The contact initially received a recall notice for the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 09V388000(Vehicle Speed Control); the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the recall was serviced. Recently, the contact stated that as his wife was exiting their driveway, the vehicle independently accelerated without warning. The contact's wife turned the vehicle into her yard where she hit four trees and then crashed into a big tree which stopped the vehicle. The air bags deployed once she crashed into the bigger tree.

I have a 5.7l 2007 toyota tundra. It has been raining real bad in texas and the other day the check engine light came on when I was going down the highway and it lost power. I took it and had it checked. I have an error code p0419. I have read multiple instances online and an extended warranty was issues for 10 years 150k miles, but I am out by time, and I only have 88k miles. This is a safety issues as if I was passing someone and lost power, I could have been in a wreck. This has been a known issue by toyota and needs to be addressed by a general recall.

My traction control light has came on and stays on, my vsc light continuously flashes. The code that it keeps sending is p2440 and p2441 (secondary injection). I had went overseas with the military for two years and came back last year to change the battery and this started. The truck only has 75,000 miles. This is all the time, doesn't matter stopped, going, high speed, low speed.

I had my vehicle repaired based on the 2010 toyota recall notice I received about the accelerator pedal. The accelerator pedal now sometimes sticks in the half-open position and refuses to return on its own. I have used the toe of my foot to pull the pedal back to the non-accelaterating position. When the vehicle is stopped, if you touch the accelerator pedal, the rpms will increase and decrease on their own, and even if the vehicle is in park position. This does not occur every time you operate the vehicle, but randomly, and with no pattern. The accelerator pedal has 3/4 to 1 inch of "free play" before it responds and feeds gas to the engine. Obviously, this could be dangerous, especially if someone besides myself was operating the vehicle. Toyota inc does not seem to understand why their "fix" to your original recall about this does not work, or they have created an additional problem with their "fix" to the 2010 recall.

Didn't notice till after a mile of driving but my check engine light, vsc, and 4lo were flashing. I could not accelerate past 50 miles per hour. Unfortunately the toyota dealership was closed and I took it in to auto shop to get the codes scanned to provide to toyota dealership. In order to get home I had to get the codes cleared out to get it out of limp mode but I drove it to the toyota dealership the next day and provided the codes and necessary information. Unfortunately they needed to get the codes off themselves I explained that there was a 2007 and 2008 tundra ? Tsb 032908 but they couldn't verify the problem and told me that next time it happens to bring it in without resetting the codes. Well it happened again today almost a month later. I'm taking the vehicle to a local dealership other than the initial one as towing charges would be outrages. I hope toyota can get his corrected for others regardless if you have the codes or not it should be a mandatory notice for all toyota tundra owners so you do not get stranded far from a dealership or eventually have that issue as it is provided only if you have up to 150k miles or 10years from when the vehicle was purchased.

I had 2 occurrences of unintentional acceleration. Both events transpired as follows: 1) applied brakes in preparation of starting engine and engaging transmission. 2) started engine, put it in "drive" and engine suddenly accelerated and jumped forward. 3) I immediately applied brakes with maximum effort to counter the acceleration. 4) threw shifter into "neutral" while engine was maxing rpms, then I shut down engine. Both events were close calls. If I had not had presence of mind I would have destroyed the vehicle and property. Vehicle was evaluated by local toyota dealer and they say they found no reason for the events. I contend that there is an issue and need to have it pursued.
