I had my 2007 tundra into texas toyota for warranty work. They installed the "recall" fix. ( I never had any trouble before the "recall fix") since the "fix," I have had 1 acceleration when I took my foot off the accelerator, and many short burst while I was driving.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tundra. I had my tundra run away with me twice; both times it occurred when I went to passing gear while in cruise control. Prospect motors in jackson ca looked into the problem and said it was the floor mat. I argued with the service guy, but he wouldn't listen. I know for sure that during the first occurrence that the floor mat was secured. And I would bet that it wasn't the issue with the second incident. I use cruise control a lot but no longer leave it on when using passing gear. The first time incident, I was able to regain speed control by stomping on both the brake and gas petals. I was never able to regain speed control during the second incident. I had to stand on the brake pedal with both feet and pull against the steering wheel while trying to get off to the side of the road safely. Once off the road I was able to turn off the engine. We almost crashed into the oncoming traffic. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated. I have no faith in toyota's remedy for this problem. The failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 33,000. Updated 03/10/10 *bf the consumer requested that no changes be made to his complaint. Updated 05/10/10
No official notification of pedal failure on my affective 2007 toyota tundra. I thought that companies were required by law to supply official notification sent to you for a safety recall. I also had another recall for driveshaft separation that this VIN was also included, but was told by local dealer that it wasn't.
On october 31st 2008 I was in an accident involving my 2007 toyota tundra. This accident occurred at 7:30am on I-20 just west of atlanta. I hit another vehicle in the rear and totaled my truck. At the time of the accident I felt like my truck was accelerating even while I was applying the brake. Until the reports starting appearing about the accelerator issue I really didn't think much about my accident. I feel like a stuck accelerator pedal caused my accident.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tundra. He received notification from toyota advising him that his vehicle was a part of the toyota accelerator pedal recall (see the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v017000) in october of 2009. He has been in contact with his dealer from october 2009 to february 2010 to have the necessary recall repair performed. He was told that the parts were not available and they did not know when they would become available. He was also advised that they would contact him upon receiving the necessary parts. The contact is concerned that he had to wait so long to have the defect repaired since it could potentially cause a crash to occur. There were no failures to date. The current mileage was 22,500.
I own a 2007 toyota tundra, the gas pedal has stuck to the floor 2 times "10/07 & 1/10. Is it needed by you for further investigation?
Tl*the contact owns 2007 toyota tundra. He attempted to stop the vehicle while driving 5 MPH into traffic when the vehicle lunged forward. He was able to avoid a collision by shifting into neutral gear while applying pressure to the brake pedal. The dealer was unable to recreate the failure and stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. He also stated he is afraid to drive to vehicle. The failure and the current mileages were 16,000. Updated 3/8/10 *cn the consumer stated he had just stopped at a light with his foot on the brake and all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated. The consumer was able to place the gear in neutral to avoid a collision. Updated 06/04/10.
I was behind a car making a left turn with the left blinker clearly on, I had slowed to about 10 or 15 MPH and was about 1 or 2 car lengths behind the car. I applied the brakes and the truck went to a full throttle condition... I glanced down to see if my foot was on the gas??? It was fully on the brake I then stood on the brake pedal but with the full throttle it continued forward until I hit the car and pushed it like a bulldozer. My truck continued about 20 before finally stopping. About 2 weeks before this incident I had a similar incident while on a down ramp with a car at least 20 car lengths in front of me. I applied the brake and it took off??? I questioned myself as to what had happened? It acts like the resume button is pressed for cruise control but I did not have cruise on either time. In reading toyotas description of the problem they say... Sticking and or hard to press on the pedal I have not had any of those problems.in talking with toyota I was asked what I thought the problem might be and I said I think the cruise control module might be involved. It has an input from the gas pedal, an input from the brake pedal and an output to the throttle positioner. It is my feeling that there are more problems than just a gas pedal issue.
The physical pedal seems to stick when pressure is reduced (slowing or decelerating) but pops free once most of the pressure has been released. This has happened several times in the past year and a half. I did not return it to the dealer, instead I was able to remove the pedal assembly and apply several drops of wd40 to the pivot shaft and bushing. After working the pedal a few times and re-installing back into the vehicle, the pedal seemed to operate normally for up to 4 to 5 months before starting to stick once more. Note: the vehicle never accelerated on its own nor did the pedal not return to the idle position.
Christmas eve 2008 my wife and I were driving our 2007 toyota tundra from bel air maryland to ladson, sc. Just outside of colonial hts, va., I took the tundra out of cruise control because I was approaching a tractor trailer in front of me but the tundra kept accelerating toward the semi. I had to stand on the brake with both feet to slow the tundra down so I could move into the right lane and eventually stop it on the right shoulder of i95. I tried to call aaa but was unable to correctly dial my cell phone as I was still too excited due to the rush of adrenaline I had experienced. My wife and I thought the problem was related to the cruise control so once I calmed down we continued our drive to sc. The next morning I took the truck into the ladson or summerville toyata dealer who kept it that day and finally called to say nothing was wrong. At the time I still thought it was a cruise control issue but now I believe it was part of the toyota accelerator problem. I still have the truck and have not experienced another incident since the one in december 2008
07 toyota tundra recall - received notice in october - still no solution from toyota.
Tl*the contact owns 2007 toyota tundra. He purchased the vehicle brand new in may of 2007. In june of 2007 while he was driving 55 MPH on the highway and attempting to pass a vehicle, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. He was able to stop the vehicle by putting the gear in neutral and driving on the side walk to avoid a crash in order to turn the vehicle off. He experienced the failure three times. He took the vehicle to two toyota dealers who stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle; yet, the floor mat may have caused the vehicle to accelerate. He advised the dealers that he did not have the floor mat in his vehicle when the failure occurred. He took the vehicle to a gmc dealer who stated that it could be a computer failure. He also asked the dealer if he could trade the vehicle when he experienced the first failure. The dealer stated that they could not take the vehicle back. The failure mileage was 9,000 and the current mileage was 75,000. Updated 02/19/10. *lj updated 07/26/10
Have noted intermittent instances of surging acceleration from a stop, and at highway speeds under load. Occurs 5-10 times a week. Started at about 8k miles. Dealer "says" unable to duplicate. Frequency increasing as mileage increases. Received recall notice in mail last week. Went over 36,000 miles two weeks ago. Recall plus surging makes one question safety of tundra.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tundra. While attempting to accelerate at approximately 40 MPH on normal road conditions, the accelerator pedal became stuck. After repeated application she was able to release the accelerator pedal. An identical failure occurred on a separate occasion. The vehicle has not been inspected. The vehicle identification number was unavailable. The failure mileage was 10,000. The current mileage was 12,000.
My 2007 toyota tundra hesitates when you are stopped at a light making a turn or slowly rolling around a corner and making a sharp turn. No matter how much gas is given it retards it self and then lurch once the wheels start to straiten up. I was told it is a computer issue due to the antislip features. But it is gross over correction at best. And dangerous for sure.
I just noticed others had complaints about this issue too on your site. I brought it to the attention of the dealer and they had no fix except to remove one or the other although the standard clip does not work well with their mudder mats. I was entering the highway from the ramp and pressed down to accelerate to move into traffic and the truck accelerated as hard and fast as it could. I found myself having to weave through traffic like I was in a nascar race. When I finally found a clear path to the shoulder I swerved onto it and shut the truck off. It would not slow down and I could not shift into neutral. I had to be going about 60 at the top of the onramp and well over 100, probably faster, when I finally was able to shut it off. I got out of the truck to take a break and calm down and upon returning to the truck I noticed that the "mudder mats" I bought from a toyota site slipped forward enough to wedge itself under the gas pedal. I stay aware of the position of the mat more frequently now and keep it slid back but there is no restraint for it that will go thru both the floor liner that protects more of the floor area and the mudder mat on top of it. I bought both at the tundra parts site. I hope that there will be some warning for others made big and dramatic enough to bring attention to this problem to avoid having this happen to another. I was very lucky to have survived this.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 35 MPH on a sandy road, the accelerator pedal extended to the floor without assistance. Suddenly, the vehicle accelerated aggressively and forcefully at 70 MPH. When the brake pedal was depressed, there was no response. The contact shut off the ignition while the vehicle was in operation in order to come to a complete stop. The driver inspected the vehicle and started the ignition. The vehicle resumed to normal operation. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to two different authorized dealers for inspection, but they could not duplicate the failures. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 28,400 and current mileage was 28,800.
While driving at approx. 55mph the accelerator pedal on my 2007 toyota tundra suddenly dropped to the floor below my right foot. My truck accelerated to full throttle. The cruise control was not on. The accelerator was not stuck to the floor mat. The truck accelerated at a rapid pace and nearly ran into the rear of the vehicle in front of me on the roadway. I attempted to stop the vehicle by tapping on the brakes, then the accelerator and turning the cruise control button off even though the cruise was already off. Nothing responded and the truck continued to accelerate to a dangerous speed. The accelerator was "floored" and would not move. I had to maneuver around the vehicle in front of me and several that passed going the opposite direction quickly. The truck was gaining speed at an incredibly rapid pace. I continued to brake the truck in an attempt to stop the vehicle and prevent loosing control. I then attempted to down-shift the transmission. This caused the engine to rev uncontrollably. The same happened when shifted into neutral in an attempt to turn the engine off with the key. The RPM's were revving so high that I feared the engine would blow up. I pulled my truck into a boat parking area on the roadside and slammed on the brakes while putting the truck into neutral and turning the engine key to off. The engine, brakes and transmission were all smoking from the stress and high RPM's. I had experienced a similar uncontrollable acceleration about six months prior (jan. 2008) to this one but was able to recover quickly by hitting the brakes and presumed that it was something wrong with the cruise control. Toyota replaced the accelerator pedal sensor assy but would not say whether this was the cause of the uncontrollable acceleration. They said that it was possibly caused by the aftermarket floor mats that I purchased at the dealership. Unfortunately, the pedal dropped from under my foot without my intervention. Toyota has not responded to my calls.
Tl*the contact owned a 2007 toyota tundra. While the contact's husband was driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle accelerated between approximately 80-100 MPH, crashed into a tree and the driver was killed. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact believed that the crash was related to the recall about the aftermarket all weather floor mats becoming stuck and causing the vehicle to accelerate. A police report was filed. The current and failure mileages were approximately 35,000. Updated 03-11-08 *bf updated 05/10/10 *bf updated 06/17/10*jb updated 9/21/2011
Toyota 2007 tundra twice accelerated uncontrollably due to a stuck accelerator on the factory floor mats, which are a very thick rubber and don't come with safety clips. Mat was moved back but fear it may slide forward again.
2007 toyota tundra tire failure and air bag failure. Consumer would like all information regarding this vehicle due to the death of his son. *kb a request was made to the federal safety agency to use toyota's read out tool (rot) for even data recorders to read out the edr which is in the possession of the consumer. The vehicle was subject to two recalls. *jb updated 06/16/10.
Please see my write-up on the toyota tundra forum website: http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/tundra-problems-dealer-service/30988-warning-accelerator-stuck.html. *jb the web forum entry describes an unwanted acceleration incident that was caused by an unsecured aftermarket floor mat entrapping the accelerator pedal after application.
2007 toyota tundra dc 5.7l limited. I was driving on the freeway and I went to pass another vehicle when I got into the next lane and another car changed lanes in front of me and I was forced to slam the brakes. The ABS system engaged and slowed vehicle down , but the truck felt like it was being pushed forward... By this time I had enough room in front of me, so I let off the brakes and the truck jumped like I was holding my foot on the gas. I almost hit the car in front of me again. I slammed on the y brakes again and the ABS system kicked in, and the truck was still trying to accelerate, but I held the brake hard enough that I didn't hit the car in front of me. At this point I had to do something. I stuck the truck in neutral and tried to get to the side of the freeway. When I got stopped I had 3 lights on ., brake, vsc, and a picture of a car with 2 crooked lines on it. I believed it was traction control. By now the truck was normal again but the lights were on so I took the truck straight to the dealer .
