While pulling a travel trailer with our 2000 Toyota Tundra SR5-V8, we lost power and the check engine came on. After pulling to the side of the interstate, we shut off the engine. After about 5 minutes, we started the engine again, found we had power, but the check engine was still on. We drove another 100 miles to out destination. After several hours, we started the truck again and the check engine light was not on anymore. We had a computer check ran and the code P1121 came up and we were told it would require an accelerator pedal position sensor. We continued to drive the truck for 58 days with no check engine light showing. The check engine light came on again, but went off again.

We own 2000 Toyota Tundra w/55,000 miles. Purchased & serviced by same Toyota dealer. Took for routine service 6/9/08 & concern gas tank leaking. Told us "not worth fixing" Toyota rep came & took pictures. The dealer said per the rep Toyota is going to buy it back. If we need a rental Toyota would pay since it's unsafe to drive. Frame is badly rusted through & pitted. We inspected & found where the frame measured only 65/1000' thick. It's the same safety issue as the 95-00 Tacoma. After 7 weeks waiting & checking, per Toyota the Tundra isn't part of Tacoma buyback. They offered $2,000 toward new or certified Toyota. We're not an isolated case of unsafe rusting on this Tundra. Here's just some comments found in blogs & response to questions & concerns about the 2000 Tundra: -my father was driving his 2000 Tundra when the back end jumped off the road & almost crashed the truck. Come to find out, the spare tire fell off & hit the truck. The tire rolled down the road & almost took out a bunch of cars. We looked under the truck & the whole frame looks like it's about to crumble away' -my Tundra also a 2000 rusted out pretty good around the frame & in between the bed & frame.., had to replace both front & rear bumpers & have the rocker panels sprayed with tough stuff -my father in law has a 2000 Tundra that the frame is rusted out very bad. His truck has less than 60,000 miles... when I looked underneath I couldn't believe how much rust it had on the frame.. - I have about 93K miles on my Tundra'& was told that my frame is rusting so bad I should consider trading it in or selling' -I'm from New Hampshire & have serious frame rot. It's rotted through' I have a 2000 w/83,000 miles.' -I have more rust than I would like on my 2000 with 56K miles' -I have a 2000, w/44000 miles & has just failed state insp. I was told ' my Tundra is worthless to me unless I pay $638 to repair the frame' we did take our truck home and are concerned. This is serious safety issue.
