| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 3/15/07 the automatic transmission shifter lever in my 2001 toyota tundra sr5 broke off as i shifted it from park to drive. the complete failure of my tundra's automatic transmission shifter lever appears to be the result of either a defective component or an assembly error since failures of this type are unheard of. notwithstanding the 101,904 miles on my tundra, component failures of this type should never happen during normal usage regardless of vehicle mileage. this is no different than expecting that the steering wheel should never break off. had this incident happened had i been downshifting on a steep incline, the results could have been deadly. i have since paid to have the automatic transmission shifter lever and shifter pivot for my tundra replaced by a toyota dealer. |
