ENGINE
I HAVE A 2012 TOYOTA TACOMA 4X4 SPORT DOUBLE CAB LONGBED WITH 28860 MILES. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND NOTICED THE "CHECK ENGINE" AND "TRAC CONTROL" LIGHTS ON IN THE CLUSTER. AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED A LACK OF POWER IT WAS IN "LIMPED MODE". MADE IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO DID A CODE CHECK WITH READER, CODES P2440 AND P2442 SHOWN WHICH IS SECONDARY INJECTION PUMP VALVE MALFUNCTION. THE CONCERNING ASPECT IS THAT WITH SUCH LOW MILAGE THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS THAT MAKES THE TRUCK GO INTO LIMP MODE WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IN ANY GIVE SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAYS. TOYOTA MUST REALLY CONSIDER INVESTIGATING THIS DEFECT.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING AND WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY MY TRUCK COMPLETELY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH, ANF WOULD NOT GO OVER 1200 RPMS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE CODES THAT POPPED UP FROM MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND HAVE FOUND A TON OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE CODE IS P2442, AND INDICATES A FAILED AIR INJECTOR THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR SAFETY ADVISORY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2012 TOYOTA TACOMA W 47K MILES 4 YRS OLD. BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM TOYOTA. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRAC OFF BOTH CAME ON. ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL OVER A BRIDGE AND COULD NOT GO BEYOND 20 MPH WITH ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN!. VEHICLES SPEEDING UP ON ME, PULLED OFF INTO EMERGENCY LANE. VEHICLE TOWED AND BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME A 'BANK 1 SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SWITCHING VALVE' NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT ABOUT $900. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR A RECALL. RESEARCH ON INTERNET SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. TOYOTA CC CALLED WITH REPORT FILED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY OR MORTALITY DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN A VULNERABLE POSITION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CHECK ENGINE AND TRAC OFF INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME IN, AND VEHICLE WENT INTO FAIL CODE MODE ALSO KNOWN AS"LIMP MODE" WHILE DRIVING DOWN A TOWN ROAD. VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 40 MPH. MANAGED TO GET VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS A "SECONDARY AIR PUMP AND VALVE". VEHICLE HAS 56,700 MILES ON IT. TOYOTA WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A FAULT IN THE PART IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE. TOYOTA TUNDRAS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND TOYOTA PROVIDED A FIX FOR THIS MODEL. WHEN ASKED IF THE REPLACEMENT PART WOULD FAIL IN 50,000 MILES I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW PART WAS "UPDATED" SO IT SHOULDN'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHY DID TOYOTA ALLEGEDLY UPDATE THE REPLACEMENT PART IF THERE WAS NO FAULTS IN THE ORIGINAL PART?

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CODE P2440 AND P2442. AIR INJECTION SYSTEM VALVES ARE STUCK OPEN (RELATED TO EMISSIONS CONTROL UNIT) WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO 'LIMP' MODE ABRUPBTLY. THIS RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE, AND CAN OCCUR IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING CAUSING SERIOUS DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND FELLOW DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO COVER UNDER ANY POWERTRAIN OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE IS PERVASIVE AMONG 2012 TACOMA OWNERS AND TOYOTA REDESIGNED THE SYSTEM AS EARLY AS 2013 WHICH IMPLICATES THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A DEFECT.
