| I was the operator of the vehicle on my driveway when the engine suddenly accelerated. the accelerator was wide open while i was hard on the brakes. i was able to put the gear shift into park, and once i did the engine stopped its acceleration. i was on hard concrete, thus the rear wheels spun freely without catching traction. the vehicle left roughly 30 of front and rear wheel marks. the vehicle has run normally since the incident. *tr | |||

| Truck gets a bump after coming to a stop. sometimes it's gets a really hard bump and sometimes it's just a little bump. i kept thinking i got hit as it is very noticable. no one seems to know why, but i do know this, it only happens when the a/c is running. i believe it's a computer software problem. it took a couple of years because i found out it only happens when the weather gets warm and i use the a/c. seems like quite a few people are having the same problem and the dealer is saying i don't know anything because they can't duplicate the problem, however i seem to be able to duplicate it all the time. | |||

| I have a 2009 toyota tundra with the 5.7l engine and 6 speed auto transmission. intermittent shifting occurs as slow speeds, with the vehicle acting like the transmission is in neutral. this has caused serious concern when trying to accelerate and could lead to a potential accident. i have also had this occur on slick surfaces, with the engine reving up before the transmission engages. this has caused extreme tire slippage and risk of losing control. i have had this truck into the dealership three times and have had their quality team look at it, with no satisfactory resolution. other owners of tundras are also reporting this same phenomena, and concerns, with no resolution from toyota. we all need your help to get corrective action put in place. an accident is waiting to happen, if it already hasn't. | |||
