2007 Toyota Tundra power train problems

“Intermittent Transmission issue. Truck will not shift into 5th or 6th gear. Temporary fix is turning the car off and on again. Problem will eventually return. Is this a Software or Hardware issue? Is there a campaign or recall on this issue?”

“Check engine light came on suddenly and acceleration slowed… truck will no longer go over 30 mph. Replaced radiator, driver air injection module, and regularly changed oil. no check engine light now the injection module was replaced but truck still will not go over 30 mph or 1800-2000 rpm’s.”

“While driving at speeds between 30 - 50 miles an hour. There is a very rough shudder coming from the transmission. It will get better by speeding up or by stopping the vehicle and turning the car off. When the shudder starts and you try to come to a stop the rear end of the vehicle shakes excessively. You think the back of the truck is going to skip off the road. Toyota did a manufacture service bulletin for this issue. However they only covered certain years and my VIN was not included in the fix. My vehicle now has 211000 miles and it is happening to my vehicle.”

“Transmission shifts very rough. When let off accelerator then back on the trans shift very rough. When coming to a stop and at a stop the trans jumps as if it’s downshifting while sitting still. These issues have been existing since I initially purchased the vehicle. It was reported and I was told it’s normal.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while idle at a traffic light and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle was jerking with a popping sound coming from underneath the vehicle near the middle and the rear end. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the yoke had separated from the driveshaft. The vehicle was not repaired by the mechanic and was instead taken to the dealer for a possible recall repair related to the failure. The dealer confirmed the diagnostic result however, the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 07V579000 (Power Train). The contact stated that the same failure had occurred 5 years prior and the vehicle was repaired out-of-pocket. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
