2007 Toyota Tundra

MY VEHICLE SET A DTC P2440 FOR THE SECONDARY AIR INDUCTION VALVE STUCK OPEN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN UNDER WATER OR OFF ROAD. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW/ENGINEERING DEFECT THAT TOYOTA CREATED AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS A RECALL FOR ALL AFFECTED MODELS FOR REPLACEMENT FOR A BETTER OR REDESIGNED PART. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT FOR THE AFFECTED PARTS IS BEYOND REASONABLE FOR ALL TOYOTA OWNERS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THERE FLAW. I PULLED OUT ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD AND HAD NO POWER AND WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. ITS NOT SAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT NOTICED TWO PLASTIC PIECES THAT SURROUND THE GEAR SHIFT WERE BENT AND HAD CRUMBLED WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFT IN THE DESIRED GEAR. THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME CAUGHT IN BETWEEN THE PLASTIC. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUSH THE PLASTIC DOWN IN ORDER TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN THE PARK POSITION UNTIL THE CONTACT PUSHED THE TWO PLASTIC PIECES DOWNWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE TWO PLASTIC COVER PIECES ATTACHED TO THE GEAR SHIFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL IN REGARDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V579000 (POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT) AND TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION, HE WAS ADVISED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, HE NOTICED THAT WHEN HE DROVE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A VERY VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE DRIVE SHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO ASSIST HIM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVE YOLK WENT OUT AND BLEW THE REAR TRANSMISSION SEAL. COULD HAVE DROPPED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY. OVER 2000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO THE TEE, ALL MAINTENANCE DONE ON THE DOT! VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THE TRUCK IS WITH HIGH MILEAGE, 90,000. HOWEVER, WE WERE TOLD AT TIME SALE IT HAD A 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IN WHICH THERE WAS NO WORRY THERE BECAUSE IF MAINTAINED IT WOULD LAST FOR 300,000 PLUS MILES.NOW WE ARE TOLD THAT IS NOT SO IT WAS NOT 100,000 MILES, IT WAS ONLY 60,000. THE TRUCK WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED, ALL HIGHWAY MILES, DRIVE 50 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK EVERYDAY ON INTERSTATE, NEVER TAKEN OFF ROAD, NEVER PULL ANYTHING. WELL SO MUCH FOR HONESTY, BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TO BAD, SO SAD. I SEE TOYOTA IS RECALLING ALL THE 2011 MODELS FOR DRIVE YOLK FAILURE, AND I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS PLACES ONLINE ON THE 2007 TUNDRA?S DRIVE SHAFT/YOLK. THEY DID RECALL THE DRIVESHAFTS FOR THE 4X4 TUNDRAS IN 2007, BUT NOT THE 4 X 2?S. CAN?T THEY SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE ALSO? THE TRUCK ALWAYS FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BUMPING YOU WHEN YOU STOPPED. WE WERE JUST TOLD IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE TUNDRA. SO WATCH OUT FOLKS WITH LOWER MILEAGE. I BOUGHT A TOYOTA WHEN I WAS GOING TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH A LONGER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY BUT THE TOYOTA SALESMAN TALKED US OUT OF IT WITH HIS 100,000 MILE (LIE) POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND HIS 300,000 MILE COMMENTS. WELL, WHAT DO I DO NOW? THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT OR EVEN OFFER A DISCOUNT, JUST A SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK! *TR

PURCHASED 07 TUNDRA IN AUG 2010 AND BY DEC 2010 WE HAD ISSUES WITH 4WD GAUGES BLINKING/DINGING AND LOSS OF POWER/ACCELERATION. FOLLOWED THE MANUAL AND NO FIX. PROBLEM EVENTUALLY QUIT AFTER ABOUT 3 DAYS. PROBLEM RESUMED ON 2/14/11 AND TOOK TO AUTO SHOP TO HAVE DIAGNOSED. CODE P2440 WAS GIVEN AND WE REALLY DO NOT WANT TO RETURN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER DUE TO LACK OF QUALITY SALES AND SERVICE. ALSO DO NOT HAVE THE ESTIMATED $1300+ TO FIX PROBLEM. HELP TOYOTA, WHY DO WE READ THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TUNDRAS HAVING 50K+ MILES? *TR

ABS, TRAC AND 4HI WARNING LIGHTS ALL ON WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE ABS AND TRAC CONTROL ALL CEASED TO FUNCTION. WAS DRIVING IN SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE, 4HI WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THIS IS 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. MOSTLY OCCURS DURING COLD WEATHER BUT NOT ALWAYS. HAVE TAKEN TRUCK TO DEALER AFTER THESE OCCURRENCES AND 2 OF THE TIMES THE DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION. WHEN TRUCK IS IN STATE OF FLASHING LIGHTS, THE TRUCK ALWAYS RETURNS TO NORMAL WHEN YOU TURN OFF VEHICLE, WAIT AND THEN RESTART IT. DEALER HAS REPLACED PARTS NOW 4 TIMES AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE CONTACT HEARD A POPPING NOISE NEAR THE DRIVE LINE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BEARINGS. THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO REPAIR. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE RESPONDED AS IF IT WERE GOING TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED SINCE THE VEHICLE COULD POTENTIALLY BREAK DOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I BOUGHT MY 2007 TUNDRA 6/30/2007 RAN GREAT UNTIL AROUND 18,500 MI. AT THAT TIME THE TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A BANGING NOISE WHICH IT FELT LIKE THE 05 4 RUNNER. THE 4 RUNNER STILL DOES IT BUT IT RUNS AND DRIVES FINE. THE TUNDRA IS GETTING REALLY BAD AS IT IS GRINDING AND BANGING. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH TOYOTA FROM MY AREA AND THEY KEEP SAYING I HAVE TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS AND THEY USUALLY CALL AND CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT. I CONTACTED DIFFERENT CORPORATE EXC'S AND ONE FROM CALIFORNIA CALLED AND MADE AN APP. AND I WAS THERE FOR IT. I WAITED FOR 1 1/2 HOURS AND THE REP DIDN'T SHOW. I AM NOW GOING TO SEND MR.AKIO TOYODA, PRESIDENT OF TOYOTA A CERTIFIED LETTER. HIS ADDRESS ISCORPORATE HEADQUARTERS* 1 TOYOTA-CHO TOYOTA CITY, AICHI 471-8571 JAPAN PHONE: 81 5 6528 2121 FAX: 81 5 6523 5800 I HOPE EVERYONE THAT HAS A PROBLEM WILL SEND A CERTIFIED LETTER TO HIM AND LET HIM KNOW HOW EMBARRASSED THE TOYOTA CO. SHOULD BE FOR THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING THE PROBLEMS. I FOR ONE WILL GO BACK TO GM AS THEY WILL HALF TRY TO HELP. *TR

I HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY FIX THE GAS PEDAL WHICH HAS MADE IT WORSE. THE TRUCK HESITATES THEN LURCHES AHEAD. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A BANGING NOISE AND DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT. IT BANGS ON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERS SHOP AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T FIX IT. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER STATES CRUISE CONTROL DOES ENGAGE AND THEN WILL NOT DISENGAGE BRAKES. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES WOULD NOT HOLD AT STOP SIGNS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE HAD ELECTRICAL SHORTS IN THE WIRING SUCH AS; THE HEADLIGHTS, CLOCK, CIGARETTE LIGHTER, ALARM AND DOOR LOCKS. THE SEAT BELTS WOULD NOT ALWAYS LATCH. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE, THERE WAS A SEVERE SHAKE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE, THE STEERING WOULD ACT ERRATIC AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHILE BACKING OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY.. *JB
