2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

I TOOK MY 2007 TUNDRA FOR A MODIFICATION OF THE PEDAL TO TOYOTA. ON THE DATE BELOW. I AM CONCERN ABOUT THE WAY THE PEDAL IS WORKING. EVERY TIME THE TRUCK BOUNCES OR HITS A BUMP, MY TRUCK ACCELERATES, BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THE PEDAL. IT DID NOT DO THAT BEFORE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING IT BACK. AS SOON AS I CAN TAKE SOME TIME OFF OF WORK AGAIN. I JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW HOW THE MODIFICATION IS WORKING ON MY TUNDRA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA (PURCHASED NEW ON MARCH 07) I NOTICED AROUND JUNE OF 2009 THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN BRAKING AT SPEED BETWEEN 40 TO 50 MILES. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 , THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THERE ARE RUST ON THE FROND DISKS AND THE REAR DRUMS AND IT THEY NEED TO RESURFACE THE FRONT DISKS AND REAR DRUMS. TRUCK THEN HAD ONLY (15576 MILES), I PAID $418.12 FOR THE REPAIR, ADVISOR SAID IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. ON FEB. 2, 2010 I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CONSUMER EXPERIENCE CENTER IN CA, THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE, AND SHE GAVE ME A CASE NO. AND SAID I SHOULD TALK TO THE SERVICE MANAGE AT THE DEALER ( I DID NOT CONTACT HIM, BECAUSE I FELT I GET NO SATISFACTION). YESTERDAY ON MARCH 10, 2010 THERE IS A NEW REPORT ABOUT RUST ISSUES ON THE 2007 TUNDRA'S; AND ITS BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK ESPECIALLY AFTER SUCH A SHORT PERIOD AND ONLY 15576 MILES AT THE TIME I TOOK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED NOT ONLY ABOUT THE BRAKES THAT ALREADY STARTED TO RUST AFTER A SHORT PERIOD, BUT ALSO ABOUT BRAKE LINES, UNDER CARRIAGE ETC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CCELERATING BY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. ONE MONTH AFTER THE FAILURE THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL NOTICE # 10V017000 FOR THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE REPAIR PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 6177.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 DOUBLE CAB AND HAVE HAD ALL OF MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE COMPLETED ON TIME AND AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE MADE THE COMPLAINT OF MY GAS PEDAL STICKING AND MY FLOOR MATS WERE NOT AN ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THEY "FIXED" THE RECALL PROBLEM WITH ADDING A PART TO THE GAS PEDAL. SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BACK, IT HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. THE GAS PEDAL STILL ACCELERATES ON ITS ON OR DECELERATES ON ITS ON. THE GAS PEDAL "FLOATS" WITH YOUR FOOT SO THE ENGINE IS CONSTANTLY MAKING THE RPM'S RISE AND FALL CONSTANTLY UPON RIDING OVER BUMPS OR HILLS. I DON'T WANT A "PART" TO BE INSTALLED, I WANT THE ENTIRE PEDAL TO BE REPLACED! I LIKE MY TRUCK, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN CORRECTLY AND IS CONSTANTLY MAKING A TICKING SOUND LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE WOULD SOUND. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TELLING ME IT IS OK AND NOTHING IS WRONG. TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT MADE TO JUST DOWN SHIFT 3 GEARS RIGHT OFF THE BAT ON THE INTERSTATE ON FLAT GROUND. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO TRY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS THEY PROCLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THEY ARE CRAZY! PULLING A HORSE TRAILER MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND IT WAS IN TOW MODE. IT TOOK 1 MILE OR LONGER FOR IT TO SHIFT FROM 1/2 GEAR TO 4 GEAR AND THE RPM'S WERE OVER 2,500.. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I FELT IT WOULD NEVER SHIFT DOWNWARD FROM 1/2 GEAR. I AM AFRAID TO PULL MY HORSES WITH THE TRANSMISSION ACTING THIS WAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE DEALER FOUND THAT BOTH SPOKES WHERE BUSTED. THE DEALER ASKED THE CONTACT IF HE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE CONTACT STATED NO HE HADN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER THEN CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER NO LONGER SOLD THAT MODEL TIRE AND STATED THAT CONTACT COULD GET FOUR NEW WHEELS. THEY LET HIM CHOSE FROM TWO DIFFERENT MODELS AT KNOW COST TO HIM. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE NEW TIRES ARE BEING ORDERED. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THERE WAS AN FAILURE WITH THE WHEELS ,THATS THE REASON THEY STOPPED SELLING THEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAD MY 2007 TUNDRA INTO TEXAS TOYOTA FOR WARRANTY WORK. THEY INSTALLED THE "RECALL" FIX. ( I NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE BEFORE THE "RECALL FIX") SINCE THE "FIX," I HAVE HAD 1 ACCELERATION WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND MANY SHORT BURST WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I HAD MY TUNDRA RUN AWAY WITH ME TWICE; BOTH TIMES IT OCCURRED WHEN I WENT TO PASSING GEAR WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. PROSPECT MOTORS IN JACKSON CA LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS THE FLOOR MAT. I ARGUED WITH THE SERVICE GUY, BUT HE WOULDN'T LISTEN. I KNOW FOR SURE THAT DURING THE FIRST OCCURRENCE THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS SECURED. AND I WOULD BET THAT IT WASN'T THE ISSUE WITH THE SECOND INCIDENT. I USE CRUISE CONTROL A LOT BUT NO LONGER LEAVE IT ON WHEN USING PASSING GEAR. THE FIRST TIME INCIDENT, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN SPEED CONTROL BY STOMPING ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS PETALS. I WAS NEVER ABLE TO REGAIN SPEED CONTROL DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT. I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AND PULL AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRYING TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. ONCE OFF THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WE ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ANY INFORMATION OR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE NO FAITH IN TOYOTA'S REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000. UPDATED 03/10/10 *BF THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT NO CHANGES BE MADE TO HIS COMPLAINT. UPDATED 05/10/10

STUCK GAS PEDAL. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON US101 HIGHWAY NEAR TILLAMOOK, OREGON WITH TWO OF MY BROTHERS, ONE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AND ONE ON THE BACK. WHEN I SLIGHTLY PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRUCK TOOK OFF WITH RPM AT ABOUT 6000 AND SPEED OF ABOUT 70MPH, AND I COULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK VIA PRESSING REALLY HARD ON THE BRAKE. FINALLY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT BY PUSHING THE SHIFT HANDLE TO NEUTRAL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND CHECKED THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE SURE NOTHING WOULD GET JAMMED, AND I DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, THE RPM SHOT TO 6000 AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I TAPPED ON THE GAS PADDLE COUPLE TIMES, AND THE ENGINE DROPPED BACK DOWN TO IDLE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ONE DRIVING IN FRONT OF ME, AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS INCIDENT, BUT I BELIEVED THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEED TO GET MORE ATTENTION FROM THE TRUCK MANUFACTURER. BTW, I'VE NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS TRUCK SINCE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

NO OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF PEDAL FAILURE ON MY AFFECTIVE 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I THOUGHT THAT COMPANIES WERE REQUIRED BY LAW TO SUPPLY OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION SENT TO YOU FOR A SAFETY RECALL. I ALSO HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR DRIVESHAFT SEPARATION THAT THIS VIN WAS ALSO INCLUDED, BUT WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER THAT IT WASN'T. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN HE MADE A SUDDEN STOP WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE REAR TIRE LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE SPUN AROUND. WHENEVER THE ROADS WERE WET OR COVERED WITH ICE HE LOST TRACTION, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED WHEN HE STARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO ACCELERATED WHEN HE SHIFTED INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE FAILURES. THE DEALER STATED THAT SINCE THE DIAGNOSIS DID NOT LOCATE A FAILURE CODE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DID NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY PARTS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000.
