- 07 Tundra Crewmax Limited
I am interested in the 2013 X Sport, so I went and test drove one today. Upon relatively hard acceleration I felt a very significant "pull" to the left and REALLY caught me off guard. I thought maybe it was the rode or some other anomaly, but, I did comment to the sales guy/fleet manager about it, and he actually felt it too. I then tried to duplicate it a few times, and sure enough, I could duplicate it, maybe every other time (odd I couldn't duplicate it every time). I literally took my hands off the wheel and accelerated very hard, to confirm that it wasn't just me. Now, this was not just a slight "pull", this was a very dangerous "pull".
Upon returning to the dealer, the fleet manager said he would talk to his techs to see if they have "heard" of anything like this.
Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I was really set on getting rid of my Tundra Crewmax limited for an Explorer Sport, but now I'm not so sure. I'm seeing the "smell upon acceleration" threads (which I did not notice on my test drive), the "power steering" issue, and now this.
I tried a search regarding my issue and did not have any success.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
