| Description of the problem | We own "two" 2005 toyota tundra double cabs that are equipped the same. Both of these vehicles exhibit the same saftey issue. The issue: when driving with cruise control "on" at speeds of 70 mph, on slightly uphill track, the cruise control will command the vehicle to maximum throttle, shifing the transmission into passing gear. This action on the 287 horsepower vehicle, causes the rear tires to break loose on wet roads and can cause loss of control of the vehicle, sending it off the road or into a spin. Both vehicles we own exhibit this behavior and it has been reported to toyota case # 200510040775. *nm |
