Consumer Description

THE SECONDARY AIR INTAKE SYSTEM GOES OUT FAIRLY QUICKLY. MY VEHICLE IS AT 72,500 MILES. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE WHICH MAKES THE CAR GO A MAXIMUM OF 40MPH. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT WERE TO KICK IN WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. IT IS AN EMISSIONS ITEM, BUT TOYOTA IS NOT COVERING IT UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY.
