2012 Toyota Tundra fuel/propulsion system problems

“Wife was driving truck and immediately went into limp mode on the highway. Check engine light came on, no accelerating then died. Had to get it towed. This is the 3rd incident with this issue.”

“The fuel pump failed on my Tundra. Several dashboard check engine lights suddenly lit up to warn me of the issue. While I was able to safely get it to a mechanic to repair the independent Toyota certified mechanic I use shared they have seen a volume of these where the car stops immediately with the Fuel pump failing completely. I was lucky as the day prior to this I was driving through mountain passes on the highway in Colorado. I have since found out from the feedback from my mechanic that they have repaired a volume of these, and it is a known issue by Toyota who issued a technical service bulletin. The fuel pump needs to be replaced with a different specification - the original pump is not sufficient. My concern is putting driver/passenger safety at risk with a complete fuel pump failure while driving. I consider this a near-miss for me, and would worry about others that are about to have this issue.”

“2012 Toyota Tundra has a known design flaw in that moisture is allowed to condense, accumulate and corrode in components of the secondary air intake system leading to decrease performance especially in regards to acceleration which is critical to operating a vehicle safely.”

“VERY SERIOUS MALFUNCTION WITH AIR INJECTION PUMP. THIS HAPPENED TO OCCUR AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. MULTIPLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. $2000 PLUS IN REPAIRS FOR A VERY DANGEROUS AND APPARENTLY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH RECALLS ISSUED IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS OF TUNDRA AND OTHER MODELS OF TOYOTA TRUCKS.”

“THE TRAC OFF LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANS ON AT THE SAME TIME. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS OF 150,000 MILES. IF IT WAS THE SECONDARY VALVES AND AIR PUMPS. I GOT A CALL BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS, BIG MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS AN ISSUES WITH 100S OF TUNDRAS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GO OVER 60 OR GET TO 60 SAFELY. THE TOYOTA BLOGS ARE FULL OF TUNDRA OWNERS COMPLAINING. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.”

“MY 2012 TUNDRA HAD A TRAC OFF AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM FOR NUMEROUS TOYOTA TUNDRA IN REGARDS TO FAILURE OF THE SECONDARY AIR VALVES AND PUMPS. I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE 10 YEAR , 150,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I URGE YOU TO FORCE TOYOTA TO ADD MY VIN NUMBER TO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE CANNOT GO OVER 60 AND BE SAFE. IT WAS RAINING AND RAIN GOT INTO THE PUMP SYSTEM. TOYOTA HAS REPLACED THOUSANDS OF THESE BADLY DESIGNED SYSTEM AND MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE. IT COST OVER $2,000 TO REPLACE BADLY DESIGNED SYSTEM.”
