The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine waning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed of secondary error in the injection system caused by water intrusion. The contact was also informed that there was a recall on the vehicle however, the vehicle had exceeded the mileage limitation. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 219,000.

1. The secondary air injection valve and/or air injection pump. 2. Sometimes the vehicle will go into "limp" mode and only go 35 mph. If the switch valve is stuck "closed" like mine, the car may not be able to dilute the exhaust fumes and the fumes and travel into the cabin of the vehicle. 3. Yes, check engine light code was read as P2441. 4. No, the vehicle can not be driven at this time. 5. No, and around July 24th the check engine light came on. The symptoms continued to get worse. In short, Toyota has issued extended warranties and reimbursements for this design flaw for Tunda's 2007-2010. The design flaw being the air pumps allow water and debris to be sent into the air injection valves. My truck being a 2011 was never alerted to this issue or covered due to the year of my vehicle. The issue is my truck is the SAME generation truck as the 2007-2010 trucks. Which means I too have the design flaw as well but Toyota is refusing to fix their mistakes. After further inspection of my truck, see attached pictures, there is obvious water in the valve system and it has been rusted as well (unable to clean it). My issue is Toyota only covering half of the generational years for a design flaw that is also in the other half. These repairs can range from $2k-$4k and it seems as Toyota only made the extension to the most relevant truck years at the time and left everyone else behind. It is very distributing that a large manufacturer would cut corners like this, for a flaw that was their design.

Well known issue with V8 Air intake pump and assembly causes truck to go into limp mode. Very dangerous in Atlanta traffic. Toyota enhanced warranty but did not recall. My repair was $3000 as I was 3 weeks out of warranty.

I took my truck to the dealership of Toyota in Riverside, CA and the staff there told me there was no recall for my vehicle. Can you please verify if my vehicle is under warranty? I also went to the smog inspection and told them about my situation and they said my vehicle may not be under recall since sometimes certain vehicles under the same year are grouped together with a specific recall.

Jun 19, 2025

Engine light, 4Lo light, and ASC light on with code P2442. Vehicle in limp mode.

Nov 07, 2022

I have reached out to Toyota multiple times this month. I have severe rust developing und the bed of my truck where the bed bolts fasten the bed to the frame. After some research I have found where other tundra owners with the same year have similar issues. My fear is over time the bed is going to be unsecured from the chassis. Rust is bubbling the line-x up. I have never seen anything like this before. Toyota refuses to accept responsibility that they have a parts/material/metal issue for this year truck.

Jul 06, 2022

Vehicle Frame rusting extensively. Vehicle could possibly fall apart. Local gas station diagnosed it per inspection.

AT ABOUT 2,000 MILES AGO THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHAKING AND RUMBLING MAINLY WHEN IT WAS IN 5TH GEAR. THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD AND WILL NEED REPLACED FOR $3,000. THE TRUCK ONLY HAVE 90K ON IT, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. AT JUST OVER 90K ON THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT ALREADY BE GOING OUT. *TR

I PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO CLOSE A GATE ON MY FARM PROPERTY. WHEN I REALIZED THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS, I TRIED TO GET BACK IN TO STOP IT. THE DOOR KNOCKED ME DOWN AND PICK UP ALMOST RAN OVER ME. I DID A BACKWARDS SUMMERSALT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ROLLING PICKUP. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET UP AND GET TO PICK UP, IT HAD SLOWED DUE TO THE JACK KNIFING OF THE BALE BUGGY I WAS TOWING. PLASTIC AND RUBBER IN THE SHIFTER HAD TO BE PUSHED BACK INSIDE SHIFTER CASE BEFORE I COULD PUT BACK IN PARK POSITION. LATER THAT SAME DAY, I PUT IN PARK IN PARKING LOT AND IT JUMPED INTO REVERSE AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS STILL IN VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE SHIFTER CONSOLE BUT ACTUAL PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. TWICE I WAS OUT OF VEHICLE. TWICE I WAS STILL IN DRIVERS SEAT. ONLY ONE TIME DID THIS PROBLEM RESULT IN INJURY.

Jan 09, 2020

Crash: 1

Injuries: 1

I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK (FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND SHAFT) WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING STILL ON COLD AND AT A SPEED LOWER THAN 50MPH. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT COULD LEAD ME TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT INTO THE CITY. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAIN WITH ABSOLUTELY NEW TUNDRAS. I WONDER IF IT IS ABOUT TIME FOR TOYOTA TUNDRA PUT HANDS ON IT AND FIX THIS OLD PROBLEM.

Paint prematurely chipping in areas that’s would and would not be affected by wind down to bare metal.

Oct 04, 2024

Extensive rust and rot of entire frame, and undercarriage. The truck bed unsafe to walk on has several soft spots almost broken through, gas tank holder rusted out- worry about gas tank dropping from frame, tow hitch and rear bumper rot etc. Side step fell off. Toyota has a Service Campaign and Warranty Enhancement Program for Tundra but not this year- built 9/2010 San Antonio but listed as 2011 model on VIN. I am original registered owner and have never been contacted about this factory failure use of inferior untreated frame materials but learned about it from internet research. Would like my vehicle covered under current Service Campaign.

Jul 24, 2024

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that upon loading the bed of the truck, a worker stepped on the bed and his foot went through the bed. There was no injury sustained. The contact then noticed that there were four 3-inch holes located near the bed bolts of the vehicle due to corrosion. Additionally, the contact stated that the frame was corroded. The contact related the failure to TSB Number: [XXX]. The contact stated that he was an independent mechanic and had determined that the failure occurred because there was no underbody coating on the vehicle, which caused water to be trapped on the underbody. The local dealer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. Another dealer, Oakbrook Toyota (550 E Ogden Ave, Westmont, IL 60559), was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

MOST DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. IT'S GETTING WORSE. I FEAR I WILL BE LOCKED IN OR OUT VERY SOON IF NOT FIXED. IF I HAD TO GET IN THE TRUCK QUICKLY FOR SAFETY, I COULDN'T. USUALLY 2 OF THE 4 WILL NOT WORK - BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH ONES. HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK/LOCK OTHER DOORS FROM INSIDE.

I WAS HEADED TO SPRINGFIELD ON I-95 AND A CAR WAS COMING INTO MY LANE AND I TRIED TO BLOW THE HORN AND THERE WAS NOTHING. I ENDED UP SWERVING INTO THE LEFT LANE WITH TRAFFIC COMING. IT'S HAPPEN A FEW TIMES. I CHECKED MY FUSE AND IT WAS FINE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING. IT WAS A CLOSE CALL FOR A PILE UP SITUATION LET ME TELL YOU. $365.33 TO HAVE THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING REPLACED. THAT SHOULD OF NEVER HAPPEN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMPS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE SHUTDOWN AND REDUCED SPEED DRAMATICALLY WHILE IN OPERATION. I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER.

Mar 27, 2019

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I ASK WAS IT A RECALL ON THE AIR INJECTION AND SECONDARY AIR PUMPS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MAINTENCE PERSON SAID IT SHOULD HAVE SHOWED UP ON HIS COMPUTER AT THE SHOP. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AIR SWITCHING VALVES.

Jan 14, 2019

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ACS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE TRUCK WENT INTO A "LIMP" MODE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BOB TYLER TOYOTA IN PENSACOLA FLORIDA. THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE AIR INJECTION PUMP IN THE EMISSION'S SYSTEM. THEY STATED THAT THE PUMP HAD WATER IN IT. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS STATING IT WAS A KNOWN TOYOTA PROBLEM FOR MY VEHICLE. THE WARRANTY COMPANY SENT ME A TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN (T-SB-0160-11). THE BULLETIN CLEARLY STATES THAT IN SOME 2007 - 2011 MODEL YEAR TUNDRA VEHICLES THAT WATER INTRUSION INTO THE AIR INJECTION PUMP ASSEMBLY OCCURS. THE CURRENT RECALL NOTICE IS FOR 2007-2010 TUNDRAS. THAT RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER 2011 TUNDRAS SINCE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. ATTACHED IS THE TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN AND BOB TYLER'S SERVICE / REPAIR ORDER.

FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEM I PURCHASED MY 2011 TUNDRA QUARTER END 2013. IT HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES AND IS WELL MAINTAINED BY THE DEALER. LATE AUGUST 2016 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THIS CHECKED. I LEARNED THAT I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $3,360.00. AS A LONG TIME OWNER OR DRIVER OF TOYOTA VEHICLES OF 35 YEARS, I WAS SHOCKED IN THAT I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH ISSUES. I PURCHASE TOYOTA BECAUSE I TRUST THE QUALITY, RELIABILITY AND DESIGN. I UNDERSTAND THAT TOYOTA HAS RECALLED AND IS COVERING THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT FOR VEHICLES 2007-2010. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE 2011 MODELS AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND THE COVERAGE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THIS YEAR AS WELL. THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WAS NOT IN PLACE WHEN MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. THIS DEFECT CREATES UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR THE DRIVER TO NAVIGATE BUSY HIGHWAYS OR COUNTRY ROADS. I HAVE THIS TRUCK FOR HAULING ON OCCASION AND I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I DID NOT HAVE LIVESTOCK IN TOW. THE DEALER REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE THAT THE TOTAL COST SHOULD BE COVERED IN THAT IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT/ISSUE THAT STILL WAS NOT CORRECTED WHEN MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. MOST OWNERS MAY NOT TAKE THE TIME TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT. I WONDER HOW MANY OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NOT PROVIDED TECHNICAL INFORMATION HERE IN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND I EXPERIENCED ALL THE EFFECTS OF THE DEFECT WHILE DRIVING.

Feb 13, 2017

FUEL TANK FUEL SENDING UNIT BAD. I WAS PULLING OUT IT TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DIED. SOME PEOPLE STOPPED TO HELP ME PUSH IT OVER TO THE CURB. HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THEY REPORTED BACK THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF GAS AND THAT THE FUEL TANK FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WAS BAD. THE REPAIR IS $600+. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 65,000 MILES ON IT. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A SOMEWHAT COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN SINCE 2002 MODEL YEAR. I CALLED TOYOTA AND AS EXPECTED THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING RELATIVE TO COVERING THE PROBLEM. (CASE NUMBER 1611010676). THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING JUST UNDER 1/4 OF A TANK AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED.

Crash: 1

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE TOOK LONGER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MIKE CALVERT TOYOTA (2333 S LOOP W, HOUSTON, TX 77054, (713) 558-8100) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,500. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

Nov 25, 2019

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR WITH ALMOST NO STOPPING CAPABILITY. AFTER FINALLY GETTING THE VEHICLE TO STOP, THE PEDAL FELT NORMAL. THE NEXT DAY A SIMILAR SITUATION OCCURRED. SINCE THE OCCURRENCES WERE INCONSISTENT IN TIMING, SITUATION AND DRIVING CONDITIONS, IT WAS NOT EASY TO REPLICATE. UPON TAKING IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD THE SAME DIFFICULTY CAUSING IT TO HAPPEN. ALTHOUGH, ON THEIR "LAST" TRY, IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. LOCAL DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE SPECIFIC ISSUE AND CALLED IN AN ENGINEER FROM TOYOTA. ULTIMATELY, SINCE THEY COULD NOT ISOLATE ONE SPECIFIC FAILURE, THEY DECIDED THAT THE *MAIN COMPONENTS OF BRAKE SYSTEM SHOULD BE REPLACED. *MAIN COMPONENTS INCLUDE MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER AND ABS ACTUATOR. AS THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE, I BEGAN A CASE WITH TOYOTA MOTORS USA TO TRY AND GET A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING WHETHER THEY THOUGHT THIS TO BE AN ISSUE. AFTER ALL, THIS VEHICLE IS MARKETED AS HAVING ONE OF THE MOST ROBUST BRAKE SYSTEMS IN ITS CLASS. TOYOTA MOTORS USA INDICATED IN EMAILS THAT THEY HAD NO INTEREST IN REVIEWING AND TOLD ME THAT AS THE CUSTOMER, I HAD EVERY RIGHT TO CHOOSE ANOTHER BRAND IF I DISAGREED WITH THEIR POSITION. SINCE BRAKES ARE AN ESSENTIAL SAFETY SYSTEM IN A VEHICLE, IT SHOULD BE A PRIMARY CONCERN TO THEM IN ORDER TO EVALUATE POTENTIAL FAILURES WHERE THE OUTCOME COULD BE FAR WORSE.

NOISE IN BRAKES WHEN GOING SLOWLY AND TURNING RIGHT. TOOK TO MY MECHANIC HE LET ME KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY 2007-2013 TUNDRA'S AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON IT TSB0013-13 HOWEVER IT IS NOT A RECALL YET SO IT IS NOT COVERED BY TOYOTA. TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE OLD BEARING ASSEMBLIES, AND REPLACE BOTH REAR BACKING PLATES & BEARINGS, FRONT & BACK ROTORS, FRONT & REAR PADS, WHICH BROUGHT THIS TO A GRAND TOTAL OF $1,817.24. MY MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC FROM THE TOYOTA DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK, INFORMED ME THAT IF THIS PROCEDURE WAS NOT DONE THE BRAKES WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OUT AT SOME POINT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND I AM NOT SURE WHY THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL YET. I URGE TOYOTA TO RECONSIDER THIS PROBLEM AND QUALIFY IT AS A RECALL.

THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR AT THIS TIME, BUT I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS WHO SAY THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL TO HAPPEN AND TOYOTA SHOULD BE COVERING THIS. OF COURSE, WHEN I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE CHARGE WITHOUT CHARGING OVER A $100 FEE SINCE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME HELP INTO HOPING HAVING THIS COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO A FACTORY PROBLEM AND NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. *TR

Sep 10, 2014

I BOUGHT A 2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX, THAT WAS LIFTED AND HAD DIFFERENT WHEELS AND TIRES PUT ON BY THE DEALERSHIP PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE TRUCK, AROUND OCTOBER OF 2011. I FOUND IT TO BE SLIGHTLY PULLING LEFT SO I THOUGHT IT NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT DONE SO CALL RUSSEL TOYOTA IN CATONSVILLE AND WAS TOLD TO DRIVE FOR AWHILE TO MAKE SURE AND ITS NOT THE ROADS. AT ABOUT 2000 MILE I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO DROP OFF THE TRUCK. A WEEK LATER I DROPPED OFF THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND METAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL AREA AND WAS CALLED BACK LATER THAT DAY TO PICK IT UP AND BRING IT BACK WHEN THE WEATHER WAS NICER SO I PICKED UP THE TRUCK. I GOT BACK FROM VACATION AND DROPPED OFF THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALIGNMENT, NOISE FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS WHEEL AREA, OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD IT WILL TAKE A DAY OR MORE. I WAS CALL BACK BY THE DEALERSHIP 4 DAYS LATER SAYING THE OIL CHANGE WAS DONE BUT THAT THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE THE COMPANY THAT LIFTED THE TRUCK SAW SCUFF MARKS ON THE TIRES FROM HITTING A CURB. MY SERVICE AGENT GOT THE COMPANY TO SAY THEY WOULD FIX THE ALIGNMENT. 3 DAYS LATER THE SERVICE AGENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP CALL ME AND SAID HE COULDN'T GET IN CONTACT WITH THE OTHER COMPANY BUT HE DID IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE. I DROVE THE TRUCK AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS WORSE THAN BEFORE SO I CALL AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK AND LEAVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS. I WAS CONCERNED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE NOISE SO I CHECKED THE FRONT WHEEL AREA OF MY TRUCK AND FOUND THAT THE STRUT WAS BROKEN SO I KIND OF FIGURE OUT IT WAS THE BROKEN STRUT THAT WAS MAKING MY TRUCK PULL THAT DIRECTION AND THE METAL NOISE WAS COMING FROM THERE. RUSSEL TOYOTA AND THE OTHER COMPANY IS TRYING NOT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND PUT THE BLAME ON ME AND I AM THE VICTIM. *KB

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY TUNDRA WOULD NOT GO PAST 20 MPH. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO PULL OFF/EXIT. I BROUGHT IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER FOR AN AUTHORIZE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR. MY SECONDARY INJECTION VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE BACK IN JANUARY 2016 AND THE QUOTE PRICE WAS $2860 FROM MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. TOYOTA DID NOT COVER THE FAULTY INJECTION UNTIL A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT LETTER CAME OUT IN AUGUST 2017 FOR OWNER'S TO SUBMIT PAPERWORK. THIS MAY AFFECT OTHER TOYOTA TUNDRA AND SEQUOIA MODEL AS WELL.

Sep 08, 2017

WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST PROPULSION POWER RESULTING IN VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN AND ALMOST CREATING AN ACCIDENT FROM BEHIND. I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED VIA A OBD2 CODE CHECKER WHICH RESULTED IN CODE P2442. AFTER VERIFYING CODE, IT LOOKS AS IF IT IS A FAULTY AIR INTAKE. LOOKING THROUGH SEVERAL SOURCES ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR REPAIR. PLEASE TAKE THIS ISSUE INTO CONSIDERATION AND HELP THE CONSUMER. FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEM I PURCHASED MY 2011 TUNDRA QUARTER END 2011. IT HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES AND IS WELL MAINTAINED BY THE DEALER. LATE MAY 2017 E LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THIS CHECKED. I LEARNED THAT I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $3,000

May 19, 2017

VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40MPH. THIS OCCURRED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS AIR INJECTION PUMP FAILURE. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH MASTER MECHANIC AND A SERVICE MANAGER I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED IT EARLIER MODELS UP TO AND INCLUDING 2010 TUNDRA WHERE TOYOTA TOOK CARE OF THE REPAIR . BUT THEY CONTINUED TO USE THIS PART UNTIL LATE 2011. MY TRUCK WAS DELIVERED IN FALL OF 2010 AND HAD THE OLDER STYLE PART. THEY CHANGED THE PART DESIGN AND NOW IT PREVENTS MOISTURE TO ENTER THE PUMP AND PREVENTS CORROSION WHICH CAUSED PUMP FAILURE. THE ORIGINAL PART HAD FLARED HEAD TUBING AND NO SEAL THE NEW DESIGN HAS A SEALED TUBE END. TOYOTA NEW THIS WOULD FAIL YET THEY DID NOT MAKE THE RECALL I HAVE REQUESTED A REIMBURSEMENT BUT THE HAVE SO FAR FAILED TO DO SO THIS COST ME OVER $2400 THIS EXPENSE SHOULD BE ENTIRELY ON TOYOTA

TRUCK'S COMPUTER IS READING AN INCORRECT PERCEIVED ALCOHOL DENSITY. TRUCK HAS A FLEX FUEL ENGINE AND THE COMPUTER IS TELLING THE ENGINE THAT THERE IS ETHANOL IN THE FUEL SYSTEM WHILE THERE IS NOT. I HAVE NEVER RUN ETHANOL IN THE TRUCK YET THE COMPUTER IS READING THAT THERE IS A 30-50% ALCOHOL DENSITY IN THE FUEL. THE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS ARE MISSING WHILE UNDER POWER AND POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING. HAVE HAD MY TRUCK TO MULTIPLE DEALERS OVER 5 TIMES NOW. THE DEALERS HAVE CONTINUED TO RE-FLASH MY TRUCK'S ECU ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM TO COME BACK BECAUSE THE ECU IS A LEARNING ECU. TOYOTA HAS RELEASED A FIX FOR 2012 AND 2013 MODELS BUT NOT FOR THE 2011 MODELS WHICH IS LEAVING ME STRANDED. I PULL A BOAT FREQUENTLY AND THE LOSS IN POWER HAS SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON TOWING. THIS PROBLEM ALSO CAUSES THE ENGINE TO RUN LEAN RESULTING IN POORER FUEL MILEAGE AND INCREASED COSTS FOR ME. I'VE TALKED WITH PEOPLE AT TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE NO PLANS TO RELEASE A FIX FOR THE 2011'S AND THAT THERE IS BASICALLY NOTHING THAT I CAN DO. SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK THAT IS READING THE FUEL WRONG AND CAUSING THE TRUCK TO RUN LEAN WHICH IS SURELY GRADUALLY DAMAGING THE ENGINE WHICH I'M SURE WILL RESULT IN LOTS OF REPAIRS AFTER THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

THE LENS COVER ON VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT CLEAR AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF USE, THEY ARE BECOMING FOGGED OVER BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND THE SAND FROM OTHER VEHICLES GOING DOWN THE ROAD SANDBLAST THEM. THIS CAUSES THE HEADLIGHT TO NOT PROJECT THE LIGHT DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OUT DRIVE THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS CAN CAUSE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS AND PEDESTRIAN INVOLVED ACCIDENTS. THEY USED TO BE MADE FROM GLASS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED. THANK YOU.

I GOT STOPPED AND ISSUED A $187.00 VIOLATION BY THE POLICE IN CA AS MY TRUCK PARKING, (AMBER LIGHTS) WERE ON DURING DRIVING IN THE DAYTIME. THIS TRUCK IS WIRED SO THE AMBER (PARKING LIGHT LENS) ARE ON WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING SO TO THE POLICE IT IS THE SAME AS DRIVING WITH PARKING LIGHTS ON WHICH IS ILLEGAL UNDER CA VC 24800 AND MOST OTHER STATES. THIS MAKES MY VEHICLE ILLEGAL TO OPERATE AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT (THE VERY REASON FOR PARKING LIGHTS). NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ALLOWS AMBER PARKING LENS TO BE USED AS DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT ALSO MAKES ME LIBEL TO GET STOPPED AND TICKETED EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE DAYTIME. *JB

MY 2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DRIVEN TO A NEARBY O' REILLY'S FOR A CODE CHECK. THE CODE WAS P0418 WHICH IS THE AIR INDUCTION PUMP WHICH IS AN EMISSION'S CODE. THE TRUCK THEN WENT INTO A LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHICH MEANT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO GO ANY FASTER DUE TO AN EMISSION'S CODE PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO A LIMP MODE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS AIR INJECTION PUMP FOR THE 2007-2010 TUNDRA MODELS. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO HELP COVER THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON TUNDRAS. I READ THAT THE SAME FAULTY AIR PUMP WHICH ALLOWS MOISTURE TO ENTER IS STILL BEING USED IN MY 2011 TUNDRA MODEL. THIS IS A $2,200 REPAIR WHICH TOYOTA SHOULD COVER SINCE IT HAS OCCURRED TO THEIR EARLIER MODELS AND MINE AS WELL. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY REPAIR, BUT ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOUR VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ON AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM.

Horn stopped working right after I bought this truck from a dealer. I did some research on why it stopped. I was told and also read that it was the air bag clock spring. This controls the air bags and horn and other components. What it is the clock spring was installed by Toyota that had a bad spot on it. This causes the wiring harness to start rubbing and cutting into the wires. Would cause the horn to stop working and the air bags not to work and other things that is wired to this harness also. This should be a safety concern, and Toyota needs to recall to fix. Read that the 2011 Toyota's was bad for doing this. Costing the customer about $800.00 to fix. I have the truck about 3 months. Might be the reason it was traded in. Works some times and doesn't work. I am worried the air bags will deploy if not fixed. Please check into this. I would like to know what you find out before I spend the money to get it fixed On Social Security and don't have that much money in hand to have fixed.

On 11/25/22 I meet with American Auto Mall to buy a used truck I was assured through text, website and window sticker that the truck was in excellent condition inside and out.. I have all this documents proofing this.. I did van limited inspection at the lot and a test drive.. found nothing that stuck out.. other than the radio not working but the dealership said he would reimburse me if I got it fixed..so after that a down payment was made of $5550 dollars and paperwork was signed.. I drove the truck home and the next week I got in it and it wouldn't start, turns out it needed a battery and alternator, so I took it to a shop and was told that this vehicle was badly rusted and had a lot of hidden rust damage.. and improperly installed brakes., coolant leaks and exhaust leaks.. after finding this out I tried to call the dealership and he hasn't been replying.. I was also told this truck wouldn't pass a legal VA inspection.. so the current one was fraudulent I have all documents that support my case. I will like to turn this vehicle back in and given a full refund

I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER WHOM AGREED THIS WAS AN OBSCURE OCCURRENCE, TO WHICH THEY WARRANTIED AND FIXED IT. THIS OCCURRED AT 250,000 MILES SO THAT SEEMED LIKE A SATISFACTORY ENDING! HOWEVER, AT 3500 MILES LATER GOING 70MPH DOWN INTERSTATE 20 AT 4 AM A HORRENDOUS CRASH ( NOISE) AND ALMOST FLIPPING THE SAME TIRE SHEARED AGAIN PASSING ME BY!! I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDNT FLIP! TOYOTAS EXPLANTION... THEY COULDNT/WOULDNT PROVIDE ME ONE BUT DID FIX MY PROBLEM AS THE FRICTION SANDED DOWN INTO THE ROTOR AND SHOCK ABSORBER HANGER!! NOT SURE IF OTHER FOLKS HAVE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE?? I DID ENCOUTER ANOTHER FELLOW (MY SON) WHOM HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AT 250,000 MILES ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WITH A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2012 HE OWNED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS TO WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE IS!! I FELT LIKE TOYOTA TOOK CARE OF ME REPAIR WISE BUT NEVER GOT A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM THEM ON THE CAUSE!!

MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG POPPED OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL BUT DIDN'T INFLATE. DUE TO THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING PROPERLY I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

I HAVE ASKED MY INSURER USAA AND THEIR CONTRACTED INSPECTORS TO INSPECT THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG WITHOUT SUCCESS. APPARENTLY YOU NEED TO HIRE YOUR OWN ENGINEERS OR INSPECTORS TO CONDUCT AN INSPECTION. I HAVE TRIED TO LOCATE ONE IN WV WITHOUT SUCCESS. USAA WANTS TO CLOSE OUT THE CLAIM AND SALVAGE/AUCTION MY VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO GET AN INSPECTION DONE FIRST.

MY VEHICLE FIRST HAD ITS WIRING HARNESS DESTROYED BY A RODENT OF SOME SORT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. AFTER SENDING IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND $7000 DOLLARS LATER, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK HOME AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. I TRIED MANY REMEDIES TO DISCOURAGE THE RODENTS FROM RETURNING BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO DETER THEM FROM THE SOY BASED INSULATION ON MY TRUCKS WIRING HARNESS. I NOW HAVE TO SEND MY TRUCK BACK FOR REPAIRS TO THE SAME WIRING HARNESS ($7000) AS BEFORE, AND ALSO ANOTHER WIRING HARNESS WHICH WILL PROBABLY COST CLOSE TO THE SAME. HOW CAN TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH MAKING INSULATION OUT OF RODENT FOOD WHEN THESE WIRES OPERATE THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM? THIS PRACTICE NOT ONLY PUTS A FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE OWNER BUT ALSO COMPROMISES THEIR SAFETY. *TR

ON SUN. 10/11/14, I DROVE OUR TUNDRA ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT LOST POWER. THE ENGINE RACED AND RPMS INCREASED, BUT THE SPEED FELL AND NO ACCELERATION WAS POSSIBLE. ON A HILL, SPEED FELL TO ABOUT 15 MPH. I WAS ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY HORSE AND TRAILER; IF I HAD BEEN TOWING THEM, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE HIGHWAY SPEED TRAFFIC. IT WAS STILL DANGEROUS EVEN WITHOUT THE TRAILER. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND LIMPED OFF. "CHECK ENGINE" LIT UP. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, WHO SAID CHECK ENGINE CODE WAS "P2445" FOR "SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM WATER INTRUSION" REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR PUMP ASSEMBLY, AIR PUMP INLET, EMISSION VALVE SET, ETC. FOR $2600 BECAUSE WATER INVADED THE SYSTEM. THE SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT MY INTERNET SEARCH SHOWED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED A 12-PAGE 2011 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, STATING THAT "THE AIR PUMP ASSEMBLY INLET HAS BEEN UPDATED TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION." TOYOTA HAS NEITHER RECALLED THE DEFECTIVE INLETS NOR NOTIFIED OWNERS. THE TSB SAYS ONLY TRUCKS UNDER THE 36,000/ 3 YEAR WARRANTY ARE COVERED. TUNDRAS ARE TOW VEHICLES AND IT IS FORESEEABLE HOW UNSAFE THIS IS. BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS SOLD JUST OVER 3 YEARS AGO, THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AT FIRST COULD NOT COVER IT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS, WHO REFERRED ME BACK TO THE LOCAL SERVICE MANAGER, WHO THEN REACHED SOUTHEAST REGIONAL TOYOTA OFFICE, WHICH FINALLY AGREED TO COVER THE REPAIR. WHEN THIS AIR PUMP INLET FAILS, IT ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE AIR INJECTION SYSTEM AND THE SYSTEM TO THEN FAIL IN THE DANGEROUS WAY THAT OCCURRED IN MY CASE, RESULTING IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS AND THAT THE DEALERS SEEM UNAWARE OF THIS TSB AND THIS "KNOWN ISSUE."

I HAVE A 2011 TUNDRA SR5 WITH A LOUD CLICKING NOISE THAT HAS BEEN COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN NEAR THE SHIFT LEVER. WHILE IN PARK, THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PRESSED IN ORDER TO SHIFT THE TRUCK INTO GEAR. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, A LOUD CLICK CAN BE HEARD FROM THE COLUMN SHIFTER. THIS IS THE COLUMN SHIFT LOCKOUT SOLENOID AND IS NORMAL. HOWEVER, RECENTLY I CAN HEAR THE SOLENOID CLICKING ANYTIME I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE I'M IN GEAR. SOMETIMES IT IS A CLICK, TWO CLICKS AND SOMETIMES IT IS SERIES OF RAPID CLICKS. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THE CLICKING WAS NORMAL WHILE IN PARK AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT WHILE IN GEAR. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY "BLEW OUT THE EXCESS GREASE" FROM THE SHIFT LOCK. THEIR BEST EXPLANATION IS THAT THE COLUMN SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID COMES FROM THE FACTORY AS A SEALED UNIT AND IS PACKED WITH GREASE. THE 'EXCESS' GREASE CAN KEEP THE LOCKING ARM FROM FULLY RETRACKING OR ENGAGING AND THE SOLENOID WILL CHATTER BECAUSE IT IS TRYING TO PUT IT INTO POSITION. *TR
