Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2007 Toyota Tundra owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving at 45 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle failed to respond. The check engine warning light was illuminated. On a separate occasion, the contact stated that while driving uphill or driving forward, the vehicle lost motive power while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with air injection pumps and air injection switching valves failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered the contact an Extended Warranty. …
I bought a 2007 Toyota Tundra less than 3 months ago from Toyota of Simi Valley. 2 months ago my check engine light and other warning lights suddenly went on while I was driving and my truck went into "limp mode" while merging onto a freeway, causing other drivers to swerve around me to avoid a collision. I took the truck back to Toyota and they advised the Air injection pump and air control valve need to be replaced. Total cost to repair is almost $4,000. I purchased at Bronze level extended warranty which covers up to 24,000 miles but the insurance carrier denied the claim saying these items are excluded, despite these items not being listed on their "excluded items list". Toyota then offered to pay 1/2 the total cost of repairs, which in of itself is an admission of guilt. I've only made 2 payments on the vehicle, I should not be responsible for these repairs. …
After filling the gas tank and driving home, I happened to notice something hanging down under the driver's side of the truck. The rear of the two fuel tank bands was fractured near the outboard mount and appears to be due to excessive corrosion. I have no idea if it separated that day or how long I may have been driving with just the front fuel tank band (also rusted) holding the fuel tank in the vehicle. If I hadn't had a clear view of the truck from a distance (from sidewalk a few houses away), I'm afraid I might never have noticed until the front fuel tank band (now under greater loading condition) also fractured. I'm assuming in that scenario, the fuel tank would drag the ground, held only by the fuel lines, with possible deadly consequences depending on vehicle speed and other factors. I can't stop my mind thinking about what might have happened. …
Rear fuel tank strap bracket detached from frame. Bracket appears to have corroded and detached at its frame weld without warning. Tank dropped about 3 inches down at rear and was barely supported by the front tank support strap and the flexible fill hose, which appeared to prevent it from shifting. The fill hose is attached to the tank via a stainless steel clamp. The tank could have dropped from vehicle when I was on the highway, before I was even aware of the issue. I happened to see something sagging when I was walking to my vehicle. It appears that the tank bracket would be very difficult to inspect, and I believe I had the vehicle inspected for a corrosion recall about 2-3 years ago. I was lucky I observed the tank when I did, it may have broken 1 or 2 days before I even noticed it. Attached photo shows the corroded detached bracket assembly. …
Suddenly, I discovered that my fuel tank showing as if it's about to drop on the ground. As I inspected, the fuel tank rear strap broke off the frame due to corrosion. the strap itself was not the issue, part of the corroded frame was still attached to the strap. When I took the truck to my local Mechanic, further inspection showed worse signs of corrosion in the entire frame and in every part connected to the frame as well; suspension parts, brake parts, emergency brake parts, spare tire hinge; etc. Against my disagreement with Toyota dealership, I had the truck painted by Toyota as they recommended during the frame recall in February of 2018. I wanted to replace the frame, based on other professionals advice, but Toyota Dealership insisted that my truck frame is in good shape it ONLY needs the paint recommended by Toyota. …
Mechanics repairing my electrical system said that rats or mice are attrcted to the soy wiring in the engine compartment and said Toyota knows this but provides no help warning or assistance my engine could have failed and did... My truck is a 2007 Toyota Tundra crew cabin, VIN is : 5tfrt541x7x''' the issue came from nowhere almost vausing us to get hit by normal speed traffic and unable to deal with it at all simply driving down the road when the engine first stopped accelerating, then causing us to move only at low speed putting us in serious jeopardy
My 2007 Toyota Tundra fuel tank strap rusted through and the fuel tank came loose and partially fell out but was held in by the fill hose and EVAP hoses. The skid plate that is mounted to the strap broke completely off and was found on the highway. I find this incredibly dangerous if it had been the front strap it could have been catastrophic. I know rust can be an issue but certainly not something I have been worried about on a 9 year old truck. I am not exactly sure when the strap broke as I saw it hanging after work on my way to the truck.
My traction control light has came on and stays on, my vsc light continuously flashes. The code that it keeps sending is p2440 and p2441 (secondary injection). I had went overseas with the military for two years and came back last year to change the battery and this started. The truck only has 75,000 miles. This is all the time, doesn't matter stopped, going, high speed, low speed.
My gas tank strap rotted off my frame causing my full gas tank to almost fall out. My frame rotted very bad also. I know there were recalls concerning this issue but I'm not sure if they were done to mine. I've only had the truck for three months what do I do?
The Toyota Tundra 2007-2010 carry a major saftey issues all over the net, under error code p2415 or p2440 or p2441 or p2442 series of errors, which prevent the truck from accelerating or stopping properly for that matter. I was towing when the check engine light came out while driving ( I mean driving) on the hwy, towing somewhat a heavy load & all of sudden while going uphill the engine just lost power instead of me going forward I got stuck, and if it was not for the other drivers being aware I would have been severly injured or killed along with my four kids,to make a miserable long story short,I find out this proplem is amajor issue and a defect in Toyota tundras, and it cost consumer like me $3500 up to $5000 to fix it involve an air supply unit to the engine to shut down.......I need to get this issue to be looked at I have four kids were riding with me that day.... …
