I had all the dash lights flashing and the transfer case stuck in 4wheel drive low, an engine misfire and vibration. I took it to my mechanic and he said it was an air pump valve problem. 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 bullcookies. Those engine fail codes are still in the computer. And I believe they're stalling until my 10 years are up this coming September. This air pump repair is a $5,000. 00 to $6,000. 00 bill. I think Toyota should repair my truck, I bought it from them in good faith, I had to have a $1,000. 00 + engine belt and a water pump put on it already, and now this? what are my options when dealing with a less than honest company? when the dash lights flashing and the transfer case stuck in 4wd. It was parked in my garage and I just started it up on a cold morning. Thank you.

6/20/12 I noticed master power window button on driver?s side door for the rear passenger window was stuck and would not operate. 6/21/12 I started the truck in my driveway and turned on the ac, left the vehicle to grab my briefcase and get in no more than 15 seconds. 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 the smoke was still coming out. I grabbed the fuse box panel and tried to identify the fuse for the power windows. It took a call to the dealership to identify the fuse under the dashboard I didn?t know was there I thought thee was only 1 fuse panel box. The dealership was extremely responsive and a lot of help. Service advisor we identified the correct fuse, removed it and the smoke stopped. I have no other problems that I know of. This is a 2007 vehicle with a fire defect. I went on the internet and see that there are identified problems for this exact same problem but the Tundra was not identified as a model affected but it sure should be. There is not a recall as of this time and I have not had it repaired yet. *information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) tt.

Turned the truck on and the check engine and traction control lights were both on, 4 lo and vsc off lights were both flashing, the truck sounded noticeably louder and now has a loss of power. Codes show p2440.

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 proble with Tundras having 50k+ miles?.

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.

All four of my door locks stopped working within a month. All four were replaced under warranty. Now, all four locks have stopped working again within a month. Toyota said that they see nothing out of the ordinary with this. They expect me to pay $2,000. To replace 4 locks again. Toyota said that there is no recall for this item.

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 recall on my truck last week and I'm going on a long trip tomorrow so wish me luck! lol thanks!.
