3 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2014 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 02/10/2014

I purchased a 2014 Toyota Tundra on 02/04/14. I had driven the truck approximately 4 times and on 02/10/14, with 236 miles, I started the truck to go to work. I went back in my house, as the temperature was around 0 degrees fahrenheit and allowed the truck to run for several minutes. I returned to my truck and left for work. After driving for several miles, the check engine light came on and the truck entered "limp mode. " I was not far from work so I continued to work, driving at a max speed of 40 mph. I contacted the dealer and advised them of the problem. The truck was subsequently towed back to the dealer. On 2/12/14 I picked the truck up from the dealer. I was told it was an aip (air injection pump) failure. I was also told there is no fix, and the problem could happen again in cold climate. After several phone calls to Toyota customer care, I got nowhere. I was told there is a fix in the works, but for now I am left with a truck that may go into limp mode when it is cold out. Living in the north eastern united states, it is cold here from October to mid-March. If this truck were to suddenly enter limp mode when I am attempting to ascend a hill, this could present a safety issue to myself and other motorists, as I would severely be impeding the safe flow of traffic, going 10 mph uphill, without so much as a warning. I feel the sudden reduction in power could greatly reduce the operators ability to safely operate the truck, especial when negotiating traffic. It is extremely disheartening to me to knowing that I bought a $39,000 truck, touted as being among the most reliable and dependable, that may or may not run when the temperature falls. . And after speaking with Toyota, they know it is a problem. .

5 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2000 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 07/17/2003

My oxygen sensors went bad at 37000 miles and I believe this is premature, I know personally of 3 other people that have had problems earlier than that. I believe that it is a pollution issue,because if a recall is not issued, or if Toyota doesn't warranty the item, then most likely people will not replace them every 30000 miles or whenever they go bad.
