| 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 didnt 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. | |||

| 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. similar issue with the 2007-up camry which was determined to be the torque converter. | |||

| 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 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| I feel a clunk in the transmission or rear end a few seconds after i come to a complete stop, it feels as if someone bumps me in the rear, only there's no car behind me. i complained about it at the dealer but they say they do not know how to fix it? now the bump is getting even more pronounced. also in the mornings the transmission will not change into 5th or 6th gear until i drive app. 1 mile. i am nearing 25,000 miles and would like these issues fixed before the expiration of my warranty. *tr | |||
