Problem Reports

same as described

 Rookie

the exhaust has ticked and sounded like a leak for the last 50000 miles. A mechanic has told me there is no effect on mileage but I am concerned. I get on average 15 mpg in town and 19 on the highway.

same as described

Replaced manfold - did not solve the problem

Crap Manifolds! MAKE A RECALL TOYOTA!

Driver side exhaust manifold had a hair line crack in it.I removed the manifold and welded up the crack myself.I did the whole job in two hours.

we bought truck new in 2000. it started ticking around 28000. we told dealership and they stated all of the trucks do it. then our warranty ran out and truck has 160,000 miles on it ticking loudly down the road. worse when cold, worse when towing, but does it always.

ticking from left exhaust manifold failure

sounds like a old truck clicking clacking when you step on the gas its gets louder . driver side front wheel well smell of exhaust fumes . Was informed by Meineke it was an exhaust manifold gasket and would cost 549.16

Same problem, just living with it. 115,000 on it now.

2007 Toyota tundra 5.7 V8 just had the same problem with a repair bill of $1,345.00 This should be covered by Toyota, faulty castings are the problem here guys how do we get Toyotas attantion??

Same as other 2008 Tundras. Loud exhaust sounding leak from left manifold when engine is under load. One dealer quoted $1600 for repair while another one pretended not to hear it. Hard to miss!

Ticking noise under acceleration. Just started two weeks ago... went to dealership and was told it was normal now that truck "just got broke in good" and was cylinder firing reverberating back through intake manifold when a flap was open!!! Technician said he has same 5.7 engine and his sounds like a diesel when first cranked up! Sounds like a crock of S**T!! I had to deal with the very expensive secondary air injector pump problem until Toyota stepped up to the plate and covered it under warranty after people like us wrote enough times and complained!!! This is my first and LAST Toyota!!!!

Like the person in report # 26. Truck was fine until I got my timing belt replaced and waterpump. Now truck ticks when accelerating. Same as above you here the tick when the truck is cold and then when it warms up the tick is not so bad.

exhaust leaking where air injection pump flange bolts to header flange, on driver's side. Just had the air injection pumps replaced a couple of weeks ago, since then exhaust leak began and has became increasingly worse. Called the dealership and they said bring it in, he did say if it was from the AIP install they would take care of it. Some how I think they will find that it wasn't from the install and try to charge me an obscene amount to repair/replace the header......I will be sure to bring to their attention that this is a common occurrence on these makes & models of vehicles. From unfortunate past experiences I've found that under certain circumstances the dealership will "goodwill" a know defective part if you really push the issue hard with them. I sincerely hope that Toyota acknowledges this issue for us as paying customers and takes care of the problem. I will pass this on to anyone who cares - you can purchase aftermarket headers from auto performance retailers cheaper than buying the factory headers from Toyota. So, if Toyota will not take care of it for you "which seems to be the consciences" I'd personally buy the cheaper and better aftermarket set from a reptuale auto parts store and just be done with it.
