Toyota Tundra slipping problems

Filed Oct 18, 2026 · Transmission · CA

Vehicle Information: 2025 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 1794 Edition 4x4 (i-FORCE MAX Hybrid) VIN: [XXX] Component: Power Train / Automatic Transmission / Hybrid Propulsion System Description of Defect: I have discovered an active fluid leak originating from the transmission/bell housing area on my vehicle. There are currently no dashboard warning lights illuminated, and the transmission is not yet slipping or shifting roughly. However, the vehicle is actively dripping fluid onto the ground and undercarriage components from the powertrain assembly. Safety Risk: A transmission fluid leak on a high-pressure 10-speed automatic transmission presents an immediate safety hazard. If the transmission fluid level drops too low while driving at highway speeds, it can cause sudden power loss, transmission lock-up, or catastrophic mechanical failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, transmission fluid leaking onto hot exhaust or hybrid electrical components poses a severe vehicle fire risk.

While driving, multiple warning lights come on and multiple warnings scroll on the dash. Transmission shifting becomes irregular, hard, slipping, pre-collision alert fails, adaptive cruise control fails, ABS system deactivates. I know of this occurring on multiple other Toyota vehicles as well. This has happened three times and only resolves when battery is disconnected. Weeks or months goes by and it recurs.

Transmission slipped and vehicle lose of power. Dashboard all warning lights began to flash. Pulled to side of road. Turned off vehicle attempted to reset. Managed to get vehicle to nearby parking lot and out of traffic. Complete loss of power to drive train. Cause was power steering unit sensor per toyota. Toyota covered part in attempt to prevent this complaint. From internet, "some 2007-2008 toyota tundra vehicles may experience power steering dtcs p0552 and/or p0553. The power steering sensor has since been changed to correct this condition. The old/previous power steering sensor is p/n 89448-34010. This has been replaced with sensor p/n 89448-34020. Using tis techstream, confirm the condition by checking for dtcs p0552 and/or p-553. Disconnect the pressure sensor connector and proceed with removing the power steering pressure switch, which is located at the power steering vane pump and is mounted to the high pressure feed line. Install the new power steering pressure sensor, tightening to 15.2 ft.-lbs. (20.6 nm). With the new sensor fully installed and connected, start the engine and check for leaks. Adjust power steering fluid level as needed."

My check engine light has come on. As well as the lights stating the vehicle stability control and traction control systems have been disabled. The transmission will not shift out of third gear and the vsc being off is causing an unsafe driving condition due to slipping tires around corners at normal speeds. Upon checking the engine code p2714 and p0751 I have come to find out there is an internal toyota technical service bulletin circulating their dealership service departments dating back to november 28, 2007 when this issue was first discovered. The bulletin is named tc017-07. Also upon further investigation I have found numerous posts about this code and the exact issues my vehicle suffers from on multiple toyota tundra message and internet chat groups. This is a very serious issue which could easily cause loss of life or property if these vehicles with this issue are suddenly prone to the vsc and transmission acting abnormally. This issue for me came up very suddenly with no prior warning as the dash lights came in while driving. I will be asking totota to fix this issue at their cost with the remedy they describe in their service bulletin. The remedy they recommend is to replace the transmission and reprogram the ECM.

Gear shift on steering wheel column became loose and it became very difficult to place truck into park. It started gradually until the play in the shifter was so bad that I could no longer put it into drive, reverse or neutral without the shifter handle hitting the windshield wiper handle and causing the windshield wipers to activate and squirt cleaner onto the windshield. I was concerned that it was going to slip out of gear or into gear causing injury or death, and it became increasingly hard to put the vehicle into park. I took it to toyota dealer and they replaced it. I have the part (a1 shaft sub-assembly / bd376 housing, steering column) and it is defective inferior metal part broken into two pieces.

I hear a strange, almost slipping sound sometimes when I take off, or turn a corner, almost like I'm not getting traction. It doesn't happen all the time and never when I take it in..is this normal or sometime I should worry about?

Bought a 2007 toyota tundra. Noticed around 23,450 miles that something was turning (spinning) and felt like it was coming through the driverside floor . Right underneath my feet. Brought it in toyota said they didn't find anything. Later heard noises on the left side of engine near left tire. Then shaking and vibrations followed. Around 60,000 miles transmission started slipping and clunking noises came from the engine. 65,000 miles started losing power. Fuel pump failure. Paid for a new fuel pump system $777.79. Turns out 2007 model has to replace whole system. No other tundra needs to. At 68,000 miles it got worse . Transmission diagnostic says transmission needs to be replaced. $4500. At 96,000 miles my truck in non operating. Toyota will not replace transmission. Even though a toyota operations manager states it is not normal for transmission to go out this soon at so little mileage. The average time is between 15-20 years with the high technology that cars are built with now a days. Is what he said to me. Older cars built years ago transmissions normally last around 5 years sometimes 10 if they were lucky. So supposedly our vehicles are built smarter now adays. I have so many problems I find that hard to believe.
