I have multiple problems with the dash lights going on and off , have taken it to car repair when scanned and had replaced relays many times. I have read many stories of people having the same problem with toyota tundras and no one can figure it out. Toyota should have a recall for this because it is not just one or two people with this same exact problem, it is many toyota tundra owners going through the same problems that i' am experiencing.

Vehicle accelerates slow where it takes time for truck to gain spread. Also the cruise control doesn’t work for some reason when button is pushed the cruise light comes on but truck doesn’t cruise on its own.

On 6/09/2020 this owner's 2008 toyota tundra 4.7l dashboard lights lit up including the vsc, traction control, check engine and 4 lo. The 4 lo light was flashing. The truck would no longer go past 3000 RPM. Writer drove the truck home. It was then taken to tarbox toyota for evaluation. They notified writer that the vehicle's secondary air injection system required repair and that this is a known defect with toyota tundras. Toyota issued an extended warranty to cover vehicles impacted by this defect. Cost to repair is $2300. Toyota will not assist me with this issue but advised me to stop driving the vehicle. So they are aware that this defect is dangerous yet will not repair it under said warranty. I called toyota headquarters and they were of no help. I am a nurse who works in a hospital during this pandemic and I no longer have reliable transportation to get to and from work. This is a known defect where toyota extended their warranties to cover this. However they refuse to assist me. Now I am stuck with a truck that cannot go past 30mph and its emission system is no longer functioning.
