FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2011 TUNDRA QUARTER END 2010. 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. TOYOTA COVERED 45% OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE AIR INJECTION SYSTEM WHICH I APPRECIATE; HOWEVER, 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.

CONSUMING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1K MILES IS UNACCEPTABLE! MY ENGINE AT THE TIME I DISCOVERED THIS ONLY HAD 50K MILES ON IT. IF I WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE (5K-10K) MY ENGINE WILL FAIL DUE TO LOW LEVEL OF OIL LEFT, IF ANY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, MY TRUCK SUDDENLY BECAME SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH ICON SHOWING A CAR AND TRACTION BARS. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP. 3 HOURS LATER WAS TOLD ABOUT A CODE 2440 WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE SECONDARY AIR VALVES , PUMPS AND NEW INTAKE TUBE. RESEARCH INDICATES I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BUT APPARENTLY ONLY 2010 MODELS HAVE BEEN COVERED. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WAS ABOUT $2421.00 SO FAR TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS HAS BEEN AN EXISTING PROBLEM AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. MY TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 90K MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS SORT OF MAJOR REPAIRS AT THIS MILEAGE. THE DEALERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDED TO EXPLAIN THAT MY ENTIRE VEHICLE WOUD SHUT DOWN AND I WOULD HAVE EVEN WORSE PROBLEMS WITHOUT AN IMMEDIATE REPAIR. BEING A 65 YEAR OLD FEMALE, I WAS AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP SO WAS BASICALLY SCARED INTO A MAJOR REPAIR HAVING TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY ON A LIMITED INCOME.

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.

2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA BED COVER MOUNTING HARDWARE FAILED DURING DRIVING CAUSING THE ENTIRE BED COVER TO FLY OFF. THE INSTALLATION HARDWARE APPREAR TO BE TOO SMALL TO KEEP THE HARD COVER FALLING OFF.

THIS COVER CAME AS AN OPTION FROM TOYOTA BUT DOES NOT HAVE A TOYOTA LABEL.

TOYOTA KNOWS IT HAS A DEFECTIVE (AIP) BUT REFUSES TO COVER THE 2011'S UNTIL ENOUGH CONSUMERS COMPLAIN.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOSS ENGINE POWER AND BEGAN TO SLOW. AFTER I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND IT BECAME UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING AND POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH, I PULLED OVER AND HAD TO LIMP VEHICLE BACK HOME. TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX IT SAYING IT ONLY OFFERS REPLACEMENT ON THE 2007-2010 TOYOTA VEHICLES. THE DEFECTIVE PART NUMBER IS THE SAME ON MY 2011 AS ALL THE OTHER TOYOTAS BUT THEY STOPPED COVERING IT IN THE LATER MODELS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD TO REPAIR SO MANY THAT AT ONE TIME THERE WAS A 60 DAY BACKLOG ON PARTS. THIS IS RIDICULUS AND TOYOTA IS RISKING THE LIVES OF THOSE THAT DRIVE THEIR PRODUCT. I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THIS ON TOP OF WHAT I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE. I WILL WARN EVERYONE I CAN REACH TO NEVER BUY A TOYOTA. TOYOTA HAS BECOME A COMPANY OF SUBPAR CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND DESERVES EVERY CLASS ACTION SUIT THEY GET FILED AGAINST THEM. WHOEVER BEGINS ONE ON THESE FAILED AIR INJECTION PUMPS COUNT ME IN FOR THE REFUND AND THE MENTAL ANGUISH OF TRYING TO GET TOYOTA TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!!! THIS COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE!!! UNSAFE!!!
