Check Engine Light On problems of the 2012 Toyota Tundra

The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle was purchased with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was repaired at john harvey Toyota (2901 benton rd, bossier city, la 71111, (318) 741-1337). The contact stated that after the vehicle repaired, the transmission failed and the contact returned the vehicle to the same dealer where the transmission was also repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate above 25 mph and was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic determined that the secondary air injection system failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

Check engine light went on. Got a code p0418-vehicle will go limp/not able to go over 25mps. Toyota has a warranty repair program in place for all 2012 Tundras with a 5. 7 size but not mine because it is a 4. 6 even though it is the exact same problem!!!.

When cranking the vehicle all of a sudden as of 5 days ago the check engine light appears along with �track off� indicator. This throws the truck in �limp� mode decreasing the power of the vehicle by 50%. This happened the first morning and I was entering a on ramp to get on the high from my neighbor and almost got plowed over due to not being able to properly accelerate to highway speeds while entering the ramp. I had a technician check the issue and was told it has to due with the �secondary air injection valve� failing. After about four days of research I found this is a common problem it not just my vehicle but multiple years and motor sizes. Toyota apparently covered certain year models/vine but when calling regarding mine they said my vehicle wasn't covered evening though there are thousand of consumers having the exact same issue. This issue is also an expensive repairs cost upwards to $3,500-$400 to fix. Toyota is aware of the problem and apparently doesn't care that it also cause safety issues with the vehicle not having proper power to operate. This is a manufacturing defect plan and simple.

I was coming off an entrance ramp merging into traffic on to a 4 lane highway when my check engine light, trac off light and blinking 4 loe came on. The engine went into limp mode greatly reducing my power and it felt like my steering control got loose. I had to pull off the road to keep from being run over by faster traffic. I was able to make it to the next off ramp and get to a mechanics shop. They hooked up a analysis computer and came back with maintenance code p2432, secondary air pumps and secondary air pump valves. Upon further research of this issue I have found out that this has been an ongoing issue with Toyota Tundras going back to 2007 models. The warranty has been extended on 2007 - 2010 models but not newer models which are still experiencing the same problem. My vehicle is considered low mileage for a 2012 with only 79,786 miles. I feel this problem constitutes a potentially dangerous safety hazard due to the drastic reduction in power which could cause an accident depending on when the parts in question fail.

P0418 secondary air injector relay a malfunction. Check engine light is on.

I have a 2012 Tundra with 135k and 4. 6 liter. I also see several other complaints here with my same problem. My experience is that after sudden jump in my rpms from 2 to 4 and accelerator malfunctioning, I carefully and very slowly drove my truck to the dealership this morning due. I had slow/no acceleration, check engine light on and traction off. In last couple of months, have had to pull over turn it off and back on for it to go again once before. I agree that the fix needs to be extended to all year models and engine size Tundras, not just up to 2011. Also agree that these defects could result in a fatal situation if not corrected across the board.

With only 81,719 miles on my truck I had to have the air injection pump & valves replaced on 3/29/2019. I was informed that this was a common problem which had been recalled in the 2011 & 2010 models. If a recall is made within a year of the part being replaced I will be reimbursed. I work from home and the truck has only been driven for leisure or chores for the past 3 years. It was driven daily in las vegas from 2015-2017 and in orlando from 2012-2015. There have been no other engine problems. In January of 2019 the check engine light came on and the car was performing with less power but everything worked okay. Instead of driving an 8 cylinder truck it felt like driving a full size truck with only 4 cylinders. The issue happened overnight. Everything was fine and then the performance just went south. I waited 2 months to have it looked at because I rarely drive and because it still ran but with less power. I was told by Toyota that if another mechanic fixed the problem and a recall came later then I would not be reimbursed. After I was informed that this would more than likely become a recall I moved forward with using Toyota's service department. My goal is to find out if there is a recall pending for the 2012 Tundra air injection system or at least find out if the problem is widespread. If I was taken advantage of by a dealership using the recall as a tactic to get my business I want to make sure to let others know so I hope someone from the NHTSA will follow up.

Check engine light with error code p2433 0160-11 failure of air injection pumps I was getting on the highway, the engine light comes on, then the truck goes into "limp mode. " the lane I was in merged to the left. I needed to accelerate to avoid a vehicle coming up on my left, but there was no power due to being in "limp mode. " the vehicle coming up behind me had to slam on his brakes and I swerved off the shoulder. This could have been a very bad accident if there was a concrete barrier in front of me. This is a known malfunction and should be a recall item. Toyota has publically said this is a warrantable repair up to 150,000 miles on 2011 model year Tundras. I have the exact same problem on my 2012 (which was built in 2011) but Toyota is not willing to cover the repair. I will now be out of pocket $3400 if I want to keep driving my truck.

Check engine light and trac control lights came on around 72,000 miles. Truck started to be sluggish and lose power. The truck is in a constant 'limp' mode and fails to properly accelerate. It is definitely a safety issue as it causes unsafe conditions when trying to accelerate into a traffic lane. Took it to dealer and it is an issue with the secondary air injection valves and pumps. Dealer quoted me $2184. 25 to fix. Not currently covered under warranty. Toyota has addressed this issue with other years and models but for some reason has excluded the 2012 Tundra. I have contacted Toyota on multiple occasions and they refer me to NHTSA to file a complaint. Same issues reported for the 2012 Toyota Tundra reference NHTSA id numbers: 11129958 11129497 11128204 11109923 11104774 11076034 11075528 11065298 11002406 10994136 10926200 10567001 10489030 how many complaints have to be filed before Toyota corrects the issue?.

In evening hours December 2017 I started my truck and the traction control light, check engine light, and flashing 4 lol was on. Drove home and had corrodied battery terminal. Reset lott and went away. On February 23th, 2018 my wife started truck and all three lifts were on again. Made a appointment with Toyota dealership and they stated had weak air injection pump and closed switch valve. They wrote cause of high water. Drove off the lot and the logs came on again. I've not even own d my truck for two years and never had it through high water. Toyota told me it was not under warranty for the air system, because my truck is a 2012. The cost to fix this was $3,000 dollars. On way home my truck was in limp mode and I barely was able to make it up a hill. Now I'm out of a truck for work and can barely drive across town. There is numerous reports of the air injection system failing and no one has opened a investigation.

Check engine light illuminated as I departed my driveway. I called Toyota service to schedule an appointment which occurred three days later. Toyota service department determined that the air pump, which is part of the emissions system, failed. I was advised the truck could not be driven. As of today (12/17/12) the part has still not arrived at boch Toyota south. Will the defective air pump cause premature failure of the catalytic converter?.
