problem #8

Check engine light came on and after scanning Code P2445 'Secondary Air Injection Pump Stuck Off' was the error. Vehicle went into lower power mode, which is very unsafe for highway driving. The Secondary Air Injection Pump issues have plagued Toyota V8's for many years and I had hoped they'd fixed the issue by the 2nd Generation Tundras, I guess not. Dealer replaced the Secondary Air Injection Pump for about $850 and noted that there was moisture in the pump, which caused it to short out - very similar to issues reported by other Toyota V8 owners. Toyota has a 10 year warranty on the Secondary Air Injection Pumps for 2007-2010 Tundras and 2008-2010 Sequoia models - but no other years/models. It's time that Toyota recall these vehicles and fix them properly, or extend the warranty to all years/models.

emissions control pump and valves.it is available for inspection. Truck would only reach 60 mph. pressing the accelerator further causes the truck to slow down. yes dealer diagnosed parts that need replacing. Not inspected by manufacturer or others. see dealer for service light would shine at engine startup for two weeks prior to this problem. I don't know if this pertained to this problem.

Vehicle was diagnosed with having a left rear speed sensor and speed sensor wire was broken due to a piece of plastic part came separated from the wheel. Have all kinds of lights come on dashboard and flash on and off, until sensor is replaced with new at an astronomical rate, which cannot be replaced at this time. Feel that the vehicle should be considered recalled for this issue, as the wire is just hanging there, attached to the wheel underneath and should be fixed and attached somewhere else, where it is not less likely to be pulled or disruptive on the future, by other vehicles like mine is. Should be on a recall list as I do not know if other Toyota owners are experiencing the same problem. The lights on the dashboard just blink off/on continuously, even when it starts and from the time the vehicle stops. Cannot see the speed on the dashboard when you are driving down the road.

I had 2 warning messages appear on the dash whilst driving: 1. trailer brake error (if towing come to a safe stop with manual controls.) contact dealer. 2. pre collision system malfunction. Visit your dealer. The messages would not clear, drove 80 miles (freeway) or so home, truck was running fine, no issues on that side, the following day I had the vehicle towed (aaa) due to the pre collision system failure error... I get a message from the dealer to say I have fuel contamination and it'll cost $1400 plus tank refill, no mention of the error codes that were on! apparently they said due to a mis-fire it throws those codes. I never felt and mis-firing while driving, we picked the truck up, filled half the tank added injector cleaner as a precaution......there were no running problems, the error codes have gone.... a electrical anomaly....
