POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX 5.7 HAS SERIOUS VIBRATION FROM 30-40 MPH. WHEN YOU LET UP ON ACCELERATOR THE PROBLEM CEASES. IF THE TRANSMISSION CHANGES GEARS THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. DEALERSHIP HAS DRIVEN THE TRUCK AND CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT FIX PROBLEM UNTIL "FIX" IS KNOWN. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE
MY TAILGATE IS CRACKING ALONG THE INSIDE SEEM. THIS LOOKS TO BE A COMMON FLAW JUDGING BY THE TOYOTA FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. I DON'T EVEN HAVE 4000 MILES ON MY TRUCK, AND HAVE ONLY USED IT FOR LIGHT/MEDIUM DUTY. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK AND THIS LOOKS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION
THIS TRUCK JUMPS EXCESSIVELY AND WOBBLES IN A AGGRESSIVE MATTER IT CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOSE CONTROL NOT TO MENTION LOOSE YOUR APPETITE WHEN I GOT THIS TRUCK I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS GOING TO HAVE ON OVERALL BETTER RIDE, CONTROL AND HANDLING BUT YET IT DOES NOT COMPARE TO LAST YEARS MODEL. I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IS TRYING TO LOOK INTO HOW THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT ALL I CAN SAY IS SPREAD THE WORD TELL OWNERS SPEAK UP AND FORCE THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR PAY THE BAD RAP. *JB

SUSPENSION:REAR
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 TUNDRA SUSPENSION THAT CAUSES A MECHANICAL RESONANCE ON VARIOUS CONCRETE ROADS. THIS RESULTS IN A "SHAKING", "BOUNCING", "WOBBLING" THAT IS SEEMINGLY SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE INJURIES IN YOUNG OR ELDERLY PASSENGERS AT LEGAL SPEED LIMITS. FURTHERMORE THE WOBBLING COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I AM CERTAIN THAT IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED, IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO INJURY. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THIS IS "NORMAL". HOWEVER, USING ANY GOOD JUDGMENT AT ALL, I WOULD NOT CONSCIOUSLY EXPOSE AN INFANT PASSENGER TO THIS "NORMAL" WOBBLE. THIS OCCURS ON ROADS THAT CONSIST OF CONCRETE SLABS. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS AN AREA WITH SUCH HIGHWAYS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE ON I-5, I-405, I-110 TO NAME A FEW. *JB

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR, SUSPENSION:REAR
UNRESOLVED SAFETY ISSUES WITH 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA: 1. TOWING MIRRORS VIBRATE, PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TOYOTA CASE # 200704230738. MIRRORS ARE UNUSABLE ABOVE 40MPH DUE TO VIBRATION. 2. BED BOUNCE IS SO SEVERE ON SOME ROADS, PARTICULARLY I-10 BETWEEN INDIO AND LOS ANGELES, THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CARRY ON A NORMAL CONVERSATION. DEALER RESPONSE TO BOTH ISSUES HAS BEEN THEY ALL DO THIS, SO THEY CANNOT MAKE A FIX UNTIL TOYOTA COMES UP WITH A SOLUTION. INTERNET REPORTS PROVE THAT THE DEALER IS CORRECT: ALL TUNDRAS HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. THUS THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE DEALER, BUT IS INDICATIVE OF FIRST-YEAR PRODUCTION PROBLEMS. HOPEFULLY TOYOTA CAN RESOLVE THIS TO AVOID INVOKING LEMON LAW PROTECTION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:SHOES/LININGS
VEHICLE PURCHASED 5/2002. BRAKES PULSATING & VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING HAVE RESURFACED NUMEROUS TIMES, HAD FRONT ROTORS REPLACED AND THEN RESURFACED AGAIN AFTER THE REPLACEMENT, YET THE PULSATING AND VIBRATIONS CONTINUE TO RECUR APPROX 3-6 MILES AFTER ANY REPAIR WORK. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE REAR DRUM AND FRONT DISCS NOT WORKING COHESIVELY. FRONT DISCS HAVE ALL THE BREAKING BURDEN. NO FAILURES YET OR INJURIES BECAUSE WE ARE SO WORRIED THAT WE BRAKE FAR AHEAD OF TIME TO ENSURE WE STOP ON TIME WITH ALL THE VIBRATION AND SHIMMYING GOING ON. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURE; CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSING FORCED EXHAUST EMISSIONS INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE CARBON EMISSIONS COATING THE INTERIOR OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THUS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH; ALSO EXHAUST FUMES CAN MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND THUS CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS AND RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND POTENTIAL DEATH. THIS IS THE 3RD FAILURE SO FAR. *JB

SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY
WE BOUGHT A NEW 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB IN AUGUST. WE DISCOVERED ON CERTAIN FREEWAYS (CONCRETE) THE BED BOUNCE IS TERRIBLE. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER TRUCKS IN THE PAST AND ALL OF THEM HAVE HAD A SMALL AMOUNT OF BED BOUNCE, BUT THIS VERHICLE IS UNSAFE. THE ENTIRE TRUCK BOUNCES TO THE EXTENT THAT MY HUSBAND GETS SICK TO HIS STOMACH AFTER A 20 MINUTE DRIVE. I REFUSE TO TAKE MYSELF OR OUR GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. ONE OF THESE DAYS THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA DEALER IN OUR AREA REFUSES TO DRIVE MORE THAN A 5-10 MILE RADIUS ON A TEST DRIVE SO THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WE HAVE MENTIONED. THIS SAFTEY FACTOR NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
OVER THREE MONTHS AGO, I CALLED DAVID MAUS TOYOTA IN SANFORD TO GET THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON MY 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA PER RECALL SSC 70B. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT DID. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM YET AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY PHONE CALLS. THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK IS ACTING UN-STABLE AT THIS TIME AND I FEAR THAT I MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. *TR
