2005 tundra crew sr5 4.7l. When i come to a stop - there is a heavy bump (like someone bumped the rear end). I have yet to take it to dealer - i have read other complaints to see if my issue was legitimate. It seems others have had this issue. I will followup my complaint after i visit dealer. *tr

Tundra 2005 sr5 double cab. Purchased on march 2005 and i noticed very early on sometimes a hesitation to accelerate from a stop or from low speeds specially when waiting to make a turn. When this happens i press the gas pedal but the truck does not move or moves very slowly and then a jump to start moving normally again. *tr

When coming to a stop there is a periodic, loud clunk that comes from the front of the vehicle. Dealership will not acknowledge even though technical service bulletin was issued to dealers.

At times, when i am coasting down a hill, it will shift down, causing the truck to slow down. I took it to the dealer and was told that the transmission is completely electronic and that happens sometimes. I feel that this is a factory defect. Last week, i was trying to make a left…
