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 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?S DRIVE SHAFT/YOLK. THEY DID RECALL THE DRIVESHAFTS FOR THE 4X4 TUNDRAS IN 2007, BUT NOT THE 4 X 2?S. CAN?T THEY SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE ALSO? THE TRUCK ALWAYS FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BUMPING YOU WHEN YOU STOPPED. WE WERE JUST TOLD IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE TUNDRA. SO WATCH OUT FOLKS WITH LOWER MILEAGE. I BOUGHT A TOYOTA WHEN I WAS GOING TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH A LONGER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY BUT THE TOYOTA SALESMAN TALKED US OUT OF IT WITH HIS 100,000 MILE (LIE) POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND HIS 300,000 MILE COMMENTS. WELL, WHAT DO I DO NOW? THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT OR EVEN OFFER A DISCOUNT, JUST A SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK! *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

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

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX I FEEL A CLUNK IN THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR END A FEW SECONDS AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT FEELS AS IF SOME OTHER CAR HAS BUMPED ME IN THE REAR AND THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE THUMP IS MUCH WORSE THAN OTHER TIMES. THIS STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A SUDDEN STOP I MADE WHEN AN ANIMAL CROSSED THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVEN'T HAD MY DEALER CHECK THIS YET BUT I NOW REALIZE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO I WILL GET IT TO THE DEALER SOON. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES AND CLOSE TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA LUNGES FORWARD VERY OFTEN. IT DOES IT WHEN I'M COMING TO A STOP. IT WILL DO IT AS I'M DECELERATING OR EVEN AFTER I'VE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HIT MY WIFE'S CAR IN THE REAR BUMPER THIS WEEK WHILE I WAS FOLLOWING HER. THAT IS WHAT HAS FINALLY PUSHED ME OVER THE EDGE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. SINCE I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY IS RUNNING INTO THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2005 TUNDRAS AND UP. THIS NEEDS TO GET FIXED BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *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

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX 5.7 HAS SERIOUS VIBRATION FROM 30-40 MPH. WHEN YOU LET UP ON ACCELERATOR THE PROBLEM CEASES. IF THE TRANSMISSION CHANGES GEARS THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. DEALERSHIP HAS DRIVEN THE TRUCK AND CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT FIX PROBLEM UNTIL "FIX" IS KNOWN. *TR
