Other suspension problem on the 2007 Toyota Tundra
1 injury 1 of the 51 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other suspension problem gets reported
Owners of the 2007 Toyota Tundra report other suspension problem at a median of 1,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 100 miles and a quarter after 20,000 miles, from 44 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 100,000 miles. It is the 3rd most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 36 miles at the tenth percentile to 107,500 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 106,464 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
80% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36 miles | 100 miles | 967 miles | 19,525 miles | 106,500 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 1 an injury is mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $350–$2,000 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 15 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2008, at a median of 400 miles, and latest on the 2006 at 165,000 miles.
By volume the 2007 is the worst of them, which makes this a problem of this specific year rather than of the model as a whole.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
1.excessive cab shake, wobble and jerkiness whenever driving over concrete paved roads at variety of speeds. 2. Called dealer who suggested: tire pressure adjustment and adding 150 lbs of weight to truck bed. After implementing above, truck ride improved slightly but still unacceptable. *tr
Unresolved safety issues with 2007 toyota tundra: 1. Towing mirrors vibrate, previously reported toyota case # 200704230738. Mirrors are unusable above 40mph due to vibration. 2. Bed bounce is so severe on some roads, particularly I-10 between indio and los angeles, that it is impossible to carry on a normal conversation. Dealer response to both issues has been they all do this, so they cannot make a fix until toyota comes up with a solution. Internet reports prove that the dealer is correct: all tundras have these problems. Thus the problem is not with the dealer, but is indicative of first-year production problems. Hopefully toyota can resolve this to avoid invoking lemon law protection. *tr
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 *tr

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 51 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other suspension problem happen on the 2007 Toyota Tundra?
Across 44 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 1,000 miles. A quarter were filed before 100 miles and a quarter after 20,000 miles. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other suspension problem on the 2007 Toyota Tundra?
51 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.4 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
