Driving at 50 MPH, engine losses power like fuel is cut off. Check engine light comes on, throttle pedal has no response until 3/4 down . Very dangerous as I was in traffic and could not drive the truck. I was told it is a problem with the accelerator pedal position sensor. Cleared code & happened again 2 days later, this time as I was coming to a stop. Vehicle stalled & would not restart - same code - p1121

While driving on a country highway, the drive power of the engine stalled, even though the engine continued. Appears to be a repetative problem with this model of truck.

On 24 nov 09 toyota issued a recall for 2000 tundra pickups, regarding frame corrosion and particularly corrosion on the cross member that holds the spare tire. Although I read about this online, toyota has yet to inform me by mail. On 24 march 2010 I took my truck in to berlin city motors in portland me for an inspection of this problem. They told me that my corrosion was not enough to warrant frame replacement, but that I would be notified of when to return for application of some sort of corrosion inhibiting gunk. Seven months later I heard nothing. I called toyota customer services and began a complaint process. They said that they are still sending out recalls ..almost a year later!!! They claim that they need info from the state of maine regarding legality of applying corrosion inhibiting gunk on safely, and they need "other" permissions. It is my opinion that toyota is stalling on this fairly simple recall, hoping to reduce the problem by attrition of older vehicles. I would appreciate info from the federal safety agency as to why toyota is being allowed to take this long on a project that isn't exactly rocket science.

I have a 2000 toyota tundra and it has a problem that when the car gets hot the engine will stall out and die without warning. It creates no omd ii errors and the check engine light never appears. The ECM fuse blows on occasion but replacing it does not lead to a running vehicle. It fails to start until the engine compartment cools down. There is fire from the spark plugs and there is fuel pressure in the fuel rail. We have replaced all the relays and fuses in the ECM and efi circuits and all fingers are now pointing to the ECM controller itself. We just changed out the fuel pump and are looking at replacement of all the ignition coils (8) and all the fuel injectors (8). But since all of these components seam to be working that would make little since. The recent recall for the ECM on the matrix & corolla indicate that there may have been problems with the manufacture of ECM units for a much longer period of time since my tundra is exhibiting the same problem. This problem has been getting worse for over 5 years now and the toyota dealers and other toyota specialty shops cannot find the problem since there are no engine codes and the fact that it will start and run fine after it cools down. I have been waiting for it to die and not start at all to hope to find the problem.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled. When the vehicle restarted, it began to independently accelerate before stalling a second time. The check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel and shut off immediately after the contact was able to restart the vehicle. The failure persisted intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where the contact was informed that the failure was caused by the throttle assembly. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileages were 200,000.

My 2000 toyota tundra, v8 engine, automatic transmission, has a problem with the accelerator pedal not working when the engine is running. This usually happens in cold weather (below freezing) several times a year, and the check engine dash lamp comes on. This requires that I stop the truck, turn off the engine, wait approximately 15-20 seconds, then restart the engine. Only then can I continue to drive. This situation has resulted in the following: 1. Being stalled in a intersection with a red light and cross traffic coming at me and not being able to move. 2. Entering a high speed highway and not being able to accelerate, and having a semi truck almost rear end me. Then having to stop traffic until I could drive off. The toyota dealer replaced the electronic accelerator mechanism under warranty in 2002, but this did not solve the problem. The dealer said there is no recall for this problem, and they don't know how to fix it. The incidents are recorded on the truck's onboard computer.

I have a 2000 toyota tundra and today, the engine stalled at the first light I stopped at. When I restarted the engine, the truck would not accelerate. It would idle, but there was no response to the gas pedal. Since I was on an incline, I could not go forward so I had to reverse slowly back to a parking lot. When we hooked up the obdii code puller, it came back with a p1121 code. I researched on the internet what this was and found out it has to do with an accelerator pedal position sensor (apps). When I restarted the engine after pulling the code, it appears to be working fine. I do not have a warm and fuzzy feeling about driving the vehicle now. I am glad this occurred at a relatively quiet intersection and not on a busy road or highway or in the middle of nowhere. It seems like this is a pretty common problem on these vehicles and seems to be a potentially dangerous condition you can get yourself into. I am hoping there is a good reason for the sensor in the first place.

(1). I purchased a new 2000 toyota tundra extended cab limited at price toyota in delaware. In february 2009 I observed rust through of bracket from bed to frame visible through rear wheel well. Requested that my wife report this to liberty toyota in nj during routine 5000 mile oil change. She was told that this was "not a problem". (2). In september 2009 truck was again taken to liberty toyota for 5000 mile oil change, purchase of 5 new tires and alignment. Liberty toyota service told my wife that the truck was rusted to the point where they could no longer align the vehicle and no service was performed. Liberty took photos of the underside of the truck and transmitted them to toyota. Approximately two weeks later liberty told my wife that toyota's position was that because of the age and mileage (9 years and 110,000 miles ) that they would do nothing to resolve this issue. (3). In late september 2009 I purchased a 2006 toyota tundra crew cab 4 door tundra limited as a replacement vehicle for my wife a toyota runnemead, nj. On that same occasion the 2000 tundra was put on lift and inspected with a powerful light. Observed various rust through of brackets and at least one fist sized hole through the frame. This was witnessed by the toyota runnemeade sales person, general manager, sales manager, and service manager. All agreed that this was worst case of rust they had seen, and were of the opinion that the truck was not safe to operate. (4). In october 2009 I contacted toyota customer service and received a case number. A few days later I again contacted toyota customer service and was told that "toyota is studying the problem". This sounded like a stall tactic and gave me little hope for any voluntary positive action from toyota. As of today 11 november 2009 I have had no further contact from toyota. (5). I have purchased or helped purchase 5 toyota trucks for my family. Total expenditure approximately $150,000.
