2007 Toyota Tundra complaints

TOYOTA 2007 TUNDRA TWICE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY DUE TO A STUCK ACCELERATOR ON THE FACTORY FLOOR MATS, WHICH ARE A VERY THICK RUBBER AND DON'T COME WITH SAFETY CLIPS. MAT WAS MOVED BACK BUT FEAR IT MAY SLIDE FORWARD AGAIN. *TR

NUT HOLDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT DUCT WAS LOOSE. THIS ALLOWED THE HEAT DUCT TO FALL DOWN AND BLOCK THE DRIVER'S USE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. LUCKILY FOR ME I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET OR DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS DEFECT ALMOST COMPLETELY BLOCKS THE DRIVERS USE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ON A CROWDED FREEWAY AT SPEED THEY COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN THE ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 60-65 MPH, HE HEARD A CHATTERING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. HE FELT THAT THE VEHICLE SPRING AND SHOCK ABSORBERS CAUSED THE FAILURE.

THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S HEADLIGHT POINTED TOWARD ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT POINTED TOWARD THE SIDE. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY TO THE POINT WHERE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BOUNCED UP AND DOWN ON THE CONTACT'S FOOT. THE FAILURE WAS MOST NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT COULD NOT PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THROUGH RESEARCH AND PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATIONS, THE FAILURE WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE HARMONIC VIBRATION CAUSED BY THE EXPANSION JOINTS. THE CONTACT FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 209.

YOU ALREADY HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT TAILGATE FAILURE ON 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCKS. I HAVE READ ABOUT THEM AND SEEN THE PICTURES. I HAVE PERSONALLY CONTACTED TOYOTA MOTORS TO GET A SAFE WEIGHT MAXIMUM FOR THIS TAILGATE AND THEY HAVE TWICE REFUSED TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION. IN THEIR LATEST CORRESPONDENCE THEY CLAIM THE TAILGATE HAS NO RATING AS IT IS NOT A WEIGHT BEARING PART. THIS CONTRADICTS THEIR OWN WEBSITE WHERE THEY SELL A BED EXTENDER ACCESSORY THAT IS USED TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY BY USING THE TAILGATE AS A WEIGHT BEARING PART OF THE TRUCK. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE TO FORCE TOYOTA TO REVEAL THE SAFE TAILGATE WEIGHT LIMITS. *CN

I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN THE 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR REAR PROPELLER SHAFT, FRONT BALL JOINTS, BRAKES, SEAT BELTS, AND TAILGATES.

ON AUGUST 2007 I PURCHASED A TOYOTA TUNDRA. IT IS SUFFERING TERRIBLE BED BOUNCE ON THE HIGHWAY. SO MUCH BED BOUNCE THAT I CANNOT HAVE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES. THE BODY OF THE TRUCK SHAKES LIKE A TUNING FOR JARRING THE ENTIRE CABIN LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THESE ISSUES AND RECALLED THE VEHICLE FOR A FIX. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE TUNDRA AND CONTINUED DRIVING MY OTHER CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 45-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BOUNCES ON BUMPY PAVEMENT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO CARRY HEAVY LOADS AND, UNLESS THE VEHICLE HAS A HEAVY LOAD, IT WILL BOUNCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,114.

"BED BOUNCE". THE COMPLAINT IS THAT AT SPEED OF 50-65 & 70 MPH, THE 2007 TUNDRA PICK-UP VIBRATES AND BOUNCES TO THE POINT OF UNCOMFORTABLE AND WHAT I FEEL IS UNSAFE. SAFETY ISSUE WITH INFANT, SINCE CAN AND WILL SHAKE INFANT. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BY SOMEONE ASAP. TOYOTA CLAIMS TO BE WORKING ON IT, BUT WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE FOR A FIX, LEMON LAW OR CLASS-ACTION SUIT OR EVEN SOMEONE GETTING HURT. *TR

THE VEHICLE BOUNCES HORRIBLE AT SPEEDS OF 60-80MPH ON CONCRETE FREEWAYS. AS PER DEALER I HAVE ADDED 200# OF ADDED WEIGHT TO THE REAR, TO WHICH THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. THE BOUNCING IS VERY NOTICEABLE IN THE REAR SEATS, SO MUCH SO THAT I AM NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AS A PASSENGER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS AS A FAMILY VEHICLE. I HAVE INSPECTED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY NOTICEABLE EFFECT ON THE BOUNCING. I FEEL THE VEHICLE IN UNSAFE ON THESE ROADS AND COULD VERY EASILY BECOME UNSTABLE. *TR

TOYOTA CORPORATION REFERS TO THIS ISSUE AS "BED BOUNCE". THE COMPLAINT IS THAT AT SPEED OF 50-65 & 70 MPH, THE 2007 TUNDRA PICK-UP VIBRATES AND BOUNCES TO THE POINT OF UNCOMFORTABLE AND WHAT I FEEL IS UNSAFE. IT IS AS IF ALL4-WHEELS ARE OUT OF BALANCE. NOW TOYOTA CORPORATION IS ADMITTING TO ME THAT THAY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND ARE TRYING TO COME UP WITH A FIX, HOWEVER ITS BEEN 6 MONTHS AND STIILL NO FIX FROM TOYOTA CORPORATION. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THEM ( THE DEALER REPAIR SHOPS) TWO TIMES TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND HAVE AN APPOINMENT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE ENGINEERS ON NOVEMBER 1ST 2007. I AM ALSO SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL, HOWEVER I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS A INDIVIDUAL LEMON LAW ISSUE OR A CLASS ACTION PROBLEM, AND I REALLY DO NOT CARE I JUST WANT TOYOTA TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK DUE TO THE FACT IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND IT WILL TAKE A RE-ENGINEERING OF SUSPENSION TO REPAIR, AND THAT IS BIG DEAL THAT TAKES A LONG TIME TO FIX. CAN YOU HELP ME ? FRED CURCIO *TR

1.MY TAILGATE LATCH SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AS EXPECTED AND IS FLIMSY. 2. MY TAILGATE IS WEAK AND SMALL CRACKING AT SEAMS AT SIDE WHERE NOT WELDED, AND THIS IS WITH MY 215 LB. FRAME STEPPING ON IT TO GET IN BED. I WANTED TO PURCHASE BED EXTENDER TO CARRY LONGER OBJECTS AS I HAVE DONE IN MY TRADED IN F 150 BUT TAILGATE CANNOT HANDLE MY WEIGHT MUCH LESS OBJECT. I KNOW OTHERS THAT LOAD ATV'S AND MOTORCYCLES WITH COMPLETE SEAM FAILURE, SO I DON'T DARE PUT MORE WEIGHT ON GATE. GATE CAN COME OFF EASY AS I HAVE NOTED IN FRIENDS TUNDRA WHILE HAULING WITH TAILGATE DOWN. TOYOTA DEALER BLAMED HIM FOR DOING SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN DOING WITH OUR WORK TRUCKS FOR OVER 10 YEARS. THE GATE PANEL TO ACCESS INTERNAL GATE COMPONENTS IS SO THIN THAT JUST BY PRESSING WITH HAND, I CAN BEND IT. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT A TAILGATE NEEDS TO BE MORE DURABLE IN ITS LATCHING DESIGN, WHICH MY CREWMAX IS NOT, AND DEFINITELY NOT COME APART AT SEAMS BY SOMEONE SITTING ON IT OR BEND AND FAIL. THERE IS A STANDARD IN WHICH I AS WELL AS OTHERS ARE USED TO IN TAILGATE STRENGTH AS I HAD ON 1999 F 150 WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND WITH THREE GROWN MEN SITTING ON GATE WITH COMBINED WEIGHT OF OVER 650 LBS GATE WON'T BEND AND FRAME DIDN'T COME APART AT SEAMS. I HAVE A MOTORCYCLE THAT I NOW CANNOT USE EXTENDER TO HAUL DUE TO THIS POOR DESIGN. I AM A FIRST TIME TOYOTA OWNER AND I LIKE MY TRUCK OVERALL, BUT IT IS A TRUCK AND I EXPECTED TO USE IT AS SUCH. I LIKE MY TUNDRA VERY MUCH, HOWEVER, I BELIEVE ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD CO

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX 5.7 HAS SERIOUS VIBRATION FROM 30-40 MPH. WHEN YOU LET UP ON ACCELERATOR THE PROBLEM CEASES. IF THE TRANSMISSION CHANGES GEARS THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. DEALERSHIP HAS DRIVEN THE TRUCK AND CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT FIX PROBLEM UNTIL "FIX" IS KNOWN. *TR

MY TAILGATE IS CRACKING ALONG THE INSIDE SEEM. THIS LOOKS TO BE A COMMON FLAW JUDGING BY THE TOYOTA FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. I DON'T EVEN HAVE 4000 MILES ON MY TRUCK, AND HAVE ONLY USED IT FOR LIGHT/MEDIUM DUTY. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK AND THIS LOOKS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE RADIO INCONSISTENTLY TURNS OFF OR ON BY ITSELF. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS A SHORT WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE. *TR

THE PAINT IS CHIPPING ON DOOR EDGES AND BODY FOR NO REASON THAT I CAN FIND.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH YOKOHAMA GEO LANDER HTS TIRES (TIRE SIZE P25570R18). THE DOT NUMBER WAS FBC3. THE TIRE SIZE WAS P25570R18. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS 51. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED AS HE ATTEMPTED TO STOP, WHICH PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM STOPPING. AS A RESULT, HE CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DISENGAGED FROM THE RIM. AS OF OCTOBER 17, 2007, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 17,982.

THIS TRUCK JUMPS EXCESSIVELY AND WOBBLES IN A AGGRESSIVE MATTER IT CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOSE CONTROL NOT TO MENTION LOOSE YOUR APPETITE WHEN I GOT THIS TRUCK I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS GOING TO HAVE ON OVERALL BETTER RIDE, CONTROL AND HANDLING BUT YET IT DOES NOT COMPARE TO LAST YEARS MODEL. I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IS TRYING TO LOOK INTO HOW THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT ALL I CAN SAY IS SPREAD THE WORD TELL OWNERS SPEAK UP AND FORCE THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR PAY THE BAD RAP. *JB

PLEASE SEE MY WRITE-UP ON THE TOYOTA TUNDRA FORUM WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.TUNDRATALK.NET/FORUMS/TUNDRA-PROBLEMS-DEALER-SERVICE/30988-WARNING-ACCELERATOR-STUCK.HTML. *JB THE WEB FORUM ENTRY DESCRIBES AN UNWANTED ACCELERATION INCIDENT THAT WAS CAUSED BY AN UNSECURED AFTERMARKET FLOOR MAT ENTRAPPING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AFTER APPLICATION. *DSY

HEAD BEAM AIMING CONFORMING TO MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS IS TOO HIGH BLINDING ON COMING VEHICLES. ON COMING VEHICLES FREQUENTLY FLASH OR TURN ON THEIR HIGH BEAMS PROMPTING ME TO RECIPROCATE AND AND EXACERBATING THE SITUATION. DEALER STATES THAT ALIGNMENT CANNOT BE CORRECTED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT, SPUN OUT OF CONTROL, AND THEN SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSORS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,800 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000. *UPDATED 12/12/07 *BF THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WAS REPLACED.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 TUNDRA SUSPENSION THAT CAUSES A MECHANICAL RESONANCE ON VARIOUS CONCRETE ROADS. THIS RESULTS IN A "SHAKING", "BOUNCING", "WOBBLING" THAT IS SEEMINGLY SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE INJURIES IN YOUNG OR ELDERLY PASSENGERS AT LEGAL SPEED LIMITS. FURTHERMORE THE WOBBLING COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I AM CERTAIN THAT IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED, IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO INJURY. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THIS IS "NORMAL". HOWEVER, USING ANY GOOD JUDGMENT AT ALL, I WOULD NOT CONSCIOUSLY EXPOSE AN INFANT PASSENGER TO THIS "NORMAL" WOBBLE. THIS OCCURS ON ROADS THAT CONSIST OF CONCRETE SLABS. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS AN AREA WITH SUCH HIGHWAYS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE ON I-5, I-405, I-110 TO NAME A FEW. *JB

UNRESOLVED SAFETY ISSUES WITH 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA: 1. TOWING MIRRORS VIBRATE, PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TOYOTA CASE # 200704230738. MIRRORS ARE UNUSABLE ABOVE 40MPH DUE TO VIBRATION. 2. BED BOUNCE IS SO SEVERE ON SOME ROADS, PARTICULARLY I-10 BETWEEN INDIO AND LOS ANGELES, THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CARRY ON A NORMAL CONVERSATION. DEALER RESPONSE TO BOTH ISSUES HAS BEEN THEY ALL DO THIS, SO THEY CANNOT MAKE A FIX UNTIL TOYOTA COMES UP WITH A SOLUTION. INTERNET REPORTS PROVE THAT THE DEALER IS CORRECT: ALL TUNDRAS HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. THUS THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE DEALER, BUT IS INDICATIVE OF FIRST-YEAR PRODUCTION PROBLEMS. HOPEFULLY TOYOTA CAN RESOLVE THIS TO AVOID INVOKING LEMON LAW PROTECTION. *TR

INSTRUMENTS ARE ILLEGIBLE IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT HAS CREATED THIS UNSAFE CONDITION SINCE NEW. *JB

WE BOUGHT A NEW 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB IN AUGUST. WE DISCOVERED ON CERTAIN FREEWAYS (CONCRETE) THE BED BOUNCE IS TERRIBLE. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER TRUCKS IN THE PAST AND ALL OF THEM HAVE HAD A SMALL AMOUNT OF BED BOUNCE, BUT THIS VERHICLE IS UNSAFE. THE ENTIRE TRUCK BOUNCES TO THE EXTENT THAT MY HUSBAND GETS SICK TO HIS STOMACH AFTER A 20 MINUTE DRIVE. I REFUSE TO TAKE MYSELF OR OUR GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. ONE OF THESE DAYS THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA DEALER IN OUR AREA REFUSES TO DRIVE MORE THAN A 5-10 MILE RADIUS ON A TEST DRIVE SO THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WE HAVE MENTIONED. THIS SAFTEY FACTOR NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. NO PUNCTURE WAS IDENTIFIED IN TIRE TREAD. BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/L ALENZA P275/55R20. 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREW MAX 7,900 MILES. *TR

1.EXCESSIVE CAB SHAKE, WOBBLE AND JERKINESS WHENEVER DRIVING OVER CONCRETE PAVED ROADS AT VARIETY OF SPEEDS. 2. CALLED DEALER WHO SUGGESTED: TIRE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT AND ADDING 150 LBS OF WEIGHT TO TRUCK BED. AFTER IMPLEMENTING ABOVE, TRUCK RIDE IMPROVED SLIGHTLY BUT STILL UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA TWO MONTHS AGO. WITH LESS THAN 9,000 MILES ON BRIDGESTONE DUELER TIRES, THE LEFT REAR TIRE PRETTY MUCH DISINTEGRATED WHILE TRAVELING ON I10 AT 75 MILES PER HOUR. THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE MAIN PART OF THE TIRE. THERE WAS NO BANG AND THE TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED. IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR A DESIGN FLOW. I KEPT THE REMAINS OF THE TIRE AS WELL AS THE OTHER THREE TIRES AND PURCHASED A SET OF 4 NEW TIRES OF A DIFFERENT BRAND. *TR

FRONT END VIBRATION AND SHAKING. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX SR5 WITH THE 5.7L V8. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN Y APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH FORCE TO HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE ON ITS OWN WHEN ON A HILL. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE WITH THE TRUCK IN DRIVE , BUT NOT APPLYING ANY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD WITH VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS HOW THE ENGINEERS DESIGNED IT. THEY DID AGREE TO TIGHTEN IT DOWN FURTHER AT MY REQUEST, AND WHEN THEY TRIED TO SHOW ME THAT IT WAS FIXED, IT AGAIN BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO APPLY THE NORMAL BRAKE. I WAS THEN AGAIN TOLD THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR ASSISTANCE, AND THAT I SHOULD NOT EXPECT THE PARKING BRAKE TO HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE ON ITS OWN. I ASKED HOW IT COULD ASSIST WHEN IT COULDN'T EVEN HANDLE IT ON ITS OWN, AND WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE TRUCK HAS 381 HP AND THAT'S A LOT OF HP FOR THE TRUCK TO STOP, AND WHEN I SAID THAT IT DIDN'T HAVE 381 HP AT 600 RPMS I WAS LAUGHED AT AND TOLD AGAIN THAT IT WA SONLY FOR ASSISTANCE. *AK

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DC 5.7L LIMITED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN I GOT INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ANOTHER CAR CHANGED LANES IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS FORCED TO SLAM THE BRAKES. THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED AND SLOWED VEHICLE DOWN , BUT THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING PUSHED FORWARD... BY THIS TIME I HAD ENOUGH ROOM IN FRONT OF ME, SO I LET OFF THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK JUMPED LIKE I WAS HOLDING MY FOOT ON THE GAS. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN. I SLAMMED ON THE Y BRAKES AGAIN AND THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN, AND THE TRUCK WAS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT I HELD THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH THAT I DIDN'T HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AT THIS POINT I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. I STUCK THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN I GOT STOPPED I HAD 3 LIGHTS ON ., BRAKE, VSC, AND A PICTURE OF A CAR WITH 2 CROOKED LINES ON IT. I BELIEVED IT WAS TRACTION CONTROL. BY NOW THE TRUCK WAS NORMAL AGAIN BUT THE LIGHTS WERE ON SO I TOOK THE TRUCK STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER . *AK

BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T TIRES. I LEASED A NEW 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T TIRES. TWO MONTHS AGO AND WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES HAD A SEVERE SIDE WALL BLOW OUT...SURVEYED THE WEB AND DISCOVERED SIMILAR OCCURRENCES... THANK GOD THE SPARE HAPPENED TO BE A MICHELIN. CAN'T WAIT TO RID MY VEHICLE OF THIS TRASH....YOU HAVE DUG A DEEPER HOLE IN CONSUMER COFIDENCE FIRESTONE /BRIDGESTONE! *TR

SINCE DAY ONE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK I HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THE BRAKES DON'T SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AS IT SHOULD. THAT YOU HAVE TO PUMP IT AT LEAST ONE TIME FOR THEM TO ACT NORMAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN. SOME TIMES IT IS OVER HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE YOU STOP. AND THAT IS WITH OUT PULLING A LOAD. WHEN I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP (JAY WOLFE TOYOTA OF K.C) WAS TOLD THAT "IT WAS MAGIC BRAKES" , I HAVE HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF OLD WHERE YOU GIVE IT A PUMP THEN IT WORKS. I HAVE ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL PEOPLE. THESE BRAKES ARE DANGEROUS. AND I PAID $50,000. FOR THAT. THEY DID NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT MAYBE I NEEDED TO GET USE TO THE TRUCK. *TR
