I had all the dash lights flashing and the transfer case stuck in 4wheel drive low, an engine misfire and vibration. I took it to my mechanic and he said it was an air pump valve problem. He cleared the codes in the computer and I drove it home. The next morning it did the same thing. I took it back and he got it running again. The weather has since warmed up and it hasn't done it since. That was a couple months ago. I found out that toyota was extending the warranty to 10 years and 100,000 miles. So I took it to foss toyota in casper, wy. They told me they couldn't fix it unless it malfunctioned right there on their lot. I contacted toyota headquarters by e-mail, I explained the problem and was phoned by someone at toyota. They told me the same thing. I say bullcookies. Those engine fail codes are still in the computer. And I believe they're stalling until my 10 years are up this coming september. This air pump repair is a $5,000.00 to $6,000.00 bill. I think toyota should repair my truck, I bought it from them in good faith, I had to have a $1,000.00 + engine belt and a water pump put on it already, and now this? What are my options when dealing with a less than honest company? When the dash lights flashing and the transfer case stuck in 4wd. It was parked in my garage and I just started it up on a cold morning. Thank you

6/20/12 I noticed master power window button on driver?s side door for the rear passenger window was stuck and would not operate. 6/21/12 I started the truck in my driveway and turned on the AC, left the vehicle to grab my briefcase and get in no more than 15 seconds. When I opened the door I noticed smoke at the entryway but couldn?t identify what or where it was coming from. I appeared to go away so I thought I was imagining something. I got in the truck and noticed the smell of burning electrical wires about the time my head turned I saw smoke coming out of the drivers side power window master control and getting big fast, I opened the door and it really came out fast. Turned off the vehicle and immediately tried to see if it was flames or not. It was not in flames but the smoke was still coming out. I grabbed the fuse box panel and tried to identify the fuse for the power windows. It took a call to the dealership to identify the fuse under the dashboard I didn?t know was there I thought thee was only 1 fuse panel box. The dealership was extremely responsive and a lot of help. Service advisor we identified the correct fuse, removed it and the smoke stopped. I have no other problems that I know of. This is a 2007 vehicle with a fire defect. I went on the internet and see that there are identified problems for this exact same problem but the tundra was not identified as a model affected but it sure should be. There is not a recall as of this time and I have not had it repaired yet. *information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) tt
