My 2011 toyota tundra while it was being driven the engine light came on. It was driven to a nearby o' reilly's for a code check. The code was p0418 which is the air induction pump which is an emission's code. The truck then went into a limp mode while driving home on a busy city street which meant it would not accelerate over 35 MPH. This is a very dangerous situation not having the ability to go any faster due to an emission's code putting the truck into a limp mode. After researching this problem I found out that toyota has extended the warranty for this air injection pump for the 2007-2010 tundra models. Toyota has refused to help cover the cost for this repair even though it is a known problem on tundras. I read that the same faulty air pump which allows moisture to enter is still being used in my 2011 tundra model. This is a $2,200 repair which toyota should cover since it has occurred to their earlier models and mine as well. Not only is this a costly repair, but also a very dangerous situation when your vehicle is unable to accelerate on an emissions problem.
