CRUISE CONTROL RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING. WORKS PERFECTLY FOR A FEW DAYS THEN QUITS. SOMETIMES THE CRUISE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL STILL DOES NOT FUNCTION. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE STEERING COLUMN. SOMETIMES WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED LOCK TO LOCK THE CRUISE CONTROL THEN OPERATES NORMALLY. LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS THIS MAY BE THE "CLOCK GEAR" WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA. AFTER THE BED LINER WAS REMOVED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BED OF THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT NO ASSISTANCE COULD BE PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES A PROBLEM WITH THEIR AIR INTAKE VALVE AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE WARRANTY IS TOO SHORT, TOO LITTLE MILES, AND ONLY COVERS THE REPAIR ONE TIME. MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 3RD TIME EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIM THAT THEIR REPAIR FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME, AND CLAIMS NO ONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM A SECOND TIME (ALTHOUGH I HAVE).
2008 TUNDRA MAKES A CLUNK/THUMP NOISE WHEN STOPPED AT SIGN/LIGHT AND SLOWLY ACCELERATING. NOT CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. CAUSED BY OTHER ISSUES THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY TOYOTA. ISSUES STARTED AT 110,000 MILES. TOYOTA PLEASE HELP AS THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY THE CONSUMERS.
THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND AN ENGINE CODE OF P2440 WAS READ. P2440 INDICATED THAT THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM SWITCHING VALVE BANK 1 WAS STUCK OPEN. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF THIS REPAIR.

80,300 MILES. JUNE 2, 2016 REMOVED MY BED LINER TO CLEAN OUT FROM HAULING A LOAD OF TOPSOIL. DISCOVERED RUSTING/BUBBLING ON THE FLOOR SURFACE. 2007-2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK BED FLOOR RUST TSB ISSUED 110/17/12. MY VIN FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY BUT IT FALLS PAST THE 60 MONTH/UNLIMITED MILES CORROSION WARRANTY. I KEEP MY TRUCK IMMACULATE AND VERY WELL MAINTAINED....HENCE THE BED LINER. IF I WOULD HAVE TREATED MY TRUCK DIFFERENTLY AND NOT PROTECTED THE BED WITH THE BED LINER, I WOULD HAVE DISCOVERED THE RUST SOONER AND PROBABLY BEEN COVERED. PENALIZED FOR TAKING CARE OF MY TRUCK. THE LOCAL DEALER TRIED VERY HARD TO GET TOYOTA TO COVER THE REPAIR BUT THE TOYOTA REPS WOULD ONLY OFFER $2000 TOWARD A POTENTIAL $13000 REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN A TOYOTA CUSTOMER SINCE 1990 AND I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA. THIS ISSUE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH CUSTOMER NEGLECT...IT'S NEGLECT BY TOYOTA WHO WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. AS FAR AS THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, THE RUST IS CONCENTRATED WHERE THE BED IS CONNECTED TO THE FRAME. IF I DID NOT DISCOVER THIS, IT COULD POTENTIALLY SEPARATE FROM THE TRUCK FRAME WHILE DRIVING/HAULING A HEAVY LOAD AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. TOYOTA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THAT APPARENTLY.

CODE 2440. CONTROL VALVE STUCK IN AIR INJECTION PUMP. FAILED FOR THE 2ND TIME UPON STARTUP. FIRST FAILED AT 68K MILES EARLY 2013. TOYOTA REPLACED IT FOR FREE. THEY'VE HAD SO MANY FAIL THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YR, 150K MILES. THEN IT JUST FAILED AGAIN AT 154K MILES. THEY WON'T WARRANTY THE 2ND ONE BECAUSE IT'S 4K MILES OUT. EVEN THOUGH THE PART ONLY HAS 86K MILES ON IT. COST IS $2100 FROM THE DEALER! 1200 OF THAT IS JUST THE PARTS. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS PART IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MINUTES OF OPERATION ON A COLD START. IT PREHEATS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER SO IT WORKS BETTER. THE EPA SHOULD BE EXEMPTING MINOR DISCREPENCIES IN THEIR EMISSIONS LAWS WHILE WORKING WITH MANUFACTURERS TO DEVELOP SENSIBLE SOLUTIONS. IN THE MEANTIME WE GET STUCK WITH COMPANIES THAT DO A SHODDY JOB DESIGNING THE SYSTEM, PLACE IT IN A TERRIBLE LOCATION REQUIRING MANY HOURS TO DO THE REPLACEMENT, AND THEN ARE BOUND BY LAW (IN MY STATE) TO MAINTAIN THE EQUIPMENT. THE TRUCK IS IN LIMP MODE AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.....GUESS I HAVE TO SHELL OUT THE CASH. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE TRUCK FORUMS AND EXPERIENCING THE PART TO FAIL TWICE FIRSTHAND, IT'S OBVIOUS THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. THE CSR FROM TOYOTA ACTED LIKE THEY DID ME A FAVOR BY "VOLUNTARILY" EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 150K MILES. NO COMPANY "VOLUNTARILY" DOES THIS. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER HAVING THEM ISSUE A PROPER RECALL, EXEMPTING THE AFFECTED MAKE/MODEL YEARS FROM EMISSIONS STANDARDS FOR A FAILED SYSTEM WHICH WOULD ALLOW OWNERS TO BYPASS THE SYSTEM LEGALLY FOR ABOUT $150 IN PARTS (HARNESS & VALVE PORT BLOCKING PLATES), OR PRESSURING TOYOTA TO EXTEND WARRANTY COVERAGE TO THE PART (NOT THE TRUCK) IF IT FAILS IN THE SAME WAY. A $2000+ FIX ON A NON-ESSENTIAL COMPONENT SHOULD NOT BE A 75K MILE RECURRING COST.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT (POWERED) SUDDENLY, RANDOMLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFTS POSITIONS BY A VERY NOTICEABLE AMOUNT. THE MOVEMENT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD CLUNK/THUNK NOISE THAT IS VERY UNNERVING TO BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER. IN FACT, WE ARE STARTING TO WONDER IF THE SEAT MAY JUST COMPLETELY DISCONNECT FROM THE BODY WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. IF YOU WERE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE SENSATION OF UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT AND NOISE, I SUSPECT THE SAME THOUGHT WOULD CROSS YOUR MIND AS WELL. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON SOME TUNDRA MODELS AND ON MANY OTHER TOYOTA MODELS. SEE TUNDRATALK.NET, TOYOTANATION.COM, AND TUNDRAHEADQUARTERS.COM. THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AFTER THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN 15 - 30 MINUTES. THE LONGER THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN, THE MORE FREQUENTLY THE ISSUE MANIFESTS. THE SLIGHTEST CHANGE IN ACCELERATION OR SHIFT IN DIRECTION SEEMS TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.
SIGNIFICANT RUST AROUND BED BOLTS. NO OTHER RUST ON BODY, OR UNDERNEATH BED, NO RUST ON CHASSIS. NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON TRUCK. SEEMS TO BE SOFTBALL SIZE BUBBLES IN A PATTERN ON BED ONLY. IF NOT FIXED AFRAID BED WILL COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING OVER ROUGH TERRAIN OR IN A MINOR ACCIDENT.

DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE FRICTION LEVER INTERACTS WITH THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSIDE THE PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY, THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE LEVER MAY BECOME SMOOTH DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IN THIS CONDITION, IF CONDENSATION OCCURS ON THE SURFACE, AS MAY OCCUR FROM HEATER OPERATION (WITHOUT A/C) WHEN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COLD, THE FRICTION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS OPERATED MAY INCREASE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING HARDER TO DEPRESS, SLOWER TO RETURN, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY BECOME HARD TO DEPRESS, SLOW TO RETURN TO IDLE, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2010 PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAN GET STUCK IN THE WIDE OPEN POSITION DUE TO ITS BEING TRAPPED BY AN UNSECURED OR INCOMPATIBLE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A STUCK OPEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN VERY HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: TOYOTA FILED AN AMENDED DEFECT REPORT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2009, STATING THAT DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, ALTER THE SHAPE OF THE FLOOR SURFACE UNDER THE PEDAL. THESE CHANGES ADDRESS THE RISK OF PEDAL ENTRAPMENT DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH THE FLOOR MAT. REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN APRIL 2010 AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY MODIFIED PEDAL WITH THE NEW PEDAL IF DESIRED. ALSO, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY GENUINE TOYOTA OR LEXUS ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS WITH REDESIGNED ALL-WEATHER MATS, OR REPURCHASE THE PREVIOUS MATS FROM OWNERS WHO DO NOT WANT THE NEW ONES. ADDITIONALLY, SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS WILL BE INSTALLED ON CAMRY, AVALON AND LEXUS ES 350, IS 350 AND IS 250 MODELS THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE BRAKE OVERRIDES THE ACCELERATOR IN THE EVENT BOTH BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE APPLIED.
