B.F. GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL T/A TIRES STARTED CRACKING IN THE TREAD CROWN AT 13,000 MILES ON ALL FOUR TIRES WITH 9/32" OF TREAD LEFT. THE CRACKS RUN LONGITUDINALLY ALONG THE TREAD ON BOTH THE OUTER AND INNER SIDE OF THE TREAD. I HAVE INSPECTED OTHER TOYOTA TUNDRAS WITH THE SAME TIRES THAT ARE ALSO CRACKING. NOW AT 16,000 MILES THE TIRES ARE MAKING A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE AND THE CRACKS ARE GROWING LARGER AND LONGER. BOTH MICHELIN AND TOYOTA WERE NOTIFIED AND BOTH REFUSED TO TAKE APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION. *TR

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. 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.

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER STATES CRUISE CONTROL DOES ENGAGE AND THEN WILL NOT DISENGAGE BRAKES. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES WOULD NOT HOLD AT STOP SIGNS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE FORWARD.

I HAVE A 2007 TUNDRA THAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED BY THE DEALER I.E. 3 INCH LIFT THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE ME THE DETAILS OF THE LIFT ON THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REPEATEDLY COMPLAINED. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, SO I MADE A COMPLAINT TO TOYOTA. THE MANAGER OF THE AUTO REPAIR PORTION OF THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO ME THAT WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I THEN DID RESEARCH ON MY OWN AFTER DISCUSSING THE ISSUE WITH THEIR REPAIR SHOP AT STEVENS CREEK TOYOTA. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALARM LIGHT IS COMING ON THE DASH AND STAYS ON. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. I AM UPSET THAT THE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS WAS NORMAL. IT IS NOT, IT ALSO AFFECTS HOW THE TRUCK DRIVES ONCE THE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH. IT AFFECTS THE PEDAL WHICH CAN STICK AND YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE LARGE TIRES ON MY CAR TO GO WITH THE LIFT. I HAVE CHECKED AND THEY APPEAR TO HAVE TPMS VALVES BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO PROVIDE ME PROOF. I AM ENTITLED BY LAW TO KNOW WHAT WAS DONE TO MY TRUCK THAT AFFECTS HOW MY CAR HANDLES ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR WAS MODIFIED BY THE DEALER NOT ME. UPDATED 05/12/10.*JB
