HE CLEARED THE CODES IN THE COMPUTER AND I DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING IT DID THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK AND HE GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN. THE WEATHER HAS SINCE WARMED UP AND IT HASN'T DONE IT SINCE. THAT WAS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES. SO I TOOK IT TO FOSS TOYOTA IN CASPER, WY. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIX IT UNLESS IT MALFUNCTIONED RIGHT THERE ON THEIR LOT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS BY E-MAIL, I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WAS PHONED BY SOMEONE AT TOYOTA. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I SAY...

WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR I NOTICED SMOKE AT THE ENTRYWAY BUT COULDN?T IDENTIFY WHAT OR WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I APPEARED TO GO AWAY SO I THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING SOMETHING. I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THE SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL WIRES ABOUT THE TIME MY HEAD TURNED I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW MASTER CONTROL AND GETTING BIG FAST, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT REALLY CAME OUT FAST. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS FLAMES OR NOT. IT WAS NOT IN FLAMES BUT...

HELLO, TWO DAY AGO I WAS PULLING PUT OF MY CONDO COMPLEX WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS SMOKE AND VERY SMALL FLAMES STARTED TO POUR OUT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR PANEL WHERE THE SWITCHES ARE LOCATED. THERE WAS NO MAJOR FIRE DAMAGE BUT THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE AND THE SWITCH THAT OPERATES THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW MELTED DOWN. I FORTUNATELY HAD SOME TOOLS NEARBY SO I QUICKLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES AS IT WAS STILL ARCING AND SPARKING. THE ONLY SWITCH THAT WORKS PROPERLY IS THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOLD MY CO WORKER ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. TODAY HE SHOWED ME THE AUTOBLOG.COM ARTICLE REGARDING THE STORY ABOUT TOYOTAS WINDOW SWITCHES CATCHING FIRE. HOW DO I GO ABOUT REPORTING THIS TO YOU GUYS OR SOMEONE ELSE. MY TRUCK IS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB 4.7 V8...

INTO IT MY TRUCK STARTED DYING AND WOULD NOT START FOR SEVERAL MIN.WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND WAS STRANDED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD MORE THAN ONCE. THIS WENT ON FOR 1 WEEK 2 DIFFERENT TIMES THAN IT STARTED RUNNING AGAIN WITH JUST THE P2440 CODE COMING UP ALL THE TIME AND SHUTTING ME DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING MY BROTHER IN LAW...

PURCHASED 07 TUNDRA IN AUG 2010 AND BY DEC 2010 WE HAD ISSUES WITH 4WD GAUGES BLINKING/DINGING AND LOSS OF POWER/ACCELERATION. FOLLOWED THE MANUAL AND NO FIX. PROBLEM EVENTUALLY QUIT AFTER ABOUT 3 DAYS. PROBLEM RESUMED ON 2/14/11 AND TOOK TO AUTO SHOP TO HAVE DIAGNOSED. CODE P2440 WAS GIVEN AND WE REALLY DO NOT WANT TO RETURN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER DUE TO LACK OF QUALITY SALES AND SERVICE. ALSO DO NOT HAVE THE ESTIMATED $1300+ TO FIX PROBLEM. HELP TOYOTA, WHY DO WE READ THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TUNDRAS HAVING 50K+ MILES? *TR

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. THE VEHICLE HAD ELECTRICAL SHORTS IN THE WIRING SUCH AS; THE HEADLIGHTS, CLOCK, CIGARETTE LIGHTER, ALARM AND DOOR LOCKS. THE SEAT BELTS WOULD NOT ALWAYS LATCH. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE, THERE WAS A SEVERE SHAKE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE, THE STEERING WOULD ACT ERRATIC AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHILE BACKING OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY.. *JB

WATER IN THE AIR INDUCTION PUMPS CAUSING ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AND HAVE NO POWER AT SPEED. ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND TRUCK IS DISABLED OR HOBBLED WITH LOW SPEED ONLY. THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED AS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TUNDRA 2007-2008 OWNERS. *TR

TOYOTA TUNDRA 2007 W/ 4WD. VEHICLE WENT FROM NORMAL 2 WHEEL DRIVE INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW WITHOUT WARNING, WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY CONTROLS. COULD NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 30 MPH, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED INTO DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPONENT IN THE ENGINE THAT FAILED. THE WARRANTY INSPECTOR CAME BY TODAY AND THE HISTORY DATA ON THE MEMORY HAD BEEN ERASED AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE. VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SHOP. DEALER STATES IT IS DEFECTIVE BUT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED AIR PUMP IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE ECU.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 4.7L THAT DOESN'T LIKE TO START ALL THE TIME. WHILE THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE I BELIEVE YOU ARE LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. AS A FORMER MECHANIC/CURRENT ELECTRICIAN/AS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING I BELIEVE MY PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY ELECTRICAL IN NATURE. I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED BUT I FIGURED I WOULD SEND A MESSAGE AND GIVE YOU A HEADS UP. ALSO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN IN TOWN HERE HAS THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE BOTH BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY STILL WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. TODAY I AM SENDING MY PAPERWORK TO A LAW FIRM WHO SPECIALIZES IN THE PA LEMON LAW. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE. THEY JUST DID THE...

PER TOYOTA DISCONNECT BATTERY AND IT WILL RE SET. THE TRUCK WILL KICK YOU DOWN TO 40 MPH OR SLOWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF YOU ARE RUNNING 60 AT THE TIME. WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS MY SECONDARY AIR INTAKE. AND A TIRE SENSOR PROBLEM. BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN SURGES IN MOTOR OR DIEING FOR NO REASON. TALKED WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT. TO DATE NOT DONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS. HAVE TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY JUST TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MORE THAN 3 TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. WENT TO PULL OUT TO CROSS...
