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.

6/20/12 I NOTICED MASTER POWER WINDOW BUTTON ON DRIVER?S SIDE DOOR FOR THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WAS STUCK AND WOULD NOT OPERATE. 6/21/12 I STARTED THE TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED ON THE AC, LEFT THE VEHICLE TO GRAB MY BRIEFCASE AND GET IN NO MORE THAN 15 SECONDS. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR I NOTICED SMOKE AT THE ENTRYWAY BUT COULDN?T IDENTIFY WHAT OR WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I APPEARED TO GO AWAY SO I THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING SOMETHING. I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THE SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL WIRES ABOUT THE TIME MY HEAD TURNED I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW MASTER CONTROL AND GETTING BIG FAST, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT REALLY CAME OUT FAST. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS FLAMES OR NOT. IT WAS NOT IN FLAMES BUT THE SMOKE WAS STILL COMING OUT. I GRABBED THE FUSE BOX PANEL AND TRIED TO IDENTIFY THE FUSE FOR THE POWER WINDOWS. IT TOOK A CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP TO IDENTIFY THE FUSE UNDER THE DASHBOARD I DIDN?T KNOW WAS THERE I THOUGHT THEE WAS ONLY 1 FUSE PANEL BOX. THE DEALERSHIP WAS EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE AND A LOT OF HELP. SERVICE ADVISOR WE IDENTIFIED THE CORRECT FUSE, REMOVED IT AND THE SMOKE STOPPED. I HAVE NO OTHER PROBLEMS THAT I KNOW OF. THIS IS A 2007 VEHICLE WITH A FIRE DEFECT. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT THERE ARE IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT THE TUNDRA WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS A MODEL AFFECTED BUT IT SURE SHOULD BE. THERE IS NOT A RECALL AS OF THIS TIME AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET. *INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) TT

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. *JS
