Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System problems of the 2013 Toyota Tundra

On two different occasions I was driving my Tundra on the freeway at approx. 70 mph. My truck lost power and I almost caused accidents on both instances since I could not accelerate past 40 mph. I had to manage my way out of the freeway to a safe place. 2two diagnostics were performed and I received codes p0418, p1604, c1241, p2445, p2441. I was told by the Toyota dealership that there was a problem with a faulty secondary air injection system pump and other components related to the system and I was provided a repair cost of over $3,000 dollars. I was later informed, and I discovered through research, that Toyota had installed faulty/defective air pumps in thousands of Tundras 2013's like the one that I own. I reached out to corporate office but they stated that my VIN number somehow did not "qualify" as one of the affected pickups. My Tundra only has 60k miles and I use it to commute from and to work basically. I perform routine maintenance. There is obviously a problem with a defective secondary air pump system that Toyota refuses to fix. My truck is a liability on the road and this is my only means of transportation. It looses power and the check engine light activates. Toyota recalled thousands of vehicles like mine and fixed them after they acknowledged that they had placed faulty air pump systems. My truck is a potential possible cause for an accident since it unpredictably looses power on the freeway. I have not received a solution from headquarters/corporate office to repair my truck at no price since it is affected by their faulty pumps. They did offer $750 dollars towards the cost of parts, meaning that I have to come out with over $2000k out of pocket. I need Toyota to take responsibility and fix my truck.

My 2013 Toyota Tundra truck ( 74,734 miles) suddenly had engine failure while driving down an incline at 48 mph. I lost power steering and power brakes. After eventually pulling the wheel with much effort and using the emergency brake I was able to get the truck off to the side of the road. I turned the key and the engine started right away and I was able to drive again but only at a reduced speed of 40 mph or less ( it's called "limp" mode) my mechanic diagnosed it as a secondary air injection pump failure. Upon investigating this on several Tundra owner message boards, I find that this is a common failure Tundra trucks at around 75000 miles. The Toyota dealer confirmed that this has been a common problem and looked up my VIN number to see if it qualified for a warranty extension program that Toyota has offered for some 2012 and 2013 Tundra trucks. Unfortunately my VIN number was a few numbers beyond the extension program. Had my wife been driving the truck when this happened, I am not so sure she would have had the strength to safely bring the truck under control and get it off the road with no power steering or power brakes. I want Toyota to extend the warranty on this faulty part before someone gets into a serious accident. They have obviously admitted there is a problem with this part and should extend it to all Toyota truck owners with this particular problem. Not just a select few.

Truck stopped excellerating. Took to mechanic and was told it was in safe mode due to the air injection values had water in them. It will cost $2336. 00 to fix it. This should be recalled.

The air injection pump is defective and allows condensation and or moisture which leads to totally failure. I have already spent 1100. 00 dollars for one side now the otherside is failing. . This failure caused the truck to lack any get up when pulling out into traffic. It wants to stall.

I was driving and out of nowhere my engine light comes on. I take it to auto zone to do a quick check and I was informed that it is my injection pumps that are bad. I did research and in the past Toyota has had to recall for this exact problem on the exact vehicle but it was for a different year. I called Toyota and they said my vehicle year does not fall into the recall but I'm sure that it is the exact thing.

Air injection pump and valve has a history of failure in Toyota Tundras. . Their was a recall up until 2011 on Tundras. I have owned this vehicle for 9 months. I took my vehicle to price leblanc Toyota in baton rouge louisiana , and to replace these parts and labor is gonna be $2600 dollars. These parts are defective as the dealers keep them in stock because of so many failures and consumers are having to pay this huge charge. I have spoke with Toyota corporation and they refuse to replace. With the failure of this part when u are driving the vehicle stalls upon acceleration. This is dangerous when u are pulling out or merging in traffic. . As of now I cannot afford 2600 dollars in repairs. Thank you.
