What owners say
My check engine light has come on. As well as the lights stating the vehicle stability control and traction control systems have been disabled. The transmission will not shift out of third gear and the vsc being off is causing an unsafe driving condition due to slipping tires around corners at normal speeds. Upon checking the engine code p2714 and p0751 I have come to find out there is an internal toyota technical service bulletin circulating their dealership service departments dating back to november 28, 2007 when this issue was first discovered. The bulletin is named tc017-07. Also upon further investigation I have found numerous posts about this code and the exact issues my vehicle suffers from on multiple toyota tundra message and internet chat groups. This is a very serious issue which could easily cause loss of life or property if these vehicles with this issue are suddenly prone to the vsc and transmission acting abnormally. This issue for me came up very suddenly with no prior warning as the dash lights came in while driving. I will be asking totota to fix this issue at their cost with the remedy they describe in their service bulletin. The remedy they recommend is to replace the transmission and reprogram the ECM.
I hear a strange, almost slipping sound sometimes when I take off, or turn a corner, almost like I'm not getting traction. It doesn't happen all the time and never when I take it in..is this normal or sometime I should worry about?
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.

- 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.
