I bought a 2007 Toyota Tundra less than 3 months ago from Toyota of Simi Valley. 2 months ago my check engine light and other warning lights suddenly went on while I was driving and my truck went into “limp mode” while merging onto a freeway, causing other drivers to swerve around me to avoid a collision. I took the truck back to Toyota and they advised the Air injection pump and air control valve need to be replaced. Total cost to repair is almost $4,000. I purchased at Bronze level extended warranty which covers up to 24,000 miles but the insurance carrier denied the claim saying these items are excluded, despite these items not being listed on their “excluded items list”. Toyota then offered to pay 1/2 the total cost of repairs, which in of itself is an admission of guilt. I’ve only made 2 payments on the vehicle, I should not be responsible for these repairs. I took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who advised Toyota’s assessment is correct, however, it should only cost $2k to fix the vehicle, not $4k. The mechanic also advised of an emission system issue and that this vehicle will not pass smog at this time.

2007 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the check engine, ESC, and vsc warning indicators illuminated as I was entering the freeway then the vehicle started to lose power and would not accelerate more than 60mph, the truck went into a limp mode. I reset the ECM by disconnecting the battery but it came back. The approximate failure mileage was 71k. This issue is all over the internet and should be covered by emissions warranty. Called the dealer and it is not covered by federal emissions warranty after 10yrs. Not good!

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.

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 check engine light has come on. As well as the lights stating the vehicle stability control and traction control systems have been disabled. The transmission will not shift out of third gear and the vsc being off is causing an unsafe driving condition due to slipping tires around corners at normal speeds. Upon checking the engine code p2714 and p0751 I have come to find out there is an internal toyota technical service bulletin circulating their dealership service departments dating back to november 28, 2007 when this issue was first discovered. The bulletin is named tc017-07. Also upon further investigation I have found numerous posts about this code and the exact issues my vehicle suffers from on multiple toyota tundra message and internet chat groups. This is a very serious issue which could easily cause loss of life or property if these vehicles with this issue are suddenly prone to the vsc and transmission acting abnormally. This issue for me came up very suddenly with no prior warning as the dash lights came in while driving. I will be asking totota to fix this issue at their cost with the remedy they describe in their service bulletin. The remedy they recommend is to replace the transmission and reprogram the ECM.
