What does vibration feel like in Toyota Tundra?
The vibration feels very much like stomping on the brakes at a high speed with severely warped rotors. Well yesterday I had about enough of this crap and stop by the dealer again. One of the techs took a ride with me and as we were pulling out I was explaining what happens. He immediately said it sounds as though there’s a torque converter problem.
Why does my Toyota Tundra make cyclic noise?
Engineer shows up and verifies the cyclic noise and tells me it happens because of the design of the front differential and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Says changing to synthetic in the differential helps, but won’t stop it completely.
Why does my Toyota Tundra shake while driving?
It starts out faint and the longer you drive (doesn’t matter if on a curve or going straight after it has started) it gets progressively worse to the point that it is rather violent. I believe it to be related to the rear end in some way. Applying the E brake while it is happening results in a very violent shaking.
Is there a problem with my 2011 Tundra?
Vibration – May FINALLY be solved! So I’ve had this intermittent vibration/surging/bucking problem with my 2011 Tundra since it had around 20k miles on it. I reported it repeatedly to the dealer and each time they said they couldn’t duplicate the problem.
When did I get new tires on my Toyota Tundra?
Yes, with the new tires about 4 months ago. Keep in mind this has been going on since the truck had around 20k on it and reported to the dealer several times. I’m near 98k now so have been fighting this issue for quite some time so it’s had new tires twice since new with balance and rotation every 5k.
Is there a problem with my Toyota Tundra?
Look up TSB TC018-07. Probably has not been resolved and Toyota gave up since they can’t figure out what’s going on. They are unwilling to throw parts at it unless they can verify that parts are bad at at this point won’t mess with it until I change the front struts (the left front has a very minimal leak).
Why does my Toyota Tundra shudder when I brake?
If it was the torque converter it would go away when you step on the brakes as the ECM takes it out of lock up when it sees a brake pedal input. The shudder would go away well before a full stop. Also the shudder that is common on Toyotas is because of the flex lock up duty cycle control where it’s never in full lock up only about 70 percent or so.
Why does my car have so much vibration?
I have seen some serious vibration issues where a slight bump in the road will cause the fix a flat to gather in one spot and cause an imbalance but at a full stop it will spread out again. Another thing could be a caliper dragging and over heating a rotor causing a pulsation even if your foot is off the brake.
