I recently purchases a used 2007 toyota tundra double cab from a private party. I test drove the vehicle on AC pavement with no major issues, but upon purchasing and driving on my typical freeway commute traveling at normal speeds (55-70mph) it shakes violently. The shaking resonated at one point so violently that I lost control of the vehicle and had to drastically slow down to regain control. I am fearful of my safety and that of any passengers, especially my children. I have subsequently found forum information online that speaks to this "bed bounce" problem, and a relevant tsb from toyota. However, I cannot find an official tsb from toyota online or a genuine fix to the problem. Please help because I feel like I just bought a vehicle that is not safe to drive, and needless to say very angry that toyota has not addressed this problem in full.

2007 toyota tundra. Consumer states cruise control does engage and then will not disengage brakes. *tgw the consumer stated the brakes would not hold at stop signs and the vehicle would move forward. The vehicle had electrical shorts in the wiring such as; the headlights, clock, cigarette lighter, alarm and door locks. The seat belts would not always latch. The windshield wipers would not activate, there was a severe shake coming from the front of the vehicle as well as when the brakes were applied. There was a noise coming from the 4-wheel drive, the steering would act erratic and the accelerator pedal became stuck which caused the consumer to have an accident while backing out of his driveway..
2007 crewcab shakes rattles and vibrates so violently that it feels as though it may fall apart, the dashboard becomes a blur, it is absolutely unacceptable and after numerous call to toyota customer service, nothing has been done.
I have a 2007 toyota tundra double cab short bed truck. The truck has a reoccuring resonating bounce when driving on concrete roads between 70 and 80 MPH. The bounce is extremely uncomfortable and can become severe. Only a dramatic change in speed will stop the bouncing. Several on line forums are calling this problem "bed bounce"
2007 toyota tundra dual cab limited with 6' bed. Ride is fine except when driving at highway speeds on concrete highways with regularly-spaced expansion joints. Continuous problem. Truck resonates at this speed and results in choppy ride. Significant vibration throughout frame, not translated through steering wheel, and occurs regardless of load, although it is more pronounced when empty.
Vehicle front end vibrates at speeds between 60 and 70 MPH. There is sever steering wheel vibration. The front tires are showing wear the out side portion of the tire. The oem tires lasted 15,000 miles. I am now on a new set of tires that are exhibiting the same type of uneven tire wear. 1. Took the car to the dealer a minimum of four times to review the situation. 2. Had an independent automotive repair shop look at the problem. 3. Both the dealer ship and the automotive repair shop agree there is a vibration issue. 4. The dealer claims the issue is with the tire balance. They have "road force balanced the tires". 5. This has not solved the issue and the steering wheel vibration continues to occur. At times the vibration is very sever and other times the vibration is non existent.
I have a 2007 tundra dc trd truck. I replaced the oem tires at 19500 miles (bfg rugged trails) with michelin ltx at2's march 2009. I now have 23,800 miles on the truck. Now anytime I go over any type of bump regardless of speed the bed bounces so bad that it vibrates up through the cab. The bed bounced before but not this bad. I feel it in the drivers seat. If I drive on a back dirt road the back end bounces all over the road. I brought this to the attention of the local dealership and they said they hadn't heard of this problem when I reported it in september of 2009. Now that the mechanic called toyota headquarters in ca, he said there were numerous complaints and that there was no fix for it. Service manager said it was the tires. Dealer recommended I add weight in the bed, I added 5 sandbags, 300 lbs (winter is almost here) and it made no difference to the ride. I believe this could lead to a serious accident if not corrected.
Bouncing up and down on the toyota tundra 2007, impossible to travel, not recommended by doctor to travel with pregnant woman!!!!!called toyota, they saying nothing they can do, not enough complains yet.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tundra 4x4. While driving 55 MPH, the contact noticed a very noticeable bouncing sensation coming from the rear of the vehicle. The failure occurs when the speed exceeds 55 MPH and began weeks after the vehicle was purchased brand new. The vehicle becomes disconnected with the road. The dealer stated that they were not aware of the situation and could not locate any failures; however, they suggested that the tires could have been the cause of the failure. The contact believed that the suspension caused the vehicle to bounce up and down violently. Through research, he discovered several complaints regarding this issue. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 19,600.
I just purchased an 07 toyota tundra limited 2wd pickup truck. While driving on any cement freeway (especially those in southern california (101 ventura)), I experienced a "bed bounce" that was so severe, I almost lost control of the vehicle. This loss of control occurred at speeds ranging from 60mph to 75mph. I contacted toyota regarding this problem and they confirmed it is a problem with the tundra trucks but are not working on any fixes. This answer is unacceptable. I am unable to drive this vehicle on "cement" freeways because of the lack of control. Toyota is unwilling to do anything about it.... I have no other option but to file this complaint with you.
While traveling down the highway there is a very noticeable bounce coming from the back end and it doesn't matter what highway it is on it does it when ever you get over 65 MPH.
Bed bounce is horrible on my 2007 tundra. Not only does it happen at speeds of 55-70 on the highway, but gets very shaky when slowing down to turn. It has made me very uncomfortable driving, because I am more concerned about the bed bounce than the other traffic around me.
Bed bounces and shakes excessively. Toyota is aware of the defect but refuses to correct it. This condition can cause vehicle instability and driver fatigue, especially at highway speeds on concrete roadways.
Unsafe bed bounce-tundra 2007.
I have a 2007 toyota tundra crewmax. When driving on concrete freeways the bed of the truck bounces very very bad worse than any other truck I have ever ridden in. I sometimes feel unsafe like maybe its bouncing so much that it could be dangerous if I need to stop suddenly. I don't think the tires come off the ground but the vibration is so bad that talking becomes difficult.
On several occasions while driving at highway speeds on concrete surface, I have experienced severe vehicle shaking on my new 2007 toyota tundra. Upon investigating this I have noted many other owners experiencing this same problem and calling it tundra bed bounce. I have taken the vehicle to two different dealers. Neither dealer would acknowledge a problem or offer any solutions. One of the dealers suggested I add about 200 pounds of weight to the bed of the truck to try to improve the ride. I contacted toyota customer experience center to complain of this problem and was given a case file number. Their representative informed me that toyota has received many complaints but at this point in time they are doing nothing to correct this defect or problem. This is completely unacceptable and a potential safety hazard to anyone on the road.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tundra. The contact stated that his vehicle vibrates while driving between 60-70 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnosis on october 12, 2007, in which two wheels were rotated and balanced. The dealer's invoice did not specify whether the front or rear wheels were balanced. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer several times, because the vibration persists. In addition, both exterior mirrors have a sharp plastic edge and the contact's forehead was cut while vacuuming the vehicle. The dealer was unable to correct the vibration and felt that the contact being injured by the mirror edge was humorous. The manufacturer took a report, but did not offer any assistance. The current mileage was 17,800 and failure mileage was 2,400. Updated 6/2/08
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tundra. While driving 20-30 MPH, the vehicle rode extremely bumpy. The dealer balanced the tires and stated that he needed to put more miles on the vehicle; however, the failure continued to occur. The contact took the vehicle to a tire shop and they stated that the wheels were damaged. The dealer inspected the vehicle and stated that the rear axles caused the failure. As of april 18, 2008, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle. The failure mileage was 30 and current mileage was 11,886.
Severe rear end oscillations/bouncing causing blurred vision on part of driver when traveling on concrete highways/freeways at any speed.
I purchased a newly redesigned 2007 toyota tundra in september 2007. The truck experiences severe "bed bounce" every time I drive on new sections of concrete highway/interstate. It is so severe that I have left the tundra in the garage and been driving one of my other cars. Toyota is aware of the problem and many (# unknown) have filed complaints with their customer service group. There are several tundra owner forums on the internet with details from owners. Google :"tundra bed bounce" and you will see.
Bed bounce!!!
Truck has extreme vibration, bounce and overall shake at freeway speeds as felt throughout the vehicle. This combined with the very light steering and accelerator effort leads to a very unstable feeling of not being in control of the vehicle. It is difficult to maintain even and steady accelerator pressure and steering direction. Dealership has rotated and balanced tires and performed alignment, but has made zero difference. Dealership has made 3 attempts so far to fix. I have been told toyota is working on the issue.
On the freeway, the front end of the truck bounces and shakes so badly as to be difficult to control.
Noticed an excessive vibration at highway speeds in the steering wheel and seat. When drivers sunvisor was swung over to side window it shook like crazy, as a visual indication! Dealership service department told me that toyota is aware of this but there is no fix for it. After making a complaint with management at the dealership they attempted to balance the tires and perform an alignment. This did not help. I was also told to put weight in the bed. This did not help. Shop foreman called this the "tundra bounce" after he drove it and confirmed my complaint. After three attempts with the dealership to fix the problem I have contacted toyota to start the arbitration process.
