“After only a few months of owning the truck almost every morning when I try to start the truck it took at least 2 cranking cycles to start. It's been a on going thing and now the throttle acts up when I first pull out of the driveway. It doesn't give any code and the dealership can't figure it out. The truck now has 36322 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10567502, filed 2014-03, 9,623 miles“Please refer to TSB 0160-11. Toyota recognized that inferior quality parts were used as part of their emissions system and wrote this TSB as a remedy.

It also forces the engine into a low power mode greatly reducing the ability to accelerate. Lastly, it turns off traction control which affects the stability of the truck. …”
