I have a 2010 Toyota Tundra that has about 10,000 miles on it. About two months ago I started noticing the truck will randomly have a sudden loss of power. It happens mainly when it has been sitting all day. It's kind of scary because when you are pulling out of a parking lot or making a left hand turn the truck will all of a sudden have no power and then it will jolt forward. I have not taken it to the dealer because no indicator lights are coming on and that's usually the only way they know how to fix problems. I have read a few forums that talk about this problem, one guy said he had his truck in and out of the dealer for 4 months and they basically ripped his whole truck apart. They finally came to the conclusion that the wire harness under the dash that goes to the fuel pump was loose and causing the problem. I called Toyota and the dealer and they told me they have not had enough complaints yet but when they do they will probably come out with a fix. I haven't done much since mainly because I don't want the dealer wasting my time and taking my truck apart.

Intermittent fuel pump in 2007 Toyota Tundra 4. 7l v8. Engine would stop running randomly, first at low speed and then eventually at highway speeds (75 mph). Very dangerous! fuel pump replaced after 30 days of stonewalling to include the 'fix' of keeping the gas tank at least 1/4 full. Never detected by the computer; no error codes ever displayed. Similar cases reported on the web with similar responses by Toyota reported. Why isn't this being reported in the media?.

2006 Tundra problem accelerated rapidly away from a traffic light in order to merge with traffic, reaching a speed of 65 to 70 mph at that time. Drove for about two miles, turned into my neighborhood and up my street. Parked truck in driveway, no idiot lights at that time, gauges were normal. After about 20-30 minutes attempted to restart truck. It would crank strongly, begin to start, sputter and die. Attempted several more times, with same result. It acted like it was not getting fuel. After 10-15 minutes of cool down, it still refused to start. Finally managed to get it started by pumping gas pedal and repeatedly cranking. Finally it caught, but required revving to stay running. At last it settled down to an idle. Tundra problems continued: Friday 4/14/06 accelerated gradually away from a stop light down an exit ramp and onto the highway. Truck began hesitating or stumbling for about 30 sec. , then smoothed out. Saturday 4/15 /06 turned right and began accelerating up an incline with full load of passengers. Truck began stumbling; acting like it was not getting fuel, upon coming to a traffic light, it stalled when I came to a stop. No check engine light came on, it was like I had turned off the key. Managed to get it started, and it ran the rest of that evening without further incident. This occurred about 6:00 p. M. And the air temperature was in the low 80s. Tuesday 4/18/06 was driving around the baltimore beltway at speed, when the engine began missing at a speed of approximately 65 mph. This continued for at least two, and possibly three minutes. Traffic suddenly came to a complete stop. At this point, the engine died, and again there was no check engine light, the engine just turned off. 4/19/06 on the drive from owings mills to waldorf, I needed to pass a truck towing a boat. As I pressed on the gas, the engine began to stumble again and would not accelerate.
