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 THE MANUFACTURER AGREED WITH THE DEALERS DIAGNOSIS AND STATED THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID.

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

TOY. 2007 5.7 CREW-MAX 4+4 P2440 CODE CAME ON AND TRUCK WENT INTO SAFETY MODE .GREATLY REDUCED SPEED . 4 LO LT. COMES ON AS WELL AS ENGINE,TRACTION AND ANTI SLIP LTS. I CARRY A HAND-HELD CODE DETECTOR AND CLEAR THE CODE AS SOON AS IT COMES UP AND CONTINUOUSLY CLEAR IT AS I'M DRIVING. TOYOTA WANTED 3400.00 TO FIX THIS DEFECT AFTER I BOUGHT 3 NEW TUNDRAS FROM THEM EVERY 3 YEARS. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR 13 MO. 8 MO. INTO IT MY TRUCK STARTED DYING AND WOULD NOT START FOR SEVERAL MIN.WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND WAS STRANDED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD MORE THAN ONCE. THIS WENT ON FOR 1 WEEK 2 DIFFERENT TIMES THAN IT STARTED RUNNING AGAIN WITH JUST THE P2440 CODE COMING UP ALL THE TIME AND SHUTTING ME DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING MY BROTHER IN LAW WHO ALSO HAD A 2007 TUNDRA EX. CAB. THEY FIXED HIS BECAUSE HE WAS ONLY 1500 MILE OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN MY TROUBLE STARTED I WAS AT 70,000+ MI. DEFECT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AMT. OF MILES,JUST TIME(AFTER 3 YRS.)AFTER 13 MO. STILL NO HELP FROM TOYOTA AND NO RECALL. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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

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
