general problems of the 2010 Toyota Tundra

I received a check engine light for the secondary injection system. Toyota extended the warranty but wont honor issues after 10 years, even though the truck has less than 100k miles. This is a safety issue as the trucks performance is altered and concerned about passing a car on a two lane highway. The repair can range from $2k to $4k pending on the dealer.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Tundra. While driving approximately 65 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle lost acceleration power. The contact pulled over to the side of the road to a complete stop. The vehicle was turned off. The contact restarted the vehicle normally, but the acceleration power was lost and the warning indicator was still illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as air injection pump failure. The contact was also advised that the manufacturer issued an extended warranty for the failure, but the vehicle was over the mileage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.

I was driving normally down the road after work and the vehicle started running rough and wouldn't go over 40 mph. I took it to autozone and called the Toyota dealer in morristown, TN. They told me there was a recall on a oxygen pump up to 150,000 miles on my vehicle and that because my vehicle was over 150,ooo miles that it wouldn't be covered and it cost over 2,000 to fix it. I wrote a letter to Toyota and they said they couldn't cover it because it was my fault I didn't check for recalls when I bought it used . They never sent me a recall letter on this at all , I had bought it at around 126,000 miles and received no recall letters when it would of been covered. This is my complaint that maybe you can help me . I can not afford to fix something like this. I should of been notified. They said it was my fault I didn't check for recalls not their problem.

Vehicle was traveling in freeway and all of a sudden the a/t oil temp light came on and the vehicle stop right away. Engine and everything stop working. I think this is serious and too dangerous. Hope someone will investigate the issue.

A sudden acceleration of engine rpm was experienced with the transmission in park and the engine idling. Without touching accelerator pedal, engine rpms increased to 3500 to 4000 for 8-10 seconds before returning to typical idling speed engine would not subsequently respond to depression of accelerator pedal. Toyota repair shop has diagnosed problem as throttle body stuck open. Although nobody was injured or killed in this incident, that doesn't make it any less serious. Perhaps some day, Toyota will fix these issues proactively.

In slow moving traffic, repetitive light gas and light braking. Noticed the brake becoming difficult to depress. Had my left foot stationary on the foot pad, right foot over the brake while rolling forward. Started to drop my right foot on brake as vehicle slowed in front of me and engine suddenly accelerated rapidly as if to full throttle. Pressed on the brake as hard as I could, engine redlined and rear tires started spinning. Popped it in neutral and within a second the engine stopped accelerating out of control. Floor mats were not interfering with any pedals on my immediate inspection after incident. Incident caught on dash/windshield camera.
