I pulled into my furniture store and had the truck in drive but stationary and was getting ready to put the truck in reverse to park into my spot. All of a sudden the truck accelerated like a bat out of hell and I ended up crashing into the store's entrance causing a lot of damage to both the vehicle and the store's building. It could have been worse because I almost ran over my daughter. I know what happened. I did not press the gas pedal by mistake. This is a terrible situation. This should not happen to anyone.

Secondary air injection pump needs replaced. Code p1441 and p1444 error code. This recall only effects 2007-2009 models although the same problem was happening in 2005 and 2006. Mine being a 2006 isn't covered by a recall for the same issues. This is a 2k plus job. Thanks.

The truck went int0 limp mode" reducing power and accelertion. . At highway speeds, in traffic, or in remote places, this creates a serious safety issue. Issue appears to be "air injection pump" and/or related valves. This is a well-documented issue with the Toyota Tundra encountered by owners of the 2006 Tundra, and should be included in an earlier expanded warranty program. Repairs are however out of warranty, are potentially 3-4 thousand dollars and should be covered in previous Toyota program for the 2007 model year. Contacted Toyota customer support to no avail.

'2006 Tundra dbl cab limited 2x4' the gears in the rear differential broke back in July 2012 at 55000 miles, Toyota dealer repaired it just as my warranty was about to expire then it just happend again on 10-9-14 at 71000 miles, exactly 8 years of the date when I bought it brand new in 10-9-06. Only 16000 miles on the new gears. Either the Toyota dealer didnt repair it right or the Tundras have crappy differentials. Ill never purchase a Toyota again, plus they're over priced.

2006 Toyota Tundra, v8 when the vehicle is started the idle goes to a high rate of rpm. If you place the vehicle in drive, it will lurch forward if the brakes are not firmly pressed. The rpm is higher in the winter. The dealer states, that this is normal and a part of the computer control system. I consider this a potential hazard. The problem has been evident since I purchased the new vehicle in 2006.
