1 Ignition problem of the 2004 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 09/17/2009

Started truck, connected small trailer to hitch. I noticed lights on trailer not on got out of truck to plug and unplug connector. Lights came on. Entered truck , put foot on brake to put in gear. The engine revved up and the tach. Was fluctuating between 1000 and 6500 rpm without ever touching the accelerator. I turned the ignition to the off position. Scared to restart, I let it sit for five minutes then started engine. Everything ran normal and I proceeded to drive home. This had never occurred before or since this incident. I did not report this to Toyota since the recall models were other than my 2004 Toyota Tundra .

2 Ignition problem of the 2006 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 05/20/2006

05/20/06 driving at approximately 62 mph with cruise control on. Suddenly truck simply shuts off. It was as if key had been turned off. All systems were dead. Drifted over to side of road and came to a stop. After about 20 minutes of continued attempts was able to start truck and returned home. Dealer came with replacement SUV and took truck back to dealership. Have heard nothing since. Suggested they replace computer module, as replacing fuel pump did not eliminate problem.
