A new transmission was put in my 07 Tundra in 2018 (do to improper service) worked well at that time. In 2019 tail shaft seal started to leak again was then replaced with a new seal geniune Toyota seal has worked well for about 3k miles and has started to leak again it seems to only leak after once the truck gets warmed up and only when it is in motion on hwy or streets. I am seeing a lot of complaints online about this! will include links. I see recalls for 07 4wd for this problem but not for the 2wd why it sounds like the same problem exactly, and feel this could be a big safety problem leading to an accident, fire or death. .

Managed to get vehicle to nearby parking lot and out of traffic. Complete loss of power to drive train. Cause was power steering unit sensor per Toyota. Toyota covered part in attempt to prevent this complaint. From internet, "some 2007-2008 Toyota Tundra vehicles may experience power steering dtcs p0552 and/or p0553. The power steering sensor has since been changed to correct this condition. The old/previous power steering sensor is p/n 89448-34010. This has been replaced with sensor p/n 89448-34020. Using tis techstream, confirm the condition by checking for dtcs p0552 and/or p-553. Disconnect the pressure sensor connector and proceed with removing the power steering pressure switch, which is located at the power steering vane pump and is mounted to the high pressure feed line.

The above vehicle was purchased on 07/06/2014 at about 2100 hours. The vehicle was driven home, which was approximately five miles away. The vehicle was parked in a residential driveway and on 07/07/2014 returned to the vehicle and saw that there was a pool of fluid under the parked vehicle. Upon examination I found that the vehicle had leaked a large amount of transmission fluid. The dealer was contacted and the vehicle was towed to the dealership (frontier Toyota valencia CA. ) I was contacted later that same day and advised that the vehicle had a faulty transmission seal which allowed the transmission fluid to leak from the vehicle. They also advised that the transmission had lost ten ounces of transmission fluid. My concern is that if the vehicle had been driven any distance with the above described leak the transmission would have leaked out all of the transmission fluid causing the potential for transmission failure, loss of control from leaking fluids on tires or possible fire from overheated fluids on hot exhaust and or engine parts/.

When returning to my2003 Toyota Tundra, from a doctors appt, I noticed a pool of liquid, under the rear axle of the truck. Having wife back truck up, I checked this viscous, clearish fluid, finding it to be a rear end oil/grease, and had been leaking from mid housing of the rearend. Upon further inspection, I found this had been leaking for enough time that oil spots were all over the rear window of and tailgate of truck. I called Toyota to look at it and they wanted ?$120 just to look at it, so I brought to a mechanic down the road form Toyota and he found the rear axle housing had rusted thru. He in 40 years had never heard of this problem, and while searching for a replacement rear end, could only find one "good used" one in new england. He obtained and replaced my damaged one, for a cost of >$1000. He later told me he had another one come in less then a week, same problem. At home, I found oil had been leaking front the back of the truck for some time, evidenced by oil on the ground and wood near where the back of the truck was backed into driveway.
