2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA Power Train Problems

Intermittent Transmission issue. Truck will not shift into 5th or 6th gear. Temporary fix is turning the car off and on again. Problem will eventually return. Is this a Software or Hardware issue? Is there a campaign or recall on this issue?

All Driveshaft Support Bearings failed and needed replaced.

Check engine light came on suddenly and acceleration slowed… truck will no longer go over 30 mph. Replaced radiator, driver air injection module, and regularly changed oil. no check engine light now the injection module was replaced but truck still will not go over 30 mph or 1800-2000 rpm’s.

While driving at speeds between 30 - 50 miles an hour. There is a very rough shudder coming from the transmission. It will get better by speeding up or by stopping the vehicle and turning the car off. When the shudder starts and you try to come to a stop the rear end of the vehicle shakes excessively. You think the back of the truck is going to skip off the road. Toyota did a manufacture service bulletin for this issue. However they only covered certain years and my VIN was not included in the fix. My vehicle now has 211000 miles and it is happening to my vehicle.

Transmission shifts very rough. When let off accelerator then back on the trans shift very rough. When coming to a stop and at a stop the trans jumps as if it’s downshifting while sitting still. These issues have been existing since I initially purchased the vehicle. It was reported and I was told it’s normal.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while idle at a traffic light and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle was jerking with a popping sound coming from underneath the vehicle near the middle and the rear end. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the yoke had separated from the driveshaft. The vehicle was not repaired by the mechanic and was instead taken to the dealer for a possible recall repair related to the failure. The dealer confirmed the diagnostic result however, the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 07V579000 (Power Train). The contact stated that the same failure had occurred 5 years prior and the vehicle was repaired out-of-pocket. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Mileage: 100,000

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE, ESC, AND VSC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AS I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 60MPH, THE TRUCK WENT INTO A LIMP MODE. I RESET THE ECM BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY BUT IT CAME BACK. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71K. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY EMISSIONS WARRANTY. CALLED THE DEALER AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY AFTER 10YRS. NOT GOOD!

THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED HOLES IN SOME SPOTS. EXHAUST IS RUSTED. EXHAUST HANGERS HAVE RUSTED APART. FUEL TANK HANGERS ARE RUSTED ALMOST APART. ALL BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED. TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING DUE TO MOUNTING BRACKETS BEING RUSTED. DRIVESHAFT HAS FALLEN APART DUE TO RUST. TERRIBLE CONDITION.

A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN MY 07 TUNDRA IN 2018 (DO TO IMPROPER SERVICE) WORKED WELL AT THAT TIME. IN 2019 TAIL SHAFT SEAL STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN WAS THEN REPLACED WITH A NEW SEAL GENIUNE TOYOTA SEAL HAS WORKED WELL FOR ABOUT 3K MILES AND HAS STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN IT SEEMS TO ONLY LEAK AFTER ONCE THE TRUCK GETS WARMED UP AND ONLY WHEN IT IS IN MOTION ON HWY OR STREETS. I AM SEEING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS! WILL INCLUDE LINKS. I SEE RECALLS FOR 07 4WD FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR THE 2WD WHY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM EXACTLY, AND FEEL THIS COULD BE A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT, FIRE OR DEATH.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS STATING THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN DISABLED. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF THIRD GEAR AND THE VSC BEING OFF IS CAUSING AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION DUE TO SLIPPING TIRES AROUND CORNERS AT NORMAL SPEEDS. UPON CHECKING THE ENGINE CODE P2714 AND P0751 I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THERE IS AN INTERNAL TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN CIRCULATING THEIR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS DATING BACK TO NOVEMBER 28, 2007 WHEN THIS ISSUE WAS FIRST DISCOVERED. THE BULLETIN IS NAMED TC017-07. ALSO UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS POSTS ABOUT THIS CODE AND THE EXACT ISSUES MY VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM ON MULTIPLE TOYOTA TUNDRA MESSAGE AND INTERNET CHAT GROUPS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH COULD EASILY CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE OR PROPERTY IF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE ARE SUDDENLY PRONE TO THE VSC AND TRANSMISSION ACTING ABNORMALLY. THIS ISSUE FOR ME CAME UP VERY SUDDENLY WITH NO PRIOR WARNING AS THE DASH LIGHTS CAME IN WHILE DRIVING. I WILL BE ASKING TOTOTA TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR COST WITH THE REMEDY THEY DESCRIBE IN THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN. THE REMEDY THEY RECOMMEND IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND REPROGRAM THE ECM.

I HAD ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE TRANSFER CASE STUCK IN 4WHEEL DRIVE LOW, AN ENGINE MISFIRE AND VIBRATION. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS AN AIR PUMP VALVE PROBLEM. HE CLEARED THE CODES IN THE COMPUTER AND I DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING IT DID THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK AND HE GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN. THE WEATHER HAS SINCE WARMED UP AND IT HASN'T DONE IT SINCE. THAT WAS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES. SO I TOOK IT TO FOSS TOYOTA IN CASPER, WY. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIX IT UNLESS IT MALFUNCTIONED RIGHT THERE ON THEIR LOT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS BY E-MAIL, I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WAS PHONED BY SOMEONE AT TOYOTA. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I SAY BULLCOOKIES. THOSE ENGINE FAIL CODES ARE STILL IN THE COMPUTER. AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE STALLING UNTIL MY 10 YEARS ARE UP THIS COMING SEPTEMBER. THIS AIR PUMP REPAIR IS A $5,000.00 TO $6,000.00 BILL. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD REPAIR MY TRUCK, I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM IN GOOD FAITH, I HAD TO HAVE A $1,000.00 + ENGINE BELT AND A WATER PUMP PUT ON IT ALREADY, AND NOW THIS? WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS WHEN DEALING WITH A LESS THAN HONEST COMPANY? WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE TRANSFER CASE STUCK IN 4WD. IT WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND I JUST STARTED IT UP ON A COLD MORNING. THANK YOU *TR

I HAD 2 OCCURRENCES OF UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION. BOTH EVENTS TRANSPIRED AS FOLLOWS: 1) APPLIED BRAKES IN PREPARATION OF STARTING ENGINE AND ENGAGING TRANSMISSION. 2) STARTED ENGINE, PUT IT IN "DRIVE" AND ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUMPED FORWARD. 3) I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED BRAKES WITH MAXIMUM EFFORT TO COUNTER THE ACCELERATION. 4) THREW SHIFTER INTO "NEUTRAL" WHILE ENGINE WAS MAXING RPMS, THEN I SHUT DOWN ENGINE. BOTH EVENTS WERE CLOSE CALLS. IF I HAD NOT HAD PRESENCE OF MIND I WOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE VEHICLE AND PROPERTY. VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED BY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY FOUND NO REASON FOR THE EVENTS. I CONTEND THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE AND NEED TO HAVE IT PURSUED. *TR

AFTER TRYING TO SWITCH MY TRUCK INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LO, THE 4 WHEEL LO LIGHT & SYMBOL WOULD FLASH AND NEVER ENGAGE. I TRIED MANY TIMES, MAKING SURE THE VEHICLE WAS ON A LEVEL SURFACE, AT A COMPETE STOP WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, SHIFTING FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL HI AND THEN PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND TRIED TO SWITCH INTO 4 WHEEL LO....NOTHING, IT WILL NOT ENGAGE. IT WILL HOWEVER SHIFT BACK TO 4 WHEEL HI AND BACK TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, I ONLY USE 4 WHEEL DRIVE HI, DURING SNOW STORMS IN NH AND ONLY USE 4 WHEEL LO TO DRIVE UP MY DRIVEWAY, IN VERY DEEP SNOW AMOUNTS (16"-20" DEPTHS). AFTER FINDING THIS VERY DISAPPOINTING PROBLEM, I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR THE DAY AND WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE TECH AND SERVICE MANGER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ACTUATOR HAS FAILED, THUS REQUIRING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSFER CASE, ACTUATOR AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM? ANY WAYS THIS WAS A TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH REFERRED THIS REMEDY FIX AND AT THE COST OF (DRUM ROLL PLEASE) $5,200.00 ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I'M AN EX AUTO MECHANIC AND PERFORM A MAJORITY OF MY SCHEDULED SERVICE AND GO TO TOYOTA FOR OTHER MAINTENANCE REPAIRS AND OR SERVICE, IN FACT MY ENTIRE FAMILY VEHICLE HISTORY CAN BE FOUND AT THIS DEALERSHIP PROVING OUR DUE DILIGENT VEHICLE UP KEEP AND LOYALTY. NOW DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY, THIS NH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT AND HELP US WITH MANY OTHER EXPENSIVE REPAIRS AND I'M NOT BLAMING THEM. I POINT THE BLAME AT THE TOYOTA CORPORATION, FOR NOT STEPPING UP TO MAKE THIS REPAIR AS A PRIORITY, AFTER ALL MY FAMILY HAS OWNED (10) TOYOTA VEHICLES OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS AND ALL OF THEM HAVE REACHED THE 150K - 180K MILES WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING. *TR

BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. NOTICED AROUND 23,450 MILES THAT SOMETHING WAS TURNING (SPINNING) AND FELT LIKE IT WAS COMING THROUGH THE DRIVERSIDE FLOOR . RIGHT UNDERNEATH MY FEET. BROUGHT IT IN TOYOTA SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. LATER HEARD NOISES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE NEAR LEFT TIRE. THEN SHAKING AND VIBRATIONS FOLLOWED. AROUND 60,000 MILES TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND CLUNKING NOISES CAME FROM THE ENGINE. 65,000 MILES STARTED LOSING POWER. FUEL PUMP FAILURE. PAID FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP SYSTEM $777.79. TURNS OUT 2007 MODEL HAS TO REPLACE WHOLE SYSTEM. NO OTHER TUNDRA NEEDS TO. AT 68,000 MILES IT GOT WORSE . TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTIC SAYS TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. $4500. AT 96,000 MILES MY TRUCK IN NON OPERATING. TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE TRANSMISSION. EVEN THOUGH A TOYOTA OPERATIONS MANAGER STATES IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT THIS SOON AT SO LITTLE MILEAGE. THE AVERAGE TIME IS BETWEEN 15-20 YEARS WITH THE HIGH TECHNOLOGY THAT CARS ARE BUILT WITH NOW A DAYS. IS WHAT HE SAID TO ME. OLDER CARS BUILT YEARS AGO TRANSMISSIONS NORMALLY LAST AROUND 5 YEARS SOMETIMES 10 IF THEY WERE LUCKY. SO SUPPOSEDLY OUR VEHICLES ARE BUILT SMARTER NOW ADAYS. I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. *JS

WHEN STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT/STOP SIGN FROM 40-50MPH, THE TRUCK STOPS NORMALLY. AFTER ABOUT 1.5 SECONDS WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRUCK GIVES A KICK. IT IS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT IT FEELS AS IF YOU HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. THE WHOLE TRUCK SHUTTERS. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO GIVES THE, "I CAN'T DUPLICATE IT" SPIELS. MY TRANNY FLUID WAS LOW DUE TO A LEAKING REAR SEAL SO THEY BLAMED IT ON THAT. THEY CHANGED THE ALUMINUM FRONT DRIVESHAFT AS THEY STATED IT CAUSED THE LEAK. PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY. DOES NOT HAPPEN AT ANY OTHER TIME. SUSPECT THE FIRST GEAR CLUTCH PACKS ARE RELEASING AND RE-ENGAGING. COULD BE MECHANICAL BUT IT IS ALSO A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ECU.

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.

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.

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.

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

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 DOUBLE CAB AND HAVE HAD ALL OF MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE COMPLETED ON TIME AND AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE MADE THE COMPLAINT OF MY GAS PEDAL STICKING AND MY FLOOR MATS WERE NOT AN ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THEY "FIXED" THE RECALL PROBLEM WITH ADDING A PART TO THE GAS PEDAL. SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BACK, IT HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. THE GAS PEDAL STILL ACCELERATES ON ITS ON OR DECELERATES ON ITS ON. THE GAS PEDAL "FLOATS" WITH YOUR FOOT SO THE ENGINE IS CONSTANTLY MAKING THE RPM'S RISE AND FALL CONSTANTLY UPON RIDING OVER BUMPS OR HILLS. I DON'T WANT A "PART" TO BE INSTALLED, I WANT THE ENTIRE PEDAL TO BE REPLACED! I LIKE MY TRUCK, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN CORRECTLY AND IS CONSTANTLY MAKING A TICKING SOUND LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE WOULD SOUND. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TELLING ME IT IS OK AND NOTHING IS WRONG. TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT MADE TO JUST DOWN SHIFT 3 GEARS RIGHT OFF THE BAT ON THE INTERSTATE ON FLAT GROUND. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO TRY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS THEY PROCLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THEY ARE CRAZY! PULLING A HORSE TRAILER MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND IT WAS IN TOW MODE. IT TOOK 1 MILE OR LONGER FOR IT TO SHIFT FROM 1/2 GEAR TO 4 GEAR AND THE RPM'S WERE OVER 2,500.. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I FELT IT WOULD NEVER SHIFT DOWNWARD FROM 1/2 GEAR. I AM AFRAID TO PULL MY HORSES WITH THE TRANSMISSION ACTING THIS WAY. *TR

BOUGHT MY TUNDRA IN 07 . IN 09 OF JAN. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA STATING AFTER BRAKING IT FELT LIKE BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. TOYOTA REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT. IN OCT. OF 09 IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO TOYOTA THEY SAID THEY REPLACED IT ONCE & WOULD NOT REPLACE IT AGAIN & THAT IT WOULD KEEP HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I'VE EMAILED TOYOTA , CALLED CUSTOMER CARE THEY SAID ITS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TUNDRA. I ONLY HAVE 42000 MILES ON TRUCK. IF I WOULD OF KNOWN THIS I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LEMON LAW WAS ONLY 2 YEARS & THAT WOULDNT HELP. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE. *TR

VEHICLE HARD TO STOP WITH A/C OR HEADLIGHTS ON. ENGINE IDLES NORMALLY 5-600 RPM, UNTIL PARKING LIGHTS OR A/C IS TURNED ON. THEN IT IDLES AT 800 RPM IN GEAR. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN REAR ENDED, AFTER COMING TO A STOP. IF DRIVING SURFACE IS SLIPPERY AND PUT INTO GEAR WITH HEAD LIGHTS ON, THE REAR TIRES WILL BEGIN TO SPIN, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURENCE THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERS WITH NO RELIEF. ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT THE COMPUTER SAYS EVERYTHING IS OKAY. TURNING THE PARKING LIGHTS ON DOES NOT CAUSE ENOUGH LOAD ON THE ENGINE TO WARRANT THE EXTRA 200 OR MORE RPM. THE OTHER DAY ( 01/26/2010 ) I WAS TURNING AROUND IN A MUDDY DRIVEWAY AND WHILE IDLING I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK WENT STRAIGHT, EVEN AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES, LEAVING TWO BIG RUTS THROUGH MY FRIENDS YARD. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE GROUND BEING SLIPPERY AND THE HIGH IDLE SPEED. I AM SURE THAT THIS WILL CUT DOWN ON THE LIFE OF THE BRAKES. 4.7 V8 ENGINE *CN

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA - 4X4. SEVERAL TIMES I NOTICED THAT IT HAD MOVED FROM WHERE I PARKED IT. IT HAD MOVED FROM THE SPOT THAT I HAD PLACED IT AND ROLLED BACKWARDS, DOWN A FAIRLY STEEP GRADE, A DISTANCE OF AROUND 20 FEET. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO REPLICATE THE INCIDENT AND DISCOVERED THE FOLLOWING: WHEN PARKED ON A HILL WITHOUT THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT "LOCK" IN PARK WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED ONLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO PARK IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING THE ANTI SKID (TRACTION CONTROL) RESPOND TO A SLIPPERY CONDITION. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE PROBLEM ALSO DOES NOT OCCUR IF THE AUTOMATED ANTI SKID RESPONSE DOES NOT ACTIVATE ITSELF. THE ROLLING DOES NOT ALWAYS BEGIN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE NOT YET TRIED TO GET THE SAME RESPONSES WHILE BACKING THE TRUCK UP THE HILL IN REVERSE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IN WARREN, OHIO ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2009. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ANYONE WHO MAY FIND THEMSELVES BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT BEGINS TO ROLL. *TR

A FRIEND AND I WERE ATTEMPTING TO LAUNCH HIS JETSKI. I BACKED MY TRUCK DOWN THE BOAT RAMP AND MY FRIEND WAS ON THE JETSKI. MY FRIEND WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE JETSKI TO COME OFF THE TRAILER SO, I PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND GOT OUT TO SHOVE THE JETSKI OFF. AS I GOT OUT I NOTICED THE TRUCK LUNGE AND START TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I ATTEMPTED TO REACH MY FOOT BACK IN TO HIT THE BRAKE. BY THIS TIME MY SHOES WERE WET AND BECAUSE OF THE POSITION OF MY BODY, MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SMASHED THE GAS PEDAL WHICH CAUSED TRUCK TO TAKE OFF IN REVERSE. AS I WAS STILL HALFWAY IN AND OUT OF THE TRUCK THE DOOR DRUG ME DOWN THE BOAT RAMP AND UNDER THE WATER WITH THE TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET FREE AND HAD NO SERIOUS INJURIES. THE TRUCK HOWEVER WAS FULLY SUBMERGED AND THE JETSKI TRAILER WAS BROKEN IN THE PROCESS. NOTE: THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS CHANGED OUT UNDER A WARRANTY CLAIM AT AROUND 10,000 MILES BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX I FEEL A CLUNK IN THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR END A FEW SECONDS AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT FEELS AS IF SOME OTHER CAR HAS BUMPED ME IN THE REAR AND THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE THUMP IS MUCH WORSE THAN OTHER TIMES. THIS STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A SUDDEN STOP I MADE WHEN AN ANIMAL CROSSED THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVEN'T HAD MY DEALER CHECK THIS YET BUT I NOW REALIZE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO I WILL GET IT TO THE DEALER SOON.

AFTER PARKING THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, I WENT BACK INTO THE TRUCK . AS I STARTED THE TRUCK THE 4-WHEEL LO LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH WITH AN INDICATOR BEEP. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE TRUCK WAS IN 2-WHEEL DRIVE AND NEVER ENGAGED IN ANY 4-WHEEL OPERATION. AT THE POINT OF THIS I TRIED TO PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND IT WAS NOT THERE IT WAS NEUTRAL, SO THEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THAT WAS NEUTRAL ALSO, I REPEATED THIS 4 OR 5 TIMES IN DISBELIEF. AT THAT POINT I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE NOT REALIZING THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE NO PARK. I THEN WALKED ALONG SIDE THE TRUCK AND SO IT ROLL DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND HIT THE GARAGE. THE TRUCK ONLY ROLLED ABOUT 20 FEET APPROX, BUT CAUSED ABOUT $5,000.00 IN DAMAGE BETWEEN THE 2. I PRECEDED TO THEN CALL HOFFMAN TOYOTA AND EXPLAIN. THE DEALER WAS ACCOMMODATING AT FIRST OFFERING A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE THEY RAN TESTS. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT IN ALL HIS TIME IN THE BUSINESS HE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, SAYING ONLY OPERATOR ERROR COULD CAUSE THIS. MY FRUSTRATION LEVEL WAS RISING BUT REMAINED CALM. ALONG THE WAY I WAS TALKING TO TOYOTA CORP ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND HAD A CASE MANAGER APPOINTED TO ME. TOYOTA CORP HAD SENT A FIELD TECH TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER REVIEW. HIS TEST ALSO SHOWED NO VEHICLE ERROR FOUND AND THAT NO RELATED CASES OF TRANSMISSIONS COMING OUT OF PARK. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS WOULD ONLY BE POSSIBLE FROM OPERATOR ERROR. SO I NOW HAD TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY HOUSE GARAGE AND TRUCK REPAIR. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE I HAD A FRIEND ASK ME IF I LOOKED INTO THE NTSB.GOV WEBSITE, AND I SAID NO, WE THEN PROCEEDED TO THE SITE AND IT TOOK APPROX. 10 SECONDS TO SEE A RELATED OCCURRENCE WITH A 2007 TUNDRA WITH 16,000 MILES AND HAPPENED TWICE TO THE INDIVIDUAL. I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE PARKING THIS TRUCK THINKING THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION AND WHAT CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN AT WILL IS UNCLEAR. *TR
