STRUCTURE:BODY
TOYOTA TUNDRA 2000 FRAME SEVERELY RUSTED. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC, MAYBE A RISK TO ME AND OTHERS. I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS SINCE 1984, AND HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED AND APPALLED. IS NHTSA DOING ANYTHING OR IS THIS A WASTE OF MY TIME? WHAT DO I DO? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP MODE, WHICH REDUCES ENGINE POWER MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FROM THE EMISSIONS VALVE SET FAILING. WHEN REPAIRED BY DEALER THEY ALSO DISCOVERED A CRACKED MANIFOLD. THIS EMISSIONS VALVE SET FAILURE SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON ON 2008 TUNDRAS AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. TO MY SURPRISE THE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND THAT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE EMISSIONS VALVE SET FAILURE. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THEIR EMISSIONS VALVE SET AND REDESIGN IT SO IT DOES NOT FAIL, AND IS LESS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, AND FINALLY THEY SHOULD NOT PROGRAM THE ENGINE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE IF THIS FAILURE OCCURS, AS IT CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE POWER TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WOULD NOT PROPERLY OPERATE IN A FLASHING MODE TO ALERT THE DRIVER OF LOW TIRE AIR PRESSURE.

THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 11V148000 (TIRES: PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS).

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000. ..UPDATED 09/15/11 *BF THE TPMS WOULD NOT RESET WHEN THE TIRES WERE ROTATED. UPDATED 09/26/11

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4.7. APPROXIMATELY 124,000 KMS ENGINE WENT INITO LIMP MODE. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS AIR PUMP AND VALVE BANK FAILURE, $4700 REPAIR ESTIMATE. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OVER 100,000 KMS. ALSO PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER THESE PARTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. (GO FIGURE) PURSUED THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY WHICH COVERS EMISSION CONTROL PARTS, HOWEVER TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS NOT PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH THE AIR PUMP CONTROLS EMISSIONS AT VEHICLE START UP. TOOK THE PUMP OFF THE VEHICLE AND DRAINED THE WATER FROM THE POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM, LUBRICATED THE PUMP AND GOT IT WORKING. TRUCK WENT BACK INTO LIMP MODE AFTER A COUPLE DAYS NOW APPARENTLY VALVE BANK IS STUCK. TOYOTA STILL RECOMMENDS REPLACING ALL THE PARTS FOR $4700. NOT HAPPY WITH TOYOTA THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL THE PUMP IS LOCATED IN THE FENDER WELL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF RIGHT FRONT TIRE, THE INTAKE PIPE FOR THE PUMP IS DESIGNED SO THAT ANY WATER PRESENT GOES DIRECTLY INTO THE PUMP CAUSING THE SYSTEM FAILURE. IT WOULD BE A PRETTY SIMPLE FIX FOR TOYOTA JUST PUT A 90 DEGREE BEND IN THE PIPE SO THAT WATER CANNOT GET IN AND REPOSITION THE INTAKE HOLE. TRYING TO SELL TUNDRA IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED. *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
EMISSIONS VALVE AND RELATED PUMPS FAILED CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT LOSS IN POWER. THIS HAPPENED WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY IN UPSTATE VERMONT. SUDDENLY MY TRUCK LOST SIGNIFICANT POWER, AND WOULD RAPIDLY DECELARATE EVERYTIME I APPROACH A POSITIVE GRADE IN THE ROAD. SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE TRIP I SLOWED DOWN FASTER THAN CARS BEHIND ME EXPECTED, AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WARN THEM AS IT WAS DUE TO THE TRUCK LOSING POWER, AND NOT ME BRAKING. IN ADDITION DUE TO THE LOCATION I WAS AT I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A DEALER FOR SEVERAL MILES. WHEN THE CODES WERE PULLED FOR THE SERVICE ENGINE IT APPEARED AS CODE P2442 (SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP SYSTEM SWITCHING CALVE STUCK OPEN BNKS) *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
1ST WEEK OF APRIL, 2011, 2007 TUNDRA WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE, HOOKED UP TESTER, SAID P2442 CODE. COMMON PROBLEM, ON THESE TRUCKS, FROM WHAT DEALER TOLD ME. ORDERED PARTS, AT THAT TIME. $1500.00 OF PARTS ORDERED. TOOK 9 WEEKS, TO GET PARTS. A VERY DANGEROUS TRUCK TO DRIVE, WITH THIS SITUATION. CAN'T PARK IT, TO WAIT 9 WEEKS, FOR PARTS, STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. NO POWER, DANGEROUS ON FREEWAY, OR ANY WHERE ELSE. TOYOTA WAS STILL SENDING NEW TRUCKS, TO BE SOLD, WHEN, THEY COULD HAVE SENT PARTS, TO FIX THIS VERY EXPENSIVE, AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IF THIS IS AN EMISSIONS ISSUE, SHOULDN'T A RECALL BE MADE, AND AT LEAST PRTS TO FIX, BE REIMBURSED? HAVE PURCHASED 5 NEW TOYOTAS, FOR FAMILY AND BUSINESS, OVER LAST 10 YEARS, WILL LOOK ELSEWHERE, NEXT TIME I TRADE. I WENT FROM DOMESTIC, TO TOYOTA, FOR THE SAME REASON, 10 YEARS AGO. NOW TOYOTA IS ACTING LIKE FORD AND GM, DID, AT THAT TIME./ WILL BUY GM OR FORDS NEXT TIME. TOYOTA HAS TREATED ME LIKE CRAP, AT THE DEALER LEVEL, AND ON THE CORPORATE LEVEL. THESE PARTS ARE ONLY COVERED 3 YEAR/36,000 MILES. TOYOTA KNOWS THAT THESE PARTS, ARE DEFECTIVE!! IF THE PARTS ARE SMOG RELATED, NEED TO HAVE A RECALL!! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
2 AIR INDUCTION PUMPS (AIP) AND ASSOCIATED VALUES FAILURE AROUND 60K MILES. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE IS MOISTURE. NEW PUMPS AND VALVES CAN BE INSTALLED FOR $4000 OR IF YOU ARE LUCKY AND YOU ONLY NEED TO REPLACE ONE PUMP AND BOTH VALVES IT ONLY COST $2150. THE NEW PUMPS AND VALUES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED SO THEY SHOULD NOT FAILURE AS FAST AS ORIGINALS. IF THE NEW PUMPS AND VALVES HAD TO BE "MODIFIED" THEN IT LEADS ONE TO BELIEVE THE ORIGINALS HAD A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

UNHAPPY TOYOTA CUSTOMER. POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN. *TR
