My 2013 Toyota Tundra truck ( 74,734 miles) suddenly had engine failure while driving down an incline at 48 mph. I lost power steering and power brakes. After eventually pulling the wheel with much effort and using the emergency brake I was able to get the truck off to the side of the road. I turned the key and the engine started right away and I was able to drive again but only at a reduced speed of 40 mph or less ( it's called "limp" mode) my mechanic diagnosed it as a secondary air injection pump failure. Upon investigating this on several Tundra owner message boards, I find that this is a common failure Tundra trucks at around 75000 miles. The Toyota dealer confirmed that this has been a common problem and looked up my VIN number to see if it qualified for a warranty extension program that Toyota has offered for some 2012 and 2013 Tundra trucks. Unfortunately my VIN number was a few numbers beyond the extension program. Had my wife been driving the truck when this happened, I am not so sure she would have had the strength to safely bring the truck under control and get it off the road with no power steering or power brakes. I want Toyota to extend the warranty on this faulty part before someone gets into a serious accident. They have obviously admitted there is a problem with this part and should extend it to all Toyota truck owners with this particular problem. Not just a select few.

Horn does not work when a road hazard was presented attempted to utilize horn nothing happened when I took to Toyota they said it is the wiring harness from the airbag around the steering column and is not covered under warranty and is not a recall but when I look up online many people for years have had issues with this problem was sent away driving my vehicle which I believe to be unsafe as if I don't have airbags or a horn not sure that my vehicle is legal to be driven at this point I feel that since these are safety issues they should be recalls as it has happened to many people I have only owned my truck since December I picked it up at the very end of December 2019.

Vehicle surges/jumps forward when the gas pedal is barely touched from the stationary/stop position while in drive. I was moving the vehicle about 2ft.this problem caused property damage this morning. This vehicle has had this problem from date of purchase. I reported this to Toyota in 2013. (2nd problem, ) this vehicle goes up to 2500 rpms when I turn down the next street which has a slight decline but the speed doesn't increase. This seems to happen in the morning when it is first used. I think this could be a defective computer module for both problems. (3rd) problem the instrument panel can not be read on a sunny day, you don't know how fast you are going or how much fuel you have, etc. The whole panel could be defective. I reported this problem to Toyota in 2013, they did not show any interest in these problem
