I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB SHORT BED TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS A REOCCURING RESONATING BOUNCE WHEN DRIVING ON CONCRETE ROADS BETWEEN 70 AND 80 MPH. THE BOUNCE IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAN BECOME SEVERE. ONLY A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN SPEED WILL STOP THE BOUNCING. SEVERAL ON LINE FORUMS ARE CALLING THIS PROBLEM "BED BOUNCE"

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2000 TUNDRA ACCESS CAB TRUCK WITH 62,000 MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I HAD IT DIAGNOSED. THE FRONT O2 SENSOR BEFORE THE CAT HAS FAILED. I WROTE TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 7 YRS OR 90,000 MILES. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS ALSO UP TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO DECIDE IF THE FAULT WOULD BE COVERED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A RELATIVE, WHO IS NOW DECEASED, AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RECALL INFO. I WROTE TO TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME TO TALK TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHP. I TALKED TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO WRITE OR CALL THE TOYOTA EXPERIENCE DEPARTMENT, OR WHAT EVER IT IS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE GETTING RIPPED OFF FOR A DEFECT IN FACTORY PROVIDED PARTS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS. I DEFINATELY THINK THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY TOYOTA. I FOR ONE CAN NOT AFFORD TO OWN A VEHICLE THAT IS GOING TO COST $200.00 TO $800.00 EVERY 6 MONTHS TO 2 YEARS. THIS ALSO AFFECTS THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS TO BE SMOGGED EVERY 2 YEARS.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) SUBJECT: UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION EVENT WITH 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA, [XXX] , FOLLOWING RECALL TO INSERT ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHIM THE PURPOSE OF THIS LETTER IS TO DOCUMENT AND INFORM YOU OF AN 'UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION' EVENT THAT I EXPERIENCED WITH MY 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA ON THE AFTERNOON OF FEBRUARY 27, 2010. THE EVENT WAS EXPERIENCED WITHIN 10 MINUTES/3.5 MILES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING DEALER-SERVICE WORK THAT INCLUDED, AMONG OTHER ITEMS, IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TOYOTA RECALL TO INSERT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHIM (SSC). THIS IS THE ONLY SUCH EVENT EXPERIENCED TO DATE WITH THIS TRUCK. THE EVENT WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED AND THE ENGINE IDLING NORMALLY (APPROXIMATELY 800 RPM), I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IN PREPARATION OF SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO DRIVE. MY FOOT WAS WELL CENTERED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOT IN CONTACT AT ALL WITH THE THROTTLE PEDAL. THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN ENGINE SPEED AT THIS POINT. I THEN SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO DRIVE. AS SOON AS THE DRIVE POSITION WAS ENGAGED, WITH MY FOOT UNCHANGED FROM ITS FIRM POSITION ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE SPEED IMMEDIATELY WENT TO FULL THROTTLE. AS I HEARD THE ENGINE SPEED UP, I APPLIED FULL PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN ITS STATIONARY POSITION. THE REAR WHEELS BROKE LOOSE FROM THE PAVEMENT AND BEGAN SPINNING; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE REMAINED STATIONARY, HELD BY THE BRAKING OF THE FRONT WHEELS. FORTUNATELY, THE PAVEMENT WAS WET, WHICH FACILITATED THE REAR WHEELS LOSING TRACTION WITH THE PAVEMENT. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHILE THE DRIVE POSITION WAS STILL ENGAGED. ONCE THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN, I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN THE PARK POSITION. AS I NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO PLACE MY FOOT ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL BEFORE THE EVENT OCCURRED, IT WAS NOT MECHANICAL IN NATURE AND CAN ONLY BE ATTRIBUTED TO AN ELECTRICAL/CONTROL ISSUE. *TR

TOYOTA RECALL NOTICE FOR ACCELERATOR PEDAL. NOT SURE WHAT IS DETERMINED TO BE A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE TOYOTA DEALER TO SCHEDULE REPAIRS. MY EXPERIENCE, TODAY(3-22-10) I CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT, AN WAS GIVEN A DATE FOR THREE WEEKS LATER(4-9-10). IF THIS COULD BE LIFE THREATING DEFECT, I WOULD THINK TOYOTA WOULD HAVE DEALERS ON EXTENDED HOURS AND SATURDAYS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THEY HAVE IN THE RECALL. *DT
