2005 Toyota Tundra: check engine light

Filed Oct 8, 2020 · Engine, Seat belts · 275,600 miles · TN

At speeds above 50+ the rear end constantly rumbles and shakes the whole truck. And when pressing the break it does as well. Seat belt locks when trying to put it on. Parking brake doesn't work. Whining and squeaky noise in the rear end. Clunking noise at lower speeds. Engine light is on & won't go off. Tire pressure sensor doesn't work. Rear end seal leak. Driver side window feels like it's gonna fall out. Truck is way too loud and everything is stock. Ac/heat being on makes loud noise.

I had a check engine light that came on which, after checked by a computer, was determined to be part number 1445 (p1445). I researched it out and discovered that this is a common problem with the toyota tundra 2005 models, yet toyota would not cover the cost nor did they care unless I was willing to pay for it. P1445 is for the secondary air injection system valve #2 stuck closed. Is there any way I can be reimbursed by toyota for having to pay for the replacement of a part that many have had the same problem with? This is clearly a faulty part put into the 2005 toyota tundras and toyota should be required to pay for it's replacement.

Check engine light came on and the truck lost power. The engine revved like it was trying to go, but had no more forward momentum. The speed at the time of the incident was 50mph. Hooked up the computer and the error code read that it is the air switching valve. Error codes p-1442, switching valves are stuck closed, #2 in bank 1 and #2 in bank 2 of the secondary air inspection system. Same issue on 2007-10 tundra and was recalled due to defect. My truck has the same issue, has under 150,000 miles, and has been very well maintained. Told by toyota that it is not a recall at this time and if there is one in the future, they will reimburse us our costs. Driving down a two lane highway with 18 wheelers behind you and losing power, going 65-70mph, is going to cause a wreck. I don't know how toyota would reimburse me my husband.

January 28th (2014) I was into york's toyota for diagnosis of a check engine light and rough idle problem. The clerk at york's toyota advised me of (2) recalls on my pickup truck (ball joint & spray frame) and said "we will call you to schedule when to have these completed at no cost to you". February 6th while driving southbound on interstate 95 at the posted speed of 75mph in sherman maine the front driver's side of my 2005 toyota tundra buckled. After pulling to side of the highway I got out of the truck and saw the front driver's side ball joint appeared to have sheered off causing damage to tie rod end, other front steering components and some front quarter panel damage. I called the maine state police which completed an accident report. York's has refused to pay for the repairs to the vehicle. My insurance refuses to pay because the cause of the accident was a recalled part. Toyota corp in california has refused to pay for all the repairs to my vehicle stating the ball joint recall was for premature wear and since my truck has 150,000miles it doesn't qualify. This is completely unacceptable. A recall was issued and toyota is refusing to fix the recalls and the damages.

Dash light "check engine" came on and when the dealer informed me that it was this emission control system listed above ( secondary air injection system switching valve no. 2 bank 1 and bank 2) that would cost over $3,000 I went online and saw many tundras and sequoias with exactly the same problem and that the 2007 to 2009 tundras with the exact part numbers were warranted for 10 years, it tells me this is a known problem, so why is there not a recall?

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 91,000.

Engine light came on. After having codes read, problem was identified as the air induction pump. The issue is that when this pump goes out, it puts the engine in a "limp" mode, which causes the vehicle to not have adequate acceleration to merge with traffic. This is a safety issue as drivers do not know that the "limp" mode occurs when this happens. Needless to say, the replacement part cost over $1300. I would think a part of that expense should last longer than a little over 50,000 miles.

The truck was brand new and only had 4,500 miles on it when the check engine light came on and the truck started acting funny. Toyota said they were not going to fix it and I was never given a replacement under lemon law when this happened. I had just got the truck in october 2005 and in december 2005 it started acting up. I am a trained mechanic and I know this should not happen to a new vehicle. I want toyota to refund me the money I put down on the truck, which is around 8 grand.

My toyota tundra 2005, v8, 4.7l, 4x4(83,000 miles) lost its transmission power while driving on the highway and the check engine light came on. The transmission power came on and off all the way home. Lunging each time it dropped off and came on. I brought it to the dealer who told me I needed a new transmission at a cost of $4000.00. It was displaying p0986 code. The next day brought it to a transmission shop. They found that the wire connector (15 pin) that goes from the transmission to the ECM was corroded and the pins were broken and not making contact. Its design is clearly defective. It is not protected and is located in a place where it is exposed to all the salt and water resulting in the pins being corroded. Information communicated from the computer to the transmission and back is interrupted or inaccurate. I found this information on a website at the same time the independent transmission shop discovered what the problem was. The following site describes the problem very clearly with pictures and descriptions: http://www.techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/tundtran/ I contacted toyota. They gave me a run around with only frustration and stress. I see this problem occurring with all these trucks in any part of the country where it is wet. I feel toyota should pay for the fix and not me. It is a major problem and causes unexpected power lose or transmission failure when driving. Please let me know asap if you want the old part after the new one is installed. It should happen in a few days.
