2 Transmission Failure problem of the 2005 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 01/19/2015

The connector on the cable from the ecu to the transmission failed due to corrosion. This causes the truck to accelerate from a standing stop in a manner where the transmission slams in and out of gear. Thankfully this didn't occur when pulling out on a busy street. The situation is dangerous. The truck already had a frame recall due to corrosion. This issue is similar and represents a design flaw with dangerous consequences.

3 Transmission Failure problem of the 2005 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 01/02/2010

My Toyota Tundra 2005, v8, 4. 7l, 4x4(83,000 miles) lost its transmission power while driving on the highway and the check engine light came on. The transmission power came on and off all the way home. Lunging each time it dropped off and came on. I brought it to the dealer who told me I needed a new transmission at a cost of $4000. 00. It was displaying p0986 code. The next day brought it to a transmission shop. They found that the wire connector (15 pin) that goes from the transmission to the ecm was corroded and the pins were broken and not making contact. Its design is clearly defective. It is not protected and is located in a place where it is exposed to all the salt and water resulting in the pins being corroded. Information communicated from the computer to the transmission and back is interrupted or inaccurate. I found this information on a website at the same time the independent transmission shop discovered what the problem was. . Read more...

Premature transmission failure on my 2002 Toyota Tundra pickup truck. This vehicle had regular maintenance and currently has 67,000 miles on it. The transmission shop that I took it to says this premature failure is a common occurrence on 2000 to 2002 Tundras and requires complete rebuild of the transmission. I have never owned an american made vehicle that required any transmission work until well over 100,000 miles.
