NHTSA Complaint #10695399 — 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA

DIDN'T NOTICE TILL AFTER A MILE OF DRIVING BUT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSC, AND 4LO WERE FLASHING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 50 MILES PER HOUR. UNFORTUNATELY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED AND I TOOK IT IN TO AUTO SHOP TO GET THE CODES SCANNED TO PROVIDE TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. IN ORDER TO GET HOME I HAD TO GET THE CODES CLEARED OUT TO GET IT OUT OF LIMP MODE BUT I DROVE IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND PROVIDED THE CODES AND NECESSARY INFORMATION. UNFORTUNATELY THEY NEEDED TO GET THE CODES OFF THEMSELVES I EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A 2007 AND 2008 TUNDRA ? TSB 032908 BUT THEY COULDN'T VERIFY THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS TO BRING IT IN WITHOUT RESETTING THE CODES. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY ALMOST A MONTH LATER. I'M TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP OTHER THAN THE INITIAL ONE AS TOWING CHARGES WOULD BE OUTRAGES. I HOPE TOYOTA CAN GET HIS CORRECTED FOR OTHERS REGARDLESS IF YOU HAVE THE CODES OR NOT IT SHOULD BE A MANDATORY NOTICE FOR ALL TOYOTA TUNDRA OWNERS SO YOU DO NOT GET STRANDED FAR FROM A DEALERSHIP OR EVENTUALLY HAVE THAT ISSUE AS IT IS PROVIDED ONLY IF YOU HAVE UP TO 150K MILES OR 10YEARS FROM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. *TR
