2008 Toyota Tundra acceleration problems

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

On 5 different occasions between January-March 2023 the accelerator pedal continued to accelerate after the pedal pressure was released. Even with braking, the accelerator pedal did not decelerate. Pedal had to be lifted back to original position by using toe of foot underneath the pedal. Occurred 4 times in city driving and once on highway. Extremely hazardous conditions if I did not react to stop the acceleration. On three of the occasions I was behind a vehicle which could have caused an accident had my reaction not been quick. Toyota dealership stated all previous recalls in regards to accelerator pedal were complied with and refused any additional service to uncontrolled acceleration issues.

I have multiple problems with the dash lights going on and off , have taken it to car repair when scanned and had replaced relays many times. I have read many stories of people having the same problem with toyota tundras and no one can figure it out. Toyota should have a recall for this because it is not just one or two people with this same exact problem, it is many toyota tundra owners going through the same problems that i' am experiencing.

CRUISE CONTROL RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING. WORKS PERFECTLY FOR A FEW DAYS THEN QUITS. SOMETIMES THE CRUISE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL STILL DOES NOT FUNCTION. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE STEERING COLUMN. SOMETIMES WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED LOCK TO LOCK THE CRUISE CONTROL THEN OPERATES NORMALLY. LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS THIS MAY BE THE "CLOCK GEAR" WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE.

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.

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.

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.
