    A light came on and it started losing power. Took it to the shop and was told it was bad gas. I put the cleaner in it and it didn't fix it. I had some buddies tell me to unplug my battery because it sounded like a safety feature. So i did. The light went off and the truck acted right for a few miles then started doing the same thing. Vehicle was in motion on the highway. My buddies referred to it as a "limp mode" or…

    Please refer to tsb 0160-11. Toyota recognized that inferior quality parts were used as part of their emissions system and wrote this tsb as a remedy. The problem i have is that they continued to use the faulty parts beyond the 2011 model year cut-off in this tsb. My truck is throwing the same engine and emissions codes associated with this tsb. It also forces the engine into a "low power mode" greatly reducing the…

    Secondary air injection pump and secondary air injection switching value causing check engine and trac control lights to come on. I was told by the dealer that the same piece and design was recalled on the 2011 but not the 2012 tundra. It comes on and off but when it is on it feels like that there is a limp mode making it difficult to get up to speed on the highway. The steering feels different which i think is the…

    I traded my 2012 toyota tundra for $17,000.00. Blue book 'trade-in' value was approximately $20,000.00 - $21,000.00 at the time. My truck had low mileage and was in excellent condition, except for the undercarriage rust. I lost $3,000.00 - $4,000.00 in the trade-in.

    I was driving my 212 tundra crewmax and when i reached a traffic light--red, i pressed the brakes and the truck started to pull up and the rpm's went high. Even when i pressed the brakes real hard it was still moving forward. I prompted to put the transmission in park and turned the engine off. Restarted it and shifted into drive, the truck pulled up real fast because the rpm's were high, but in about two or three…
