Check Engine Light On Problems of Toyota Tundra - part 2

I purchased on 2010 Tundra double cab 4x4 with a 5. 7 v-8 engine on August 1, 2010. On several occasions my 2010 Tundra has shut down while being driven. The first serious safety problem occurred on 08/26/2010 (1,097 miles) while being driven about 10-15 mph. The check engine light came on and the 4x4 lo and rsca lights were flashing while power was lost/reduced to engine/tranmission. On 8/27/2010, the selling dealer checked the connections after receiving codes c1201 and p060a and claimed the vehicle was fixed. The second time was on 09/26/2010 (2,312 miles) I was driving 55-60 mph when the lights came on as before and I lost/reduced power to the engine/transmission almost causing an accident. This time the a local dealer verified that code p060a returned and claimed the cause was a bad ecm processor. They replaced the ecm processor claiming the vehicle was fixed. The third time was on October 31, 2010, (2,480 miles) the vehicle was parked and being warmed up when the check engine light came on. I drove the vehicle then to see if it had the same problem with power loss to the engine. Again there was reduced power to the engine/transmission. Notified Toyota who had the vehicle towed in and they recovered code p1614. This time the dealer claimed the problem was the r&r air assembly stating this was the cause of the problem, replaced it and claimed they had fixed the problem. Toyota corporation and my local dealership both have been informed of this serious safety problem with the engine shutting down while driving. On 11/9/2010, the arbitration the board related that "there have not been an unreasonable number of repairs for the same nonconformity. " therefore, they denied my claim for a new vehicle. An engine shutting down/reduced power to the engine causing loss of control over the vehicle to me is a very serious safety problem.

I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra and it has a problem that when the car gets hot the engine will stall out and die without warning. It creates no omd ii errors and the check engine light never appears. The ecm fuse blows on occasion but replacing it does not lead to a running vehicle. It fails to start until the engine compartment cools down. There is fire from the spark plugs and there is fuel pressure in the fuel rail. We have replaced all the relays and fuses in the ecm and efi circuits and all fingers are now pointing to the ecm controller itself. We just changed out the fuel pump and are looking at replacement of all the ignition coils (8) and all the fuel injectors (8). But since all of these components seam to be working that would make little since. The recent recall for the ecm on the matrix & corolla indicate that there may have been problems with the manufacture of ecm units for a much longer period of time since my Tundra is exhibiting the same problem. This problem has been getting worse for over 5 years now and the Toyota dealers and other Toyota specialty shops cannot find the problem since there are no engine codes and the fact that it will start and run fine after it cools down. I have been waiting for it to die and not start at all to hope to find the problem.

Air injection system failure causes a check engine light to appear and can cause the vehicle to go into "cripple" mode limiting throttle and speed to 40 mph which could be a serious safety concern in some driving conditions. Dealer stated they are "fixing" ~2 vehicles a day and replacing the air injection pumps and valves for a total cost of ~$4000 if the vehicle is not under warranty anymore. In my case, the dealer replaced one pump a week ago and now the second pump has failed ($1100 for each pump). There has not a design change to the pumps or valves in the system with the replacement parts so the failure will happen again in another 30-50k miles. Dealer claims moisture in the system is causing the problems. A quick google search on the problem shows the problem is systemic with 2007+ Tundras and sequoias with the 5. 7l v8. Other manufactures use an air injection system with a much lower cost and there does not seam to be any problems with them.

The problem with my Tundra concerns the engine. Three times since March 2009 the check engine light has come on. Each time I have taken it to the dealer and they agree there is a problem however, the problem is intermittent and they cant duplicate the problem. The problem according to the dealer is a sticking valve in the engine component. The one time I did get it to the Toyota dealer in south dakota, when the problem was still occurring, I was told they didn't have the part so they couldn't fix it. When this problem occurs, the engine on occasion has hesitated and almost caused an accident. This was explained both to the dealer and the consumer rep. ¿ (compliant 0911112241). I was told by the consumer rep. Not to worry, if there was an accident the problem was documented. I was also told their tech rep was working on the problem and would call me back. That was seven days ago and counting. In summary, the Toyota warranty appears to have very limited valve, the consumer rep. Is window dressing, and your safety is optional.

The truck was brand new and only had 4,500 miles on it when the check engine light came on and the truck started acting funny. Toyota said they were not going to fix it and I was never given a replacement under lemon law when this happened. I had just got the truck in October 2005 and in December 2005 it started acting up. I am a trained mechanic and I know this should not happen to a new vehicle. I want Toyota to refund me the money I put down on the truck, which is around 8 grand.

When in gear, sudden engine acceleration causes vehicle to jump forward unexpectedly it is now 12/3/02. Dealer says sensors have not come in. When questioned as to whether this sensor problem is common with all Toyota trucks with 4. 7 liter v8 engine. The service man was evasive saying there have been some problems. Considering they are having to order a part that is normally stocked at the dealership, and considering the unusual length of time it is taking them to replace the defective sensors on my truck. I am of the opinion that this is a widespread problem with the potential to cause accidents. This problem should warrant a recall of these type vehicles to correct this safety problem. Dt.
