My truck drove fine then all of a sudden my check engine, vsc and traction control light came on. I brought it to the shop and the code read P 2440. It is in limp mode and the shifting is sporadic.

Air injection pumps stopped working and I cannot accelerate fast enough to get on the interstate ramp with 50% or more reduction in power and it's created a safety concern for me and my family. What can you do to help us? Toyota dealer says it's $1,400 plus to repair this problem. Please help we cannot afford this repair and we have been a very loyal toyota customer since 1981. In fact, we don't ever buy a vehicle unless it's a toyota. Thank you for your kind consideration. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. God bless!

Transmission slipped and vehicle lose of power. Dashboard all warning lights began to flash. Pulled to side of road. Turned off vehicle attempted to reset. Managed to get vehicle to nearby parking lot and out of traffic. Complete loss of power to drive train. Cause was power steering unit sensor per toyota. Toyota covered part in attempt to prevent this complaint. From internet, "some 2007-2008 toyota tundra vehicles may experience power steering dtcs p0552 and/or p0553. The power steering sensor has since been changed to correct this condition. The old/previous power steering sensor is p/n 89448-34010. This has been replaced with sensor p/n 89448-34020. Using tis techstream, confirm the condition by checking for dtcs p0552 and/or p-553. Disconnect the pressure sensor connector and proceed with removing the power steering pressure switch, which is located at the power steering vane pump and is mounted to the high pressure feed line. Install the new power steering pressure sensor, tightening to 15.2 ft.-lbs. (20.6 nm). With the new sensor fully installed and connected, start the engine and check for leaks. Adjust power steering fluid level as needed."

Vibration at 70,000 miles in front and rear of vehicle. Checked out online. Seems people are having problems with bearings in toyota tundra's at relatively low mileage . Took to mechanic. Bearings need replaced in front right and rear wheel hubs. 70,000 miles, wow. Mechanic was flabbergasted too. Little early for bearing replacement . With the frame already under recall. Makes you wonder who went cheap with bearing's too. I bought toyota in thinking things like this wouldn't happen. My 1996 nissan frame looks better then the frame on my truck. Toyota inspected frame . Told me it looked better than most . Bolts that hold bed on under my bed liner are already rusted, as well as the bed body and frame .told me it doesn't meet replacement requirements . So now I'm waiting for them to spray underneath body. Something that should have been done in production . I don't see how that fixes a problem . If done correctly and prepped before spraying maybe. Need to replace all frames not coated in the first place.

Abnormal noise and vibration in right rear wheel as vehicle was in motion. Toyota dealer identified right wheel bearing as defective and replaced in may 2017. Dealership had problems replacing bearing and also contacted toyota corporate to see if repair could be covered-toyota refused to cover the issue. The replaced bearing failed again in june 2017 with a clicking sound which increased with speed. Dealership is replacing right rear bearing under their warranty. I reported problems to toyota consumer advocate who advised me that there is no recourse or escalation since they had no recalls, service bulletins or warranty coverage documented. I provided the federal safety agency complaints and eventually I located tsb t-sb-0151-10 to toyota corp. My concern is that a bearing failure can result in a loss of steering control or wheel separation from the vehicle. I have no assurance from either toyota or the toyota dealer that the remaining 3 bearings are free of the same defect or that the new replacement will be successful. Web searches have indicated that the problem has been documented by other parties and generally unsupported by toyota.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota tundra. While driving various speeds, the power train would malfunction while in first, second, and sixth gears.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.

I'm writing regarding my 2008 toyota tundra and a recent rear axle wheel bearings failure. The truck itself is in meticulous condition and only has 58,000 miles on it. The reason for the note is that I've seen articles indicating there has been issues as well as located a related toyota service bulletins. I was also told by the service technician that the bearings that were installed were upgraded bearings. Typically I wouldn't think twice, but knowing this is a safety issue as well as the other information we have found, I'm curious if the federal safety agency has done any investigation or has any additional information it can share? Toyota and my dealer ended up covering half the repair, but there was still quite a bit we had to cover. Beyond the bearing, we recently learned there may be issues with the frame. Anything you can share on that would also be appreciated. Thank you in advance. We have a 5 year old that travels in the vehicles and therefore safety is our utmost importance.
