TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000- VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL) AND HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. SINCE THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXHIBITING INSTANCES OF INCREASED ENGINE RPMS AND RAPID ACCELERATION EVEN WHEN MINIMAL PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITH ACCELERATION BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED BUT NEITHER WAS WILLING TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,600 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,630.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB SHORT BED TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS A REOCCURING RESONATING BOUNCE WHEN DRIVING ON CONCRETE ROADS BETWEEN 70 AND 80 MPH. THE BOUNCE IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAN BECOME SEVERE. ONLY A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN SPEED WILL STOP THE BOUNCING. SEVERAL ON LINE FORUMS ARE CALLING THIS PROBLEM "BED BOUNCE"

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK. THERE WAS EXCESSIVE FORCE APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE PEDAL RELEASED. THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT WAS REMOVED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND HAD THE GAS PEDAL FIXED LAST WEEK UNDER THE RECALL. SINCE THE REPAIR MY GAS PEDAL IS SUPER SENSITIVE TO PRESSURE. THE FRICTION TO PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN IS CONSIDERABLY LESS AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO LUNGE AS I ACCELERATE UNEVENLY. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE ON A BUMPY ROAD WHEN THE PRESSURE FROM MY FOOT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN AT AN EVEN PRESSURE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND NO ONE HAS EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. I HAVE SPENT THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR STORIES AND FOUND A COUPLE. IN MY OPINION THIS IS MORE SERIOUS THAN BEFORE THE SO CALLED FIX. I WANT THIS FIXED AND DO NOT SEEM TO BE GETTING ANYWHERE UNTIL MORE PEOPLE COME FORWARD. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 4.7L THAT DOESN'T LIKE TO START ALL THE TIME. WHILE THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE I BELIEVE YOU ARE LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. AS A FORMER MECHANIC/CURRENT ELECTRICIAN/AS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING I BELIEVE MY PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY ELECTRICAL IN NATURE. I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED BUT I FIGURED I WOULD SEND A MESSAGE AND GIVE YOU A HEADS UP. ALSO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN IN TOWN HERE HAS THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE BOTH BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY STILL WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. TODAY I AM SENDING MY PAPERWORK TO A LAW FIRM WHO SPECIALIZES IN THE PA LEMON LAW. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE. THEY JUST DID THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK LAST WEEK AND I'M GOING ON A LONG TRIP TOMORROW SO WISH ME LUCK! LOL THANKS! *TR

ON SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 2010 AROUND 4:30 TO 5:00PM, MY WIFE [XXX] EXITED NW 5TH COURT FROM I95 TO NW [XXX] MIAMI, FLORIDA. AS SHE WAS APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN ON [XXX] , SHE COMMENCED TO PRESS THE BRAKES. TO HER DEMISE, AFTER PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, THE VEHICLE, A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREW CAB DID NOT STOP, INSTEAD, AUTOMATICALLY INCREASED SPEED TO OVER 20 MPH. SHE WAS FORCED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON 71ST STREET TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR FROM CRASHING UNTIL A 1990 TO 1994 GREEN FORD EXPLORER GOING AT SPEEDS WELL OVER 50 MPH ON NW 5TH COURT COMING FROM THE EAST TO WEST, RAMMED/CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TOYOTA TUNDRA AS MY WIFE WAS MAKING THE LEFT TRYING TO EVADE TRAFFIC AND MAKE THE TUNDRA STOP. HIS FORD EXPLORER COMPLETELY TOTALED THE TUNDRA. I THEN ARRIVED AT THE SCENE TO FIND MY WIFE WITH SERIOUS INJURIES AND TOOK HER TO THE ER. I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE SHE WAS ALIVE AND WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY TRANSPORT HER TO THE HOSPITAL. IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE OR A FRONT END COLLISION OCCURRED, MY WIFE WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE NOT SURVIVED. I FEEL, GOD WAS ON HER SIDE THAT DAY AND GAVE HER A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE. THE MAN IN THE GREEN FORD EXPLORER COULD HAVE SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED, BUT DID NOT. MAYBE, IF HE DIDN'T CRASH INTO THE TUNDRA THE WAY HE DID, MY WIFE WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
