2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

NOTICED AN EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT. WHEN DRIVERS SUNVISOR WAS SWUNG OVER TO SIDE WINDOW IT SHOOK LIKE CRAZY, AS A VISUAL INDICATION! DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. AFTER MAKING A COMPLAINT WITH MANAGEMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY ATTEMPTED TO BALANCE THE TIRES AND PERFORM AN ALIGNMENT. THIS DID NOT HELP. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO PUT WEIGHT IN THE BED. THIS DID NOT HELP. SHOP FOREMAN CALLED THIS THE "TUNDRA BOUNCE" AFTER HE DROVE IT AND CONFIRMED MY COMPLAINT. AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA TO START THE ARBITRATION PROCESS. *TR

EXCESSIVE BOUNCING ON FREEWAYS SPEEDS 45-70 SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS (91FREEWAY EAST AROUND CORONA, CA )IS GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE BOUNCE I HAVE HAD TRUCKS ALL MY LIFE SO SOME BOUNCE IS UNDERSTANDABLE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN MARCH 07 THEY TOLD ME TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION IN JANUARY 08 I CONTACTED TOYOTA THROUGH THERE WEB SITE AND THEY REPLIED THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MAY BE THEY FIXED IT SINCE THEN ON THE 08 BUT THIS IS MORE THAN A LITTLE BOUNCE. BOUNCING LIKE IT DOSE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I HAVE TO COME TO FAST STOP ?AND THE EXTRA VIBRATION CAN'T BE GO FORTUNATELY I DON,T HAVE A INFANT.

TOYOTA 2007 TUNDRA TWICE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY DUE TO A STUCK ACCELERATOR ON THE FACTORY FLOOR MATS, WHICH ARE A VERY THICK RUBBER AND DON'T COME WITH SAFETY CLIPS. MAT WAS MOVED BACK BUT FEAR IT MAY SLIDE FORWARD AGAIN. *TR

NUT HOLDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT DUCT WAS LOOSE. THIS ALLOWED THE HEAT DUCT TO FALL DOWN AND BLOCK THE DRIVER'S USE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. LUCKILY FOR ME I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET OR DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS DEFECT ALMOST COMPLETELY BLOCKS THE DRIVERS USE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ON A CROWDED FREEWAY AT SPEED THEY COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN THE ACCIDENT. *TR
