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

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

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.
