2007 Toyota Tundra Electrical Problems

You discovered that your 2007 Toyota Tundra's actual mileage doesn't match what was recorded on the title. When you bought the truck as a private sale, the odometer showed around 145,000 miles, but a Carfax report later revealed the title documented approximately 330,000 miles back in 2018—suggesting the odometer may have been rolled back. This is a serious issue that affects the vehicle's true value and history.

6/20/12 I NOTICED MASTER POWER WINDOW BUTTON ON DRIVER?S SIDE DOOR FOR THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WAS STUCK AND WOULD NOT OPERATE. 6/21/12 I STARTED THE TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED ON THE AC, LEFT THE VEHICLE TO GRAB MY BRIEFCASE AND GET IN NO MORE THAN 15 SECONDS. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR I NOTICED SMOKE AT THE ENTRYWAY BUT COULDN?T IDENTIFY WHAT OR WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I APPEARED TO GO AWAY SO I THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING SOMETHING. I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THE SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL WIRES ABOUT THE TIME MY HEAD TURNED I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW MASTER CONTROL AND GETTING BIG FAST, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT REALLY CAME OUT FAST. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS FLAMES OR NOT. IT WAS NOT IN FLAMES BUT THE SMOKE WAS STILL COMING OUT. I GRABBED THE FUSE BOX PANEL AND TRIED TO IDENTIFY THE FUSE FOR THE POWER WINDOWS. IT TOOK A CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP TO IDENTIFY THE FUSE UNDER THE DASHBOARD I DIDN?T KNOW WAS THERE I THOUGHT THEE WAS ONLY 1 FUSE PANEL BOX. THE DEALERSHIP WAS EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE AND A LOT OF HELP. SERVICE ADVISOR WE IDENTIFIED THE CORRECT FUSE, REMOVED IT AND THE SMOKE STOPPED. I HAVE NO OTHER PROBLEMS THAT I KNOW OF. THIS IS A 2007 VEHICLE WITH A FIRE DEFECT. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT THERE ARE IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT THE TUNDRA WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS A MODEL AFFECTED BUT IT SURE SHOULD BE. THERE IS NOT A RECALL AS OF THIS TIME AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET. *INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) TT

HELLO, TWO DAY AGO I WAS PULLING PUT OF MY CONDO COMPLEX WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS SMOKE AND VERY SMALL FLAMES STARTED TO POUR OUT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR PANEL WHERE THE SWITCHES ARE LOCATED. THERE WAS NO MAJOR FIRE DAMAGE BUT THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE AND THE SWITCH THAT OPERATES THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW MELTED DOWN. I FORTUNATELY HAD SOME TOOLS NEARBY SO I QUICKLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES AS IT WAS STILL ARCING AND SPARKING. THE ONLY SWITCH THAT WORKS PROPERLY IS THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOLD MY CO WORKER ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. TODAY HE SHOWED ME THE AUTOBLOG.COM ARTICLE REGARDING THE STORY ABOUT TOYOTAS WINDOW SWITCHES CATCHING FIRE. HOW DO I GO ABOUT REPORTING THIS TO YOU GUYS OR SOMEONE ELSE. MY TRUCK IS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB 4.7 V8 2WD TRD. *TR

TOY. 2007 5.7 CREW-MAX 4+4 P2440 CODE CAME ON AND TRUCK WENT INTO SAFETY MODE .GREATLY REDUCED SPEED . 4 LO LT. COMES ON AS WELL AS ENGINE,TRACTION AND ANTI SLIP LTS. I CARRY A HAND-HELD CODE DETECTOR AND CLEAR THE CODE AS SOON AS IT COMES UP AND CONTINUOUSLY CLEAR IT AS I'M DRIVING. TOYOTA WANTED 3400.00 TO FIX THIS DEFECT AFTER I BOUGHT 3 NEW TUNDRAS FROM THEM EVERY 3 YEARS. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR 13 MO. 8 MO. INTO IT MY TRUCK STARTED DYING AND WOULD NOT START FOR SEVERAL MIN.WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND WAS STRANDED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD MORE THAN ONCE. THIS WENT ON FOR 1 WEEK 2 DIFFERENT TIMES THAN IT STARTED RUNNING AGAIN WITH JUST THE P2440 CODE COMING UP ALL THE TIME AND SHUTTING ME DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING MY BROTHER IN LAW WHO ALSO HAD A 2007 TUNDRA EX. CAB. THEY FIXED HIS BECAUSE HE WAS ONLY 1500 MILE OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN MY TROUBLE STARTED I WAS AT 70,000+ MI. DEFECT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AMT. OF MILES,JUST TIME(AFTER 3 YRS.)AFTER 13 MO. STILL NO HELP FROM TOYOTA AND NO RECALL.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 4.7L THAT DOESN'T LIKE TO START ALL THE TIME. WHILE THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE I BELIEVE YOU ARE LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. AS A FORMER MECHANIC/CURRENT ELECTRICIAN/AS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING I BELIEVE MY PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY ELECTRICAL IN NATURE. I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED BUT I FIGURED I WOULD SEND A MESSAGE AND GIVE YOU A HEADS UP. ALSO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN IN TOWN HERE HAS THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE BOTH BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY STILL WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. TODAY I AM SENDING MY PAPERWORK TO A LAW FIRM WHO SPECIALIZES IN THE PA LEMON LAW. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE. THEY JUST DID THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK LAST WEEK AND I'M GOING ON A LONG TRIP TOMORROW SO WISH ME LUCK! LOL THANKS! *TR

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. *TR
