    I own a 2005 toyota tundra with just 60,000 miles. In 2014 toyota was allowed to put a band-aid on a problem that needed a tourniquet - applying a rust converter coating to a frame that, because of their failure to manufacturer it properly, deserved replacing. I was told by toyota (case number [xxx]) that because the previous owner took the band-aid they were no longer liable until the government forced them via…

    Secondary injection pump trigger a limp mode which is extremely dangerous on the highway.

This repair is costing toyota owners in excess of $3,000.00 with vehicles having having less the 100k miles. This is obviously an emission issue that toyota should address, the u.s.

    Toyota has extended its warranty for the air injection pump and air switching valves on 2007-2010 tundras. The extension is for 10 years or 150,000 miles from first use. I have a 2005 tundra that has a failing air injection system. I am within the mileage range of first use . The truck has the same air injection system as the tundras within the warranty extension, but toyota refuses to honor the warranty extension…

    Check engine light came on and the truck lost power. The engine revved like it was trying to go, but had no more forward momentum. The speed at the time of the incident was 50mph. Hooked up the computer and the error code read that it is the air switching valve. Error codes p-1442, switching valves are stuck closed, #2 in bank 1 and #2 in bank 2 of the secondary air inspection system. Same issue on 2007-10 tundra…
