TOY. 2007 5.7 CREW-MAX 4+4 P2440 CODE CAME ON AND TRUCK WENT INTO SAFETY MODE .GREATLY REDUCED SPEED . 4 LO LT. COMES ON AS WELL AS ENGINE,TRACTION AND ANTI SLIP LTS. I CARRY A HAND-HELD CODE DETECTOR AND CLEAR THE CODE AS SOON AS IT COMES UP AND CONTINUOUSLY CLEAR IT AS I'M DRIVING. TOYOTA WANTED 3400.00 TO FIX THIS DEFECT AFTER I BOUGHT 3 NEW TUNDRAS FROM THEM EVERY 3 YEARS. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR 13 MO. 8 MO. INTO IT MY TRUCK STARTED DYING AND WOULD NOT START FOR SEVERAL MIN.WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND WAS STRANDED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD MORE THAN ONCE. THIS WENT ON FOR 1 WEEK 2 DIFFERENT TIMES THAN IT STARTED RUNNING AGAIN WITH JUST THE P2440 CODE COMING UP ALL THE TIME AND SHUTTING ME DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING MY BROTHER IN LAW WHO ALSO HAD A 2007 TUNDRA EX. CAB. THEY FIXED HIS BECAUSE HE WAS ONLY 1500 MILE OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN MY TROUBLE STARTED I WAS AT 70,000+ MI. DEFECT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AMT. OF MILES,JUST TIME(AFTER 3 YRS.)AFTER 13 MO. STILL NO HELP FROM TOYOTA AND NO RECALL.

MY WIFE CAME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE BRINGING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL A FEW WEEKS AGO. SHE WAS LEAVING A STOP SIGN GETTING ONTO A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN OUR 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA UNEXPECTEDLY HAD DRASTICALLY REDUCED POWER. AFTER A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THE REDUCTION IN POWER WAS CAUSED BY A FAILURE IN THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY DURING COLD STARTS. WHEN THERE IS A FAILURE IN THIS SYSTEM THE ECM (ONBOARD COMPUTER) GOES INTO A MODE IN WHICH THE AVAILABLE POWER FROM THE ENGINE IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. TOYOTA HAS RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE TWO AIR INJECTION PUMPS AND A SWITCHING VALVE SET AT AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $3500. I AM RESEARCHING OTHER OPTIONS BECAUSE THEY TELL ME THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN CONTINUE TO REOCCUR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. *TR

APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS AGO I HAD THE ACCELERATOR RECALL REPAIR WORK COMPLETED ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA, AFTER, I NOTICED RANDOMLY WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, INTERSECTION ETC. I WOULD ACCELERATE THE TRUCK WOULD FEEL AS IF SOME ONE PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL, AND THEN HIT THE BRAKE. IT STARTED OUT VERY MILD. AND I THOUGH IT MAY HAVE JUST BEEN ME CAUSING IT. ON 11 MAY 2010 WHILE TAKING MY 4YR OLD TO DAYCARE IT DID IT AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME IT WAS VERY HARD. THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED MY HEAD, AS WELL AS MY SONS TO GO BACK AND HIT OUR HEAD REST. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED THREE TIMES IN A ROW. IT WAS AS IF WE WERE RIDING A BUMPY ROLLER COASTER RIDE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 DOUBLE CAB AND HAVE HAD ALL OF MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE COMPLETED ON TIME AND AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE MADE THE COMPLAINT OF MY GAS PEDAL STICKING AND MY FLOOR MATS WERE NOT AN ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THEY "FIXED" THE RECALL PROBLEM WITH ADDING A PART TO THE GAS PEDAL. SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BACK, IT HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. THE GAS PEDAL STILL ACCELERATES ON ITS ON OR DECELERATES ON ITS ON. THE GAS PEDAL "FLOATS" WITH YOUR FOOT SO THE ENGINE IS CONSTANTLY MAKING THE RPM'S RISE AND FALL CONSTANTLY UPON RIDING OVER BUMPS OR HILLS. I DON'T WANT A "PART" TO BE INSTALLED, I WANT THE ENTIRE PEDAL TO BE REPLACED! I LIKE MY TRUCK, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN CORRECTLY AND IS CONSTANTLY MAKING A TICKING SOUND LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE WOULD SOUND. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TELLING ME IT IS OK AND NOTHING IS WRONG. TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT MADE TO JUST DOWN SHIFT 3 GEARS RIGHT OFF THE BAT ON THE INTERSTATE ON FLAT GROUND. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO TRY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS THEY PROCLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THEY ARE CRAZY! PULLING A HORSE TRAILER MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND IT WAS IN TOW MODE. IT TOOK 1 MILE OR LONGER FOR IT TO SHIFT FROM 1/2 GEAR TO 4 GEAR AND THE RPM'S WERE OVER 2,500.. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I FELT IT WOULD NEVER SHIFT DOWNWARD FROM 1/2 GEAR. I AM AFRAID TO PULL MY HORSES WITH THE TRANSMISSION ACTING THIS WAY. *TR
