We received a recall for this vehicle from toyota to say the secondary air injection system valve stuck open, we contacted them, the vehicle was under the mileage, but, under the year of manufacture, this was relayed to us on two different occasions, verbally, toyota seems reluctant to put it in writing. The problem they said is caused by a faulty sensor installed when the vehicle was assembled. When the sensor triggers, the vehicle looses power immediately, this can be very dangerous when overtaking for example. On both occasions the verbal message we receive says toyota will not repair the problem, even though they sent a recall letter, and the problem is caused by a faulty sensor installed when the vehicle was manufactured. If you require more information please let us know thank you

Since the day that I bought this vehicle I have complained about the rust. It was 2 yes old with 17,000 miles on it. The bed and frame are badly rusted. I received a letter from toyota about frame and they applied some weird black stuff. Total nightmare. The bed ,even though I found a service bulletin they say too late to do anything. Even though I have been complaining at more then 5 dealership's since 2009 and called corporate numerous times. The bed is dangerous and has been. The support structure,.around mounting bolts, eventually bed will separate from frame. Very critical safety issue. Known problem but won't honor . Next problem that they also have an updated warranty which I was never notified about. Secondary air injection system fails ,which is an emissions component. Critical to keep emissions low.

(p0418) known defunct parts for 2007 tundras which toyota extended warranty to 10 years or 150,000 miles. Warranty not sufficient length for this model year for low mileage vehicles. Could not have had properly fixed until check engine light comes on. However, parts fail at 50k+ miles. Please extend warranty to appropriate length for this issue. Numerous similar instances noted upon internet research.

I took my truck for service at a toyota tundra and the shop informed me that my air pump was defective. I can't go above 30 MPH up hill and it doesn't shift correctly when my truck is in limp mode. The traction control light, vehicle swerve control light, and check engine light stays on.

While driving the truck to las vegas aug, 2018 was passing a line of semi's going to slow after passing about 3 of them the engine just stopped running, had to get to side of road fast, after making it there the truck would not start again. After an hour or so it started. Made it to vegas. The same thing happened several times since that day also there is no warning lights such as "check engine" light that came on.this truck was bought new in 2008, when the first time that happened it had 29080 miles on it, I don't drive it that much as I am retired so don't drive as much as I did before.that trip to vegas could have been all to different had I not been able to get off freeway, because the stearing at 70 MPH is not too good, could have been bad accident for my wife and myself, and others that may have been involved. Toyota dealer said he never heard of a problem like that when I called them. Have searched several web sites and found complaints with same problem therefore I believe toyota knows about it but refuses to repair their problem. Maybe they need a high total of deaths before fixing their problem. I think its a fuel pump problem or related to the engine.
