2010 Toyota Tundra: check engine light

Filed Apr 3, 2023 · Engine · TX

I received a check engine light for the secondary injection system. Toyota extended the warranty but wont honor issues after 10 years, even though the truck has less than 100K miles. This is a safety issue as the trucks performance is altered and concerned about passing a car on a two lane highway. The repair can range from $2K to $4K pending on the dealer.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle lost acceleration power. The contact pulled over to the side of the road to a complete stop. The vehicle was turned off. The contact restarted the vehicle normally, but the acceleration power was lost and the warning indicator was still illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as air injection pump failure. The contact was also advised that the manufacturer issued an extended warranty for the failure, but the vehicle was over the mileage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.

I purchased on 2010 tundra double cab 4x4 with a 5.7 v-8 engine on august 1, 2010. On several occasions my 2010 tundra has shut down while being driven. The first serious safety problem occurred on 08/26/2010 (1,097 miles) while being driven about 10-15 MPH. The check engine light came on and the 4x4 lo and rsca lights were flashing while power was lost/reduced to engine/tranmission. On 8/27/2010, the selling dealer checked the connections after receiving codes c1201 and p060a and claimed the vehicle was fixed. The second time was on 09/26/2010 (2,312 miles) I was driving 55-60 MPH when the lights came on as before and I lost/reduced power to the engine/transmission almost causing an accident. This time the a local dealer verified that code p060a returned and claimed the cause was a bad ECM processor. They replaced the ECM processor claiming the vehicle was fixed. The third time was on october 31, 2010, (2,480 miles) the vehicle was parked and being warmed up when the check engine light came on. I drove the vehicle then to see if it had the same problem with power loss to the engine. Again there was reduced power to the engine/transmission. Notified toyota who had the vehicle towed in and they recovered code p1614. This time the dealer claimed the problem was the r&r air assembly stating this was the cause of the problem, replaced it and claimed they had fixed the problem. Toyota corporation and my local dealership both have been informed of this serious safety problem with the engine shutting down while driving. On 11/9/2010, the arbitration the board related that "there have not been an unreasonable number of repairs for the same nonconformity." therefore, they denied my claim for a new vehicle. An engine shutting down/reduced power to the engine causing loss of control over the vehicle to me is a very serious safety problem.

Tl*the contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving on the highway approximately 60 MPH, the check engine light illuminated then the vehicle completely shut off. He was able to restart the vehicle with difficulty; however, it became difficult to accelerate. He was able to drive onto the emergency lane and noticed that two other lights besides the check engine light illuminated (he did not cite which lights). While driving to the dealer, he tried to engage the brake pedal in the parking lot and the vehicle did not respond until he depressed the brake pedal twice. The dealer told him that the fuel injector caused the failure to occur and later stated that it was the ecu. The dealer called him again and stated that one of the lifters in the engine was bent and they would order the parts. The vehicle was currently at the dealership at the time of the complaint. He called the manufacturer to ask for a new vehicle and a representative told him that it was up to the dealer. The current mileage was approximately 115. The failure mileage was approximately 100. Updated 3/10/10 *cn the dealer found loss of compression and multiple cylinder misfires. They ran a compression test, and found cylinder #8 at zero. They removed the cylinder head and found an open bolt lodged in the valve holding it open. Updated 05/17/10
