| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 toyota tundra. At times, it doesn't shift up properly and the engine revs up very high, but the truck doesn't accelerate. At times, when i am coasting down a hill, it will shift down, causing the truck to slow down. I took it to the dealer and was told that the transmission is completely electronic and that happens sometimes. I feel that this is a factory defect. Last week, i was trying to make a left turn at an intersection. I pressed the pedal but the truck didn't accelerate. I could have been hit by an oncoming car. I've come to realize the this is a dangerous defect, as well. I hope eventually, they asses this problem and issue some kind of fix. *jb |
