TOYOTA TUNDRA 2008 TRD REAR SWAY BAR FAILURE - REAR TRD SWAY BAR ASSEMBLY HARDWARE ON 2008 TUNDRA IS ACTUALLY CRACKING AND CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND BENDING THE REAR BRAKE LINE TO THE POINT THAT IF I HAD NOT CAUGHT THE PROBLEM MY REAR BRAKES WOULD HAVE FAILED. I WAS UNDER MY TRUCK DOING A GENERAL INSPECTION AND NOTICED THAT MY LEFT REAR TRD BILSTIEN SHOCK WAS LEAKING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WITHOUT HESITATION THEY ORDERED THE PART WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE TRUCK. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TOYOTA HAD ORDERED A STANDARD SHOCK AND NOT A BILSTIEN SHOCK, SO I PICKED MY TRUCK BACK UP FROM THEM UNTIL THEY GOT THE CORRECT PART. A FEW DAYS LATTER I NOTICED A KNOCK COMING FROM MY TRUCK AND WHEN I HAD ISOLATED THE KNOCK I IDENTIFIED IT AS THE LEFT STRAP ON MY TRD SWAY BAR KIT. WHAT I CONCLUDED IS THAT THE LEFT REAR SHOCK LEAKING CAUSED TOO MUCH TRAVEL. THE EXTENSIVE TRAVEL OF THE SHOCK CAUSED TOO MUCH STRESS ON THE STRAP OF THE SWAY BAR KIT AND IN-TURN THE STRAP FAILED AND SPLIT IN HALF EXPOSING THE RUBBER BUSHING (I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS). I CALLED TOYOTA AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND TALKED TO WALTER YAMAMOTO THE SERVICE WRITTER AT PIERCY TOYOTA OF MILPITAS CALIFORNIA. I TOLD WALTER THAT THE SWAY BAR WAS PRESSING ON THE REAR BREAK LINE AND HAD BENT IT UPWARDS AND WAS NOW LEANING AGAINST THE REAR BREAK LINE. AT NO TIME DID WALTER ADVISE ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I FINALLY GOT TO SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK

I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT, THE ACCELERATOR FLUCTUATED WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP. THIS WAS MOST EVIDENT WHEN I STARTED FROM A STOP AND HIT A BUMP. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL THE FLUCTUATION BECAME SO BAD I THOUGHT I WOULD AT SOME POINT, LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTIFIED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN IN 2010, MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS. TOYOTA REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR. I CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SENSITIVE ACCELERATOR UNTIL A DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER NOTIFIED ME THAT MY VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR WAS NORMAL. HE FURTHER INDICATED THAT NEW TUNDRA'S HAD THE SAME ACCELERATOR FEEL AS MINE. THE DISTRICT MANAGER STATED THAT HE HAD PARKED MY VEHICLE NEXT TO A NEW VEHICLE IN CASE I WANTED TO COMPARE THE NEW VEHICLE TO MINE. I DID NOT COMPARE THE TWO VEHICLES. HOWEVER, I FEEL THE ACCELERATOR IN MY VEHICLE IS A HAZARD AND SHOULD BE EXAMINED FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE WHO OWN TOYOTA TUNDRA'S. *TR

APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE BALL PARK HERE IN BECKLEY WEST VIRGINIA WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE MY 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACCELERATING HIGHER AND HIGHER ON ITS OWN SENDING ME AND MY DAUGHTER ON A 70 MPH RIDE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP WAS TO PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AND PUT VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL, EVENTUALLY THE PEDAL BECAME UNSTUCK AND I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO MY PLACE OF WORK LESS THAN A MILE AWAY AND PARKED IT. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOWED THE VEHICLE IN. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER THE SAFETY RECALL. TOYOTA AT THIS TIME CUT THE GAS PEDAL IN TWO AND ADDED CHEAPER FLOOR MATS. THEY SAID THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. TODAY I WAS TAKING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND WAS GOING UP A HILL. I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND HAD NO ACCELERATION. I GENTLY ROLLED BACK DOWN THE HILL AND GOT THE VEHICLE ON THE LEVEL AND THEN TOOK ANOTHER ROUTE. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. ITS NOT THE FLOOR MATS OR THE SIZE OF THE PEDAL IT IS IN THE WIRING, COMPUTER, OR SOMETHING. BOTH INCIDENTS WERE FORTUNATE THAT NO VEHICLE WAS IN FRONT OF ME OR BEHIND ME. I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY ABOUT THIS SECOND INCIDENT AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME WAS TO CALL THE 1 800 NUMBER. I EXPLAINED I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE, KNOWING THAT IM PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY IN HARMS WAY. THIS IS MY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION SO UNFORTUNATELY I CANT JUST STOP DRIVING IT. *TR

2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4WD 5.7L FAILURE BEGAN FEB OF 2010 TRUCK ENTERED "LIMP MODE" AND WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. PROBLEM DETERMINED TO BE "BANK 2 VALVE STUCK OPEN FOR SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM" ON MY VEHICLE. TRUCK HAS ENTERED IN AND OUT OF LIMP MODE CONSISTENTLY FOR UP TO A WEEK AT A TIME SINCE ISSUE SURFACED. DURING LIMP MODE VEHICLE CANNOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND IS LIMITED IN POWER AND SPEED, CREATING MANY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ESPECIALLY INVOLVING HIGHWAY TRAVEL. FOR EXAMPLE, VEHICLE OFTEN CANNOT ACCELERATE OVER 50-55MPH SOLELY, AND I HAVE EVEN BECOME TRAPPED ON AN INTERSTATE AT 26MPH PULLING A TRAILER. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROBLEM AND DENIED MY CLAIM REGARDING ISSUE AND DEFECT CAUSING THE SITUATION. *TR

CONSUMER STATES PROBLEMS WITH THE BEDLINER WITH HER TOYOTA TUNDRA VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE BEDLINER WAS REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT STYLE AND WAS THEN BOLTED DOWN.

2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, I HAD A AIR INDUCTION VALVE FAIL ALL OF A SUDDEN WHICH CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY STALL INTO LIMP MODE. I KNOW THIS PART HAS TO DO WITH EMISSIONS BUT HOW IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND WHEN IT FAILED IF VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS SUDDEN SWITCH TO LIMP MODE CAUSED ME TO BASICALLY LOOSE CONTROL FOR A FEW SECONDS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ABOUT 35 MPH WITH NO CONTROL . TRAFFIC WAS SWERVING AROUND ME AND HONKING THEIR HORNS AS MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM 65 MPH TO 35 MPH. I UNDERSTAND PARTS WILL FAIL PERIODICALLY BUT THE WAY THE VEHICLE SWITCHES TO LIMP MODE WHEN THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM OCCURS NEEDS TO BE REDEVELOPED AND FIXED OR SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE THE RESULT. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A MORE THAN COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH TOYOTA TUNDRAS IN THE 2007 AND 2008 YEARS. THANKS FOR YOU ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH APPROX 48,000 MILES. THE TRUCK IS "LIMPING" AROUND WITH NO POWER. I CANNOT DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE AS IT WILL NOT GO OVER 45 OR 50 MPH. IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE COMFORTABLY EITHER, SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ON. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO SAID THAT IT NEEDS $3300 WORTH OF REPAIRS. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED DUE TO THE COST. THEY TELL ME IT IS THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM AND THAT I NEED TO HAVE 2 PUMPS AND CONTROL VALVES REPLACED. THE COMPUTER CODE IT READS IS "P2442". THERE IS A TSB ON THIS ERROR (0329-08). AFTER RESEARCHING THESE PART NUMBERS (17610-0S010 (2 OF THESE) AND 25701-38060), THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY CONSUMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM I HAVE. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A QUESTION OF THIS BEING A DESIGN OR ENGINEERING FAILURE OF THESE PARTS. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS SYSTEM FAILURE IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND HAS NO EFFECT ON THE WAY THE TRUCK RUNS EXCEPT IT THROWS THE TRUCK INTO "LIMP" MODE UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED. I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AT FIRST TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND MY TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE. NOW, HOWEVER, THIS WILL NOT ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM AND I AM RUNNING AROUND IN WHAT I FEEL IS AND UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO FACT THAT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN PROPER SPEED FOR VARIOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

MY 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAD THE PEDAL ACCELERATE AS I WAS BACKING UP AT MY LOCAL GROCERY STORE. I HAD BEEN COMPLAINING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT INFORMING ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT WASN'T UNTIL THIS HAPPENED THAT THEY SENT A TECH OUT TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE TECH. I FEEL LIKE I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM TOYOTA. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR I COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE. I CONTINUE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATOR AND NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? DO I STOP DRIVING MY ONLY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE? *TR

AS I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GO FORWARD SLOWLY THE TRUCK ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND TURNED LEFT TO AVOID HITTING A CAR AND HIT A YELLOW CONCRETE POST WHILE THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD ABOUT 20 FEET. I THEN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND FINALLY GOT IT TO STOP. I THEN TRIED TO OPEN MY DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE HOME ABOUT 3 MILES AND PARKED THE TRUCK. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT NIGHT TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT AND LEFT A MESSAGE. I CALLED THEM AGAIN THE MORNING OF MARCH 5TH, 2010 AND GAVE THEM THE DETAILS. A CLAIMS ADJUSTER HAS ASSESSED THE DAMAGE ON THE BODY OF THE TRUCK BUT THOSE REPAIRS HAVE NOT YET BEEN COMPLETED. ON MARCH 11TH, 2010 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM TOYOTA ON THE TRUCK FOR A ACCELERATOR PEDAL REINFORCEMENT BAR INSTALLATION.
