Seems the 07 tundra is having transmission issues: http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/tundra/103690-2007-6-speed-transmission-failures/ http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/tundra/97561-6-spd-automatic-transmission-problem/ |

The best car company in the world has forums about solutions for Tundra problems already? They must just have been an errant snapring problem that they can blame on their supplier. Oh and the camshafts that are bad; same thing. All the other problems in other cars? Just supplier and customers that haven't adjusted to their new vehicles yet.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 05, 2007 4:44 am) According to the Edmunds.com automotive Web site, GM had about $3,600 worth of incentives on the Sierra and Silverado 1500 models, but Toyota bumped its Tundra incentives to an average of just over $5,000. How about them Avalons, down almost 18% for the YTD. I did not know they were having problems. A long row of unsold 2007 Avalons sits at a Toyota dealership in the southeast Denver suburb of Centennial, Colo., on Sunday, June 17, 2007 I counted 13 of Toyota's 29 models are in the negative for the YTD. Now with Tundra transmissions failing??? I think some heads may roll in the QC department.

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 05, 2007 8:05 am) Dealers here in NY are choking on them ! Local dealers are offering $5000rebate AND special APR rates along with dealer discounts off sticker to move them........... GM only has a $1500 rebate OR special APR rates on the 1/2 ton. NO rebate on the 3/4 tons tho.............

Replying to: hotel1 (Jul 10, 2007 8:50 am) June 2007: 21,727 June 2006: 8822 Percent increase: 137.2 First half, 2007: 82,840 First half, 2006: 57,458 Percent increase: 44.2 Toyota is sitting on such a huge pile of cash that they could give every 10th Tundra away for free and not make much of dent in that pile. Not a big deal about the model year changeover -- most car makers do it in July or August, if not sooner for some models. Also the 2007 models were only produced in numbers since about December or January.

Replying to: 210delray (Jul 10, 2007 9:16 am) Someone in another discussion had said that Toyota counted cars that are dropped on US shores as sold units, unlike other companies who actually count cars sold that month. Does anyone know about this? |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 10, 2007 10:10 am) For the Tundra, which is produced here, production will basically equal sales over the long term (except for a relatively small number sold in Canada or possibly Mexico). I obtained the sales numbers from an industry source, Ward's Automotive Reports. These will agree to the unit with Automotive News, which I haven't yet seen for this week. |
