Description of the problem	Bought a new 2008 toyota tundra double cab 5. 7 liter v-8 4x4 had 52 miles on it aug 8, 2008. During the drive home from the dealership the transmission exhibited the rumble strip vibration under light engine load as described in the quote from automotive news october 22, 2007 - 12:01 am et i found on the world wide web. See quote below. Motor trend also mentions it in an online review. I expect the dealer will fix this issue but other online blogs suggest the issue can become severe enough to prevent shifting into or out of gear. If the reports are correct this becomes a safety issue possibly stranding driver and occupants in a dangerous setting with a vehicle that won't move. Toyota should address this and current owners should be notified of the possible safety concern. A google search of tundra rumble strip vibration will yield information on the issue. Los angeles toyota motor sales officials have nicknamed the problem "the rumble strip" because the slippage causes vibration similar to the sensation of driving over the wake-up strips at the side of highways. The rumbling usually lasts several seconds. But the problem sometimes worsens to the point that some owners can't shift into certain gears. The problem has been reported only in six-speed transmissions, which are linked to the popular 5. 7-liter v-8 engine. Since the 2007 tundra's february launch, the 5. 7-liter engine has been installed in 70 percent of about 135,000 tundras sold. That means the problem could affect nearly 100,000 vehicles.
