I was driving on the freeway and my tundra would not go past 20 MPH. I almost got into an accident on the freeway and had to pull off/exit. I brought it to a toyota dealer for an authorize diagnostic and repair. My secondary injection valve was defective back in january 2016 and the quote price was $2860 from my local toyota dealer. Toyota did not cover the faulty injection until a warranty enhancement letter came out in august 2017 for owner's to submit paperwork. This may affect other toyota tundra and sequoia model as well.

While driving the check engine light came on and I lost propulsion power resulting in vehicle slowing down and almost creating an accident from behind. I had the vehicle checked via a obd2 code checker which resulted in code p2442. After verifying code, it looks as if it is a faulty air intake. Looking through several sources on the internet, it seems to be a very common problem that toyota is refusing to acknowledge or repair. Please take this issue into consideration and help the consumer. Fuel propulsion system I purchased my 2011 tundra quarter end 2011. It has less than 100k miles and is well maintained by the dealer. Late may 2017 e light came on and I took the vehicle to the dealer to have this checked. I learned that I had an issue with the secondary air injection system.

The check engine light and the acs light came on while driving. The truck went into a "limp" mode and would not accelerate properly. I took the vehicle to bob tyler toyota in pensacola florida. They determined that it was the air injection pump in the emission's system. They stated that the pump had water in it. My extended warranty would not cover the repairs stating it was a known toyota problem for my vehicle. The warranty company sent me a toyota service bulletin (t-sb-0160-11). The bulletin clearly states that in some 2007 - 2011 model year tundra vehicles that water intrusion into the air injection pump assembly occurs. The current recall notice is for 2007-2010 tundras. That recall should be extended to cover 2011 tundras since it is a known problem. Attached is the toyota service bulletin and bob tyler's service / repair order.

Fuel propulsion system I purchased my 2011 tundra quarter end 2013. It has less than 100k miles and is well maintained by the dealer. Late august 2016 the check engine light came on and I took the vehicle to the dealer to have this checked. I learned that I had an issue with the secondary air injection system. The estimated cost of the repair was quoted at $3,360.00. As a long time owner or driver of toyota vehicles of 35 years, I was shocked in that I had never experienced such issues. I purchase toyota because I trust the quality, reliability and design. I understand that toyota has recalled and is covering the cost of the replacement for vehicles 2007-2010. There appears to be an issue with the 2011 models and this should be investigated and the coverage expanded to include this year as well. The new technology was not in place when my car was manufactured. This defect creates unsafe conditions for the driver to navigate busy highways or country roads. I have this truck for hauling on occasion and I am so thankful that I did not have livestock in tow. The dealer reached out to toyota for assistance in the replacement. I believe that the total cost should be covered in that it is a known defect/issue that still was not corrected when my car was manufactured. Most owners may not take the time to register a complaint. I wonder how many owners have had the same experience. I have not provided technical information here in that this is a known defect and I experienced all the effects of the defect while driving.

Fuel tank fuel sending unit bad. I was pulling out it traffic when the vehicle suddenly died. Some people stopped to help me push it over to the curb. Had it towed to the repair shop. They reported back the vehicle was out of gas and that the fuel tank fuel level sending unit was bad. The repair is $600+. The vehicle has just over 65,000 miles on it. An internet search shows this is a somewhat common problem and has been since 2002 model year. I called toyota and as expected they are not willing to do anything relative to covering the problem. (case number 1611010676). The fuel gauge was reading just under 1/4 of a tank and the low fuel light was not on when the issue occurred.
