VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE OVERDRIVE INDICATOR ON THE DASH DISPLAY AT TIMES WILL INDICATE THAT THE OD IS OFF WHEN IT IS IN FACT ON AND INDICATE IT IS ON WHEN IN FACT IT IS OFF. THE ENGINE MUST BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA FOR THE FRONT BALL JOINTS. I HAVE CALLED 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME MY NAME IS SUPPOSEDLY PLACED ON A LIST TO CALL AS SOON AS THE PART ARRIVES. WELL, 90 DAYS LATER I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ANYONE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD MY INFORMATION WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN DOWN AND THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PART ARRIVED, I ESCALATED AND SPOKE TO THE MANAGER TO SAID THE PART WAS IN BUT IT COULD ONLY BE INSTALLED ON 7/25/07, NO OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK WOULD WORK SINCE HIS STAFF IS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL? I GUESS THEY JUST EXPECT ME TO QUIT MY JOB IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I ALSO ESCALATED THIS ISSUE TO THE MANAGER OF SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LAKE NORMAN DEALERSHIP WHERE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED. THEY KEPT TRANSFERRING ME TO SERVICE DEPT THEN TO PARTS, AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I ASKED IF THEY WOULD EVEN HONOR THE RECALL NOTICE AND THEY SAID YES, BUT I HAVE TO BE TRANSFERRED AGAIN, NO ONE EVER ANSWERED. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS WAY TO LONG AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY TOYOTA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THE VEHICLE AND THIS WASN'T MY FAULT, I WISH SOMEONE COULD HELP! I DO NOT TRUST ANY OF THE DEALERS I HAVE SPOKE TO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE ALL LYING TO ME AND TRYING TO GET OUT OF REPAIRING MY TRUCK. *TR

PARKING BRAKE
I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX SR5 WITH THE 5.7L V8. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN Y APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH FORCE TO HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE ON ITS OWN WHEN ON A HILL. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE WITH THE TRUCK IN DRIVE , BUT NOT APPLYING ANY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD WITH VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS HOW THE ENGINEERS DESIGNED IT. THEY DID AGREE TO TIGHTEN IT DOWN FURTHER AT MY REQUEST, AND WHEN THEY TRIED TO SHOW ME THAT IT WAS FIXED, IT AGAIN BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO APPLY THE NORMAL BRAKE. I WAS THEN AGAIN TOLD THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR ASSISTANCE, AND THAT I SHOULD NOT EXPECT THE PARKING BRAKE TO HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE ON ITS OWN. I ASKED HOW IT COULD ASSIST WHEN IT COULDN'T EVEN HANDLE IT ON ITS OWN, AND WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE TRUCK HAS 381 HP AND THAT'S A LOT OF HP FOR THE TRUCK TO STOP, AND WHEN I SAID THAT IT DIDN'T HAVE 381 HP AT 600 RPMS I WAS LAUGHED AT AND TOLD AGAIN THAT IT WA SONLY FOR ASSISTANCE. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DC 5.7L LIMITED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN I GOT INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ANOTHER CAR CHANGED LANES IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS FORCED TO SLAM THE BRAKES. THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED AND SLOWED VEHICLE DOWN , BUT THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING PUSHED FORWARD... BY THIS TIME I HAD ENOUGH ROOM IN FRONT OF ME, SO I LET OFF THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK JUMPED LIKE I WAS HOLDING MY FOOT ON THE GAS. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN. I SLAMMED ON THE Y BRAKES AGAIN AND THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN, AND THE TRUCK WAS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT I HELD THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH THAT I DIDN'T HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AT THIS POINT I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. I STUCK THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN I GOT STOPPED I HAD 3 LIGHTS ON ., BRAKE, VSC, AND A PICTURE OF A CAR WITH 2 CROOKED LINES ON IT. I BELIEVED IT WAS TRACTION CONTROL. BY NOW THE TRUCK WAS NORMAL AGAIN BUT THE LIGHTS WERE ON SO I TOOK THE TRUCK STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER . *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I PURCHASED A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN MARCH OF 2007. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES WARPING THE ROTORS. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE BRAKE PROBLEMS IN 2002 ON THIS MODEL. THE BULLETIN REQUIRED A LARGER BRAKE CALIPER AND PADS BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WAS TO SMALL TO HANDLE THE TRUCK WEIGHT. THE FACTORY INSTALLED SYSTEM WAS HEATING UP AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM. MY CONTENTION IS THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE FACTORY INSTALLED BRAKES ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO MECHANICS ON THREE OCCASIONS. ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. MECHANICS FROM THESE LOCATIONS AND FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ADVISE ME THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE BULLETIN CALLED FOR CALIPERS ARE INSTALLED. WITH THE PROBLEM AS IT IS, THE TRUCK IS HARD TO STOP WHEN BREAKING FROM 50 MPH AND UP. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH A SHAKING OCCURS IN THE FRONT BRAKES, STOPPING DISTANCE IS INCREASED AND CONTROLLABILITY IS HARDER TO MAINTAIN. TOOK VEHICLE TO TOYOTA DEALER IN TOWN, AND HE SAID THE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED OVERHAULING, AND THAT THERE WERE TWO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS BR004-02 AND BR003-2 DETAILING THE PROBLEM AND FIX. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WOULD COST. *AK
