| Description of the problem | I just purchased an 07 toyota tundra limited 2wd pickup truck. While driving on any cement freeway (especially those in southern california (101 ventura)), i experienced a "bed bounce" that was so severe, i almost lost control of the vehicle. This loss of control occurred at speeds ranging from 60mph to 75mph. I contacted toyota regarding this problem and they confirmed it is a problem with the tundra trucks but are not working on any fixes. This answer is unacceptable. I am unable to drive this vehicle on "cement" freeways because of the lack of control. Toyota is unwilling to do anything about it.... I have no other option but to file this complaint with you. |
