NHTSA Complaint #11208428 — 2012 TOYOTA TACOMA

WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO DEFECTIVE SECONDARY INJECTION VALVES BEING STUCK CLOSED/OPEN. THE CODES I HAD FOR THIS ISSUE IS P2440 AND P2442. IN MY CASE THIS ISSUE MADE MY TRUCK GO INTO LIMP MODE WHICH IS OFTEN A LOSS OF POWER IN THE ENGINE AND SOMETIMES A RESTRICTION IN ONE'S ABILITY TO SHIFT THE TRUCK. LUCKILY THE HIGHWAY WAS NOT BUSY AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, BUT IF IT WERE I WOULD BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE A VERY UNSAFE THING TO HAPPEN GOING 70 MPH. THE PARTS DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UNTIL 2022 IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA IS NOT INTERESTED IN RECALLING THESE PARTS EVEN AFTER THEY HAVE KNOWN FOR MANY YEARS THAT THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. I HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND ISSUES WITH THESE PARTS GOING BACK TO 2013.
