Description of the problem	I encountered the same transmission failure that's similar to other nhtsa odi reports. The problem - which i understand is fairly common with this 2002 toyota tundra - started with rough shifting and clunking noises in the power train at around 60,000 miles. The odd sounds started intermittently at highway speeds and then became more frequent and then finally resulted in failure at around 111,000. The transmission quit at a highway intersection stop 140 miles from home in january, 2010. It would not go into proper gear after stopping on the highway. The vehicle was towed to the nearest toyota dealer in victoria, texas on saturday evening for repair work that was eventually done four days later at a total out-of-pocket cost of nearly $4,000 (parts, labor, rental car, towing; does not include missed work)... This vehicle has been maintained properly by my toyota dealer. So the transmission should not have failed so soon, as my other trucks (ford, dodge, and even nissan) never required transmission replacements, leaving me stranded in harm's way along a rural highway. So my next pickup truck will most likely not be a toyota.
