| Description of the problem | A new transmission was put in my 07 tundra in 2018 (do to improper service) worked well at that time. In 2019 tail shaft seal started to leak again was then replaced with a new seal geniune toyota seal has worked well for about 3k miles and has started to leak again it seems to only leak after once the truck gets warmed up and only when it is in motion on hwy or streets. I am seeing a lot of complaints online about this! Will include links. I see recalls for 07 4wd for this problem but not for the 2wd why it sounds like the same problem exactly, and feel this could be a big safety problem leading to an accident, fire or death. Https://www. Tundratalk. Net/threads/transmission-tailshaft-seal-leak. 105127/ https://www. Kbb. Com/toyota/tundra-double-cab/2007/recall/? Mileage=96000 https://www. Carcomplaints. Com/toyota/tundra/2007/drivetrain/power_train. Shtml there is some type of driveline or seal problem here and it is clear it's not just the 2007 4wd it also affects the 2007 2wd tundra trucks as well being the transition is a close system and the consumer can't ad transition fluid when it's low this problem is unacceptable not to mention the many safety issues this could cause the driver and others on the road or hwy. |
