Consumer Description

TUNDRA HAD ELECTRICAL FAULT IN TRANSMISSION DUE TO WIRING HARNESS CORROSION. TUNDRA WILL DROP OUR OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND REENGAGE VIOLENTLY. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE AND I AM UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO NATIONAL BACKLOG ON NECESSARY PARTS. MY TUNDRA WAS PART OF THE RUST RECALL A COUPLE YEARS AGO WHICH WAS NEVER PROPERLY RECTIFIED AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR MOSTLY AT SPEEDS UP TO 45 MPH.
