2006 Toyota Tundra Engine cooling Problems

“I started my vehicle and began to drive down the street. My truck light came on and I almost got into an accident because I lost power. I took it to repair shop and got the code of 2445. When I talked to Toyota I was told that it is a faulty air pump and 3 valves for the air operated injector system a $3500 dollar repair. I was told that moisture gets into the pump which causes the pump to send insulation into the valves. This sends the vehicle into limp mode causing a loss of power. I'm lucky I was not on the interstate or it may have killed me. …”

“2006 Toyota Tundra 24,00 miles a month a go the truck would not come to a stop at a stop sing. The engine revved, I had my foot on the brake the truck started hopping I had the brake pushed so hard. It was very brief. 3/18/08 I was getting on the interstate. When I let off of the throttle the truck kept accelerating road the brake to slow it down for 20 miles before it stopped 3/19/08 it did the same thing when I took it to the dealer for about 6 miles. The dealer could not duplicate the problem.”

“2006 Toyota Tundra, v8 when the vehicle is started the idle goes to a high rate of RPM. If you place the vehicle in drive, it will lurch forward if the brakes are not firmly pressed. The RPM is higher in the winter. The dealer states, that this is normal and a part of the computer control system. I consider this a potential hazard. The problem has been evident since I purchased the new vehicle in 2006.”

“The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle would not accelerate after being stopped at a light. The vehicle was driven to an authorized dealer in limp mode where the contact was informed that the failure was the result of water intruding into the engine air intake system. The dealer also stated that the intake manifold would need to be removed, the upper half of the engine would have to be dismantled, and the valves would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000. The VIN was unavailable.”
