Cruise Control Problems of Toyota Tundra - part 2

2005 Toyota v8 Tundra. Bought new in 2005. When going up hill/incline with cruise control engaged, vehicle dangerously accelerates causing the tires to loose traction on wet or loose surfaces. I noticed this problem shortly after I purchased it. I no longer use the cruise control feature on my Tundra. I previously owned a 2000 Tundra and the same thing occurred with the cruise control on that vehicle. Seems to be a major/dangerous problem with the Tundra.

2006 Tundra 4 door overspeed when driving in cruise control. When driving at highway speed with cruise control on and approaching a slight incline, the vehicle will drop into passing gear and the throttle will go to full throttle. This will cause the operator to lose control of the vehicle, especially on a rain slick road. This has happened many times, and although I am aware that it could happen, it still startles me when it occurs. If close behind another vehicle, this could lead to an rear end accident. The normal progression should be dropping out of overdrive, with a gradual acceleration to maintain set speed, and then back to overdrive when set speed is obtained. Dealer called Toyota and they claimed this is normal operation. Documented with Toyota dealer, and now with NHTSA. When accident occurs as a result of this overspeed, hopefully Toyota will reset the computer control module to fix problem.

We own "two" 2005 Toyota Tundra double cabs that are equipped the same. Both of these vehicles exhibit the same saftey issue. The issue: when driving with cruise control "on" at speeds of 70 mph, on slightly uphill track, the cruise control will command the vehicle to maximum throttle, shifing the transmission into passing gear. This action on the 287 horsepower vehicle, causes the rear tires to break loose on wet roads and can cause loss of control of the vehicle, sending it off the road or into a spin. Both vehicles we own exhibit this behavior and it has been reported to Toyota case # 200510040775.

While driving 70 mph, the transmission stalled. The vehicle was towed. Dealership repaired the problem. The driver heard and felt a loud bump in the rear of the vehicle. The engine continued to run but the vehicle would not move when the consumer applied the gas pedal. There was rear end grease leaking from the right side rear showing on the wheel and tire. The mechanic stated that there was no connection between the rear brake, rear end leaking grease, the drive shaft and the failure of the transmission. The brakes were a major problem, the cruise control never kept speed or smooth, the left lower front ball joint had a catastrophic failure that caused the entire wheel, brake line and all essential components on the left side of the vehicle to come loose. The consumer requested reimbursement. The brakes were a problem on the vehicle, and the drums were replaced.

Ltr from (TX) reporting problems with his 2006 Tundra motor vehicle. The cruise control has a problem down shifting 2 gears on minor grade for no reason, which caused the engine to rev to over 4000 rpms. The vehicle would not shift into overdrive while driving on the freeway. The brake will fade while sitting at a traffic light. The stopping distance on the vehicle was much longer than any other vehicle the consumer had driven. The vehicle was getting very poor gas mileage. There was an odor from the air condition. The tire sensor light illuminated, but it was resolved.
