| Description of the problem | Toyota corporation refers to this issue as "bed bounce". The complaint is that at speed of 50-65 & 70 mph, the 2007 tundra pick-up vibrates and bounces to the point of uncomfortable and what i feel is unsafe. It is as if all4-wheels are out of balance. Now toyota corporation is admitting to me that thay are aware of this issue and are trying to come up with a fix, however its been 6 months and stiill no fix from toyota corporation. I have had the vehicle to them ( the dealer repair shops) two times to two different dealers and have an appoinment with toyota corporate engineers on november 1st 2007. I am also seeking legal counsel, however i do not know if this a individual lemon law issue or a class action problem, and i really do not care i just want toyota to give me my money back due to the fact it is a design issue and it will take a re-engineering of suspension to repair, and that is big deal that takes a long time to fix. Can you help me ? Fred curcio |
