I purchased my 07 Tundra 4x4 on Labor Weekend, 5.7 liter with 6 speed auto. Today, I have 15K miles on it. Within 2 weeks, I went back to the dealer because the torgue converter wasn't downshifting cleanly. The tranny vibration was like going over a rumble strip. The technicians at the dealer didn't notice the vibration. I insisted they hook up their laptop to the diagnostic port and we went for a drive. After replicating the problem on multiple issues, the dealer agreed and subsequently replaced the transmission and torgue converter. Today, the transmission slips (hot or cold) when driving up my 22 degree driveway. When I purchased the truck, I had a 5 state sales territory. I have experienced the roads of Colorado to California. On the older Southern California freeways, the expansion joints caused the rear end of the truck to bounce almost uncontrollably. A couple of times I thought I hurt my back. Outside of So. Cal, the bed bounce has been a non-issue. I seen various messages regarding the knocking noise coming from a cold engine in the morning. I have the same issue. The sound reminds me of the "piston slap" I experienced from my 1965 Mustang with 200K miles on it. After the engine warms up, the piston slap noise goes away, just as my Mustang did 30 years old. This isn't normal. If the issues above persist or get worse, I'll take it back to the dealer and have it fixed. Other than the comments above, I don't think I couldn't have bought a better truck. |

Replying to: kl67 (Feb 21, 2008 8:18 am) I commend Toyota for taking care of the problem...as I have stated many times I would still be fighting with Ford/Chevy and would still be trying to get Dodge to acknowledge that there was even a problem. Toyota may have a few issues with the introduction of their new truck but making it right is what they are doing right. They have earned themselves one more loyal Toyota customer! In a couple of years when my wife is ready to get out of her Impala we will be shopping for a Toyota if they have kept up the good work. Kirk

| There is a problem with filling the top of the tank, not with the gas guage. You can squeeze several gallons extra after automatic shutoff by dribbling the fuel slowly to top off the tank. It is very slow and annoying to do so. | |
