| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 toyota tundra sr5 double cab and have had all of my regular maintenance completed on time and at a local toyota dealership. I have made the complaint of my gas pedal sticking and my floor mats were not an issue. They claim they "fixed" the recall problem with adding a part to the gas pedal. Since i have had my truck back, it has not worked properly. The gas pedal still accelerates on its on or decelerates on its on. The gas pedal "floats" with your foot so the engine is constantly making the rpm's rise and fall constantly upon riding over bumps or hills. I don't want a "part" to be installed, i want the entire pedal to be replaced! I like my truck, however, the engine does not run correctly and is constantly making a ticking sound like a diesel engine would sound. I have made several complaints to the dealership and they are constantly telling me it is ok and nothing is wrong. Transmissions are not made to just down shift 3 gears right off the bat on the interstate on flat ground. Nothing has been done to try to correct this problem as they proclaim there is no problem. They are crazy! Pulling a horse trailer made it difficult for the transmission to shift properly and it was in tow mode. It took 1 mile or longer for it to shift from 1/2 gear to 4 gear and the rpm's were over 2,500.. This is not normal. I felt it would never shift downward from 1/2 gear. I am afraid to pull my horses with the transmission acting this way. |
