Gas Pump: Over the last few months, the vehicle has stalled twice, with the engine not functioning. Upon turning the ignition switch, the starter engages and the engine cranks, but it does not sustain operation. In both cases, the vehicle was able to start and run only after numerous attempts, exceeding 10 to 15, while consistently pressing the gas pedal.

I bought this truck new. It has 70,000 miles. The bed and bumpers have extensive rust holes, completely through. Last year, the gas tank fell out while driving due to rusted through fuel tank straps. Now, the rear axle has started leaking due to a rusted out rear axle housing.I am a 64 yr old vet and afraid to drive the truck. If I fill up the rear axle it will get on the road and tires I have called and emailed toyota and they told me to fix it at my expense.

The gas gauge is no longer giving accurate readings of how much gas is in the gas tank. The gas was at 1/4 of a tank and while I was driving it it completely died on me. When I tried to start it it wouldn't turn over the aaa guy said it sounded like the fuel pump might have gone out. I took it to my mechanic who said he just fixed the same problem but on a toyota sequoia which it ended up being the gas gauge not reading how much gas is actually in the tank. After inspection of my truck he said that the gas gauge was bad and needed to be replaced and it was the same issue the toyota sequoia had that he fixed . My truck is only 5 years old and only has 70,000 miles on it, it shouldn't be giving me these problems already.

Toyota 2010 tundra 4.6l double cab vehicle. Extremely sensative gas pedal. Nearly impossible to accelerate from complete or slow rolling stop without lurching ahead quickly. Nearly impossible to accelerate smoothly without wheel spin in wet or snow covered roads making this a safety hazzard. It is also a safety hazzard because I cannot back up or go forward safely in parking situations or parking lots. If there is anyone ahead or behind the truck - even for a considerable distance, I do not drive the truck because I cannot be sure it won't move ahead or behind uncontrolably. Toyota dealer knows of this problem and I have notified toyota. Dealer re-synked gas pedal to engine drive by wire components but problem still exists. I suspect it is a problem with the digital encoder on the gas pedal, the computer software in the ecu, and the stepper motor operating the throttle butterfly on the air intake. Service manager at local dealer witnessed my driving the truck and symptoms, then drove the truck and experienced the symptoms. He offered no solution. The problem is not constant. Sometimes it is extreme, other times it is less. But the gas pedal is always very sensitive. Truck was acquired used with 6,700 miles on it and now has 8,000 miles of use. Engine runs smoothly, starts quickly, gets rated gas mileage, and drives smoothly once in motion.

I have a 2010 toyota tundra that has about 10,000 miles on it. About two months ago I started noticing the truck will randomly have a sudden loss of power. It happens mainly when it has been sitting all day. It's kind of scary because when you are pulling out of a parking lot or making a left hand turn the truck will all of a sudden have no power and then it will jolt forward. I have not taken it to the dealer because no indicator lights are coming on and that's usually the only way they know how to fix problems. I have read a few forums that talk about this problem, one guy said he had his truck in and out of the dealer for 4 months and they basically ripped his whole truck apart. They finally came to the conclusion that the wire harness under the dash that goes to the fuel pump was loose and causing the problem. I called toyota and the dealer and they told me they have not had enough complaints yet but when they do they will probably come out with a fix. I haven't done much since mainly because I don't want the dealer wasting my time and taking my truck apart.
