Suddenly, I discovered that my fuel tank showing as if it's about to drop on the ground. As I inspected, the fuel tank rear strap broke off the frame due to corrosion. the strap itself was not the issue, part of the corroded frame was still attached to the strap. When I took the truck to my local Mechanic, further inspection showed worse signs of corrosion in the entire frame and in every part connected to the frame as well; suspension parts, brake parts, emergency brake parts, spare tire hinge; etc. Against my disagreement with Toyota dealership, I had the truck painted by Toyota as they recommended during the frame recall in February of 2018. I wanted to replace the frame, based on other professionals advice, but Toyota Dealership insisted that my truck frame is in good shape it ONLY n

I bought a 2007 Toyota Tundra less than 3 months ago from Toyota of Simi Valley. 2 months ago my check engine light and other warning lights suddenly went on while I was driving and my truck went into “limp mode” while merging onto a freeway, causing other drivers to swerve around me to avoid a collision. I took the truck back to Toyota and they advised the Air injection pump and air control valve need to be replaced. Total cost to repair is almost $4,000. I purchased at Bronze level extended warranty which covers up to 24,000 miles but the insurance carrier denied the claim saying these items are excluded, despite these items not being listed on their “excluded items list”. Toyota then offered to pay 1/2 the total cost of repairs, which in of itself is an admission of guilt. I’ve only mad

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Gas tank cover plate is rusting out causing the tank to almost fall out. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and others safety was put at risk as if the tank were to fall out, it could catch the vehicle on fire. Also as the plate rusts even more day by day, the heat from the exhaust and other parts that heat up it can damage the gas tank and once again is a fire hazard. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, there are no open recalls from what I can’t tell by the vin but same year has same problems and are under recall. Not sure why this one isn’t under recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by th
The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the frame of the vehicle was severely corroded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel tank crossmember was corroded and the sub frame was severely corroded on both the driver’s and passenger’s side. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under an unknown frame corrosion recall because the recall had already expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.
I had my 2007 57,800 mile tundra inspected at my Toyota dealer when I was informed that the frame/under vehicle is "very rusty". Upon inspection by myself the entire frame is rusting and flaking off. The service tech played stupid and referred me to corporate(800-331-4331). She also said it passed inspection and there are no holes in the frame. I guess that makes it all ok. Corporate informed me that my truck has no "warranty service enhancements" at this time. They are aware of the problem but can offer me no further assistance with this issue, at this time. I should not have severe rust issues with a garage kept 2007 tundra(or any vehicle) at 57,800 miles that I purchased new. I suspect the vehicle will have safety issues within the next 2 years due to the severe rusting of the fra

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Toyota tundra. The contact was driving approximately 5 MPH in inclement weather in 4-wheel drive. The contact applied the brakes and the vehicle did not stop. The vehicle skidded across the roadway while shaking violently and exhibiting an abnormal grinding noise. The contact was able to bring the vehicle to a stop by shifting into park. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnosis of the failure or repairs. The contac stated that the vehicle was previously repaired for the same failure and the dealer performed a front end alignment and rotated all four tires.

I took my tundra into the dealership where I bought it, for the power window motor recall. The airbag light had been coming on for about a year. They informed me that that means the airbag is inoperable. I asked them to check and tell me what the issue was. They ran a check,(code b1801) and said to rule out some other problem they would first have to change out the spiral cable assembly, at my cost. Apparently that fixed the issue. It seems odd to me that with 8 million spiral cable assembly's under recall, that that would be the issue here, and it is not covered by the recall. The total cost was $507.13, to me. Do I have any recourse? Toyota customer service gave me this website address to report the issue, since they are unwilling to take any responsibility here. They said "they can't

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
Recently while driving my 2007 Toyota tundra, my driveshaft fell out of the slip yoke at the front of the truck behind the transmission. After a shuttering of the truck I finally stopped. Luckily, I was only going 10 MPH and the damage was limited to the requirement for my drive shaft to be replaced. This is an item identified by Toyota as a problem, however, my VIN was not included in the safety recall. It seems with limited mileage on the vehicle, a catastrophic failure of the drive train would not have taken place. Updated 01/23/14*lj updated 01/23/14

2007 Toyota tundra double cab 4x2 5.7ltr v-8. Vehicle has an extreme and dangerous "bed bounce" or vibration at all regular highway speeds on concrete type freeways with expansion joints. The vehicle becomes very unstable and feels as if control will be lost. It is completely unbearable. Dealer reports similar complaints from other 2007 Toyota tundra owners. All 2007 tundra models exhibit this failure and it stems from a design flaw in the chassis/suspension. Event began from the day the vehicle was driven off the dealership lot (11/25/07) and continues to date. Toyota needs to address this serious matter and correct the issue. *tr
I recently purchases a used 2007 Toyota tundra double cab from a private party. I test drove the vehicle on ac pavement with no major issues, but upon purchasing and driving on my typical freeway commute traveling at normal speeds (55-70mph) it shakes violently. The shaking resonated at one point so violently that I lost control of the vehicle and had to drastically slow down to regain control. I am fearful of my safety and that of any passengers, especially my children. I have subsequently found forum information online that speaks to this "bed bounce" problem, and a relevant tsb from Toyota. However, I cannot find an official tsb from Toyota online or a genuine fix to the problem. Please help because I feel like I just bought a vehicle that is not safe to drive, and needless to say very
