2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

THE 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB WITH 5.7 LITER ENGINE WAS EXPERIENCING VEHICLE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF WIRING HARNESS, TRACTION CONTROL ECU, WHEEL SPEED SENSORS THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. A FACTORY TECHNICIAN WAS BROUGHT IN TO LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE. THE FACTORY TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK WERE BECAUSE SEVERAL SENSORS HAD LOST CALIBRATION DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DISCONNECTED. THERE IS NO INFORMATION IN THE OWNERS MANUAL NOR ANY WARNING SIGNS ON THE VEHICLE THAT PROVIDE ANY CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS TO THE OWNER OR A SERVICE PROVIDER THAT DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CALIBRATION OF SENSORS IN THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION HAS CLARIFIED THAT THIS INFORMATION IS ONLY IN THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL. A REVIEW OF SEVERAL TOYOTA REPAIR PROCEDURES, WHICH REQUIRE THE BATTERY TO BE DISCONNECTED CONTAIN NO WARNING TO CHECK SENSOR CALIBRATION. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS ONE OF THE MAJOR SAFETY SYSTEMS OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN IT FAILS, THE OPERATOR MAY LOOSE THROTTLE AND BRAKING CONTROL. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SHUT DOWN THE THROTTLE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION, THUS NEARLY CAUSING A T-BONE COLLISION. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER RUMBLE STRIP AND FAILURE. *TR

A FRIEND AND I WERE ATTEMPTING TO LAUNCH HIS JETSKI. I BACKED MY TRUCK DOWN THE BOAT RAMP AND MY FRIEND WAS ON THE JETSKI. MY FRIEND WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE JETSKI TO COME OFF THE TRAILER SO, I PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND GOT OUT TO SHOVE THE JETSKI OFF. AS I GOT OUT I NOTICED THE TRUCK LUNGE AND START TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I ATTEMPTED TO REACH MY FOOT BACK IN TO HIT THE BRAKE. BY THIS TIME MY SHOES WERE WET AND BECAUSE OF THE POSITION OF MY BODY, MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SMASHED THE GAS PEDAL WHICH CAUSED TRUCK TO TAKE OFF IN REVERSE. AS I WAS STILL HALFWAY IN AND OUT OF THE TRUCK THE DOOR DRUG ME DOWN THE BOAT RAMP AND UNDER THE WATER WITH THE TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET FREE AND HAD NO SERIOUS INJURIES. THE TRUCK HOWEVER WAS FULLY SUBMERGED AND THE JETSKI TRAILER WAS BROKEN IN THE PROCESS. NOTE: THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS CHANGED OUT UNDER A WARRANTY CLAIM AT AROUND 10,000 MILES BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX I FEEL A CLUNK IN THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR END A FEW SECONDS AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT FEELS AS IF SOME OTHER CAR HAS BUMPED ME IN THE REAR AND THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE THUMP IS MUCH WORSE THAN OTHER TIMES. THIS STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A SUDDEN STOP I MADE WHEN AN ANIMAL CROSSED THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVEN'T HAD MY DEALER CHECK THIS YET BUT I NOW REALIZE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO I WILL GET IT TO THE DEALER SOON. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES AND CLOSE TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION. *TR

I FEEL A CLUNK IN THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR END A FEW SECONDS AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT FEELS AS IF SOMEONE BUMPS ME IN THE REAR, ONLY THERE'S NO CAR BEHIND ME. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AT THE DEALER BUT THEY SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT? NOW THE BUMP IS GETTING EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED. ALSO IN THE MORNINGS THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT CHANGE INTO 5TH OR 6TH GEAR UNTIL I DRIVE APP. 1 MILE. I AM NEARING 25,000 MILES AND WOULD LIKE THESE ISSUES FIXED BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF MY WARRANTY. *TR
