| 7/2007 purchased 07 tundra w/maint plan&extended warranty 9/2010 4342miles southcoast toyota-maintenance,we asked them to take a look at surface rust. they noted it and said was due to salt air 2/2012 6504miles southcoast toyota to perform brake service. apparently brake pad had fallen off due to corrosion of calipers & pins and they refuse to service the truck because it would be too much to repair but refuse to even give us estimate. they said the corrosion has compromised the safety of the truck, but not covered under warranty. we were told that we did not drive the vehicle enough and that's why it is rusted so badly all over (truck was driven locally at least 3 or 4 times a week by elderly couple). we requested a copy of field reps report, but they said it is proprietory info we do not have access to. service manager rudely asked us to remove our truck from the dealership but we cannot drive it off because brakes not operating properly. were told to take the 5 yr old truck with 6500 miles to the junk yard. during 2010 maintenance when they were aware of corrosion, we should have been advised of possible brake failure or weakened structure due to rust that would occur in less than two years time. instead elderly couple continued driving vehicle until unsafe to drive without being advised of how severe of condition the truck is. they have lived by the beach (2 miles from dealership) for 30 yrs & owned a few trucks, never rust so bad. toyota is fortunate that no one was hurt driving this vehicle & they should do what they can to take this unsafe truck off the roads. instead they deny any possibility that the corrosion may be a defect & is allowing this truck to possibly end up being driven since they are willing to release it. its obvious this is not the 1st toyota known to have corrosion issue and though not perforation, the rust is an oversight by toyota. | |||

| 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 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. his address iscorporate headquarters* 1 toyota-cho toyota city, aichi 471-8571 japan phone: 81 5 6528 2121 fax: 81 5 6523 5800 i hope everyone that has a problem will send a certified letter to him and let him know how embarrassed the toyota co. should be for the way they are handling the problems. i for one will go back to gm as they will half try to help | |||

| My truck suddenly lost about 80% of its power and would hardly accelerate. very difficult to merge into traffic. dealer said this was due to failure of the secondary air intake valve. this appears to be very common in 2007 toyota tundras. | |||

| Left home to go to work. interstate is approximately 1/2 mile from house. while attempting to merge on freeway several dash warning lights appeared on my 2007 toyota tundra. truck stopped accelerating on the merge and i was almost rear ended by an eighteen wheeler. took my tundra to the dealer service department and was told i had an issue with my emission air induction pumps. service tech told me that the main computer put my truck into a limp mode thus preventing me to complete the acceleration. he also stated that he couldn't give me a reason why toyota has programed the computer to fail into limp mode when the problem would not hurt the truck during normal acceleration. after researching the web, i discovered many 2007 to 2010 toyota tundra owners have experienced the same issue. restricting a vehicle to perform up to standards puts the the driver in a very dangerous situation. especially when the limp mode has no good reason other than to get the owner into the dealer service department! | |||

| I own a 2007 toyata tundra and had the gas pedal fixed last week under the recall. since the repair my gas pedal is super sensitive to pressure. the friction to push the pedal down is considerably less and causes the truck to lunge as i accelerate unevenly. it is most noticeable on a bumpy road when the pressure from my foot is impossile to maintain at an even pressure. i contacted the dealer and was told that thousands have been repaired and no one has ever complained about this. i have spent the last several hours searching the internet for similar stories and found a couple. in my opinon this is more serious than before the so called fix. i want this fixed and do not seem to be getting anywhere until more people come forward. | |||

| On saturday, march 13, 2010 around 4:30 to 5:00pm, my wife jenny devereaux exited nw 5th court from i95 to nw 71 street in miami, florida. as she was approaching the stop sign on 71st street, she commenced to press the brakes. to her demise, after pushing the brake pedal to stop, the vehicle, a 2007 toyota tundra crew cab did not stop, instead, automatically increased speed to over 20 mph. she was forced to make a left turn on 71st street to avoid an accident or from crashing until a 1990 to 1994 green ford explorer going at speeds well over 50 mph on nw 5th court coming from the east to west, rammed/crashed into the front passenger side of the toyota tundra as my wife was making the left trying to evade traffic and make the tundra stop. his ford explorer completely totaled the tundra. i then arrived at the scene to find my wife with serious injuries and took her to the er. i was so glad to see she was alive and was able to carefully transport her to the hospital. if someone would have crashed into the driver side or a front end collision occurred, my wife would definitely have not survived. i feel, god was on her side that day and gave her a second chance at life. the man in the green ford explorer could have slowed down and stopped, but did not. maybe, if he didn | |||
