NHTSA Complaint #10862930 — 2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA

MY 2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DRIVEN TO A NEARBY O' REILLY'S FOR A CODE CHECK. THE CODE WAS P0418 WHICH IS THE AIR INDUCTION PUMP WHICH IS AN EMISSION'S CODE. THE TRUCK THEN WENT INTO A LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHICH MEANT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO GO ANY FASTER DUE TO AN EMISSION'S CODE PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO A LIMP MODE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS AIR INJECTION PUMP FOR THE 2007-2010 TUNDRA MODELS. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO HELP COVER THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON TUNDRAS. I READ THAT THE SAME FAULTY AIR PUMP WHICH ALLOWS MOISTURE TO ENTER IS STILL BEING USED IN MY 2011 TUNDRA MODEL. THIS IS A $2,200 REPAIR WHICH TOYOTA SHOULD COVER SINCE IT HAS OCCURRED TO THEIR EARLIER MODELS AND MINE AS WELL. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY REPAIR, BUT ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOUR VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ON AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM.
