I hate it, whenever it's cold outside someone cranks the heater up to 2394082349023 degrees inside this building. It should be the same damn temperature inside the building no matter how cold/hot it is outside

Angry consumers are peppering the Internet with complaints that the torque converter in the 2007 Tundra's six-speed transmission has problems disengaging during gearshifts — a problem that Toyota acknowledges.
The latest quality snarl involves a vibration coming from the transmission when changing gears under gentle acceleration or deceleration.
Toyota Motor Sales officials have nicknamed the problem "the rumble strip" because the slippage causes vibration similar to the sensation of driving over the wake-up strips at the side of highways.
The rumbling usually lasts several seconds. But the problem sometimes worsens to the point that some owners can't shift into certain gears.
The problem has been reported only in six-speed transmissions, which are linked to the popular 5.7-liter V-8 engine. Since the 2007 Tundra's February launch, the 5.7-liter engine has been installed in 70 percent of about 135,000 Tundras sold. That means the problem could affect nearly 100,000 vehicles.

sounds like toyota built a quality truck with this one. So basically when it's cam shaft isn't snapping in half, or it's tail gate isn't falling off. The car will just shake the **** out of you

the camshaft snappage problem with the tundra v8 has only happened to a miniscule number of tundras( under a hundred)...besides its toyota, they'll honor your warranty if you dont change the oil for 15 k miles
