Consumer Description
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH ERROR CODE P2433 0160-11 FAILURE OF AIR INJECTION PUMPS I WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN THE TRUCK GOES INTO "LIMP MODE." THE LANE I WAS IN MERGED TO THE LEFT. I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A VEHICLE COMING UP ON MY LEFT, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER DUE TO BEING IN "LIMP MODE." THE VEHICLE COMING UP BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON HIS BRAKES AND I SWERVED OFF THE SHOULDER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A CONCRETE BARRIER IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS A KNOWN MALFUNCTION AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. TOYOTA HAS PUBLICALLY SAID THIS IS A WARRANTABLE REPAIR UP TO 150,000 MILES ON 2011 MODEL YEAR TUNDRAS. I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON MY 2012 (WHICH WAS BUILT IN 2011) BUT TOYOTA IS NOT WILLING TO COVER THE REPAIR. I WILL NOW BE OUT OF POCKET $3400 IF I WANT TO KEEP DRIVING MY TRUCK.
