Description of the problem | 2002 tundra 6 cylinder automatic transmission with 84,900 miles on it had total failure on i-10 while going 70mph. The engine continued to work but pushing the gas peddle did nothing. We safely pulled over, but the truck would not go forward or in reverse. I had complained to 2 different dealers of a bumping feeling and other abnormalities for several months, but neither dealer could detect a problem. I have maintained this truck as directed by the manufacturer and it is otherwise in excellent condition. I have only towed a trailer once with the trailer and cargo weighing less than 2000 lbs. However, the problems i complained of to the dealer occurred before i towed the trailer. Fortunately, i had the toyota extracare extended warranty (7 years or 100,000 miles) which covered the cost of replacing the transmission with a reconditioned transmission. |
