general problems of the 2005 Toyota Tundra

Suddenly unintended acceleration has happened multiple times with the brake depressed and the accelerator pedal not depressed.

I own a 2005 Toyota Tundra with just 60,000 miles. In 2014 Toyota was allowed to put a band-aid on a problem that needed a tourniquet - applying a rust converter coating to a frame that, because of their failure to manufacturer it properly, deserved replacing. I was told by Toyota (case number 1912132549) that because the previous owner took the band-aid they were no longer liable until the government forced them via further government safety recall actions to do more. My hope is by writing this that the government can be proactive and solve this safety concern before they have to collect enough death and accident statistics to take notice of this issue. Not only that, I see that Toyota is being offered the same band-aid solution on a number of new models with the same issue - proving that they didn't learn any lesson just how they can get away with actual murder. The result will be more vehicles in 5 years in worse shape due to the lenient reconciliation mandated by the government. Do not put more lives at risk in order to save a multi-billion dollar companies bottom line. The frame which is known to be prone to excessive, premature rust corrosion because the frames were not properly prepared and treated against rust corrosion when they were manufactured should all have to be replaced under this recall to protect american drivers. This excessive rust corrosion compromises the vehicles� safety, stability, and crash-worthiness because important suspension components, engine mounts, transmission mounts, and body mounts anchored to the vehicles� frames are at risk of failure. Do you want this vehicle (picture attached) passing your family on a two-lane highway, because I can tell you there are a lot, and soon to be even more, doing it every day.

Toyota has extended its warranty for the air injection pump and air switching valves on 2007-2010 Tundras. The extension is for 10 years or 150,000 miles from first use. I have a 2005 Tundra that has a failing air injection system. I am within the mileage range of first use . The truck has the same air injection system as the Tundras within the warranty extension, but Toyota refuses to honor the warranty extension on my truck. This is a $4000 fix and the truck is unsafe to drive in the current state.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Tundra. Immediately after starting the vehicle, air began leaking from the air injection system and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred multiple times. An independent mechanic stated that the air injection system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.

Loss of acceleration power. Dealer quote $3,745 to replace pump/valve/driver assemblies. Told by repair shop same issue as technical bulletin addressed on 2007-2010 Tundras power issues. If true, seems a recall should have been required to repair 2005 year models.

Loss of power dealer said I neeed a secondary smog pump and check vavles at a cost of 2158. 90 truck has only 38000 miles find out if my info is correct same problem on 2007 thru 2010 and Toyota did extend there warranty. Loss of power a big saftey issue.

Engine light came on. After having codes read, problem was identified as the air induction pump. The issue is that when this pump goes out, it puts the engine in a "limp" mode, which causes the vehicle to not have adequate acceleration to merge with traffic. This is a safety issue as drivers do not know that the "limp" mode occurs when this happens. Needless to say, the replacement part cost over $1300. I would think a part of that expense should last longer than a little over 50,000 miles.
