2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4.7. APPROXIMATELY 124,000 KMS ENGINE WENT INITO LIMP MODE. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS AIR PUMP AND VALVE BANK FAILURE, $4700 REPAIR ESTIMATE. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OVER 100,000 KMS. ALSO PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER THESE PARTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. (GO FIGURE) PURSUED THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY WHICH COVERS EMISSION CONTROL PARTS, HOWEVER TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS NOT PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH THE AIR PUMP CONTROLS EMISSIONS AT VEHICLE START UP. TOOK THE PUMP OFF THE VEHICLE AND DRAINED THE WATER FROM THE POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM, LUBRICATED THE PUMP AND GOT IT WORKING. TRUCK WENT BACK INTO LIMP MODE AFTER A COUPLE DAYS NOW APPARENTLY VALVE BANK IS STUCK. TOYOTA STILL RECOMMENDS REPLACING ALL THE PARTS FOR $4700. NOT HAPPY WITH TOYOTA THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL THE PUMP IS LOCATED IN THE FENDER WELL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF RIGHT FRONT TIRE, THE INTAKE PIPE FOR THE PUMP IS DESIGNED SO THAT ANY WATER PRESENT GOES DIRECTLY INTO THE PUMP CAUSING THE SYSTEM FAILURE. IT WOULD BE A PRETTY SIMPLE FIX FOR TOYOTA JUST PUT A 90 DEGREE BEND IN THE PIPE SO THAT WATER CANNOT GET IN AND REPOSITION THE INTAKE HOLE. TRYING TO SELL TUNDRA IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED. *KB

1ST WEEK OF APRIL, 2011, 2007 TUNDRA WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE, HOOKED UP TESTER, SAID P2442 CODE. COMMON PROBLEM, ON THESE TRUCKS, FROM WHAT DEALER TOLD ME. ORDERED PARTS, AT THAT TIME. $1500.00 OF PARTS ORDERED. TOOK 9 WEEKS, TO GET PARTS. A VERY DANGEROUS TRUCK TO DRIVE, WITH THIS SITUATION. CAN'T PARK IT, TO WAIT 9 WEEKS, FOR PARTS, STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. NO POWER, DANGEROUS ON FREEWAY, OR ANY WHERE ELSE. TOYOTA WAS STILL SENDING NEW TRUCKS, TO BE SOLD, WHEN, THEY COULD HAVE SENT PARTS, TO FIX THIS VERY EXPENSIVE, AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IF THIS IS AN EMISSIONS ISSUE, SHOULDN'T A RECALL BE MADE, AND AT LEAST PRTS TO FIX, BE REIMBURSED? HAVE PURCHASED 5 NEW TOYOTAS, FOR FAMILY AND BUSINESS, OVER LAST 10 YEARS, WILL LOOK ELSEWHERE, NEXT TIME I TRADE. I WENT FROM DOMESTIC, TO TOYOTA, FOR THE SAME REASON, 10 YEARS AGO. NOW TOYOTA IS ACTING LIKE FORD AND GM, DID, AT THAT TIME./ WILL BUY GM OR FORDS NEXT TIME. TOYOTA HAS TREATED ME LIKE CRAP, AT THE DEALER LEVEL, AND ON THE CORPORATE LEVEL. THESE PARTS ARE ONLY COVERED 3 YEAR/36,000 MILES. TOYOTA KNOWS THAT THESE PARTS, ARE DEFECTIVE!! IF THE PARTS ARE SMOG RELATED, NEED TO HAVE A RECALL!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEGAN TO STICK WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTACTS VEHICLE HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL ACCELERATOR PEDAL) RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL; THE FAILURE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

2 AIR INDUCTION PUMPS (AIP) AND ASSOCIATED VALUES FAILURE AROUND 60K MILES. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE IS MOISTURE. NEW PUMPS AND VALVES CAN BE INSTALLED FOR $4000 OR IF YOU ARE LUCKY AND YOU ONLY NEED TO REPLACE ONE PUMP AND BOTH VALVES IT ONLY COST $2150. THE NEW PUMPS AND VALUES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED SO THEY SHOULD NOT FAILURE AS FAST AS ORIGINALS. IF THE NEW PUMPS AND VALVES HAD TO BE "MODIFIED" THEN IT LEADS ONE TO BELIEVE THE ORIGINALS HAD A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ERROR P2442 REPORTED. 75K MILES ON TRUCK WITH AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM VALVE STICKING DUE TO WHAT APPEAR TO BE WATER INTRUSION. THE FAILURE STARTED OUT INTERMITTENTLY, THEN BECAME CONSISTENT. COST $1000 TO REPLACE BOTH VALVES IN EACH AIR INDUCTION BANK. WORRIED THAT THE PUMPS WILL FAIL IN THE NEAR FUTURE. UNHAPPY TOYOTA CUSTOMER. POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT NOTICED TWO PLASTIC PIECES THAT SURROUND THE GEAR SHIFT WERE BENT AND HAD CRUMBLED WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFT IN THE DESIRED GEAR. THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME CAUGHT IN BETWEEN THE PLASTIC. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUSH THE PLASTIC DOWN IN ORDER TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN THE PARK POSITION UNTIL THE CONTACT PUSHED THE TWO PLASTIC PIECES DOWNWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE TWO PLASTIC COVER PIECES ATTACHED TO THE GEAR SHIFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4.7L ENGINE P2442 CODE ENGINE IN LIMP MODE. SECONDARY AIR INTAKE VALVE FAILED IN OPEN POSITION. 62000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE SYSTEM THAT FAILS IF DRIVEN IN WET CONDITIONS DUE TO POOR AIR FAN INTAKE DESIGN. IT SITS IN THE WHEEL WELL AND IS WET ALL THE TIME. THIS LEADS TO WATER BEING PUSHED INTO THE AIR VALVE CAUSING IT TO FAIL. *TR
