general problems of the 2008 Toyota Tundra

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the vehicles stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate above 50 mph. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where to be diagnosed. The dealer determined that the secondary air injection pump had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the nhsta hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000. The VIN was not available.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called an independent mechanic, but no assistance was provided. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The truck has had three engine oil leaks since 4-20-22. The most recent is being repaired now. In each of these leaks, engine oil leaks out of the valve cover and or the cam tower and drips onto the exhaust. The burning oil can be smelled inside the truck cab. I am concerned it could cause a fire. The dealer has repaired the first two leaks and is working on the cam tower leak now (drivers side). I notified Toyota, they refused to fix the problem.

My truck drove fine then all of a sudden my check engine, vsc and traction control light came on. I brought it to the shop and the code read p 2440. It is in limp mode and the shifting is sporadic.

The air injection pumps went out. Vehicle could not get out of limp mode, was very dangerous as I couldnt get up to speed while merging onto traffic. Had to put hazards on and drive vehicle home under 25mph. Vehicles were going around me. Vehicle is scheduled to be looked at by a dealer, but still recommend this be a safety issue!!.

Secondary air pump failure, truck has a tough time accelerating, I’ve unhooked the pipes and drained the water out the pipes but that did little good. The check engine light is on, “vsc off” light blanks on and off, as well as the “slippery tire” sign stays on.

Truck goes into low power mode or "limp" and has difficulty accelerating. The check engine light is on, “vsc off” light blinks on and off, as well as the “slippery tire” sign stays on. Very dangerous if this happens when driving on an expressway as you can't drive over 45 mph in low power mode. This is a known issue with air injection pumps and air switching valves for Toyota Tundra trucks between 2007-2008. Toyota extended the factory warranty instead of offering a recall. Due to the factory warranty extension Toyota would not fix this problem until it manifested, and it usually doesn't manifest until after the extension of the factory warranty has expired.

I am having problems with my truck. When driving it. It looses power. Engine shakes. . Goes from okay to loss of power to back to having power. In codes are showing up when placed on the computer. I have replaced spark plugs and wires. I took the truck to Toyota and they advised me that their has been recalls with fuel pump and could be the problem I am having.

Nhtsa id #10140591 was the campaign that my truck was warrantied under, I am exactly 64 days outside of Toyota's extended warranty and my truck started throwing code p2442 bank 2 secondary air injector valve staying open, a known issue with this truck. I asked Toyota only for assistance and not the complete repair and 3 reps flat out said no we did our part. The car was fine yesterday and today started it to go to work and my traction control, 4lo, vsc, engine light were all on, my truck went into "limp mode" Toyota USA was useless.

Tundra won't accelerate as engine goes into limp mode which restricts speed capability of vehicle. This is related to air injection pump failure and related also to air switching valves. Limp mode on a Toyota restricts speed at which you can drive, shifting and top speed are restricted. Slows to point if entering highway or trying to keep up with speed over 50 mph could not do it. Toyota is aware and has a customer support program ztq buying vehicle used not aware of this or anything about it. I slowed traffic and caused back up on the street was traveling could nit do more than 20-30 mph on road posted at 50 mph. Glad not entering freeway. Plenty of u tube videos detailing repair and problem. The Toyota documentation says 477,000 Tundra vehicles were covered by this enhanced warranty program. Previous owner did complain to Toyota and had computer replaced on vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tundra. While driving various speeds, the engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to atkinson Toyota south dallas (located at 39660 lyndon b johnson fwy, dallas, TX 75237, (972) 780-1166) where it was diagnosed that the air valve and the air induction pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the warranty on the vehicle was expired. The manufacturer opened case number: 1809192901. The approximate failure mileage was 107,404.

Code p2442 came up on my truck. This code indicates the secondary air injection pumps and valves are going bad on my truck. Also causes the truck to go into limp mode resulting in severe loss of power which can be dangerous in the wrong situation. My research indicates this is a known problem and very expensive to fix. Toyota will not fix the problem if your truck has over 150000mi or 10 years since first use. This affects all Tundra and is a known problem. Toyota has extended the warranty on this issue twice, so they know this system is defective. I believe there should be a recall on the affected vehicles.

Secondary air injection system has failed 3 times pumps and vaulves, repaired 2 times I can't affored to fix it a third! this should be a recall, the dealership said it is happening a lot! $3000 in repairs! runs on half power!.

Lights keep lighting and flashing while driving vehecile.

Air injection pumps stopped working and I cannot accelerate fast enough to get on the interstate ramp with 50% or more reduction in power and it's created a safety concern for me and my family. What can you do to help us? Toyota dealer says it's $1,400 plus to repair this problem. Please help we cannot afford this repair and we have been a very loyal Toyota customer since 1981. In fact, we don't ever buy a vehicle unless it's a Toyota. Thank you for your kind consideration. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. God bless!.

Sounds like a diesel when I start then goes away. Now at 55 mph anti slip light flashes, while it flashed I lose engine power until I let off gas soon as I let off gas power comes back for a few seconds and it repeats until I travel at lower speed took to dealer no codes. Happen after I left and got up to about 60mpg.

The check engine came on and an engine code of p2440 was read. P2440 indicated that the secondary air injection system switching valve bank 1 was stuck open. Vehicle has not been repaired due to the high cost of this repair.

Code 2440. Control valve stuck in air injection pump. Failed for the 2nd time upon startup. First failed at 68k miles early 2013. Toyota replaced it for free. They've had so many fail that they extended the warranty to 10 yr, 150k miles. Then it just failed again at 154k miles. They won't warranty the 2nd one because it's 4k miles out. Even though the part only has 86k miles on it. Cost is $2100 from the dealer! 1200 of that is just the parts. From what I've read this part is only required for the first couple minutes of operation on a cold start. It preheats the catalytic converter so it works better. The epa should be exempting minor discrepencies in their emissions laws while working with manufacturers to develop sensible solutions. In the meantime we get stuck with companies that do a shoddy job designing the system, place it in a terrible location requiring many hours to do the replacement, and then are bound by law (in my state) to maintain the equipment. The truck is in limp mode and is dangerous to drive. . . . . Guess I have to shell out the cash. After reading hundreds of complaints on multiple truck forums and experiencing the part to fail twice firsthand, it's obvious this is not an uncommon problem. The csr from Toyota acted like they did me a favor by "voluntarily" extending the warranty to 150k miles. No company "voluntarily" does this. I would like for you to consider having them issue a proper recall, exempting the affected make/model years from emissions standards for a failed system which would allow owners to bypass the system legally for about $150 in parts (harness & valve port blocking plates), or pressuring Toyota to extend warranty coverage to the part (not the truck) if it fails in the same way. A $2000+ fix on a non-essential component should not be a 75k mile recurring cost.

I owen a 2008 Toyota tundera I am having some problems with it the vsc off lights, abs and skidding lights keep flashing! took it to dealer they did'nt fine any thing wrong with it.

Error codes p2240,p2241. Something to do with the emissions.

When starting the Toyota Tundra the 4lo , vsr, check engine , lights lit up and the vehicle had no power it would 'nt run had to take the battery cable off to reset computer, it cleared the system then the same thing happen a week later took it in to the Toyota service shop and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I am still having the same problem with the truck almost every other day called Toyota customer care and they told me that's its not covered under a recall . I found out the problem is the secondary air pumps and injection system and have also read that a lot of people are having the same problem.

When accelerating on my truck between 45 and 55 miles, the motor starts shaking alot. I have to release the gas pedal to make it stopped. Also the transmission shift by itself when I am at a stop sign. Just once.

I have a Toyota Tundra 2008, after the dealer change the a/c cabin filter start a wet rag smell inside the car( mold smell) , this problem started a year before, when you used the a/c on max or recirculate the smell is less but when you use on vent only or air from outside smells a lot, has been past already a year and the dealer dont want to do anything about it even that I have a platinum Toyota care service plan. Now all my family are experiementing all kind of allergies include hay fever_type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes and skin rash. The dealer had change the a/c cabin filter twice but the problem still there. We think that theres mold on the a/c system. They said that probably is not condensating the water so well or is letting the outside water comes in to the a/c system which probably is a a/c design problem.

Code p2440 , secondary air injection valve stuck in open position. Air induction pump,.

2008 Toyota Tundra 4wd 5. 7l failure began Feb of 2010 truck entered "limp mode" and was taken to dealer for diagnostics. Problem determined to be "bank 2 valve stuck open for secondary air injection system" on my vehicle. Truck has entered in and out of limp mode consistently for up to a week at a time since issue surfaced. During limp mode vehicle cannot accelerate properly and is limited in power and speed, creating many dangerous situations especially involving highway travel. For example, vehicle often cannot accelerate over 50-55mph solely, and I have even become trapped on an interstate at 26mph pulling a trailer. Toyota has failed to accept responsibility for problem and denied my claim regarding issue and defect causing the situation.

Engine turns off going down the road and then starts up at full throttle. All the lights are flashing on the dash including the 4 lo light. I have been dealing with this issue since the truck had 10k on it and now it has 42k on it.
