| Unintended acceleration occurred when proceeding through and intersection at about 4:50 pm 01/04/2011. brakes were applied but the power of the toyota tunda sr5 v8 engine had enough power to accelerate unintended to approximitely 50 mph even tho the brakes were applied as had hard as it could be applied. the truck centered an oak tree in the blvd approximately 150-200 ft from the intersection. the truck was totaled by my insurance company. only the driver was in the truck and no other vehicles at the time of the incident. the driver suffered a broken left arm at the elbow which required surgery. | |||

| The engine shut off while i was driving on the road and making a left turn. i realized the engine shut off when i pressed down on the acclerator and nothing happened. the radio was still on the headlight and horn worked. i switched the battery out with a new one. the engine would still not start. i would turn the key and only the radio would turn on. no noise or response from the engine could be heard with old and new battery. vehicle was towed to toyota dealer, they replaced what they said was a blown out ignition fuse. as i drove out of the parking lot from the toyota dealer the engine shut off again exactly how it had occurred before. i was less than one block from the dealer when this happened. it is currently at the toyota dealer. | |||

| My 2005 toyota tundra suddenly lost power on the highway and started to buck. i was able to pull over but had to have the truck towed. the problem was a corroded 15 pin connector plugged into the driver side of the trans. i found that many other people are having this problem at around 80k miles. there is a nation wide back order on the part to fix part of this problem. | |||

| Sitting in traffic, the engine revved up by itself on my 2005 toyota tundra sr5 v8. problem was abated by turning engine off and restarting. this problem resulted in a mil error that side b of the engine was running lean. after completing an analysis of the problem, the findings are that the oxygen sensors are not responding to specification. it is my firm belief that the firmware on the ecm does not self check for runaway conditions. *tr | |||

| Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota tundra. the contact stated while driving at 25 mph the abs light would flash on the dash board indicating that the brakes need to be serviced. the contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic to have the brakes serviced and the local mechanic could not find a issue with the brakes. also the contact stated that the air flow button that controls the air inside the vehicle is malfunctioning. the contact feels this vehicle has a serious electrical issue and needs to looked at by the manufacturer. the failure mileage 6,000. | |||

| My toyota tundra 2005, v8, 4.7l, 4x4(83,000 miles) lost its transmission power while driving on the highway and the check engine light came on. the transmission power came on and off all the way home. lunging each time it dropped off and came on. i brought it to the dealer who told me i needed a new transmission at a cost of $4000.00. it was displaying p0986 code. the next day brought it to a transmission shop. they found that the wire connector (15 pin) that goes from the transmission to the ecm was corroded and the pins were broken and not making contact. its design is clearly defective. it is not protected and is located in a place where it is exposed to all the salt and water resulting in the pins being corroded. information communicated from the computer to the transmission and back is interrupted or inaccurate. i found this information on a website at the same time the independent transmission shop discovered what the problem was. the following site describes the problem very clearly with pictures and descriptions: http://www.techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/tundtran/ i contacted toyota. they gave me a run around with only frustration and stress. i see this problem occurring with all these trucks in any part of the country where it is wet. i feel toyota should pay for the fix and not me. it is a major problem and causes unexpected power lose or transmission failure when driving. please let me know asap if you want the old part after the new one is installed. it should happen in a few days. *tr | |||
