 Description of the problemI bought this 2017 tundra dlb cab brand new and have had to shop several times about transmission down shifting and then up- shifting on slight inclines, not engaging when put in drive then slamming into gear . 1rst time they checked fluid and said all ok ,2nd time checked fluid again and was told transmission needs to be warmed up before driving , 3rd time they said they did a factory reset on transmission saying somehow out of sync / check fluid = this made it do it at different speed . Now if stopped on a slight incline while truck still in drive it rolls backwards while in gear until it catches and this causes engine stall !!! I called and asked toyota to start tech support , after receiving a call back i was told tech's wanted to know about incline and they wanted truck overnight . So , not only did i take pictures of the incline i also filmed truck rolling backwards in drive and stalling , i took back for 4th time showed and uploaded pictures and video to shop foreman's computer ( he and another mechanic looked shocked ) they kept overnight and next day . Then i was told they couldn't duplicate , they compared to same truck ( salesman told me they didnt have one ) and that truck did same thing ( trying to say it was ok because it did it too) and then being told at present time they cannot fix and or install new parts / transmission !!!!!! This problem is going to seriously hurt , injure or kill someone !! As i told them i have had three other toyota's , a chevy , ford and grand marquis and they don't do this . Toyota has a problem they seem to want to ignore !! Please help
