#1897 of 1957 owner since 2003-recent experience by m6user Aug 29, 2007 (9:53 am)
I have a 2003 Tundrs SR5 EXCab, auto, sportside, 2 wheel drive, TRD sprorts package. Recently a one time passenger asked me how I liked it and I told they I never had any trouble and it was great. We parked at a store, came out and took off. Guess what? Tranny wouldn't shift from 1st to second without running up to about 5000 rpms and jerking the foot off the gas it would shift to second. After an afternoon and evening of that, off to the dealer it went. Long story short and a week later, just picked up the truck with a remanufactured tranny. Bad news is it only had 43,000 miles and I drive it pretty easy. Good news is it was replaced under powertrain warranty. Never in life had a tranny go out anywher near that mileage. Hopefully, it was an anomoly. Replies to this message: 12ozcurls (Aug 29, 2007 3:48 pm) m6user (Aug 30, 2007 6:07 am) 12ozcurls (Aug 30, 2007 12:35 pm)

Replying to: m6user (Aug 29, 2007 9:53 am) not an anomaly, a somewhat common thing with that model tundra...   http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/toyota_tundra_misc.html Replies to this message: m6user (Aug 30, 2007 6:07 am) 12ozcurls (Aug 30, 2007 12:35 pm)

Replying to: 12ozcurls (Aug 29, 2007 3:48 pm) I appreciate you providing the link but in it I could find only one consumer complaint about transmission shifting and it was not the same problem. I searched Edmonds forums for similar tranny problems and didn't see much about this either. So I guess I have to question that it is a "common thing". I know 4 other people that have 2002-2004 Tundras and none have had a tranny problem and they all have a lot more miles on their vehicle than I do. In four years this is the only issue I have had with the truck and the first time I recieved warranty work. The dealer supplied me with a new Camry SE to drive for a week and in general was very responsive. I just bought a Mazda6 the other night so I am not a shill for Toyota but I feel I have good luck with the Tundra and with the dealer. Thanks.

Replying to: m6user (Aug 30, 2007 6:07 am) yeah my bad, probably shouldn't have said common, others have reported problems with their Tundra trans with relatively low milage was hoping the link would help you out some..

Replying to: blackmbj (Aug 25, 2007 5:33 am) Highway veries between 23-26? yeah right, dream-on buddy. Unless you are going down hill both ways, or you have tail wind in both directions. TundraSolutions is such a BS site. Why would anyone in his right mind pays to be a member. Such BS.

Replying to: leo76dragon (Sep 09, 2007 5:44 pm) Not the same animal. One has coil springs one has leafs. One can be used to haul manure, the other, can but I wouldn't recommend it.
