5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2018

While driving the truck to las vegas Aug, 2018 was passing a line of semi's going to slow after passing about 3 of them the engine just stopped running, had to get to side of road fast, after making it there the truck would not start again. After an hour or so it started. Made it to vegas. The same thing happened several times since that day also there is no warning lights such as "check engine" light that came on. This truck was bought new in 2008, when the first time that happened it had 29080 miles on it, I don't drive it that much as I am retired so don't drive as much as I did before. That trip to vegas could have been all to different had I not been able to get off freeway, because the stearing at 70 mph is not too good, could have been bad accident for my wife and myself, and others that may have been involved. Toyota dealer said he never heard of a problem like that when I called them. Have searched several web sites and found complaints with same problem therefore I believe Toyota knows about it but refuses to repair their problem. Maybe they need a high total of deaths before fixing their problem. I think its a fuel pump problem or related to the engine.

I got an obd ii code p2440 secondary air injection valve stuck open as I was pulling out of the driveway and almost got stuck in the road.

13 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2011

My vehicle set a dtc p2440 for the secondary air induction valve stuck open. I have been told this repair is not covered under warranty due to water intrusion. The only problem is that my vehicle has never been under water or off road. This is a design flaw/engineering defect that Toyota created and should be treated as a recall for all affected models for replacement for a better or redesigned part. The cost of replacement for the affected parts is beyond reasonable for all Toyota owners. Toyota needs to step up and fix there flaw. I pulled out onto a public road and had no power and was nearly involved in an accident due to this problem. Its not safe and very dangerous.

14 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/17/2011

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!!.

26 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2008

Vehicle hard to stop with a/c or headlights on. Engine idles normally 5-600 rpm, until parking lights or a/c is turned on. Then it idles at 800 rpm in gear. Sometimes it feels like you've been rear ended, after coming to a stop. If driving surface is slippery and put into gear with head lights on, the rear tires will begin to spin, without touching the accelerator. This is a daily occurence that has been taken to different Toyota dealers with no relief. All they can say is that the computer says everything is okay. Turning the parking lights on does not cause enough load on the engine to warrant the extra 200 or more rpm. The other day ( 01/26/2010 ) I was turning around in a muddy driveway and while idling I turned the steering wheel to the left. I let my foot off the brake and the truck went straight, even as I applied the brakes, leaving two big ruts through my friends yard. This was caused by the ground being slippery and the high idle speed. I am sure that this will cut down on the life of the brakes. 4. 7 v8 engine.

27 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/09/2007

I notified Toyota motor manufacturing of alabama quality control in late 2007 and again in early 2008 of both of my Tundras speeding up on their own. I actually work at the Toyota plant and was told to not breath a word of this to anyone that it had to do with my job. I have a lot more information on this and Toyota has had me go to depositions over this but have tried to get me to believe their was nothing wrong with the vehicles. I am now coming forward.
