I own a 2002 Toyota Tundra and I have had approximately five occasions where I heard a clunk while driving the Toyota Tundra as if the transmission was slipping during the month of July 2010. On August 13, 2010, I was driving approximately 75 mph when I had driven the Tundra approximately 200 miles, I pulled off of the highway to refill with gasoline and as I slowed down to the pump, the Tundra began to excessively shake and stalled. I then started the vehicle up which started well and I cut it off to refill with gasoline. Once I began to take off, the Tundra began to shake again and stalled, not more than 1/10th of a mile from the pump. I started the vehicle again and when I put the Tundra in gear, the Tundra continuously stalled no matter whether in drive, neutral or reverse. Every time I started the vehicle and put it in a gear, it would stall. The vehicle was towed to my residence which was approximately 100 miles. My failure mileage was approximately 89,000 miles.
2002 Toyota Tundra 4x2 sr5 with under 18,000 miles, at 45 degree angle while in drive and no load, vehicle will roll backwards and will continue to roll until the brakes are applied. While rolling a loud constant clicking noise eminates from the rear end as if gears were slipping. Vehicle seldomly driven and almost never pulls any loads, never abused or wrecked and maintained regularly. This has occurred since the vehicle was purchased in may of 2002. Lakeside Toyota informed me today 9-20-04, this was normal for the truck and that they simulated it with another truck.
