Toyota Tundra 2008 transmission noise by tymtotrn

I am not pleased with what seems to be ocassional transmission clunking type noises in my 08. It seems like there is slippage inside the transmission, because sometimes the truck shifts very awkwardly. Toyota in El Paso TEXAS says nothing is wrong, as they drove it and found nothing(of course).. Dont know what to do. Any comments welcome.................

maybe this is intimidation from the dealer to you, and they are waiting to see if you take it to another level in terms of seeking just compensation, fixing the defective (plastic??)

I own a 2008 Tundra 5.7 4WD double cab.
 
I notice that sometimes I can't get it to accelerate. It either feels 'stuck' or it herky jerks forward.
 
Another time, it popped out of D into N after some slippage on the ice.
 
This is happening when I am messing with the 4hi-4lo stuff.
 
Please advise if I am doing it right:
 
My understanding is to go slowly ahead and turn to 4hi, but then to get to 4lo, I need to stop and put it on neutral.
 
It also needs to be in 4hi first, before you can take it to 4lo which was not the case with my 2000.
 
But this transmission thing is so weird.
 
I have not gone back yet for the 5,000 service, only have less than 3,000 on it and have a 7 year paid warranty.
 
PS - I need to keep it in 4hi at times just to get up and down my driveway... which never melts even if the street is dry. But I don't ever drive with it in 4W unless the roads are snowy.

Did you get a fix for this? My 07 has now twice started to shimmy violently on the freeway at 70 mph. The incidents happend about a week apart with no warning. It is so intermittent that I doubt the service department could help...
 
Anyone else have this problem?

what is progress of toyota fixing the problem with your truck?
it is within warranty? did you purchase with EL PASO, maybe you can list
name of dealership so that others can be forewarned if they are not seeking
corrective action. What do you Tow with your Truck
 
have you had third party transmission shop examine the situation?
 
what truck do you have? how many miles? I am considering purchasing
toyota and would like to know more about this to make educated decision.
 
whether or not to go ahead and complete sale. What other trucks would
you purchase if you had other choices? what do you see EL PASO doing
to make good on warranty?

what is happening with your 2007 Tundra, has dealership fixed this problem,
provided plan A or plan B for resolution, what do you tow, how many miles what load? is yours 5.7L or smaller V8 4x4 or any other characteristics for identification,
 
I am looking at purchasing Tundra and would like to know all the things to stay away from in the event there is problem, before purchase.
 
what other trucks would suggest besides Toyota? If you were to purchase one today.
 
Who is your dealership and what are they doing about fixing this problem with Tundra?
