2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

SINCE THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE RUST. IT WAS 2 YES OLD WITH 17,000 MILES ON IT. THE BED AND FRAME ARE BADLY RUSTED. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT FRAME AND THEY APPLIED SOME WEIRD BLACK STUFF. TOTAL NIGHTMARE. THE BED ,EVEN THOUGH I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN THEY SAY TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING AT MORE THEN 5 DEALERSHIP'S SINCE 2009 AND CALLED CORPORATE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE BED IS DANGEROUS AND HAS BEEN. THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE,.AROUND MOUNTING BOLTS, EVENTUALLY BED WILL SEPARATE FROM FRAME. VERY CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WON'T HONOR . NEXT PROBLEM THAT THEY ALSO HAVE AN UPDATED WARRANTY WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT. SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FAILS ,WHICH IS AN EMISSIONS COMPONENT. CRITICAL TO KEEP EMISSIONS LOW.

POWERTRAIN: DRIVELINE : DRIVESHAFT. VIN CHECK INFO SHOWS 12 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. NHTSA SHOWS 0 RECALLS. HAD TO REPLACE SHAFT ASSY DUE TO FLUID LEAKING AT 13,000 MILES.

WHO CAN I GET TO HELP ME BECAUSE MY TRUCK FRAME IS RUSTED/CORRODED FROM SALT AND IT IS NOT SAFE. IT PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT. I WENT TO HOLLOWAY TIRE CO.(706-647-7016 - [XXX]) IN THOMASTON, GA. TO GET MY FRONT END ALIGNED. THEY COULD NOT DO IT BECAUSE THE BOLTS THEY NEEDED TO LOOSE ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM, IN ORDER TO ALIGN IT, WERE SO RUSTED/CORRODED FROM SALT THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THEM LOOSE. THEY EVEN APPLIED HEAT TO THE BOLTS TO TRY AND BREAK THEM LOOSE BUT THAT DID NOT HELP. THE RUST/CORROSION FROM SALT HAD THEM FROZEN/LOCKED. TOYOTA REFUSES TO HONOR THEIR FRAME RECALL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE COURT ORDERED TOYOTA TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. SEE WEBSITE BELOW. HTTP://WWW.TOYOTAFRAMESETTLEMENT.COM I LIVE IN GEORGIA. I BOUGHT MY TRUCK 1 YEAR AGO. (SEPT. 2017) IN CONYERS, GA. PREVIOUS TO THAT THE 07 TUNDRA SPENT 10 YEARS IN NEW YORK. IT WAS A ONE OWNER PREVIOUS TO ME. THE FRAME IS RUSTED/CORRODED FROM SALT BUT TOYOTA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I DO NOT LIVE IN A COLD WEATHER STATE. EVEN THOUGH, TOYOTA WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK LIVED IN A COLD WEATHER STATE FROM 2007 TO 2017. (OUT OF THE 11 PAST YEARS THE TRUCK LIVED IN NEW YORK 10 OF THOSE YEARS). I WENT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (BUTLER TOYOTA - 888-683-1348 ) IN MACON, GA. AND THAT DEALERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE [XXX] CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND EVEN SENT THEM PICTURES OF MY FRAME AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS SINCE, I DO NOT LIVE IN A COLD WEATHER STATE, TOYOTA IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY TRUCK. EVEN THOUGH, TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS WAS TOLD THAT OUT OF THE 11 PAST YEARS 10 OF THOSE YEARS (FROM 2007 TO2017) THE TRUCK LIVED IN NEW YORK (A COLD WEATHER STATE). I NEED HELP TO GET TOYOTA TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND GET MY FRAME FIXED BECAUSE IT IS RUSTED AND NOT SAFE VIN # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK TO LAS VEGAS AUG, 2018 WAS PASSING A LINE OF SEMI'S GOING TO SLOW AFTER PASSING ABOUT 3 OF THEM THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED RUNNING, HAD TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD FAST, AFTER MAKING IT THERE THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER AN HOUR OR SO IT STARTED. MADE IT TO VEGAS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THAT DAY ALSO THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHTS SUCH AS "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT THAT CAME ON.THIS TRUCK WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2008, WHEN THE FIRST TIME THAT HAPPENED IT HAD 29080 MILES ON IT, I DON'T DRIVE IT THAT MUCH AS I AM RETIRED SO DON'T DRIVE AS MUCH AS I DID BEFORE.THAT TRIP TO VEGAS COULD HAVE BEEN ALL TO DIFFERENT HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET OFF FREEWAY, BECAUSE THE STEARING AT 70 MPH IS NOT TOO GOOD, COULD HAVE BEEN BAD ACCIDENT FOR MY WIFE AND MYSELF, AND OTHERS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED. TOYOTA DEALER SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF A PROBLEM LIKE THAT WHEN I CALLED THEM. HAVE SEARCHED SEVERAL WEB SITES AND FOUND COMPLAINTS WITH SAME PROBLEM THEREFORE I BELIEVE TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR THEIR PROBLEM. MAYBE THEY NEED A HIGH TOTAL OF DEATHS BEFORE FIXING THEIR PROBLEM. I THINK ITS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM OR RELATED TO THE ENGINE.

I HAVE A 5.7L 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. IT HAS BEEN RAINING REAL BAD IN TEXAS AND THE OTHER DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT LOST POWER. I TOOK IT AND HAD IT CHECKED. I HAVE AN ERROR CODE P0419. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE INSTANCES ONLINE AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ISSUES FOR 10 YEARS 150K MILES, BUT I AM OUT BY TIME, AND I ONLY HAVE 88K MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES AS IF I WAS PASSING SOMEONE AND LOST POWER, I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE BY TOYOTA AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY A GENERAL RECALL.
