2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

ON OCTOBER 31ST 2008 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT 7:30AM ON I-20 JUST WEST OF ATLANTA. I HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR AND TOTALED MY TRUCK. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I FELT LIKE MY TRUCK WAS ACCELERATING EVEN WHILE I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. UNTIL THE REPORTS STARTING APPEARING ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE I REALLY DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT MY ACCIDENT. I FEEL LIKE A STUCK ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSED MY ACCIDENT. *TR

VEHICLE FRONT END VIBRATES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH. THERE IS SEVER STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. THE FRONT TIRES ARE SHOWING WEAR THE OUT SIDE PORTION OF THE TIRE. THE OEM TIRES LASTED 15,000 MILES. I AM NOW ON A NEW SET OF TIRES THAT ARE EXHIBITING THE SAME TYPE OF UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. 1. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER A MINIMUM OF FOUR TIMES TO REVIEW THE SITUATION. 2. HAD AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. 3. BOTH THE DEALER SHIP AND THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP AGREE THERE IS A VIBRATION ISSUE. 4. THE DEALER CLAIMS THE ISSUE IS WITH THE TIRE BALANCE. THEY HAVE "ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES". 5. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION CONTINUES TO OCCUR. AT TIMES THE VIBRATION IS VERY SEVER AND OTHER TIMES THE VIBRATION IS NON EXISTENT. *TR

TOOK IT BACK TO TOYOTA THEY SAID THEY REPLACED IT ONCE & WOULD NOT REPLACE IT AGAIN & THAT IT WOULD KEEP HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I'VE EMAILED TOYOTA , CALLED CUSTOMER CARE THEY SAID ITS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TUNDRA. I ONLY HAVE 42000 MILES ON TRUCK. IF I WOULD OF KNOWN THIS I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LEMON LAW WAS ONLY 2 YEARS & THAT WOULDNT HELP. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE. *TR
