Consumer Description

MY 2012 TOYOTA TACOMA PRERUNNER 2WD HAS 54,640 MILES. I JUST GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "TRAC OFF" LIGHT YESTERDAY. MY TRUCK WOULD ACCELERATE TO JUST 25 MPH WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND TOP SPEED WAS AROUND 50 MPH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER THIS KNOWN PROBLEM UNDER THE STANDARD 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. AUTOZONE RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AND CAME UP WITH TROUBLE CODES P2440 AND P2442. THESE ARE TIED TO THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM AND SWITCHING VALVES. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WOULD COST ME CLOSE TO $2000 TO REPAIR. I PAID $30,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW JUST 4 YEARS AGO. THIS NEEDS TO BECOME A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SO THAT A SAFETY RECALL IS ISSUED FOR TOYOTA TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN DEFECT FOR FREE.
