2007 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the check engine, ESC, and vsc warning indicators illuminated as I was entering the freeway then the vehicle started to lose power and would not accelerate more than 60mph, the truck went into a limp mode. I reset the ECM by disconnecting the battery but it came back. The approximate failure mileage was 71k. This issue is all over the internet and should be covered by emissions warranty. Called the dealer and it is not covered by federal emissions warranty after 10yrs. Not good!

I have a 5.7l 2007 toyota tundra. It has been raining real bad in texas and the other day the check engine light came on when I was going down the highway and it lost power. I took it and had it checked. I have an error code p0419. I have read multiple instances online and an extended warranty was issues for 10 years 150k miles, but I am out by time, and I only have 88k miles. This is a safety issues as if I was passing someone and lost power, I could have been in a wreck. This has been a known issue by toyota and needs to be addressed by a general recall.

Issues with toyota's secondary air intake pump seems to be a major issue. Since 2007, now toyota has control over the necessary parts and will release as they seem fit. I have waited over two weeks to get these parts and installed. And the dealership says they have no idea how long it will be could be weeks. They know that the pump has issues and will not fix the problem till it goes bad. And if your driving down the interstate and you lose power that could be a safety issue. My truck broke down in my driveway as I was pulling out to go on a 3000 plus mile road trip. Wish a recall can be ordered to fix the issue before hand.

Bought a 2007 toyota tundra. Noticed around 23,450 miles that something was turning (spinning) and felt like it was coming through the driverside floor . Right underneath my feet. Brought it in toyota said they didn't find anything. Later heard noises on the left side of engine near left tire. Then shaking and vibrations followed. Around 60,000 miles transmission started slipping and clunking noises came from the engine. 65,000 miles started losing power. Fuel pump failure. Paid for a new fuel pump system $777.79. Turns out 2007 model has to replace whole system. No other tundra needs to. At 68,000 miles it got worse . Transmission diagnostic says transmission needs to be replaced. $4500. At 96,000 miles my truck in non operating. Toyota will not replace transmission. Even though a toyota operations manager states it is not normal for transmission to go out this soon at so little mileage. The average time is between 15-20 years with the high technology that cars are built with now a days. Is what he said to me. Older cars built years ago transmissions normally last around 5 years sometimes 10 if they were lucky. So supposedly our vehicles are built smarter now adays. I have so many problems I find that hard to believe.

2007 toyota tundra, I was taking my tundra in for an oil change and the check engine light came on and I started losing power on my truck I had them check it. Toyota came back and said that fuel vapor switching valve was stuck closed, I took it to another repair shop for a second opinion they found that a secondary injection pump was stuck open, they suggested I take it back to toyota for clarification. Toyota's second diagnosis was they found both air injection pumps were corroded and needed to be replaced for $2100.00. This is a design flaw the dealer called toyota and said they would pay $600.00 but I had to pay for the rest. This is a design flaw that toyota has all but admitted to but won't really do anything to fix it. They should be help responsible for the whole amount. I was told they won't because my truck has 110,00 miles on it. Mileage has nothing to do with this issue its a design issue.
