    I've got a 07 Tundra Crewmax Limited. Bought it with 139,000 on it in 22. Had for 1.5 years. Got a check engine light ended up being the charcoal canister. Then multiple lights flashing was identified as a shift solenoid C. Replaced it. Then all hell broke loose. Truck shifted hard when taking off . Jumped out of gear when traveling on the highway . Cranked it one day and it immediately cut off but fired back up. My Radio died and the power mirrors stopped adjusting but they will still fold inward. Mechanic had it for 4 weeks no luck yet. Took it to Toyota they say I need a new trans...BS The truck shifted perfect even with the solenoid code. Now all these problems besides the charcoal canister happened in the same week. HELP I NEED MY TRUCK

    Something makes me think you bought a truck that has been in a flood. Not sure what all could be wrong with it. Kinda hate to say brain, then you put one in and it quickly gets cooked too. Can't really go off where it was registered because people travel around. Even worse, many are greedy and will sell a nightmare on wheels. Hopefully I'm wrong and someone else has a better answer. Good luck!

    How old is the battery? Weak batteries can make these trucks behave a little bit funny.

    You may want to start looking for damaged wiring along the bottom side of your truck and in the engine bay. Check your grounds, check the tightness on the battery terminals. If they're sorta on there, they will cause some weird issues. Check the level of fluid in your truck. There is youtube, or search on here to see how to do it....You may be low and causing issues with the transmission. Worst case scenario, drop your pan one more time and ensure wiring wasn't mismatched. Battery dying also does weird things with these trucks, may cause all kinds of issues.
