Consumer Description

2012 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE VEHICLE HAS CODES P2440, P2441, P2442 RELATING TO THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM (SAIS) VALVES BEING STUCK OPEN/CLOSED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 TACOMA VEHICLES AND SEVERAL YEARS FOR TUNDRA VEHICLES. FOR THE TUNDRA, TOYOTA INSTITUTED A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE SAIS. WITH THE VEHICLE HAVING ONLY 47,391 MILES, IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT THE SAIS WOULD HAVE ISSUES OR FAILURES ESPECIALLY BEING A TOYOTA. SINCE THE TRUCK IS IN LIMP MODE AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, IT WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. BETWEEN THIS ISSUE AND A NOISE AND PULLING PERIODICALLY FROM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL/DRIVETRAIN, WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE.
