Toyota Tundra frame corroded. There is a baseball sized hole in my frame and Toyota was notified of it and denied that is was their responsibility to repair issues related to improper anti corrosion treatment during manufacturing. They stated they had a campaign to resolve this issue but I was not notified by phone, fax, mail, email, or any other means.
The frame and truck bed have severe rust issues. The truck bed is shacking now when driving. The frame was "sprayed" when I bought the car to the dealer. I brought the car to Toyota dealership on winchester road they have noticed a lot of rust on the frame and on the truck bed and advice me to rid of the car because they cannot do nothing about it even trade for another car. I had the truck inspected by my mechanic before I bought and the car seems to be ok. Late on another mechanic pointed out severe. Toyota dealerships inspect the truck and said that it was unsafe to drive. I have to figure out how mysefl how to get a new frame and a new truck bed because I do not know what to do or who to contact. My mechanic advice me to contact NHTSA.

I recently purchases a used 2007 Toyota Tundra double cab from a private party. I test drove the vehicle on ac pavement with no major issues, but upon purchasing and driving on my typical freeway commute traveling at normal speeds (55-70mph) it shakes violently. The shaking resonated at one point so violently that I lost control of the vehicle and had to drastically slow down to regain control. I am fearful of my safety and that of any passengers, especially my children. I have subsequently found forum information online that speaks to this "bed bounce" problem, and a relevant TSB from Toyota. However, I cannot find an official TSB from Toyota online or a genuine fix to the problem. Please help because I feel like I just bought a vehicle that is not safe to drive, and needless to say very angry that Toyota has not addressed this problem in full.

2007 Toyota Tundra dual cab limited with 6' bed. Ride is fine except when driving at highway speeds on concrete highways with regularly-spaced expansion joints. Continuous problem. Truck resonates at this speed and results in choppy ride. Significant vibration throughout frame, not translated through steering wheel, and occurs regardless of load, although it is more pronounced when empty.
I just purchased an 07 Toyota Tundra limited 2wd pickup truck. While driving on any cement freeway (especially those in southern California (101 ventura)), I experienced a "bed bounce" that was so severe, I almost lost control of the vehicle. This loss of control occurred at speeds ranging from 60mph to 75mph. I contacted Toyota regarding this problem and they confirmed it is a problem with the Tundra trucks but are not working on any fixes. This answer is unacceptable. I am unable to drive this vehicle on "cement" freeways because of the lack of control. Toyota is unwilling to do anything about it. . . . I have no other option but to file this complaint with you.
Truck has extreme vibration, bounce and overall shake at freeway speeds as felt throughout the vehicle. This combined with the very light steering and accelerator effort leads to a very unstable feeling of not being in control of the vehicle. It is difficult to maintain even and steady accelerator pressure and steering direction. Dealership has rotated and balanced tires and performed alignment, but has made zero difference. Dealership has made 3 attempts so far to fix. I have been told Toyota is working on the issue.
On several occasions while driving at highway speeds on concrete surface, I have experienced severe vehicle shaking on my new 2007 Toyota Tundra. Upon investigating this I have noted many other owners experiencing this same problem and calling it Tundra bed bounce. I have taken the vehicle to two different dealers. Neither dealer would acknowledge a problem or offer any solutions. One of the dealers suggested I add about 200 pounds of weight to the bed of the truck to try to improve the ride. I contacted Toyota customer experience center to complain of this problem and was given a case file number. Their representative informed me that Toyota has received many complaints but at this point in time they are doing nothing to correct this defect or problem. This is completely unacceptable and a potential safety hazard to anyone on the road.
The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle vibrated excessively to the point where the accelerator pedal bounced up and down on the contact's foot. The failure was most noticeable while driving on freeways. The manufacturer stated that they were aware of the failure, but could not provide a solution. Through research and professional consultations, the failure was determined to be the harmonic vibration caused by the expansion joints. The contact filed a formal complaint with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 200 and current mileage was 209.
2007 Toyota Tundra double cab 4x2 5. 7ltr v-8. Vehicle has an extreme and dangerous "bed bounce" or vibration at all regular highway speeds on concrete type freeways with expansion joints. The vehicle becomes very unstable and feels as if control will be lost. It is completely unbearable. Dealer reports similar complaints from other 2007 Toyota Tundra owners. All 2007 Tundra models exhibit this failure and it stems from a design flaw in the chassis/suspension. Event began from the day the vehicle was driven off the dealership lot (11/25/07) and continues to date. Toyota needs to address this serious matter and correct the issue.
Vehicle shakes violently when driven on concrete highway.
Noticed an excessive vibration at highway speeds in the steering wheel and seat. When drivers sunvisor was swung over to side window it shook like crazy, as a visual indication! dealership service department told me that Toyota is aware of this but there is no fix for it. After making a complaint with management at the dealership they attempted to balance the tires and perform an alignment. This did not help. I was also told to put weight in the bed. This did not help. Shop foreman called this the "tundra bounce" after he drove it and confirmed my complaint. After three attempts with the dealership to fix the problem I have contacted Toyota to start the arbitration process.
The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that his vehicle vibrates while driving between 60-70 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnosis on October 12, 2007, in which two wheels were rotated and balanced. The dealer's invoice did not specify whether the front or rear wheels were balanced. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer several times, because the vibration persists. In addition, both exterior mirrors have a sharp plastic edge and the contact's forehead was cut while vacuuming the vehicle. The dealer was unable to correct the vibration and felt that the contact being injured by the mirror edge was humorous. The manufacturer took a report, but did not offer any assistance. The current mileage was 17,800 and failure mileage was 2,400. Updated 6/2/08.
This truck jumps excessively and wobbles in a aggressive matter it creates an opportunity to loose control not to mention loose your appetite when I got this truck I was under the impression it was going to have on overall better ride, control and handling but yet it does not compare to last years model. I was told that Toyota knows about this problem and is trying to look into how they are going to fix it all I can say is spread the word tell owners speak up and force them to fix this issue or pay the bad rap.
The recall on my 2007 Toyota Tundra for rusted frame was inspected by the dealer who said they would spray it with rust prohibitive. I was a mechanic for many years and if the frame is not stripped down and sandblasted to metal there is no guaranteed method to stop the rusting. Toyota should be made to replace all the frames otherwise in a few years there will be more broken frames on the roads. I don't know if your office was involved in the class action suite but I am reasonable sure lawyers and judges no nothing of mechanics or engineering. I plan of keeping my truck for many more years and if the frame fails then I will getting legal counsel for a recourse to some entity be it government or commercial. If you all take your jobs seriously than this needs to be resolved soonest before Toyotas are falling apart on the highways and killing people. They made the error and they should pay for it not us!!!!.
I purchased a newly redesigned 2007 Toyota Tundra in September 2007. The truck experiences severe "bed bounce" every time I drive on new sections of concrete highway/interstate. It is so severe that I have left the Tundra in the garage and been driving one of my other cars. Toyota is aware of the problem and many (# unknown) have filed complaints with their customer service group. There are several Tundra owner forums on the internet with details from owners. Google :"tundra bed bounce" and you will see.
"bed bounce". The complaint is that at speed of 50-65 & 70 mph, the 2007 Tundra pick-up vibrates and bounces to the point of uncomfortable and what I feel is unsafe. Safety issue with infant, since can and will shake infant. Needs to be address by someone ASAP. Toyota claims to be working on it, but what is going to take for a fix, lemon law or class-action suit or even someone getting hurt.

I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra double cab short bed truck. The truck has a reoccuring resonating bounce when driving on concrete roads between 70 and 80 mph. The bounce is extremely uncomfortable and can become severe. Only a dramatic change in speed will stop the bouncing. Several on line forums are calling this problem "bed bounce".
Bed bounce!!!.
1. Excessive cab shake, wobble and jerkiness whenever driving over concrete paved roads at variety of speeds. 2. Called dealer who suggested: tire pressure adjustment and adding 150 lbs of weight to truck bed. After implementing above, truck ride improved slightly but still unacceptable.
The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra 4x4. While driving 55 mph, the contact noticed a very noticeable bouncing sensation coming from the rear of the vehicle. The failure occurs when the speed exceeds 55 mph and began weeks after the vehicle was purchased brand new. The vehicle becomes disconnected with the road. The dealer stated that they were not aware of the situation and could not locate any failures; however, they suggested that the tires could have been the cause of the failure. The contact believed that the suspension caused the vehicle to bounce up and down violently. Through research, he discovered several complaints regarding this issue. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 19,600.
I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra crewmax. When driving on concrete freeways the bed of the truck bounces very very bad worse than any other truck I have ever ridden in. I sometimes feel unsafe like maybe its bouncing so much that it could be dangerous if I need to stop suddenly. I don't think the tires come off the ground but the vibration is so bad that talking becomes difficult.
Toyota corporation refers to this issue as "bed bounce". The complaint is that at speed of 50-65 & 70 mph, the 2007 Tundra pick-up vibrates and bounces to the point of uncomfortable and what I feel is unsafe. It is as if all4-wheels are out of balance. Now Toyota corporation is admitting to me that thay are aware of this issue and are trying to come up with a fix, however its been 6 months and stiill no fix from Toyota corporation. I have had the vehicle to them ( the dealer repair shops) two times to two different dealers and have an appoinment with Toyota corporate engineers on November 1st 2007. I am also seeking legal counsel, however I do not know if this a individual lemon law issue or a class action problem, and I really do not care I just want Toyota to give me my money back due to the fact it is a design issue and it will take a re-engineering of suspension to repair, and that is big deal that takes a long time to fix. Can you help me ? fred curcio.
