2012 Toyota Tacoma Electronic stability control Problems

“Abs goes off unexpectedly in low speeds/high speeds...dry/wet conditions...usually on winding roads with grade fluctuations causing vehicle to slide into oncoming traffic. This has been going on since my purchase in 2012. Thankfully I have not been in an accident due to this but lots of close calls. Toyota refuses to resolve this issue, and denys that it happens.”

“At start up check engine and trac off lights were on. Truck had no acceleration and transmission would not shift. I took the car to the dealership and diagnostic codes p2440 and p2442 were detected. Dealer had to replace the air injection system bank 1 and bank 2. During research, I discovered numerous other owners of 2012 Tacoma's complaing about the same issue. Some even lost power while driving. Also, the tundra apparently had a similar issue being reported”

“The ABS actuates prematurely during cornering on freeway on/off ramps and in corners resulting in suspension dive, an under steer condition, and loss of vehicle control. This occurs when the vehicle is in motion at posted speed limits on dry pavement. I have contacted Toyota/been to the dealership several times about this issue with no resolution. They claim that the leveling kit and at tires are to blame. I related that I had this issue with the truck when it was brand new with no modifications.”

“I was driving on the freeway, in light rain. My car randomly engaged a system that slowed my vehicle down. This resulted in my losing traction with the road, my truck began to hydroplane. My truck spun and moved towards the highway median. The median had a v-ditch, my front passenger tire impacted the v-ditch and flipped my vehicle. If it weren't for my seat belt locking and side airbags deploying it may have been a fatal accident. It was a life threatening accident.”

“My 2012 Toyota Tacoma prerunner 2wd has 54,640 miles. I just got a check engine light and trac off light yesterday. My truck would accelerate to just 25 MPH when merging onto the interstate and top speed was around 50 MPH. This is a serious safety issue and Toyota will not cover this known problem under the standard 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Autozone ran the diagnostic scan and came up with trouble codes p2440 and p2442. These are tied to the secondary air injection system and switching valves. The Toyota dealership said this would cost me close to $2000 to repair. …”
