2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB ACCELERATOR STUCK WIDE OPEN. UPON GETTING ON AN ON RAMP THE TOYOTA TRUCK ACCELERATOR STUCK WIDE OPEN. I SLAMMED MY FOOT AGAINST THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE TRYING TO GET IT UNSTUCK WITH NO SUCCESS. BY THE TIME I HIT 90 MPH I ENDED UP PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE RAN ALL THE WAY UP TO ITS TOP RPM WHILE HITTING THE REV LIMITER. I THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT INTERFERING AND THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE. STRANDED ALONG THE HIGHWAY I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CAUTIOUSLY RESTART THE VEHICLE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE RESULTED IN THE THROTTLE RETURNING TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. THIS HAPPENED SATURDAY AFTERNOON. *TR

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

I HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY FIX THE GAS PEDAL WHICH HAS MADE IT WORSE. THE TRUCK HESITATES THEN LURCHES AHEAD. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A BANGING NOISE AND DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT. IT BANGS ON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERS SHOP AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T FIX IT. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS AIR INJECTION FAILURE WHICH PUTS THE TRUCK IN "LIMP" MODE OR NO POWER. I WAS ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AND COULD NOT GET MY TRUCK ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID A MAJOR CRASH. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CHARGES $4000 FOR THE REPAIR. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 6 WEEKS. THIS IS DUE TO IMPART TO A NATIONAL RECALL. THIS SEEMS IN MY OPINION AS A WAY FOR TOYOTA TO PROFIT FROM A FAULTY DESIGN AND A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING CONDITION. *TR

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
