2007 Toyota Tundra Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE EXTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR DE-FOGGER WAS ACTIVATED AND FLAMES APPEARED FROM THE WINDSHIELD OF THE VEHICLE. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,300.

MY VSC OFF LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING WHEN I STARTED MY TRUCK WHEN I GOT OFF WORK AT 3:00P.M. CENTRAL TIME. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AS WELL. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO AUTO ZONE FOR A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND CAME UP WITH CODE P2440. MY VSC OFF LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY NOT LOO LONG AGO, BUT WENT OFF SO I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. LOSS OF POWER.

I HAD MY VEHICLE REPAIRED BASED ON THE 2010 TOYOTA RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NOW SOMETIMES STICKS IN THE HALF-OPEN POSITION AND REFUSES TO RETURN ON ITS OWN. I HAVE USED THE TOE OF MY FOOT TO PULL THE PEDAL BACK TO THE NON-ACCELATERATING POSITION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, IF YOU TOUCH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE RPMS WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE ON THEIR OWN, AND EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK POSITION. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME YOU OPERATE THE VEHICLE, BUT RANDOMLY, AND WITH NO PATTERN. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS 3/4 TO 1 INCH OF "FREE PLAY" BEFORE IT RESPONDS AND FEEDS GAS TO THE ENGINE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE BESIDES MYSELF WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA INC DOES NOT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEIR "FIX" TO YOUR ORIGINAL RECALL ABOUT THIS DOES NOT WORK, OR THEY HAVE CREATED AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM WITH THEIR "FIX" TO THE 2010 RECALL.

DIDN'T NOTICE TILL AFTER A MILE OF DRIVING BUT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSC, AND 4LO WERE FLASHING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 50 MILES PER HOUR. UNFORTUNATELY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED AND I TOOK IT IN TO AUTO SHOP TO GET THE CODES SCANNED TO PROVIDE TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. IN ORDER TO GET HOME I HAD TO GET THE CODES CLEARED OUT TO GET IT OUT OF LIMP MODE BUT I DROVE IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND PROVIDED THE CODES AND NECESSARY INFORMATION. UNFORTUNATELY THEY NEEDED TO GET THE CODES OFF THEMSELVES I EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A 2007 AND 2008 TUNDRA ? TSB 032908 BUT THEY COULDN'T VERIFY THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS TO BRING IT IN WITHOUT RESETTING THE CODES. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY ALMOST A MONTH LATER. I'M TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP OTHER THAN THE INITIAL ONE AS TOWING CHARGES WOULD BE OUTRAGES. I HOPE TOYOTA CAN GET HIS CORRECTED FOR OTHERS REGARDLESS IF YOU HAVE THE CODES OR NOT IT SHOULD BE A MANDATORY NOTICE FOR ALL TOYOTA TUNDRA OWNERS SO YOU DO NOT GET STRANDED FAR FROM A DEALERSHIP OR EVENTUALLY HAVE THAT ISSUE AS IT IS PROVIDED ONLY IF YOU HAVE UP TO 150K MILES OR 10YEARS FROM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. *TR

I HAD 2 OCCURRENCES OF UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION. BOTH EVENTS TRANSPIRED AS FOLLOWS: 1) APPLIED BRAKES IN PREPARATION OF STARTING ENGINE AND ENGAGING TRANSMISSION. 2) STARTED ENGINE, PUT IT IN "DRIVE" AND ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUMPED FORWARD. 3) I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED BRAKES WITH MAXIMUM EFFORT TO COUNTER THE ACCELERATION. 4) THREW SHIFTER INTO "NEUTRAL" WHILE ENGINE WAS MAXING RPMS, THEN I SHUT DOWN ENGINE. BOTH EVENTS WERE CLOSE CALLS. IF I HAD NOT HAD PRESENCE OF MIND I WOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE VEHICLE AND PROPERTY. VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED BY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY FOUND NO REASON FOR THE EVENTS. I CONTEND THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE AND NEED TO HAVE IT PURSUED. *TR

I GOT AN OBD II CODE P2440 SECONDARY AIR INJECTION VALVE STUCK OPEN AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND ALMOST GOT STUCK IN THE ROAD. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THERE ARE QUITE A FEW VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS BUT I NEVER GOT A LETTER FROM TOYOTA INDICATING THE ELONGATION OF WARRANTY ON THE AFFECTED PART/S FOR 2007-2010 TUNDRA'S AND SEQUOIAS. I'M TRYING TO RESOLVE IT RIGHT NOW WITH TOYOTA BUT THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN ME A FIRM ANSWER AS TO IF IT WAS WARRANTY RELATED OR NOT. *TR

I TOOK MY TUNDRA INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT, FOR THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEEN COMING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THAT MEANS THE AIRBAG IS INOPERABLE. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK AND TELL ME WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THEY RAN A CHECK,(CODE B1801) AND SAID TO RULE OUT SOME OTHER PROBLEM THEY WOULD FIRST HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, AT MY COST. APPARENTLY THAT FIXED THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS ODD TO ME THAT WITH 8 MILLION SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY'S UNDER RECALL, THAT THAT WOULD BE THE ISSUE HERE, AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE TOTAL COST WAS $507.13, TO ME. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE GAVE ME THIS WEBSITE ADDRESS TO REPORT THE ISSUE, SINCE THEY ARE UNWILLING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE. THEY SAID "THEY CAN'T PREDICT WHAT WILL GO WRONG WITH A VEHICLE". *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASES A USED 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE ON AC PAVEMENT WITH NO MAJOR ISSUES, BUT UPON PURCHASING AND DRIVING ON MY TYPICAL FREEWAY COMMUTE TRAVELING AT NORMAL SPEEDS (55-70MPH) IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING RESONATED AT ONE POINT SO VIOLENTLY THAT I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO DRASTICALLY SLOW DOWN TO REGAIN CONTROL. I AM FEARFUL OF MY SAFETY AND THAT OF ANY PASSENGERS, ESPECIALLY MY CHILDREN. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND FORUM INFORMATION ONLINE THAT SPEAKS TO THIS "BED BOUNCE" PROBLEM, AND A RELEVANT TSB FROM TOYOTA. HOWEVER, I CANNOT FIND AN OFFICIAL TSB FROM TOYOTA ONLINE OR A GENUINE FIX TO THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I JUST BOUGHT A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND NEEDLESS TO SAY VERY ANGRY THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM IN FULL. *TR

TOYOTA REPLACED MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL BACK WHEN THEY HAD CARS THAT WOULD UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATE. NOTHING HAD BEEN PROVEN WRONG WITH MY PEDAL, THERE WERE NO SYMPTOMS. HOWEVER, TUNDRA WAS DOING A NATIONWIDE RECALL IN THE NAME OF SAFETY CONCERNS. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE PEDAL WAS JUST FLOPPY AND SENSITIVE AS COULD BE. THE CAR WOULD JUST LAUNCH ITSELF FORWARD. HITTING BUMPS ON THE ROAD CAUSED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. THIS RECALL WAS DONE AT 28K MILES. NOW AT 65K MILES, WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WENT TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS NO FRICTION OR PEDAL FEEL WHATSOEVER, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND THANK GOD DUE TO RAIN, INSTEAD OF BEING PROPELLED, I SKID FORWARD ABOUT A FOOT. THERE WAS A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF SENSITIVITY AND PEDAL FEEL WAS GONE. ***THIS ON THE SUPPOSED "FIXED" PEDAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN GAINESVILLE, GATORLAND TOYOTA WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THEY TESTED THE CAR AND BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, THEY STATED THEY WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. NOT EVEN REPLACE THE PEDAL AGAIN. THERE ARE PLENTY OF TOYOTA OWNERS ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING THAT THINGS ARE STILL WRONG WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDALS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. TOYOTA HAS VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THAT COULD POTENTIALLY LAUNCH THEMSELVES AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. TOYOTA CASE NUMBER: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT AT 48K MILES. IT COST ME $2000 TO REPLACE. I READ VARIOUS BLOGS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON MANY TUNDRAS BUILT BETWEEN 2007-2013. I DON'T DRIVE MY TRUCK VERY OFTEN AND I TREAT IT VERY GENTLY. THIS WAS A HUGE EXPENSE BILL FOR ANYBODY TO ABSORB. *TR

AFTER TRYING TO SWITCH MY TRUCK INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LO, THE 4 WHEEL LO LIGHT & SYMBOL WOULD FLASH AND NEVER ENGAGE. I TRIED MANY TIMES, MAKING SURE THE VEHICLE WAS ON A LEVEL SURFACE, AT A COMPETE STOP WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, SHIFTING FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL HI AND THEN PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND TRIED TO SWITCH INTO 4 WHEEL LO....NOTHING, IT WILL NOT ENGAGE. IT WILL HOWEVER SHIFT BACK TO 4 WHEEL HI AND BACK TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, I ONLY USE 4 WHEEL DRIVE HI, DURING SNOW STORMS IN NH AND ONLY USE 4 WHEEL LO TO DRIVE UP MY DRIVEWAY, IN VERY DEEP SNOW AMOUNTS (16"-20" DEPTHS). AFTER FINDING THIS VERY DISAPPOINTING PROBLEM, I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR THE DAY AND WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE TECH AND SERVICE MANGER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ACTUATOR HAS FAILED, THUS REQUIRING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSFER CASE, ACTUATOR AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM? ANY WAYS THIS WAS A TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH REFERRED THIS REMEDY FIX AND AT THE COST OF (DRUM ROLL PLEASE) $5,200.00 ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

LUCKILY, I WAS ONLY GOING 10 MPH AND THE DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE REQUIREMENT FOR MY DRIVE SHAFT TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN ITEM IDENTIFIED BY TOYOTA AS A PROBLEM, HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. IT SEEMS WITH LIMITED MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE, A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE DRIVE TRAIN WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. UPDATED 01/23/14*LJ UPDATED 01/23/14

ISSUES WITH TOYOTA'S SECONDARY AIR INTAKE PUMP SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE. SINCE 2007, NOW TOYOTA HAS CONTROL OVER THE NECESSARY PARTS AND WILL RELEASE AS THEY SEEM FIT. I HAVE WAITED OVER TWO WEEKS TO GET THESE PARTS AND INSTALLED. AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT WILL BE COULD BE WEEKS. THEY KNOW THAT THE PUMP HAS ISSUES AND WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM TILL IT GOES BAD. AND IF YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND YOU LOSE POWER THAT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. MY TRUCK BROKE DOWN IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I WAS PULLING OUT TO GO ON A 3000 PLUS MILE ROAD TRIP. WISH A RECALL CAN BE ORDERED TO FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE HAND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THERE WAS A ROARING NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WERE FOUR NEW TIRES REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS A FAULTY REAR AXLE SHAFT BEARING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,790.

I STARTED MY TRUCK UP YESTERDAY JUST RANDOMLY TO GO TO THE STORE. AS SOON AS I STARTED IT A BUNCH OF WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, THE 4WD LO LIGHT WAS BLINKING, THE VSC OFF LIGHT WAS BLINKING, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON. I THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. I TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON AND THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. I THEN PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO GO TO A FRIENDS HOUSE WHO HAS A LITTLE COMPUTER THAT TELLS YOU WHAT ERRORS ARE GOING OFF WHEN YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON LIKE AN AUTOBODY. AS I PULLED ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK WOULD BARELY GO. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT USUALLY DOES BUT THE TRUCK WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE. WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE HE PLUGGED THE COMPUTER IN AND IT GAVE ME AN ERROR CODE OF P2440. ONCE I LOOKED MORE INTO IT I FOUND THAT IT WAS THE AIR INDUCTION PUMP THAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH TUNDRA'S WITH MILEAGE BETWEEN 40K AND 60K. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHY THE VEHICLE IS NOT ACCELERATING LIKE IT SUPPOSED TO. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME CONCERN. THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD TO ME. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT WOULD JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUT MY ENGINE DOWN TO THE SLOW CRAWL THAT IT IS DOING IF I AM ON A TURNPIKE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WOULD BELIEVE THAT THERE WOULD DEFINITELY BE AN ACCIDENT WHICH I AM SURE IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. I AM JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE OR MAYBE SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. LIKE A RECALL THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF. *TR

THE BED IS RUSTING OUT ALL ACROSS THE CROSS MEMBERS. IT STARTED GRADUALLY, BUT NOW IT'S SO BAD I'M AFRAID THE BOX COULD BREAK LOOSE AND FLY OFF THE TRUCK WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS VERY ISSUE, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID IT WAS TOO OLD AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES AGE MAKE? IT WAS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT TOYOTA EVEN ACKNOWLEDGES, BUT BECAUSE I WAS UNAWARE OF POTENTIAL DANGER UNTIL AFTER IT WAS PAST THE TIME THEY FEEL THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE, I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE AND HAS A MUCH LOWER RESALE VALUE...UPDATED 10/14/15 *BF UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN
