| Driving on the highway at normal speed of 65 mph; suddenly i noticed an increase in rpm's and a pull of the truck, kind of pulling back and forth. i then noticed the o/d light on, i wiggled the transmission shifter while driving and the o/d light went away; the truck rpm's returned to normal for the speed i was driving. since then, it has happened every day at any given time; what i am doing is the same or just pressing the push button until the light goes away. i tried taking my truck to my local dealer where i bought my truck and they told me there was a charge for inspection plus repairs. i have seen many other online posts where tundra owners have the same problem, i believe this is a safety problem since the truck may pull or hesitate at any given time and the possibility of losing control and causing serious injury exists. i would like to direct this issue to toyota and have them fix this issue as soon as possible. | |||

| Ltr from (tx) reporting problems with his 2006 tundra motor vehicle. *ts the cruise control has a problem down shifting 2 gears on minor grade for no reason, which caused the engine to rev to over 4000 rpms. the vehicle would not shift into overdrive while driving on the freeway. the brake will fade while sitting at a traffic light. the stopping distance on the vehicle was much longer than any other vehicle the consumer had driven. the vehicle was getting very poor gas mileage. there was an odor from the air condition. the tire sensor light illuminated, but it was resolved. | |||

| Toyota tundra 2006 double cab 4wd automatic transmission. i was 4 wheeling and stopped behind a polaris, by approximately 5 feet. i was in drive and 4wd and brakes applied. i stopped because the polaris had stopped. all of a sudden with the brakes applied my tundra lunged forward at a very high rpm crashing into the polaris. at that point i put the transmission into park and shut the engine off. had i not responded with the action i took i would have shoved the polaris with 2 people into a very deep wash. needless to say there is a great deal of damage done to my toyota. the toyota has major damage to the front end. had i not taken the action that i did, we all would have ended up in the deep wash with major injuries. when i arrived home i immediately called tim's toyota in prescott arizona where the vehicle was purchased. the 2 people that could help me with the situation were not available so a call to them tomorrow will be in order. i have not contacted my insurance as yet as i feel that toyota is the responsible party for the accident. i had written to you quite a long time ago regarding the cruise control surging to 5000 rpm's when approaching even a minor incline. so i don't use it anymore. i am afraid to drive my truck into my garage for fear that the truck will lunge forward, only this time it will crash into my hvac and water heater, both are on propane. *tr | |||

| I was driving north out of phoenix arizona on i-17 just past black canyon city, with my cruise control set at 75 mph. there is a very long hill going north to sunset point. prior to approaching the hill i canceled the cruise so that the transmission wouldn't hunt gears. i drove up the hill at 65 to 75 mph (no cruise). when i made the top of the hill at sunset point and leveled out, i accelerated the vehicle to 75 mph and hit resume. the engine raced to 5200 rpm. i redline at 5700 rpm. the transmission did not follow suite. it was as if i was in neutral revving the engine. i immediately canceled the cruise and drove a mile or so without cruise, then decided to try it again. everything worked normal. i have been in contact with my dealers service dept. and they are baffled. they have not looked at it as yet due to their schedule. as soon as they can get me in they will. they did say that there should have been a check engine light, but there was not. they are hoping that the onboard computer recorded it. not only is this a major safety hazard, but it could have caused my engine to blow up. i'm not sure what reaction my wife would have had. she drives all the vehicles we have and they both have cruise, yet she is not that familiar wit rpm's and redlines and the issue that follow. when i have allowed the cruise to pull me up an incline it usually drops 1 or two gears and the rpm's are around 3000 to 3200. this i consider normal. i had a 1999 toyota tacoma with a six cylinder engine and cruise, so i am very familiar with the system. i purchased the vehicle from tim's toyota in prescott, i also brought to their attention a noise that i heard in the right front suspension and they are going to take care of it under a new recall that has not even been sent to customers, nor was the service dept aware of it. *jb | |||

| This filing is in reference to my 2006 toyota tundra sr5 v8 4.7 ltr 10,000 miles. for the past few weeks of driving the above referenced vehicle i started to notice a knocking metal sound under the center console when accelerating and braking... i took no immediate action as i found it to be a very light sound. after a few more days of driving the knock became more noticeable i was more alarmed, when i got home i got under my truck with a flashlight and started to take a look around, after careful inspection i found that 3 of 4 12mm hex bolts on the automatic transmission mount/ crossmember were missing further more the case was that the rear transmission mount located near the driveshaft were loose enough that could be moved with minimal strength with my hand i was able to recover 1 bolt that fell into the crossmember along with a plastic retainer. i quickly tightened the loose bolts and realigned the mount took the truck out for a quick test drive and the sound stopped totally, the next morning i contacted my local toyota dealer and purchased 2 new hex bolts that came out to $ 3.40. after this u can say that all is now well, i believe this should be looked into as there maybe other similar units out there with the same issue, this could cause major damage to the vehicle and also possible inflict an accident. *nm | |||

| Defective 4 wheel drive from factory. two days after purchase i had the opportunity to use the 4 wheel drive. i attempted to engage the 4 wheel drive and it was not operating. i took the vehicle back to the dealer and it was repaired after 6 days in the service department. i was told the 4 wheel drive engaging unit was installed improperly at the factory causing it to fail which also caused the electronic control unit to fail. both units were replaced. i asked the dealer why the 4 wheel drive unit was not tested before leaving the factory or dealer and was told that this system is not tested at the factory or during dealer preparation. *jb | |||
