I took my tundra into the dealership where i bought it, for the power window motor recall. the airbag light had been coming on for about a year. they informed me that that means the airbag is inoperable. i asked them to check and tell me what the issue was. they ran a check,(code b1801) and said to rule out some other problem they would first have to change out the spiral cable assembly, at my cost. apparently that fixed the issue. it seems odd to me that with 8 million spiral cable assembly's under recall, that that would be the issue here, and it is not covered by the recall. the total cost was $507.13, to me. do i have any recourse? toyota customer service gave me this website address to report the issue, since they are unwilling to take any responsibility here. they said "they can't predict what will go wrong with a vehicle". *tr

Hello, two day ago i was pulling put of my condo complex when i noticed a burning plastic smell. after about 20 seconds smoke and very small flames started to pour out of the drivers door panel where the switches are located. there was no major fire damage but the car was filled with smoke and the switch that operates the passenger side front window melted down. i fortunately had some tools nearby so i quickly disconnected the battery cables as it was still arcing and sparking. the only switch that works properly is the drivers side front window. the following day i told my co worker about what happened. today he showed me the autoblog.com article regarding the story about toyotas window switches catching fire. how do i go about reporting this to you guys or someone else. my truck is a 2007 toyota tundra double cab 4.7 v8 2wd trd. *tr

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 *cn

Unresolved safety issues with 2007 toyota tundra: 1. towing mirrors vibrate, previously reported toyota case # 200704230738. mirrors are unusable above 40mph due to vibration. 2. bed bounce is so severe on some roads, particularly i-10 between indio and los angeles, that it is impossible to carry on a normal conversation. dealer response to both issues has been they all do this, so they cannot make a fix until toyota comes up with a solution. internet reports prove that the dealer is correct: all tundras have these problems. thus the problem is not with the dealer, but is indicative of first-year production problems. hopefully toyota can resolve this to avoid invoking lemon law protection. *tr
