5 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of the 2007 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 11/14/2009

2007 Toyota Tundra v-8, 5. 7 l. 4 lo light blinks, vsc light blink, check engine light on continuously all three of these lights are coming on. I can take my battery off and they reset. 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 3 lanes of traffic and it kicked down, had the gas pedal floored and the truck would barely move. My truck now has 40,000 miles and it still is not fixed. My a/c went out, said it was the fuse, what about the blower motor that has never worked right, or the truck wants to die all the time, electronic start wont work was told my battery was no good yet they won't honor the battery because it is now out of their warranty due to them taking so long to get it in and having me to disconnect the battery all the time. Toyota called to day and said my truck would be done in a couple hours, then less than a hour later they said it wouldn't be done because they had ordered the wrong parts and that I would need to bring them a battery.

6 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of the 2007 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 03/14/2009

I have a 2007 Tundra that has been modified by the dealer I. E. 3 inch lift they refuse to provide me the details of the lift on the truck even though I have repeatedly complained. I first thought that it was part of the recall, so I made a complaint to Toyota. The manager of the auto repair portion of the dealership contacted and tried to explain to me that what was happening to the truck was not part of the recall. I then did research on my own after discussing the issue with their repair shop at stevens creek Toyota. What is happening is the tire pressure monitoring system alarm light is coming on the dash and stays on. This happened three times since I bought the truck. I am upset that the manager told me this was normal. It is not, it also affects how the truck drives once the light comes on the dash. It affects the pedal which can stick and you loose control of the truck. I have large tires on my car to go with the lift. I have checked and they appear to have tpms valves but the dealership refuses to provide me proof. I am entitled by law to know what was done to my truck that affects how my car handles especially since the car was modified by the dealer not me. Updated 05/12/10.

7 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of the 2008 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 11/25/2008

While driving a 2008 Toyota Tundra equipped with bridgestone dueler h/t bl p255 25570r18 tires I experienced a complete failure of the driver's side front tire. The vehicle was being rented from enterprise rent a car at the time. I was driving 50 mph on straight level pavement. The temperature was in the mid-30s. The pavement was bare and dry. I did not strike any object in the road. I experienced great difficulty steering the vehicle, so I immediately slowed, braked as little as possible, and was able to bring the vehicle safely to a stop on the side of the road. Upon examining the tire, I observed the outside side wall of the tire was split open from near the bead to almost the tread line, a gash of several inches in length. As the vehicle was a rental, I was directed to take it to the firestone store at 202 south 1st street, yakima, wa 98901-2804 (509) 457-6191 where the tire was reportedly replaced. I was given a new rental vehicle. I believe this was caused by a manufacturer's defect as I did not strike any object in the roadway which could have caused this failure to occur.

8 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of the 2006 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 08/14/2007

I bought a 2006 Toyota Tundra sr5 back in 2007. I have had my vehicle serviced every since I have bought it.

I have contacted Toyota about this and they say there has been no recall. . . Please look into this problem and also the tire pressure warning system light keeps malfunctioning. People spend too much money on these vehicles and last thing we all need is to fork out more money on a vehicle that is more less in a nut shell a lemon. Everytime I turn around it's something wrong with this type of vehicle. Thanks for your time and look forward to hearing about this problem.

9 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of the 2006 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 09/30/2006

Saturday afternoon 30 sept 2006 at about 3:00 pm, I just had my 2006 Toyota Tundra limited washed at a facility in conroe, TX. I departed, there drove about a half a mile at a speed of 15-20 mph and had a blowout on the right rear tire of my vehicle. While having this tire changed by aaa I was robbed by two black thugs who took advantage of the disabled situation. It was witnessed by the tire changer and it was so bold that we were unable to get the tag number or total description of the vehicle except make, color, and general description. A police report was filed with the conroe, TX police department. Tires are kept at proper pressure, maintained by me and the Toyota equipped pressure monitoring system. Since this had no cause except failure of the tire, my wife refuses to drive on bridgestone extended mileage tires that came with the vehicle. So at 17,000 miles I was forced to purchase 4 new different brand tires to provide for the safety of my family. This manufacturers flaw caused me to get robbed and placed me in unnecessary danger of being killed or injured while outside of a disabled vehicle. I feel that bridgestone sold to Toyota a defective tire which was installed on my vehicle. I have to only assume that the other three may have the same defect. I want bridgestone to reimburse me for the cost of replacing the entire four tires at a cost of $827. 73.

10 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of the 2005 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 03/14/2005

Tire pressure monitoring system does not work as designed. For the last 24,000 miles the system has not worked as intended with multiple failures of multiple types. Initial failures clustered around the pressure in the spare being set at a different pressure than the drive tires. Secondary failures clustered around the fact that the drive tires heated during operation and were subsequently at a different temperature and thus pressure than the spare. Inclusion of the monitor on the spare seems a design flaw. If the spare is needed than their will already be a tire on/in the vehicle signaling to the computer that a pressure event has occurred. Since the system does not signal which tire is low the information from the spare can only be a problem. Third the tire pressure monitor light started blinking. Diagnosis was a failed tpm sensor. Consultation at Toyota dealership with three master mechanics and a service manager established this as a chronic problem in Toyotas, especially if a tire is ever replaced. Their professional recommendation was a piece of black electrical tape over the light on the dash. They did offer to get the replacement sensor in. Even with the VIN they were unable to ascertain what part it is though. Toyota has two different sensors for this vehicle and there is apparently no way to determine the proper part until disassembly. Having a dash warning light on for thousands of miles desensitizes drives to important lights when they illuminate. If Toyota is unable to produce a system that works properly they should provide some way for dealers or owners to disable the system. Unfortunately the dealership indicates that no such work around is available.
