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING ON ANY CEMENT FREEWAY (ESPECIALLY THOSE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (101 VENTURA)), I EXPERIENCED A "BED BOUNCE" THAT WAS SO SEVERE, I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS LOSS OF CONTROL OCCURRED AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 60MPH TO 75MPH. I CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CONFIRMED IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TUNDRA TRUCKS BUT ARE NOT WORKING ON ANY FIXES. THIS ANSWER IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON "CEMENT" FREEWAYS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF CONTROL. TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.... I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT WITH YOU. *TR

I HAVE A DOUBLE CAB LIMITED EDITION HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS FOR OVER 10 MONTHS NOW ABOUT THE TERRIBLE BED BOUNCE PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY SERVICE BUSINESS &PLEASURE. TOY IS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN! THE FIRST THING PEOPLE SAY IS,WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE ROADS? KIDS HATE IT. MY DOG HATES THE TRUCK! SHE CAN'T GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE BED BOUNCE. BY THE END OF THE DAY I AM AT DRIVER FATIGUE STAGE! YOU CAN DRIVE 60-70 BUT NOT FOR LONG! THIS TRUCK FEELS EVERY LITTLE BUMP NOOK AND CRANNY ON ALL ROADS. I TRIED GOING UP TO 80-90 MILES AN HOUR TO REMOVE THE BOUNCE, IT'S STILL THERE. GOING SLOWER LIKE 50 MPH OR LESS DOESN'T DO MUCH. I'D RATHER DRIVE A HORSE AND BUGGY WITH SOLID WOOD WHEELS. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW DISAPPOINTING IT IS TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. NOBODY LIKES BEING IN THIS TRUCK. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER OF TOYOTA WHO DROVE ONE. HIS WIFE MADE HIM RETURN HIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF IT'S TERRIBLE RIDE AND HE AGREED. TOOK MY TRUCK TO GMC DEALER TO TRADE IT, THEY HAVE GOTTEN WIND OF IT'S PROBLEM AND ARE NOT WILLING TO TRADE IT IN. GOOD LUCK IS ALL THEY SAY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS I'M HAVING A BED BOUNCE SENSATION, IT'S NOT THE FRAME, IT'S NOT THE SUSPENSION, PUT 10 BAGS OF CEMENT IN THE BACK, TOW A LOAD, THIS WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER RIDE! I CAN'T BELIEVE I SPEND OVER 40,000! I TOOK IT TO A SPECIALIST AND WAS TOLD IT'S THE FRAME! NOT MUCH CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS TOYOTA IS HAVING. ALL I KNOW IS I HAVE A TRUCK I DON'T WANT AND CAN'T RE

BED BOUNCE IS HORRIBLE ON MY 2007 TUNDRA. NOT ONLY DOES IT HAPPEN AT SPEEDS OF 55-70 ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT GETS VERY SHAKY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN. IT HAS MADE ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING, BECAUSE I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BED BOUNCE THAN THE OTHER TRAFFIC AROUND ME. *TR

BED BOUNCES AND SHAKES EXCESSIVELY. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE VEHICLE INSTABILITY AND DRIVER FATIGUE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON CONCRETE ROADWAYS. *TR

AFTER PARKING THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, I WENT BACK INTO THE TRUCK . AS I STARTED THE TRUCK THE 4-WHEEL LO LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH WITH AN INDICATOR BEEP. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE TRUCK WAS IN 2-WHEEL DRIVE AND NEVER ENGAGED IN ANY 4-WHEEL OPERATION. AT THE POINT OF THIS I TRIED TO PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND IT WAS NOT THERE IT WAS NEUTRAL, SO THEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THAT WAS NEUTRAL ALSO, I REPEATED THIS 4 OR 5 TIMES IN DISBELIEF. AT THAT POINT I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE NOT REALIZING THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE NO PARK. I THEN WALKED ALONG SIDE THE TRUCK AND SO IT ROLL DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND HIT THE GARAGE. THE TRUCK ONLY ROLLED ABOUT 20 FEET APPROX, BUT CAUSED ABOUT $5,000.00 IN DAMAGE BETWEEN THE 2. I PRECEDED TO THEN CALL HOFFMAN TOYOTA AND EXPLAIN. THE DEALER WAS ACCOMMODATING AT FIRST OFFERING A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE THEY RAN TESTS. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT IN ALL HIS TIME IN THE BUSINESS HE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, SAYING ONLY OPERATOR ERROR COULD CAUSE THIS. MY FRUSTRATION LEVEL WAS RISING BUT REMAINED CALM. ALONG THE WAY I WAS TALKING TO TOYOTA CORP ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND HAD A CASE MANAGER APPOINTED TO ME. TOYOTA CORP HAD SENT A FIELD TECH TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER REVIEW. HIS TEST ALSO SHOWED NO VEHICLE ERROR FOUND AND THAT NO RELATED CASES OF TRANSMISSIONS COMING OUT OF PARK. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS WOULD ONLY BE POSSIBLE FROM OPERATOR ERROR. SO I NOW HAD TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY HOUSE GARAGE AND TRUCK

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX. WHEN DRIVING ON CONCRETE FREEWAYS THE BED OF THE TRUCK BOUNCES VERY VERY BAD WORSE THAN ANY OTHER TRUCK I HAVE EVER RIDDEN IN. I SOMETIMES FEEL UNSAFE LIKE MAYBE ITS BOUNCING SO MUCH THAT IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF I NEED TO STOP SUDDENLY. I DON'T THINK THE TIRES COME OFF THE GROUND BUT THE VIBRATION IS SO BAD THAT TALKING BECOMES DIFFICULT. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON CONCRETE SURFACE, I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERE VEHICLE SHAKING ON MY NEW 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. UPON INVESTIGATING THIS I HAVE NOTED MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND CALLING IT TUNDRA BED BOUNCE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS. NEITHER DEALER WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM OR OFFER ANY SOLUTIONS. ONE OF THE DEALERS SUGGESTED I ADD ABOUT 200 POUNDS OF WEIGHT TO THE BED OF THE TRUCK TO TRY TO IMPROVE THE RIDE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO COMPLAIN OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS GIVEN A CASE FILE NUMBER. THEIR REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT TOYOTA HAS RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT OR PROBLEM. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE ON THE ROAD. *TR

TRUCK HAS EXTREME VIBRATION, BOUNCE AND OVERALL SHAKE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AS FELT THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THIS COMBINED WITH THE VERY LIGHT STEERING AND ACCELERATOR EFFORT LEADS TO A VERY UNSTABLE FEELING OF NOT BEING IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN EVEN AND STEADY ACCELERATOR PRESSURE AND STEERING DIRECTION. DEALERSHIP HAS ROTATED AND BALANCED TIRES AND PERFORMED ALIGNMENT, BUT HAS MADE ZERO DIFFERENCE. DEALERSHIP HAS MADE 3 ATTEMPTS SO FAR TO FIX. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TOYOTA IS WORKING ON THE ISSUE. *TR

DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. AFTER MAKING A COMPLAINT WITH MANAGEMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY ATTEMPTED TO BALANCE THE TIRES AND PERFORM AN ALIGNMENT. THIS DID NOT HELP. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO PUT WEIGHT IN THE BED.
