2007 Toyota Tundra Complaint Log

T-SB-0101-12. TOYOTA DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THIS TSB. I DID NOT DISCOVER THE ISSUE UNTIL 2 MONTHS AFTER MY 60 MONTH SERVICE DATE. THE DEALERSHIP FORTS TOYOTA OF PEKIN ILLINOIS WOULD NOT HELP ME. CONTACT AT TOYOTA CORPORATE THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE IT WAS PAST MY 60 MONTHS SERVICE THEY COULD NOT HELP ME EITHER. SO NOW I'M LEFT WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS RUSTING APART THAT I PAID OVER $30,000 FOR. I HAVE BEEN ASKING AND CALLING FOR OVER 2 YEARS, AND NOW I WAS LED TO THIS WEBSITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE JUST RECENTLY.

TURNED THE TRUCK ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON, 4 LO AND VSC OFF LIGHTS WERE BOTH FLASHING, THE TRUCK SOUNDED NOTICEABLY LOUDER AND NOW HAS A LOSS OF POWER. CODES SHOW P2440. *JS

TRUCK WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC. WILL NOT REACH SAFE SPEED FOR FREEWAY COMMUTE. *JS

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. INITIALLY, MY TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE CENTER ON 3/15/2012 TO AN ISSUE WITH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT, 4-WHEEL DRIVE (4LO), VSC OFF ALL CAME ON, SLUGGISH ACCELERATION/LOSS OF ACCELERATION OCCURRED WHEN DRIVEN & MY GAS MILEAGE/FUEL EFFICIENCY DECREASED (MY TRUCK APPEARED TO 'RUN RICH'). INITIALLY THE WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD OCCASIONALLY STAY ON WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STARTED, OTHER TIMES THEY WOULD NOT. EVENTUALLY, THEY JUST STAYED ON WHENEVER THE TRUCK WAS STARTED. WHEN SERVICED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS COVERED BY MY WARRANTY & THE SECONDARY AIR SWITCHING VALVE WAS REPLACED WHICH SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE. JUST OVER A YEAR LATER, 3/19/2013, THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AFTER BEING TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED! THE MILEAGE THAT THIS OCCURRED AT WAS AROUND 44,000. THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENTING IN THE SAME WAY - LOSS OF ACCELERATION/SLUGGISH ACCELERATION (EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT TO HAVE ACCELERATION WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE), THE SAME WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON & THE GAS MILEAGE/FUEL EFFICIENCY DECREASED BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS 'RUNNING RICH' AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER TO MAKE SURE I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN GAVE THE ERROR CODE OF P2440 WHICH IS AN ERROR CODE FOR THE AIR INTAKE PUMP. HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE MAKE OF TRUCK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHERE THIS PROBLEM WAS INITIALLY DIAGNOSED & 'FIXED' THE FIRST TIME. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT THE ISSUE IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS LAST TIME. HOWEVER, THIS TECHNICIAN HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE REASON THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED YET AGAIN, IS BECAUSE THERE IS A PASSENGER SIDE & A DRIVER SIDE PART. THE ONE REPLACED LAST YEAR WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS TIME, IT'S THE DRIVERS SIDE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

HELLO, TWO DAY AGO I WAS PULLING PUT OF MY CONDO COMPLEX WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS SMOKE AND VERY SMALL FLAMES STARTED TO POUR OUT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR PANEL WHERE THE SWITCHES ARE LOCATED. THERE WAS NO MAJOR FIRE DAMAGE BUT THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE AND THE SWITCH THAT OPERATES THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW MELTED DOWN. I FORTUNATELY HAD SOME TOOLS NEARBY SO I QUICKLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES AS IT WAS STILL ARCING AND SPARKING. THE ONLY SWITCH THAT WORKS PROPERLY IS THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOLD MY CO WORKER ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. TODAY HE SHOWED ME THE AUTOBLOG.COM ARTICLE REGARDING THE STORY ABOUT TOYOTAS WINDOW SWITCHES CATCHING FIRE. HOW DO I GO ABOUT REPORTING THIS TO YOU GUYS OR SOMEONE ELSE. MY TRUCK IS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB 4.7 V8 2WD TRD. *TR

ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 40 MPH BUT THE VIBRATION IS PRESENT AT ANY SPEED. THE PROBLEM FELT LIKE POSSIBLY WARPED ROTORS SO THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM REMAINS AT ANY SPEED AND IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BOLT FOR THE FUEL TANK FRACTURED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO RUST AND THE FUEL TANK STRAPS WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THEY WOULD EXTEND HIS WARRANTY TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000. UPDATED 01/29/13*LJ UPDATED 1/30/2013 *JS

BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD DID NOT APPEAR/ OR NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL THAT BRAKES IS NOT TOTALLY WORKING AND WE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE A FULL SIZE DODGE RAM PICK UP HIT ME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY TOYOTA. IT HIT ME ON THE FRONT FENDER AND SLIGHTLY ON THE FRONT OF THE DOOR. WHEN I WAS HIT ON THE SIDE MY SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN I WAS HIT MY HEAD IT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND KNOCKED ME OUT. WHICH IN TURN MY TRUCK WAS STILL IN MOTION WHILE I WAS KNOCKED OUT AND I PROCEEDED TO GO THROUGH A LADIES YARD AND CAME TO A STOP ONCE IT HIT HER SHED HEAD ON, WHICH THOSE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. I HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL HAVE A CT SCAN DONE. I SUFFER FROM HEAD ACHES, NECK PAIN AND SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS. I ALSO HAD TO MISS TWO DAYS OF WORK. THE WRECK WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH IT TOTALED BOTH FULL SIZE PICK UPS. *TR

MY VEHICLE SET A DTC P2440 FOR THE SECONDARY AIR INDUCTION VALVE STUCK OPEN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN UNDER WATER OR OFF ROAD. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW/ENGINEERING DEFECT THAT TOYOTA CREATED AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS A RECALL FOR ALL AFFECTED MODELS FOR REPLACEMENT FOR A BETTER OR REDESIGNED PART. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT FOR THE AFFECTED PARTS IS BEYOND REASONABLE FOR ALL TOYOTA OWNERS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THERE FLAW. I PULLED OUT ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD AND HAD NO POWER AND WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. ITS NOT SAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I WAS REAR-ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER AND RAMMED INTO THE BACK OF A FORD F250. THE DAMAGE WAS IN EXCESS OF $12,500. FRAME DAMAGE OCCURRED. THE REAR WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED. I SUSTAINED A NECK INJURY TO INCLUDE TWO HERNIATED DISKS. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY AND THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE BLACK BOX IN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE RECORDED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION UNLESS A CRASH OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 09V388000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE NOT PERFORMED AT THE CONTACTS REQUEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,921.

CIRCULANDO A UNA VELOCIDAD DE 50 MPH, DE REPENTE SE APAGA POR COMPLETO TODO EL MOTOR Y LA ACELERACION SE DETIENE POR COMPLETO CAUSANDO UN GRAVE MOMENTO DE NO SABER QUE HACER Y NO VOLVIO A ENCENDER NUNCA HASTA DESPUES DE HABER VISITADO UN TALLER..UPDATED 04-05-13 *BF *TR

I TOOK MY TUNDRA IN FOR THE GAS PEDAL RECALL REPAIR, NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES PRIOR. EVER SINCE THE "FIX" WAS PERFORMED, I HAVE AN UNCONTROLLED LURCHING WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP. *JS

AFTER THE DEALER COMPLETED THE ACCELERATOR RECALL, MY TRUCK NOW HAS A SLIGHT STALL WHEN TAKING OFF AND IF THERE IS ANY ROUGHNESS IN DRIVING SURFACE, THE TRUCK DOES THIS LURCHING/ACCELERATION AT EACH BUMP. IT'S ALMOST LIKE WHEN THEY REPROGRAMMED THE ACCELERATOR, THEY MADE IT TOO SENSITIVE. I WASN'T HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE PEDAL PRIOR TO THEIR "FIX" BUT THEY FORCED ME TO HAVE THE "REPAIR" DONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEGAN TO STICK WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTACTS VEHICLE HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL ACCELERATOR PEDAL) RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL; THE FAILURE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

2 AIR INDUCTION PUMPS (AIP) AND ASSOCIATED VALUES FAILURE AROUND 60K MILES. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE IS MOISTURE. NEW PUMPS AND VALVES CAN BE INSTALLED FOR $4000 OR IF YOU ARE LUCKY AND YOU ONLY NEED TO REPLACE ONE PUMP AND BOTH VALVES IT ONLY COST $2150. THE NEW PUMPS AND VALUES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED SO THEY SHOULD NOT FAILURE AS FAST AS ORIGINALS. IF THE NEW PUMPS AND VALVES HAD TO BE "MODIFIED" THEN IT LEADS ONE TO BELIEVE THE ORIGINALS HAD A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4.7L ENGINE P2442 CODE ENGINE IN LIMP MODE. SECONDARY AIR INTAKE VALVE FAILED IN OPEN POSITION. 62000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE SYSTEM THAT FAILS IF DRIVEN IN WET CONDITIONS DUE TO POOR AIR FAN INTAKE DESIGN. IT SITS IN THE WHEEL WELL AND IS WET ALL THE TIME. THIS LEADS TO WATER BEING PUSHED INTO THE AIR VALVE CAUSING IT TO FAIL. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ERROR P2442 REPORTED. 75K MILES ON TRUCK WITH AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM VALVE STICKING DUE TO WHAT APPEAR TO BE WATER INTRUSION. THE FAILURE STARTED OUT INTERMITTENTLY, THEN BECAME CONSISTENT. COST $1000 TO REPLACE BOTH VALVES IN EACH AIR INDUCTION BANK. WORRIED THAT THE PUMPS WILL FAIL IN THE NEAR FUTURE. UNHAPPY TOYOTA CUSTOMER. POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR INJECTION PUMP WAS SUFFERING FROM WATER INTRUSION. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A COMMON ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

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 NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT OR EVEN OFFER A DISCOUNT, JUST A SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK! *TR

1ST WEEK OF APRIL, 2011, 2007 TUNDRA WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE, HOOKED UP TESTER, SAID P2442 CODE. COMMON PROBLEM, ON THESE TRUCKS, FROM WHAT DEALER TOLD ME. ORDERED PARTS, AT THAT TIME. $1500.00 OF PARTS ORDERED. TOOK 9 WEEKS, TO GET PARTS. A VERY DANGEROUS TRUCK TO DRIVE, WITH THIS SITUATION. CAN'T PARK IT, TO WAIT 9 WEEKS, FOR PARTS, STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. NO POWER, DANGEROUS ON FREEWAY, OR ANY WHERE ELSE. TOYOTA WAS STILL SENDING NEW TRUCKS, TO BE SOLD, WHEN, THEY COULD HAVE SENT PARTS, TO FIX THIS VERY EXPENSIVE, AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IF THIS IS AN EMISSIONS ISSUE, SHOULDN'T A RECALL BE MADE, AND AT LEAST PRTS TO FIX, BE REIMBURSED? HAVE PURCHASED 5 NEW TOYOTAS, FOR FAMILY AND BUSINESS, OVER LAST 10 YEARS, WILL LOOK ELSEWHERE, NEXT TIME I TRADE. I WENT FROM DOMESTIC, TO TOYOTA, FOR THE SAME REASON, 10 YEARS AGO. NOW TOYOTA IS ACTING LIKE FORD AND GM, DID, AT THAT TIME./ WILL BUY GM OR FORDS NEXT TIME. TOYOTA HAS TREATED ME LIKE CRAP, AT THE DEALER LEVEL, AND ON THE CORPORATE LEVEL. THESE PARTS ARE ONLY COVERED 3 YEAR/36,000 MILES. TOYOTA KNOWS THAT THESE PARTS, ARE DEFECTIVE!! IF THE PARTS ARE SMOG RELATED, NEED TO HAVE A RECALL!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VSC-OFF, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LOW, CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT BEGAN TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED FAR LESS POWER THAN NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR INJECTION PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE REPAIRS FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ASSISTED WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,500.

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

FAILED INSPECTION CODE P2440,2441 TOOK TO TOYOTA DEALER CHECKED P2240 .NEED TO REPLACE AIR PUMP,AIR SWITCH VALVE BANK AND BANK 2.COST $2700 . THIS IS SECOND TIME FAILED. LAST YEAR AIR PUMP FAILED. TOYOTA DEALER ESTIMATED $4000 REPLACE. I DID BUY AIR PUMP ANG REPLACE IT ,COST ME $ 1100. MILEAGE WERE 69329 AND THIS TIME 101,450. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB LIMITED 4X4. I STARTED NOTICING RUST DEVELOPING IN MY TRUCK BOX IN MARCH 2011. I REPORTED IT TO TOYOTA IN CANADA AS THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IMPORTED FROM THE USA INTO CANADA FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER BACK IN 2007. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT TOYOTA USA FOR CORROSION WARRANTY. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO RECALL FOR THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING AND I WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER CORROSION WARRANTY BECAUSE MY TRUCK HAD BEEN EXPORTED OUT OF THE USA. IT WAS NOT UNTIL A FEW YEARS LATER I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AS WELL AS AN ISSUE OF FRAME RUSTING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CANADA TO SEE IF MY TRUCK WOULD BE COVERED. I WAS TOLD THAT ONCE AGAIN THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT WOULD HAVE TO MANAGED BY TOYOTA USA. I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS OVER THE 5 YEAR UNLIMITED MILEAGE AS WELL MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN EXPORTED FROM THE USA SO EITHER WAY IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN COVERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR PUMP AND VALVE SET FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME RESISTANT TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THE DEALER ADVISED HER THAT THE PUMP AND THE VALVE SET WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED TO PAY FOR FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,000.

SUDDEN DECREASE IN POWER , DASH LIGHTS COME ON DROVE TO DEALER SHIP , THEY SAID IT WAS THE AIR INTAKE VALVE THAT WAS BAD THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THEY SAID MOISTURE BUILDS UP AND MAKES THE INTAKE VALVE STICK THEY REPLACED THE VALVE AT A COST OF $1,682.00 HAD I BEEN MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY POWER UP TO 35 MILES PER HOUR.*TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA, I WAS TAKING MY TUNDRA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I STARTED LOSING POWER ON MY TRUCK I HAD THEM CHECK IT. TOYOTA CAME BACK AND SAID THAT FUEL VAPOR SWITCHING VALVE WAS STUCK CLOSED, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION THEY FOUND THAT A SECONDARY INJECTION PUMP WAS STUCK OPEN, THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE IT BACK TO TOYOTA FOR CLARIFICATION. 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

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4.7. APPROXIMATELY 124,000 KMS ENGINE WENT INITO LIMP MODE. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS AIR PUMP AND VALVE BANK FAILURE, $4700 REPAIR ESTIMATE. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OVER 100,000 KMS. ALSO PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER THESE PARTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. (GO FIGURE) PURSUED THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY WHICH COVERS EMISSION CONTROL PARTS, HOWEVER TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS NOT PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH THE AIR PUMP CONTROLS EMISSIONS AT VEHICLE START UP. TOOK THE PUMP OFF THE VEHICLE AND DRAINED THE WATER FROM THE POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM, LUBRICATED THE PUMP AND GOT IT WORKING. TRUCK WENT BACK INTO LIMP MODE AFTER A COUPLE DAYS NOW APPARENTLY VALVE BANK IS STUCK. TOYOTA STILL RECOMMENDS REPLACING ALL THE PARTS FOR $4700. NOT HAPPY WITH TOYOTA THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL THE PUMP IS LOCATED IN THE FENDER WELL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF RIGHT FRONT TIRE, THE INTAKE PIPE FOR THE PUMP IS DESIGNED SO THAT ANY WATER PRESENT GOES DIRECTLY INTO THE PUMP CAUSING THE SYSTEM FAILURE. IT WOULD BE A PRETTY SIMPLE FIX FOR TOYOTA JUST PUT A 90 DEGREE BEND IN THE PIPE SO THAT WATER CANNOT GET IN AND REPOSITION THE INTAKE HOLE. TRYING TO SELL TUNDRA IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED. *KB

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 STARTING DATE AND MILEAGE ABOVE IS APPROXIMATE. A SENSATION OF BEING REAR-ENDED A KIND OF BUMP OR CLUNK. YOUR STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND THEN CLUNK. OR, JUST BEFORE TAKING OFF FROM BEING STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION "CLUNK". THE FREQUENCY OF THIS SYMPTOM STARTED OFF AS JUST ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN FIRST NOTICED AT AROUND 36K MILES. NOW WITH 58,000 IT HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS, SAY, EVERY 50 MILES OR SO. I KEEP A MILEAGE LOG FOR MY BUSINESS AND BEGAN DOCUMENTING WHEN THIS OCCURS. I PRESENTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER TWICE BUT HAVE FAILED TO REPLICATE IT FOR THEM TO EXPERIENCE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 WHITE TUNDRA. MY PAINT ON THE TUNDRA IS NOW DULL. FADING AND BEGINNING TO PEAL. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE TOP COAT BEGAN FOUR YEARS INTO OWNING THE VEHICLE. I'VE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD IT'S MY FAULT. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WHICH TELLS ME THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS. THE PAINT ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IS MATTE; NO SHINE. NO WAX WILL BRING THE SHINE BACK. STAINS FROM TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP ARE CONSISTENTLY VISIBLE AND WILL NOT WASH OUT OF THE PAINT. TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR THE BAD PAINT.

BOUGHT 4 NEW HANKOOK DYNAPRO MT IN SIZE LT275-65-18 ON 8/10/2009. AS OF 12/29/10 THESE TIRES HAVE SERIOUS SIDEWALL CRACKING AND DISCOUNT TIRE SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THESE ASAP AS THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THEY ONLY HAVE ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON THEM. I DID SOME SEARCHING AND IT APPEARS THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THE VEHICLE SKIDDED ACROSS THE ROADWAY WHILE SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND EXHIBITING AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP BY SHIFTING INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE OR REPAIRS. 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 CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALIGNMENT CAUSED PREMATURE WEAR OF THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,150.

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. CODE P2440 WAS GIVEN AND WE REALLY DO NOT WANT TO RETURN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER DUE TO LACK OF QUALITY SALES AND SERVICE. ALSO DO NOT HAVE THE ESTIMATED $1300+ TO FIX PROBLEM. HELP TOYOTA, WHY DO WE READ THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TUNDRAS HAVING 50K+ MILES? *TR

AT START UP OF THE VEHICLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. ENGINE WAS VERY UNRESPONSIVE. ACCELERATION WAS VERY SLOW AND THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY ABLE TO REACH 45 MPH ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. TOOK IT THE THE DEALER WHO SAID ISSUE WAS P2440, STUCK VALVE, AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM FAILURE.

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. THE CONTACT THEN APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UNTIL BEING SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF DIAGNOSING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 23,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT NOTICED TWO PLASTIC PIECES THAT SURROUND THE GEAR SHIFT WERE BENT AND HAD CRUMBLED WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFT IN THE DESIRED GEAR. THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME CAUGHT IN BETWEEN THE PLASTIC. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUSH THE PLASTIC DOWN IN ORDER TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN THE PARK POSITION UNTIL THE CONTACT PUSHED THE TWO PLASTIC PIECES DOWNWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE TWO PLASTIC COVER PIECES ATTACHED TO THE GEAR SHIFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA ON MAPLE AVENUE, ITHACA, NEW YORK, GOING WEST JUST BEFORE THE INTERSECTION OF ROUTE 366. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 22 MPH. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LURCHED AND ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. I WAS APPLYING A CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNWANTED ACCELERATION WITH THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK IT INTO MY TOYOTA DEALER FOR GAS PEDAL REPAIRS PER THE RECALL. TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 5:20 PM ON 10/5/2010. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE CONTACT HEARD A POPPING NOISE NEAR THE DRIVE LINE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BEARINGS. THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO REPAIR. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE RESPONDED AS IF IT WERE GOING TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED SINCE THE VEHICLE COULD POTENTIALLY BREAK DOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

7/2007 PURCHASED 07 TUNDRA W/MAINT PLAN&EXTENDED WARRANTY 9/2010 4342MILES SOUTHCOAST TOYOTA-MAINTENANCE,WE ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT SURFACE RUST. THEY NOTED IT AND SAID WAS DUE TO SALT AIR 2/2012 6504MILES SOUTHCOAST TOYOTA TO PERFORM BRAKE SERVICE. APPARENTLY BRAKE PAD HAD FALLEN OFF DUE TO CORROSION OF CALIPERS & PINS AND THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT WOULD BE TOO MUCH TO REPAIR BUT REFUSE TO EVEN GIVE US ESTIMATE. THEY SAID THE CORROSION HAS COMPROMISED THE SAFETY OF THE TRUCK, BUT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ENOUGH AND THAT'S WHY IT IS RUSTED SO BADLY ALL OVER (TRUCK WAS DRIVEN LOCALLY AT LEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES A WEEK BY ELDERLY COUPLE). WE REQUESTED A COPY OF FIELD REPS REPORT, BUT THEY SAID IT IS PROPRIETARY INFO WE DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO. SERVICE MANAGER RUDELY ASKED US TO REMOVE OUR TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BUT WE CANNOT DRIVE IT OFF BECAUSE BRAKES NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. WERE TOLD TO TAKE THE 5 YR OLD TRUCK WITH 6500 MILES TO THE JUNK YARD. DURING 2010 MAINTENANCE WHEN THEY WERE AWARE OF CORROSION, WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF POSSIBLE BRAKE FAILURE OR WEAKENED STRUCTURE DUE TO RUST THAT WOULD OCCUR IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS TIME. INSTEAD ELDERLY COUPLE CONTINUED DRIVING VEHICLE UNTIL UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT BEING ADVISED OF HOW SEVERE OF CONDITION THE TRUCK IS. THEY HAVE LIVED BY THE BEACH (2 MILES FROM DEALERSHIP) FOR 30 YRS & OWNED A FEW TRUCKS, NEVER RUST SO BAD. TOYOTA IS FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS HURT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE & THEY SHOULD DO WHAT THEY CAN TO TAKE THIS UNSAFE TRUCK OFF THE ROADS. INSTEAD THEY DENY ANY POSSIBILITY THAT THE CORROSION MAY BE A DEFECT & IS ALLOWING THIS TRUCK TO POSSIBLY END UP BEING DRIVEN SINCE THEY ARE WILLING TO RELEASE IT. ITS OBVIOUS THIS IS NOT THE 1ST TOYOTA KNOWN TO HAVE CORROSION ISSUE AND THOUGH NOT PERFORATION, THE RUST IS AN OVERSIGHT BY TOYOTA. *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

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
