One problem related to transmission gear slipping has been reported for the 2008 Toyota Tundra. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2008 Toyota Tundra based on all problems reported for the 2008 Tundra.
1. Turning right in 2008 Toyota Tundra out of parking lot at work or into traffic, I decelerate preparing to turn right and remove pressure from gas pedal and brake during the turn. When I reapply pressure to the gas pedal during the turn the truck does not accelerate only the engine accelerates. Adding additional pressure to the gas pedal only causes the engine to accelerate more. When the transmission engages the truck surges forward suddenly. 2. This slipping in the transmission happens every day. The consequence of driving this vehicle is when will the transmission slip and when will the transmission engage. 3. Have talked to the dealer (2) two times about this issue and the dealer tells me it is normal for this vehicle to react in this manner. The dealer says there is nothing they can do about this problem.
