NHTSA Complaint #11047192 — 2012 TOYOTA TACOMA

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRAC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND NEXT THING THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHILE PULLING OUT ON TO A HIGHWAY HEADING UP HILL I HAD NO POWER. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT KILLED BY THE 50 PLUS MILE PER HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER MAKING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WAS ABLE TO GET INTO A PEP BOYS WHERE THEY CODED THE SECONDARY AIR SYSTEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE KILLED ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I PLAN TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY AFTER FINDING OUT THEY ONLY COVER THEIR MOST EXPENSIVE VEHICLES WITH THEY EXACT SAME SYSTEM. I GUESS 35K ON A TRUCK WASN'T ENOUGH. THE PART COST ME $770 DOLLARS AND I'M NOT SURE IF ITS SAFE BECAUSE I HAD TO DO JOB MYSELF BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD $2000.00 FOR 2 HOURS WORK.
