“I was driving and out of nowhere my engine light comes on. I take it to auto zone to do a quick check and I was informed that it is my injection pumps that are bad. I did research and in the past Toyota has had to recall for this exact problem on the exact vehicle but it was for a different year. I called Toyota and they said my vehicle year does not fall into the recall but I'm sure that it is the exact thing.”

I lost power steering and power brakes. After eventually pulling the wheel with much effort and using the emergency brake I was able to get the truck off to the side of the road.

NHTSA complaint #11362059, filed 2020-09, 58,000 miles“Toyota dealer and Toyota technical support are unable to fix the problem associated with t-sb-0058-13. This is the second time within 3 months or so that I have taken my 2013 Toyota Tundra in for this fix. Fuel economy drops on average of 30-40%. Toyota refuse to acknowledge that this is an issue, and is refusing to cover costs associated with fixing this recurring problem. This has been stated as a software gliche, and there are no parts to replace. Hard starts, rough idle, and reduction in fuel economy can only be fixed by reprogramming the ECM. …”
