The starting date and mileage above is approximate. A sensation of being rear-ended a kind of bump or clunk. Your stopped at an intersection and then clunk. Or, just before taking off from being stopped at an intersection "clunk". The frequency of this symptom started off as just once in a while when first noticed at around 36k miles. Now with 58,000 it happens on a regular basis, say, every 50 miles or so. I keep a mileage log for my business and began documenting when this occurs. I presented this issue to the dealer twice but have failed to replicate it for them to experience.

What owners say
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.
When coming to a stop, I feel a clunk and after coming to a complete stop, it feels like another vehicle bumps the rear bumper. This has happened since I bought the truck but toyota dealer says that's normal, nothing wrong. The problem seems to be getting worse.
As I slow down I feel a clunk in the transmission. A few seconds after I come to a complete stop, it feels as if someone bumps me in the rear, only there's no car behind me.. Also in the mornings the transmission will not change into 6th gear until I drive app. 1 mile .
I have a 2007 toyota tundra crewmax I feel a clunk in the transmission or rear end a few seconds after I come to a complete stop. It feels as if some other car has bumped me in the rear and there are no other vehicles around. On some occasions the thump is much worse than other times. This started several months ago and I thought it may have had something to do with a sudden stop I made when an animal crossed the road in front of me. I haven't had my dealer check this yet but I now realize others are having the same problem so I will get it to the dealer soon. I have approximately 26,000 miles and close to warranty expiration.
I feel a clunk in the transmission or rear end a few seconds after I come to a complete stop, it feels as if someone bumps me in the rear, only there's no car behind me. I complained about it at the dealer but they say they do not know how to fix it? Now the bump is getting even more pronounced. Also in the mornings the transmission will not change into 5th or 6th gear until I drive app. 1 mile. I am nearing 25,000 miles and would like these issues fixed before the expiration of my warranty.

- What is wrong
- On certain 4-wheel drive pickup trucks, due to the improper heat treatment of the slip yokes that had been reworked during the manufacturing process, the hardness of the slip yoke may be insufficient.
- Risk
- In this condition, there is a possibility that the yoke may break causing the propeller shaft to separate at the joint and come into contact with the road surface or the fuel tank which could result in a loss of vehicle control or a fuel leak.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the slip yoke and replace the propeller shaft if necessary free of charge. The recall began on january 7, 2008. Owners may contact toyota at 1‑800‑331‑4331.
