2012 Toyota Tacoma Engine Problems

“The check engine light and the trac off light came on as I was merging onto the interstate. I immediately stopped the vehicle, pulled over, and took my 2012 Toyota Tacoma with 78,000 miles to the mechanic where I left it overnight for them to look at it in the morning. Running a diagnostic they found code p2443 - secondary air injection switching valve stuck. …”

“I brought truck to Toyota dealership as part of rusted frame recall to be verified. They stated truck was not rusted enough underneath for Toyota to approve recall. That was a couple of months ago. I have recently brought it to a few mechanics to do some work on A/C as the A/C stopped working and that refuse to work on it as the truck is so rusted underneath!! They said it would crumble. Not even worth it.”

“While driving and turning onto a highway, check engine and trac off warning lights came on as I pulled into traffic. Truck went into limp mode so I couldn't accelerate. Oncoming traffic worked around me as I turned on my hazard lights. Secondary air injection system p2440 and p2442 are the error codes associated with the valves stuck open.”

“While commuting to work the engine light and traction control light came on, causing my truck to slow down, very slow. It would not let me accelerate and disabled my progress to around 2000 rpms. This could have been a very serious or a dangerous situation especially if I was towing a load or in a major traffic situation. Codes - 2440 and 2442 were the causes of this scary account.”

“Went on vacation to texas, stopped to gas up and when I went back on interstate I had a dramatic loss of power. Could not keep up enough speed to go speed limit. Air conditioner did not work. At destination a local told me about a repair shop. Cost me a hundred dollars to reset to factory specs. This has happened again four other times. I disconnected battery and reset myself. Now it`s a daily thing.”
