Check engine light on, vsc and trac lights on - truck enters limp mode due to faulty secondary air intake system for emissions system. this is a known issue for sequoias and tundras, however not yet covered for the 2007 model year! dealer part costs $1,700. unless toyota recieves enough case problems for 2007 year, they will not extend warranty for parts, which they have done for all other affected years.
When at a complete stop (brakes applied), once releasing brake and slowly starting to move (less than 1 mph), everyone in the vehicle feels a nudge (like getting rear ended or a bad drive-line u-joint). also, feel a similar nudge when the automatic transmission shifts from 3rd to 4th gear (possibly 4th to 5th gear with the over-drive on) at about 50 mph. these conditions constantly occur every time the vehicle is driven (everyday!). reported both conditions to the dealer numerous times since nov 2012 (while under the extended warranty), and the dealer continues to say this is normal and continues to diagnose as suspension spring wrap/tension. the dealer action was to lube the drive-line u-joints (with no improvement). i do not buy it, and believe there is a much bigger issue/defect potentially with the automatic transmission and over-drive. now my extended warranty has expired and the nudge continues and has intensified. this is a safety concern not to mention i will not be able to sell the vehicle with this condition (s.o.l). my recommendation, do not buy a toyota truck or sport utility vehicle until toyota addresses the issue/defect. *tr
