2007 Toyota Tundra
Recalls and owner complaints reported to NHTSA
Compared with the typical (middle) count of 441 complaints across the 4 model-year 2007 half-ton trucks we cover. Best-selling trucks naturally collect more complaints because more of them are on the road.
Price & value
We don't guess at prices. Get a real value for the exact truck from Kelley Blue Book, then see how the asking price compares.
Is it a good deal?
- Look up the truck on Kelley Blue Book. Choose its cab, trim, options, miles, condition and your ZIP code, and note the private party value (or the fair purchase price if you're buying from a dealer).
- Enter that value and the asking price below.
Enter both numbers to see the deal rating.
The rating only compares the two numbers you enter: within 5% of the value is a good deal, 5–15% under is a great deal, and more than 15% under is a buy-it-now price. Know Your Truck isn't affiliated with Kelley Blue Book. Rust, accident history, lifts and mods, and service records all change what a truck is worth, so always get a pre-purchase inspection.
Owner's manual
Get the free official owner's manual from Toyota's owner's manuals page. Choose 2007 Tundra. It covers maintenance schedules, fluids, towing limits and warning lights. Older years may not be listed online.
Recalls
A recall doesn't mean a truck still has the problem. Enter the truck's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer to see whether the repair was done.

While driving at speeds between 30 - 50 miles an hour. There is a very rough shudder coming from the transmission. It will get better by speeding up or by stopping the vehicle and turning the car off. When the shudder starts and you try to come to a stop the rear end of the vehicle shakes excessively. You think the back of the truck is going to skip off the road. Toyota did a manufacture service bulletin for this issue. However they only covered certain years and my VIN was not included in the fix. My vehicle now has 211000 miles and it is happening to my vehicle.

Undercoating of vehicle was not properly installed causing the frame to rust out creating a serious safety concern as the fuel tank can fall from the vehicle due to extensive rust. Toyota is aware of this situation however refuses to repair the problem.
- Filed Apr 2024
The frame of the vehicle has a recall on it because of excessive rusting. The previous owner had not gotten the recall fixed. The rusted frame causes issues with steering, maintenance, and general control and safety of the vehicle. Toyota dealerships claim this recall has expired. A rusted frame violated NY State inspection. Since this indefinitely violates the NHTSA guidelines and regulations, how can it expire? Toyota refuses to fix the recall on the frame due to “expiration” and would rather endanger roadways see as many of these vehicles still are driven on public roadways and come with a hefty cost due to the expiration. Many vehicles like this with under 100k miles have the same critical issue, leaving Americas at a loss. This recall should not “expire”
- Filed Dec 2023
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Gas tank cover plate is rusting out causing the tank to almost fall out. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and others safety was put at risk as if the tank were to fall out, it could catch the vehicle on fire. Also as the plate rusts even more day by day, the heat from the exhaust and other parts that heat up it can damage the gas tank and once again is a fire hazard. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, there are no open recalls from what I can’t tell by the vin but same year has same problems and are under recall. Not sure why this one isn’t under recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, there would be no lights for an issue like this.

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!

As a result of a class action lawsuit Toyota settled on frame replacement or spraying a rust inhibitor depending on the severity of frame rust. The sprayed on rust inhibitor, used in my case, was sprayed over mud and pack rust at the dealership - Williams Toyota, Big Flats NY. I took the truck to a local shop to have the brakes replaced and nys inspection completed. The repair shop called and said that the truck was not road worthy due to frame rust.

Subject: Dealer Warranty Enhancement Program ZH7 Certain 2007 – 2008 Model Year Tundra Extension of Warranty Coverage for Frame Corrosion - Ended on 1/21/2019 (attached). Details: See Attached Pictures - Frame has rusted out with considerable "perforation" 10mm or larger. The condition clearly started many years ago. The vehicle was rust protected at an independent non-dealer shop. No known frame issues were witnessed prior to the 2019 deadline. Vehicle was not taken to the Toyota Dealer based on aftermarket rust protection application and no witnessed issues. The enhancement was not stated as a mandatory recall (which it should have been). The vehicle has 80k and has been lightly used in Virginia (cold climate state). The entire structural integrity of the truck is put at risk with this condition. An independent shop investigated the condition and provided the pictures. Repairs are underway but Toyota America should be responsible for extending this enhancement to a mandatory recall of all impacted vehicles. This is clearly a public safety hazard, breakdown in quality and totally unacceptable.

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. I come to find out that they have not remove nor clean any rust and they painted on top of it. Additionally, They never painted the cross members above the tank Now, when I looked under the truck, the paint has coming off in greater areas of the frame showing heavy rust under it. Which means the paint job was a joke, and worthless. Now, after seeing this, I am wondering how can I possibly drive this truck. The tank can drop any time or the spare tire latch can break off, causing a disaster on a highways where I drive. My emergency brake not even adjustable any more due to the heavy rust caused by the frame. Toyota failed to engineer the frame, and later on, failed again to correct their own mistake. contacted the dealer and waited for a month, no response. I called Toyota headquarter and filed a complaint. They respond is that because the recall program has expired there is no further assistance from Toyota. My question to Toyota is, are they going to wait to hear a disaster on one of the highways caused by their faulty equipment and workmanship, or will they take action before it happen.

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. I took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who advised Toyota’s assessment is correct, however, it should only cost $2k to fix the vehicle, not $4k. The mechanic also advised of an emission system issue and that this vehicle will not pass smog at this time.

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. At higher speed, would the rear axle have catapulted over the fuel tank causing loss of control, even before any fuel leakage?

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. I was able to temporarily resupport the tank under the existing strap.

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 [name removed] 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

MY WIFE CAME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE BRINGING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL A FEW WEEKS AGO. SHE WAS LEAVING A STOP SIGN GETTING ONTO A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN OUR 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA UNEXPECTEDLY HAD DRASTICALLY REDUCED POWER. AFTER A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THE REDUCTION IN POWER WAS CAUSED BY A FAILURE IN THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY DURING COLD STARTS. WHEN THERE IS A FAILURE IN THIS SYSTEM THE ECM (ONBOARD COMPUTER) GOES INTO A MODE IN WHICH THE AVAILABLE POWER FROM THE ENGINE IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. TOYOTA HAS RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE TWO AIR INJECTION PUMPS AND A SWITCHING VALVE SET AT AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $3500. I AM RESEARCHING OTHER OPTIONS BECAUSE THEY TELL ME THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN CONTINUE TO REOCCUR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS STATING THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN DISABLED. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF THIRD GEAR AND THE VSC BEING OFF IS CAUSING AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION DUE TO SLIPPING TIRES AROUND CORNERS AT NORMAL SPEEDS. UPON CHECKING THE ENGINE CODE P2714 AND P0751 I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THERE IS AN INTERNAL TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN CIRCULATING THEIR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS DATING BACK TO NOVEMBER 28, 2007 WHEN THIS ISSUE WAS FIRST DISCOVERED. THE BULLETIN IS NAMED TC017-07. ALSO UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS POSTS ABOUT THIS CODE AND THE EXACT ISSUES MY VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM ON MULTIPLE TOYOTA TUNDRA MESSAGE AND INTERNET CHAT GROUPS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH COULD EASILY CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE OR PROPERTY IF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE ARE SUDDENLY PRONE TO THE VSC AND TRANSMISSION ACTING ABNORMALLY. THIS ISSUE FOR ME CAME UP VERY SUDDENLY WITH NO PRIOR WARNING AS THE DASH LIGHTS CAME IN WHILE DRIVING.

I THEN PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO GO TO A FRIENDS HOUSE WHO HAS A LITTLE COMPUTER THAT TELLS YOU WHAT ERRORS ARE GOING OFF WHEN YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON LIKE AN AUTOBODY. AS I PULLED ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK WOULD BARELY GO. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT USUALLY DOES BUT THE TRUCK WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE. WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE HE PLUGGED THE COMPUTER IN AND IT GAVE ME AN ERROR CODE OF P2440. ONCE I LOOKED MORE INTO IT I FOUND THAT IT WAS THE AIR INDUCTION PUMP THAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH TUNDRA'S WITH MILEAGE BETWEEN 40K AND 60K. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHY THE VEHICLE IS NOT ACCELERATING LIKE IT SUPPOSED TO. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME CONCERN. THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD TO ME.

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

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX SR5 WITH THE 5.7L V8. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN Y APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH FORCE TO HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE ON ITS OWN WHEN ON A HILL. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE WITH THE TRUCK IN DRIVE , BUT NOT APPLYING ANY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD WITH VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS HOW THE ENGINEERS DESIGNED IT. THEY DID AGREE TO TIGHTEN IT DOWN FURTHER AT MY REQUEST, AND WHEN THEY TRIED TO SHOW ME THAT IT WAS FIXED, IT AGAIN BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO APPLY THE NORMAL BRAKE. I WAS THEN AGAIN TOLD THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR ASSISTANCE, AND THAT I SHOULD NOT EXPECT THE PARKING BRAKE TO HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE ON ITS OWN. I ASKED HOW IT COULD ASSIST WHEN IT COULDN'T EVEN HANDLE IT ON ITS OWN, AND WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE TRUCK HAS 381 HP AND THAT'S A LOT OF HP FOR THE TRUCK TO STOP, AND WHEN I SAID THAT IT DIDN'T HAVE 381 HP AT 600 RPMS I WAS LAUGHED AT AND TOLD AGAIN THAT IT WA SONLY FOR ASSISTANCE. *AK

I HEAR A STRANGE, ALMOST SLIPPING SOUND SOMETIMES WHEN I TAKE OFF, OR TURN A CORNER, ALMOST LIKE I'M NOT GETTING TRACTION. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND NEVER WHEN I TAKE IT IN..IS THIS NORMAL OR SOMETIME I SHOULD WORRY ABOUT? *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA - 4X4. SEVERAL TIMES I NOTICED THAT IT HAD MOVED FROM WHERE I PARKED IT. IT HAD MOVED FROM THE SPOT THAT I HAD PLACED IT AND ROLLED BACKWARDS, DOWN A FAIRLY STEEP GRADE, A DISTANCE OF AROUND 20 FEET. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO REPLICATE THE INCIDENT AND DISCOVERED THE FOLLOWING: WHEN PARKED ON A HILL WITHOUT THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT "LOCK" IN PARK WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED ONLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO PARK IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING THE ANTI SKID (TRACTION CONTROL) RESPOND TO A SLIPPERY CONDITION. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE PROBLEM ALSO DOES NOT OCCUR IF THE AUTOMATED ANTI SKID RESPONSE DOES NOT ACTIVATE ITSELF. THE ROLLING DOES NOT ALWAYS BEGIN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE NOT YET TRIED TO GET THE SAME RESPONSES WHILE BACKING THE TRUCK UP THE HILL IN REVERSE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IN WARREN, OHIO ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2009. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ANYONE WHO MAY FIND THEMSELVES BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT BEGINS TO ROLL. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA, I WAS TAKING MY TUNDRA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I STARTED LOSING POWER ON MY TRUCK I HAD THEM CHECK IT. TOYOTA CAME BACK AND SAID THAT FUEL VAPOR SWITCHING VALVE WAS STUCK CLOSED, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION THEY FOUND THAT A SECONDARY INJECTION PUMP WAS STUCK OPEN, THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE IT BACK TO TOYOTA FOR CLARIFICATION. TOYOTA'S SECOND DIAGNOSIS WAS THEY FOUND BOTH AIR INJECTION PUMPS WERE CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $2100.00. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THE DEALER CALLED TOYOTA AND SAID THEY WOULD PAY $600.00 BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REST. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT TOYOTA HAS ALL BUT ADMITTED TO BUT WON'T REALLY DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. THEY SHOULD BE HELP RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WHOLE AMOUNT. I WAS TOLD THEY WON'T BECAUSE MY TRUCK HAS 110,00 MILES ON IT. MILEAGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE ITS A DESIGN ISSUE. *LN

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 CREWMAX WITH BLACK CLOTH INTERIOR, AND ITS VERY HARD TO KEEP LINT AND HAIR OUT OF THE CLOTH. I'M AN AUTO DETAILER AND I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY VACUUM IT TO TRY AND KEEP IT CLEAN. I WANTED LEATHER BUT TO GET THAT OPTION IS ROUGHLY ANOTHER $6,000 MORE WHICH IS ALOT WHEN THE WINDOW STICKER OF MY TRUCK WAS ALREADY OVER $37,000. SO IM NOT TO SURE OF HOW THIS WORKS BUT THIS IS A VERY WELL MAINTAINED TRUCK VERY LOW MILES AND YOU CANT DO ANYTHING TO KEEP LINT OR HAIR OUT. A FRIEND OF MINE WHO ALSO WORKS WITH ME OWNS AN 2008 GMC SIERRA WITH BLACK CLOTH AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT IN HIS CASE THEY CHANGED THE FABRIC FOR 2009 AND HE MADE A COMPLAINT WITH THE LINT PROBLEM AND HE'S GETTING THE CHANGED FABRIC. SO IM HOPING MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 2007-UP TUNDRA TRUCKS. *TR
