2007 Toyota Tundra

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD BEEN SHORTENED AFTER AN AUTHORIZED DEALER REPAIRED IT PER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V388000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE CONTACT WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE REPAIR AND INSTEAD REQUESTED A NEW PEDAL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THERE WAS A NEWLY DESIGNED PEDAL AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER; YET, THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THE PART DID NOT EXIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE NEW PEDAL WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE ONLY REMEDY AT THE TIME WAS TO SHORTEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK SINCE THE PEDAL COULD BECOME STUCK IN THE OPEN THROTTLE POSITION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 31,998. UPDATED 07/21/10. *LJ

LEFT HOME TO GO TO WORK. INTERSTATE IS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE FROM HOUSE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON FREEWAY SEVERAL DASH WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. TRUCK STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE MERGE AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER. TOOK MY TUNDRA TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY EMISSION AIR INDUCTION PUMPS. SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THE MAIN COMPUTER PUT MY TRUCK INTO A "LIMP" MODE THUS PREVENTING ME TO COMPLETE THE ACCELERATION. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE COULDN'T GIVE ME A REASON WHY TOYOTA HAS PROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER TO FAIL INTO LIMP MODE WHEN THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT HURT THE TRUCK DURING NORMAL ACCELERATION. AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB, I DISCOVERED MANY 2007 TO 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. RESTRICTING A VEHICLE TO PERFORM UP TO STANDARDS PUTS THE DRIVER IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE "LIMP" MODE HAS NO GOOD REASON OTHER THAN TO GET THE OWNER INTO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT! *TR

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000- VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL) AND HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. SINCE THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXHIBITING INSTANCES OF INCREASED ENGINE RPMS AND RAPID ACCELERATION EVEN WHEN MINIMAL PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND HAD THE GAS PEDAL FIXED LAST WEEK UNDER THE RECALL. SINCE THE REPAIR MY GAS PEDAL IS SUPER SENSITIVE TO PRESSURE. THE FRICTION TO PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN IS CONSIDERABLY LESS AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO LUNGE AS I ACCELERATE UNEVENLY. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE ON A BUMPY ROAD WHEN THE PRESSURE FROM MY FOOT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN AT AN EVEN PRESSURE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND NO ONE HAS EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. I HAVE SPENT THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR STORIES AND FOUND A COUPLE. IN MY OPINION THIS IS MORE SERIOUS THAN BEFORE THE SO CALLED FIX. I WANT THIS FIXED AND DO NOT SEEM TO BE GETTING ANYWHERE UNTIL MORE PEOPLE COME FORWARD. *TR

I TOOK MY 2007 TUNDRA FOR A MODIFICATION OF THE PEDAL TO TOYOTA. ON THE DATE BELOW. I AM CONCERN ABOUT THE WAY THE PEDAL IS WORKING. EVERY TIME THE TRUCK BOUNCES OR HITS A BUMP, MY TRUCK ACCELERATES, BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THE PEDAL. IT DID NOT DO THAT BEFORE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING IT BACK. AS SOON AS I CAN TAKE SOME TIME OFF OF WORK AGAIN. I JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW HOW THE MODIFICATION IS WORKING ON MY TUNDRA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
