2007 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

RETURNING HOME FROM A SHORT DRIVE OF ABOUT FOUR MILES, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE. ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING THE ACCELERATOR REVVED VERY HIGH. I PUSHED DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLE STILL LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE GARAGE DOOR AND SIDE WALL CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING AND VEHICLE. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO KILL THE ENGINE. THE OEM FLOOR MATS WERE IN PLACE AND DID NOT AFFECT THE PEDAL. NO PERSONAL INJURIES - JUST A VERY SHAKEN FAMILY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING INTO THE GARAGE AND ATTEMPTING TO PARK WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AND STRUCK A TABLE AND A WALL. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT NO LONGER WANTS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 6,400.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR GOING INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT SHIFTER MOVING OUT OF DRIVE. *TR

ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA V6 4X4 AFTER ABRUPTLY BRAKING AND COMING TO A STOP THE TRUCK WILL LUNGE FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER AN ABRUPT STOP. THE AC IS NOT ON NOR IS CRUISE CONTROL AND I'M NOT IN 4WD. *TR

BRAKES AND UNATTENDED ACCELERATION FAILURE DUE TO DESIGN PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL. BRAKE PEDAL 1 INCH CLOSER AND ONE LOWER TO THE FLOOR BOARD GAS PEDAL. SHOE IS RESTING SLIGHTLY ON GAS PEDAL AS YOU ARE BRAKING. THE AVERAGE SIZE SHOE WILL HIT THE GAS PEDAL AS YOU ARE BRAKING. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TACOMA SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER DEFECT. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER ARE OFF BY 9%. CONSUMER STATES HE IS UNABLE TO ACCURATELY JUDGE HIS SPEED AND HE COULD POSSIBLY GET A TICKET.*KB

TRUCK SURGES FORWARD WHEN BRAKES ARE ON BUT IT HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. MY TOYOTA TACOMA 2007 WILL START REVVING AND RED LINE AND BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP WITHOUT TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND USING THE E-BRAKE. THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH IT AND TOYOTA DENIES TO ADMIT ANYTHING IS WRONG. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO TOYOTA AND THIS TIME I WAS IN A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT STOP. *TR

NEW 07 TOYOTA TACOMA ACCESS CAB 2WD WITH 400 MILES ON IT EMITS LOUD WIND NOISE FROM WINDSHIELD AREA AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AROUND 70MPH+. SOUND WAS MORE LIKE A SCREECH THAN A WHISTLE AND WILL LIKELY DISTRACT MOST DRIVERS FROM FOCUSING ON ROAD AS IT DID ME. I DROVE IT AROUND FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND FOUND THE PROBLEM COULD BE RE-PRODUCED ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME ON THE FREEWAY AT THE RIGHT SPEED. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED A TSB ABOUT IT BEING A BAD SEAL ON THE WINDSHIELD. (I DID NOT FIND THE TSB ON THE INTERNET YET, BUT IT COULD BE QUITE NEW AND NOT YET POSTED) AS THE TRUCK IS WELL UNDER WARRANTY, THEY PROMPTLY ARRANGED TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD COMPLETELY RE-SEALED. IT'S ONLY BEEN ONE DAY SINCE, BUT SO FAR THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE REPAIRED. TACOMA OWNERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS IT COULD PRESENT A SAFETY PROBLEM JUST BY HOW DISTRACTING IT IS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TACOMA PICK-UP TRUCK. THE BRAKES HAVE FADED OR MALFUNCTIONED 4 TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT AND THE FACTORY REPS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WENT THROUGH ONE INTERSECTION AND CROSSED TWO MERIDIANS INTO TRAFFIC WITH NO BRAKES OR VERY LITTLE. IT ALSO DID IT ONE TIME BEHIND A SEMI WHRE I COULD NOT STOP AS HE WAS BRAKING. IT SEEMS TO ACT UP WHEN THE AIR-CONDITIONING IS ON ALONG WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL OR JUST THE AIR-CONDITIONING. I CANT REALLY TELL WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. EVENTUALLY, I AM GOING TO GET KILLED OR SOMEONE ELSE IS. PLEASE HELP RESPECTFULLY, ANDREW W. EJMA SMC USN RETIRED *TR
