“Check engine light came on and I ask was it a recall on the air injection and secondary air pumps needs to be replaced. Maintence person said it should have showed up on his computer at the shop. I was driving when that check engine light came on and air switching valves.”

NHTSA complaint #11170034, filed 2019-01, 93,635 miles

“The check engine light and the acs light came on while driving. The truck went into a limp mode and would not accelerate properly. I took the vehicle to bob tyler Toyota in pensacola florida. They determined that it was the air injection pump in the emission's system. They stated that the pump had water in it. My extended warranty would not cover the repairs stating it was a known Toyota problem for my vehicle. The warranty company sent me a Toyota service bulletin (t-sb-0160-11). …”

“While driving the check engine light came on and I lost propulsion power resulting in vehicle slowing down and almost creating an accident from behind. I had the vehicle checked via a obd2 code checker which resulted in code p2442. After verifying code, it looks as if it is a faulty air intake. Looking through several sources on the internet, it seems to be a very common problem that Toyota is refusing to acknowledge or repair. Please take this issue into consideration and help the consumer.”

“On sun. 10/11/14, I drove our Tundra on the highway when it lost power. The engine raced and rpms increased, but the speed fell and no acceleration was possible. On a hill, speed fell to about 15 MPH. I was on my way to pick up my horse and trailer; if I had been towing them, it would have been catastrophic especially given the highway speed traffic. It was still dangerous even without the trailer. I turned on my hazard lights and limped off. Check engine lit up. …”

“I purchased my 2011 Tundra quarter end 2010. It has less than 100k miles and is well maintained by the dealer. Late august 2016 the check engine light came on and I took the vehicle to the dealer to have this checked. I learned that I had an issue with the secondary air injection system. The estimated cost of the repair was quoted at $3,360.00. As a long time owner or driver of Toyota vehicles of 35 years, I was shocked in that I had never experienced such issues. I purchase Toyota because I trust the quality, reliability and design. …”
