2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

MY TRUCK FIRST THING IN MORNING WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR UNTIL I STOP PUT IN PARK AND THEN DRIVE AND ONCE GOING DOWN ROAD IT SHIFTS AND DRIVES FINE WHEN REPORTED IT TO DEALER HE TELLS ME THAT IT HAS TO WARM UP THAT HIS DOES SAME THING , ALL MY LIGHTS ON GAUGES COMES ON FLASHING OIL LIGHT 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT THE SKID LIGHT EVERY LIGHT COMES ON I TAKE CABLES OFF BATTERY AND WAIT A WHILE HOOK UP AND THEY ALL GO OFF WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS IT DOES IT ALMOST DAILY WHY IT'S IN MOTION ON CITY AND HIGHWAY ROADS

THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE GIVES A VIBRATION AND SHAKES REAL BAD JUST HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING MY TRUCK

I HAVE VERY BAD RUST IN THE BED OF MY 07 DC. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW. THE RUST WAS OBSCURED BY THE TOYOTA BED LINER UNTIL I SAW OTHER OWNERS POSTING AND CHECKED IT OUT. I KEEP MY TRUCK IN IMMACULATE CONDITION AND IT ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES. THE RUST IS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH AND IS FOCUSED AROUND THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE BED TO THE FRAME. I AM AFRAID THAT THE BED WILL FALL OFF OF THE TRUCK! I AM TRYING TO BRING AWARENESS TO THIS DEFECT BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. A CALL TO THE DEALER AND EVERY POST THAT I SEE SAYS THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT HELP. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POOR WORKMANSHIP AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS BEFORE THERE ARE ACCIDENTS. MY FRAME IS ALSO RUSTED. TOYOTA DEALER SPRAYED A SOLUTION ON THE FRAME BUT IT IS STILL RUSTING AND IS AFFECTING THIS BED RUST AS WELL.

THE FRAME AND TRUCK BED HAVE SEVERE RUST ISSUES. THE TRUCK BED IS SHACKING NOW WHEN DRIVING. THE FRAME WAS "SPRAYED" WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON WINCHESTER ROAD THEY HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF RUST ON THE FRAME AND ON THE TRUCK BED AND ADVICE ME TO RID OF THE CAR BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN TRADE FOR ANOTHER CAR. I HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED BY MY MECHANIC BEFORE I BOUGHT AND THE CAR SEEMS TO BE OK. LATE ON ANOTHER MECHANIC POINTED OUT SEVERE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS INSPECT THE TRUCK AND SAID THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW MYSEFL HOW TO GET A NEW FRAME AND A NEW TRUCK BED BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO CONTACT. MY MECHANIC ADVICE ME TO CONTACT NHTSA.

TOYOTA TUNDRA FRAME CORRODED. THERE IS A BASEBALL SIZED HOLE IN MY FRAME AND TOYOTA WAS NOTIFIED OF IT AND DENIED THAT IS WAS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR ISSUES RELATED TO IMPROPER ANTI CORROSION TREATMENT DURING MANUFACTURING. THEY STATED THEY HAD A CAMPAIGN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY PHONE, FAX, MAIL, EMAIL, OR ANY OTHER MEANS.

IN 2018 I BROUGHT MY 2007 TO MY DEALER (ACTON TOYOTA LITTLETON MASS.) TO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CHECK ON THE FRAME. THEY FOUND IT TO BE RUSTED ENOUGH TO KEEP IT SEVERAL DAYS FOR RUST TREATMENT . A YEAR OR SO LATER MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I HAD A SEVERE UNDERBODY RUST PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME TOYOTA REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF IT BECAUSE I WAS 2 WEEKS BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. TOYOTA ORIGINALLY REPLACED A LOT OF THE RUSTED FRAMES AND ALSO TREATED OTHERS. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES AND MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT THE RUST PROTECTION WAS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO PACIFY CUSTOMERS LIKE MYSELF .

THE FRAME - BOTH RAILS - IS RUSTED THRU AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. YOU ARE ABLE TO PUT YOUR FINGER RIGHT THRU ONE OF THE RAILS AND THE OTHER YOU COULD POKE THRU WITH A BALL PEEN HAMMER. IT IS AT THE VERY END OF THE RAILS SO THERE IS NO WAY TO WELD A PIECE ON IT. THIS WAS NOTED ON 9/15/20 BUT CANNOT TELL WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THE RUSTING PROCESS - HAS BEEN PASSING INSPECTION EVERY YEAR.

FIRST AND ONLY TIME I USED THE SUPPLIED JACK FOR MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS AS INDICATED IN OWNERS MANUAL AND WAS ON LEVEL GROUND AT TIME OF THIS PITIFUL JACK?S FAILURE. THE JACK DID NOT HOLD THE WEIGHT OF MY TRUCK WHEN I HAD TO REMOVE A TIRE. AS A RESULT, THE TRUCK FELL OFF OF THE JACK AND CAUSED MULTIPLE DAMAGE TO TIRE I USED (THANK GOD!!) AS A JACK STAND. THE ROTOR OF REAR PASSENGER SIDE WAS BENT AND THE LEAF SPRINGS OF THAT PASSENGER SIDE SHIFTED AND ARE NOW NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY.*DT CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS DAMAGE BY THE FAILED JACK. DEALER DID NOT OFFER TO REPLACE THE JACK AND STATED VEHICLE WAS PAST WARRANTY.*JB
