Filed May 12, 2010 · Fuel system · 82,469 miles · AL

I was accelerating at around 20 MPH and my truck (2001 tundra v8) felt as if the fuel cut out. I let off the throttle and got back into it and the truck leaped forward as if it received a shot of gas. It accelerated, but the truck would stop accelerating intermittently as I was going down the highway. The cel came on as well.

I have a 2001 toyota tundra that has a ruinous amount of rust on the undercarriage. I have spent thousands on exhaust work and can no longer justify putting money into this truck. The check engine light came on within months of my having purchased the vehicle. After many attempts to repair the problem, the light will go off, but then something else goes wrong with the exhaust system and it comes back on. It's on right now despite my having just gotten it out of the garage a few weeks ago. The heat shield continuously rattles because of the rust. Also, the parking brake line is rusted to the point of being unusable. This is my work vehicle and I'm afraid I'm getting close to being without my truck. I am very disappointed in this truck. If I'm not helped out by this situation, toyota will lose a life-long customer.

Took vehicle to dealer on 11/13/2002 with check engine light on. Dealer performed check and determined 2 02 oxygen sensors were bad. Said they would order them and call me to bring vehicle back in. Check engine light still on continuously. Engine speed rises and falls with no pressure on accelerator. When in gear, sudden engine acceleration causes vehicle to jump forward unexpectedly it is now 12/3/02. Dealer says sensors have not come in. When questioned as to whether this sensor problem is common with all toyota trucks with 4.7 liter v8 engine. The service man was evasive saying there have been some problems. Considering they are having to order a part that is normally stocked at the dealership, and considering the unusual length of time it is taking them to replace the defective sensors on my truck. I am of the opinion that this is a widespread problem with the potential to cause accidents. This problem should warrant a recall of these type vehicles to correct this safety problem. Dt
