2007 Toyota Tundra Complaint Log

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.

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

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.. ALSO IN THE MORNINGS THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT CHANGE INTO 6TH GEAR UNTIL I DRIVE APP. 1 MILE . *TR

FLOOR MAT IN MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA SLID FORWARD CAUSING THE ACCELERATOR TO DEPRESS FULLY. AVOID CRASH BY SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE ENGINE OFF THEN DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. *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

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.

SHE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,000. UPDATED 10/21/09 *BF UPDATED 10/20/09

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

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

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

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

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

#25701-38060 EMISSION VALVE SET & CLIP FAILED. VEHICLE STARTED HAVING HESITATION (LIMP MODE) ISSUES....BECOMING NOT DRIVABLE. IT COST OUR COMPANY TIME AND MONEY. IT HAD TO BE REPAIRED A SECOND TIME THE NEXT YEAR....JUNE 29, 2010. TOYOTA IS LETTING CUSTOMERS PICK UP THE REPAIR COSTS FOR THEIR MIS-DESIGN. SERVICE DEPTS., BOTH AT SIOUX CITY IA & LINCOLN NE, STATED THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER CUSTOMERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON THE 2007 TUNDRA. *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 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE, WHICH WAS A SAFETY FEATURE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH DETERMINED THAT THE EMISSION CONTROL VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE RECURRED AND THE DEALER STATED THE ENTIRE EMISSIONS SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED WITH THE DEALERS DIAGNOSIS AND STATED THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER GIVEN A REASON WHY THE VEHICLE WOULD RESORT TO A LIMP MODE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER RUMBLE STRIP AND FAILURE. *TR

SINCE THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE RUST. IT WAS 2 YES OLD WITH 17,000 MILES ON IT. THE BED AND FRAME ARE BADLY RUSTED. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT FRAME AND THEY APPLIED SOME WEIRD BLACK STUFF. TOTAL NIGHTMARE. THE BED ,EVEN THOUGH I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN THEY SAY TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING AT MORE THEN 5 DEALERSHIP'S SINCE 2009 AND CALLED CORPORATE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE BED IS DANGEROUS AND HAS BEEN. THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE,.AROUND MOUNTING BOLTS, EVENTUALLY BED WILL SEPARATE FROM FRAME. VERY CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WON'T HONOR . NEXT PROBLEM THAT THEY ALSO HAVE AN UPDATED WARRANTY WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT. SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FAILS ,WHICH IS AN EMISSIONS COMPONENT. CRITICAL TO KEEP EMISSIONS LOW.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

DECEMBER 2008, WHILE DRIVING A RENTED TOYOTA 4X4 TUNDRA THE FRONT AIRBAGS 1/2 DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE, NO ACCIDENT, NO COLLISION, JUST A BUMPY PAVED COUNTY ROAD - FM1431 GEORGETOWN/ROUND ROCK TX AREA...AND THE LONGHORN CAR & TRUCK RENTAL COMPANY HAS OFFERED NOTHING IN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY.

WAS ON MY WAY TO A JOB-SITE ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN 9AM-10AM APPOX. GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FAST LANE. THERE WAS A CONCRETE WALL ON MY LEFT AND A SUV ON THE RIGHT. THE SUV STARTED COMING INTO MY LANE I PUT MY BRAKES ON SUDDENLY TO HAVE THE IMPACT BE AT A SLOWER SPEED BUT AS I PUSHED DOWN ON THEM THEY FELL TO THE FLOOR SO I WAS TAKEN OUT AT 65 MILES AN HOUR. THE MAN WAS A RN NURSE WHO PULLED A GRAVEYARD SHIFT AND WAS DOSING OFF. HE ADMITTED IT WAS HIS FAULT AND THE COP SAID NO REPORT WOULD BE MADE BECAUSE THE LAW IS NO AMBULANCES NO REPORT. I DEMANDED A REPORT AND HE SAID THAT IS CALIFORNIA'S NEW LAW. TOLD TOYOTA ABOUT THE BRAKES FALLING TO THE FLOOR. THERE ANSWER IS " THAT IT WAS NORMAL". THEY INSPECTED THE ENGINE FOR DAMAGE. THEY NEVER INSPECTED THE BRAKES.. I AM NOW GOING THROUGH TOYOTA CORPORATION DEMANDING BRAKE INSPECTION! TRUCK WENT TO THE BODY SHOP TO BE REPAIRED.... *JS

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. 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

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

1. A SECTION OF AIR CONDUIT FELL ACROSS BRAKE PEDAL. 2. ONCE, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE. 3. REMOVED PART. *TR

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

AFTER THE POLICE CAME AND TALKED WITH BOTH OF US, THE OTHER PARTY ADMITTED GUILT SO SINCE THERE WERE NO AMBULANCES AND THE OTHER PARTY STATED GUILT (NO POLICE REPORT WAS MADE). I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO TOYOTA AND ASKED ABOUT THE BRAKE FALLING TO THE FLOOR THE NEXT DAY . THEIR ANSWER WAS" IT WAS NORMAL!" THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE FOR DAMAGE . THEN IT WENT TO MIKES AUTOBODY FOR BODY DAMAGE. THEY NEVER INSPECTED THE BRAKES, AS THEY FELT IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE.

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE VEHICLE HAS BRIDGESTONE FIRESTONE TIRES. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TIRE EXPLODED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

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. 2008) TO THIS ONE BUT WAS ABLE TO RECOVER QUICKLY BY HITTING THE BRAKES AND PRESUMED THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. TOYOTA REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR ASSY BUT WOULD NOT SAY WHETHER THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY CAUSED BY THE AFTERMARKET FLOOR MATS THAT I PURCHASED AT THE DEALERSHIP. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PEDAL DROPPED FROM UNDER MY FOOT WITHOUT MY INTERVENTION. TOYOTA HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY CALLS. *TR

BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. NOTICED AROUND 23,450 MILES THAT SOMETHING WAS TURNING (SPINNING) AND FELT LIKE IT WAS COMING THROUGH THE DRIVERSIDE FLOOR . RIGHT UNDERNEATH MY FEET. BROUGHT IT IN TOYOTA SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. LATER HEARD NOISES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE NEAR LEFT TIRE. THEN SHAKING AND VIBRATIONS FOLLOWED. AROUND 60,000 MILES TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND CLUNKING NOISES CAME FROM THE ENGINE. 65,000 MILES STARTED LOSING POWER. FUEL PUMP FAILURE. PAID FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP SYSTEM $777.79. TURNS OUT 2007 MODEL HAS TO REPLACE WHOLE SYSTEM. NO OTHER TUNDRA NEEDS TO. AT 68,000 MILES IT GOT WORSE . TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTIC SAYS TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. $4500. AT 96,000 MILES MY TRUCK IN NON OPERATING. TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE TRANSMISSION. EVEN THOUGH A TOYOTA OPERATIONS MANAGER STATES IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT THIS SOON AT SO LITTLE MILEAGE. THE AVERAGE TIME IS BETWEEN 15-20 YEARS WITH THE HIGH TECHNOLOGY THAT CARS ARE BUILT WITH NOW A DAYS. IS WHAT HE SAID TO ME. OLDER CARS BUILT YEARS AGO TRANSMISSIONS NORMALLY LAST AROUND 5 YEARS SOMETIMES 10 IF THEY WERE LUCKY. SO SUPPOSEDLY OUR VEHICLES ARE BUILT SMARTER NOW ADAYS. I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. *JS

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

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

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

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 REPAIR. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE I HAD A FRIEND ASK ME IF I LOOKED INTO THE NTSB.GOV WEBSITE, AND I SAID NO, WE THEN PROCEEDED TO THE SITE AND IT TOOK APPROX. 10 SECONDS TO SEE A RELATED OCCURRENCE WITH A 2007 TUNDRA WITH 16,000 MILES AND HAPPENED TWICE TO THE INDIVIDUAL. I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE PARKING THIS TRUCK THINKING THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION AND WHAT CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN AT WILL IS UNCLEAR. *TR

WHEN STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT/STOP SIGN FROM 40-50MPH, THE TRUCK STOPS NORMALLY. AFTER ABOUT 1.5 SECONDS WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRUCK GIVES A KICK. IT IS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT IT FEELS AS IF YOU HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. THE WHOLE TRUCK SHUTTERS. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO GIVES THE, "I CAN'T DUPLICATE IT" SPIELS. MY TRANNY FLUID WAS LOW DUE TO A LEAKING REAR SEAL SO THEY BLAMED IT ON THAT. THEY CHANGED THE ALUMINUM FRONT DRIVESHAFT AS THEY STATED IT CAUSED THE LEAK. PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY. DOES NOT HAPPEN AT ANY OTHER TIME. SUSPECT THE FIRST GEAR CLUTCH PACKS ARE RELEASING AND RE-ENGAGING. COULD BE MECHANICAL BUT IT IS ALSO A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ECU. SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE 2007-UP CAMRY WHICH WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE TORQUE CONVERTER. *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

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

SEVERE REAR END OSCILLATIONS/BOUNCING CAUSING BLURRED VISION ON PART OF DRIVER WHEN TRAVELING ON CONCRETE HIGHWAYS/FREEWAYS AT ANY SPEED. *TR

ESTO ES UNA PICK UP TOYOTA TUNDRA DEL 2007.ESTACIONE EL VEHICULO Y EMPUJE LA PALANCA DE LA TRASMISION A PARKING Y PENSE QUE ESTAVA EN PARQUING, LUEGO PUSE EL SUITCH EN OFF PERO LA PALANCA NUNCA CALLO EN PARQUING DEVIDO A QUE UNA PIEZA DE PASTA QUE SIRVE DE TAPAFALTA EN LA PALANCA DE CAMBIOS DE LA TRASMISION SE ROMPIO Y ATORO LA PALANCA Y SE QUEDO EN REVERSA. LO QUE PROVOCO QUE EL VEHICULO SE PRESIPITARA POR UN BARRANCO. FUE PERDIDA TOTAL.POR SUERTE NO HUBO MUERTOS. *TR
