Battery Problems of Toyota Tundra

2007 Toyota Tundra v-8, 5. 7 l. 4 lo light blinks, vsc light blink, check engine light on continuously all three of these lights are coming on. I can take my battery off and they reset. Per Toyota disconnect battery and it will re set. The truck will kick you down to 40 mph or slower when this happens even if you are running 60 at the time. Was told the problem was my secondary air intake. And a tire sensor problem. But that doesn't explain the sudden surges in motor or dieing for no reason. Talked with Toyota and they said they would fix it. To date not done. This has happened for the past 2 months. Have to disconnect my battery several times a day just to drive my truck. I have almost been hit more than 3 times due to this problem. Went to pull out to cross 3 lanes of traffic and it kicked down, had the gas pedal floored and the truck would barely move. My truck now has 40,000 miles and it still is not fixed. My a/c went out, said it was the fuse, what about the blower motor that has never worked right, or the truck wants to die all the time, electronic start wont work was told my battery was no good yet they won't honor the battery because it is now out of their warranty due to them taking so long to get it in and having me to disconnect the battery all the time. Toyota called to day and said my truck would be done in a couple hours, then less than a hour later they said it wouldn't be done because they had ordered the wrong parts and that I would need to bring them a battery.

Battery drains with all electrical components shut off. If vehicle left sitting much over one week it will completely drain the battery to the point that it will no longer hold a charge. I've replaced the battery 5 times in one year and finally put a quick disconnect on the negative battery post. I've had Toyota look at it twice and they say there is nothing wrong.

I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra truck 5. 7 v8 extended cab 4x4 my wife and I drove from chandler az to idaho ,then to yellowstone, then back to salt lake and then to phoenix az till then ever thing was great the truck ran very well. We coming down interstate 17 from flagstaff to phoenix about 3/4 of the to phoenix. I was traveling at the speed limit at 75 mph and had just punched the accelerator pedal to pass a car while going up hill. The accelerator pedal went down to the floor and would not release back as normal . The truck proceed to accelerate to 90 mph and at this point I again pushed 5-6 times on the accelerator pedal to have it release but it continued to go faster to 100 mph at this point I knew we in deep trouble and danger. I was pushing hard on the brake and trying to move from the left lane in traffic at night to the right lane to try and stop the truck . I got to the right lane and to the shoulder and hit the emergency brake and was stamping hard on the break pedal and trying to shift out of gear to neutral . In the panic I am not sure what all happened but the truck lunged forward very hard then died / engine stopped . I stared the engine and tested the accelerator pedal and it seemed to be fine , I checked for the logical things like the heavy rubber floor mat, had it got pushed up on the pedal but this was not the case as it was 4 inches away and it has rubber knobs or studs that push into the carpet and will not slide also my left foot was firmly planted on the mat at all times . No way that mat was the problem. There was no dirt etc as the accelerator has a heavy spring and the pedal is 3-4 inches off the carpet. I do not feel safe driving this as it scared us a lot and we have lost confidence in this truck and Toyota. Also, the battery shorted out internally. Updated 11/13/09.
