| Description of the problem | There is an issue with the 2007 tundra suspension that causes a mechanical resonance on various concrete roads. This results in a "shaking", "bouncing", "wobbling" that is seemingly severe enough to cause injuries in young or elderly passengers at legal speed limits. Furthermore the wobbling could lead to accidents due to loss of control at higher speeds. I am certain that if this issue is not addressed, it will eventually lead to injury. The dealer has stated that this is "normal". However, using any good judgment at all, i would not consciously expose an infant passenger to this "normal" wobble. This occurs on roads that consist of concrete slabs. Southern california is an area with such highways. I have experienced this issue on i-5, i-405, i-110 to name a few. *jb |
