I have been involved in two rear end accidents that i pressed the brake down with no response and ended up in a minor accident going less than 10 miles per hour each time. Also my running lights stop working and have had 4 wheel drive get stuck in that position until i had to look at the book to free it but no longer use it
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 FRONT OF MY VEHICLE GIVES A VIBRATION AND SHAKES REAL BAD JUST HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING MY TRUCK
THE FRAME AND TRUCK BED HAVE SEVERE RUST ISSUES. THE TRUCK BED IS SHACKING NOW WHEN DRIVING. THE FRAME WAS "SPRAYED" WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON WINCHESTER ROAD THEY HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF RUST ON THE FRAME AND ON THE TRUCK BED AND ADVICE ME TO RID OF THE CAR BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN TRADE FOR ANOTHER CAR. I HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED BY MY MECHANIC BEFORE I BOUGHT AND THE CAR SEEMS TO BE OK. LATE ON ANOTHER MECHANIC POINTED OUT SEVERE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS INSPECT THE TRUCK AND SAID THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW MYSEFL HOW TO GET A NEW FRAME AND A NEW TRUCK BED BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO CONTACT. MY MECHANIC ADVICE ME TO CONTACT NHTSA.
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 TUNDRA WITH ONLY 62K MILES, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CONTROLLER FAILED, CAUSING ALL FOUR WHEELS (BRAKES) ON MY 2007 TUNDRA TO LOCK UP IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THANKFULLY, I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. THE LOCKUP OCCURRED WHEN I TOUCHED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT IF I HAD BEEN ON A FREEWAY TRAVELING AT A HIGHER SPEED. DEALER REPLACEMENT COST ESTIMATE: $3700. ONLY CAUSE GIVEN FOR THE FAILURE WAS "AGE".
WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED, ABS CONTROLLER FAILED CAUSING VEHICLE BRAKES TO LOCK RESULTING IN A SUDDEN STOP IN TRAFFIC.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WAS CORRODED, EVEN THOUGH AN ANTI CORRODING AGENT HAD BEEN APPLIED TO THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND CALIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED PREMATURELY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND A DEALER WHO BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE CORROSION WAS PAST THE POINT OF REPAIR AND THAT A NEW SUBFRAME WOULD BE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.
ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 40 MPH BUT THE VIBRATION IS PRESENT AT ANY SPEED. THE PROBLEM FELT LIKE POSSIBLY WARPED ROTORS SO THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM REMAINS AT ANY SPEED AND IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ABS WARNING LAMP, STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LAMP, BRAKE WARNING LAMP, AND THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 154,930.
THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD THE TRUCK. RIGHT FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE DEALER LOT IT WAS WEAK. ON STEEP HILLS IT WAS QUESTIONABLE WHEN POINTING UP THE HILL AND WOULD NOT HOLD POINTING DOWN. HAD DEALER LOOK AT IT AND DEALER SAID IT WAS FINE. SINCE THEN (MULTIPLE TIMES) IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT IT IS COMPLETELY INEFFECTUAL. AFTER ADJUSTMENT IT WILL HOLD ON A SLIGHT HILL BUT NOT A STEEP HILL AND NEVER WHEN IN GEAR. AT 32000 MILES WOULD NOT HOLD AT ALL EVEN AFTER ADJUSTMENT. SO NEW PARKING BRAKE SHOES ETC AND IT WON'T HOLD. MECHANIC ADJUSTED THE BRAKES THE MOST POSSIBLE (SO IT WON'T DRAG AND OVERHEAT) AND DOES NOT HOLD. NOTE THAT PEDAL HAS BEEN ADJUSTED SO THAT THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT HIT THE FLOOR. ONLY GOES ABOUT 1/2 WAY DOWN WHICH IS CORRECT. I SEE THIS PROBLEM REPORTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT ONLY ONE COMPLAINT IN THE NHTSA DATA BASE? *TR
ALL FOUR BRAKES WERE RENDERED ALMOST INOPERABLE DUE TO CORROSION OF CALIPERS, DISCS AND MOUNTS. DISCOVERED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRED CONSIDERABLE EFFORT TO STOP VEHICLE. WAS TOLD BY MAINTENANCE MANAGER AT DEALERSHIP THAT BRAKES COULD HAVE FAILED AT ANY TIME. SEEMS TO BE AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM (STEEL COMPONENTS THAT RUST) EFFECTING LOW-USAGE VEHICLES. *TR

WAS ON MY WAY TO A JOB-SITE ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN 9AM-10AM APPOX. GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FAST LANE. THERE WAS A CONCRETE WALL ON MY LEFT AND A SUV ON THE RIGHT. THE SUV STARTED COMING INTO MY LANE I PUT MY BRAKES ON SUDDENLY TO HAVE THE IMPACT BE AT A SLOWER SPEED BUT AS I PUSHED DOWN ON THEM THEY FELL TO THE FLOOR SO I WAS TAKEN OUT AT 65 MILES AN HOUR. THE MAN WAS A RN NURSE WHO PULLED A GRAVEYARD SHIFT AND WAS DOSING OFF. HE ADMITTED IT WAS HIS FAULT AND THE COP SAID NO REPORT WOULD BE MADE BECAUSE THE LAW IS NO AMBULANCES NO REPORT. I DEMANDED A REPORT AND HE SAID THAT IS CALIFORNIA'S NEW LAW. TOLD TOYOTA ABOUT THE BRAKES FALLING TO THE FLOOR. THERE ANSWER IS " THAT IT WAS NORMAL". THEY INSPECTED THE ENGINE FOR DAMAGE. THEY NEVER INSPECTED THE BRAKES.. I AM NOW GOING THROUGH TOYOTA CORPORATION DEMANDING BRAKE INSPECTION! TRUCK WENT TO THE BODY SHOP TO BE REPAIRED.... *JS
WAS TURNING LEFT AT AT AN INTERSECTION HAD A GREEN ARROW WHEN SOMEONE WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT . WHEN I STARTED TO BRAKE MY BRAKE FELL TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKES AT ALL WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. AFTER THE POLICE CAME AND TALKED WITH BOTH OF US, THE OTHER PARTY ADMITTED GUILT SO SINCE THERE WERE NO AMBULANCES AND THE OTHER PARTY STATED GUILT (NO POLICE REPORT WAS MADE). I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO TOYOTA AND ASKED ABOUT THE BRAKE FALLING TO THE FLOOR THE NEXT DAY . THEIR ANSWER WAS" IT WAS NORMAL!" THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE FOR DAMAGE . THEN IT WENT TO MIKES AUTOBODY FOR BODY DAMAGE. THEY NEVER INSPECTED THE BRAKES, AS THEY FELT IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE.
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 PROPRIETARY 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. *TR
BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD DID NOT APPEAR/ OR NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL THAT BRAKES IS NOT TOTALLY WORKING AND WE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. *TR
ABS, TRAC AND 4HI WARNING LIGHTS ALL ON WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE ABS AND TRAC CONTROL ALL CEASED TO FUNCTION. WAS DRIVING IN SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE, 4HI WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THIS IS 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. MOSTLY OCCURS DURING COLD WEATHER BUT NOT ALWAYS. HAVE TAKEN TRUCK TO DEALER AFTER THESE OCCURRENCES AND 2 OF THE TIMES THE DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION. WHEN TRUCK IS IN STATE OF FLASHING LIGHTS, THE TRUCK ALWAYS RETURNS TO NORMAL WHEN YOU TURN OFF VEHICLE, WAIT AND THEN RESTART IT. DEALER HAS REPLACED PARTS NOW 4 TIMES AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM

ON SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 2010 AROUND 4:30 TO 5:00PM, MY WIFE [XXX] EXITED NW 5TH COURT FROM I95 TO NW [XXX] MIAMI, FLORIDA. AS SHE WAS APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN ON [XXX] , 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'T CRASH INTO THE TUNDRA THE WAY HE DID, MY WIFE WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA (PURCHASED NEW ON MARCH 07) I NOTICED AROUND JUNE OF 2009 THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN BRAKING AT SPEED BETWEEN 40 TO 50 MILES. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 , THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THERE ARE RUST ON THE FROND DISKS AND THE REAR DRUMS AND IT THEY NEED TO RESURFACE THE FRONT DISKS AND REAR DRUMS. TRUCK THEN HAD ONLY (15576 MILES), I PAID $418.12 FOR THE REPAIR, ADVISOR SAID IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. ON FEB. 2, 2010 I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CONSUMER EXPERIENCE CENTER IN CA, THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE, AND SHE GAVE ME A CASE NO. AND SAID I SHOULD TALK TO THE SERVICE MANAGE AT THE DEALER ( I DID NOT CONTACT HIM, BECAUSE I FELT I GET NO SATISFACTION). YESTERDAY ON MARCH 10, 2010 THERE IS A NEW REPORT ABOUT RUST ISSUES ON THE 2007 TUNDRA'S; AND ITS BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK ESPECIALLY AFTER SUCH A SHORT PERIOD AND ONLY 15576 MILES AT THE TIME I TOOK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED NOT ONLY ABOUT THE BRAKES THAT ALREADY STARTED TO RUST AFTER A SHORT PERIOD, BUT ALSO ABOUT BRAKE LINES, UNDER CARRIAGE ETC. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN HE MADE A SUDDEN STOP WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE REAR TIRE LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE SPUN AROUND. WHENEVER THE ROADS WERE WET OR COVERED WITH ICE HE LOST TRACTION, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED WHEN HE STARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO ACCELERATED WHEN HE SHIFTED INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE FAILURES. THE DEALER STATED THAT SINCE THE DIAGNOSIS DID NOT LOCATE A FAILURE CODE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DID NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY PARTS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000.
