I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON TO MASS 93 HIGHWAY WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRAC OFF LIGHT AND BLINKING 4 LOE CAME ON. THE ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP MODE GREATLY REDUCING MY POWER AND I LOST CONTROL AND. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE LANE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT AND GET TO A MECHANICS SHOP. THEY HOOKED UP A ANALYSIS COMPUTER AND CAME BACK WITH MAINTENANCE CODE P2432, SECONDARY AIR PUMPS AND SECONDARY AIR PUMP VALVES. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH TOYOTA TUNDRAS GOING BACK TO 2007 MODELS. THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED ON 2007 - 2010 MODELS BUT NOT NEWER MODELS WHICH ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.I FEEL THIS PROBLEM CONSTITUTES A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE DRASTIC REDUCTION IN POWER WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DEPENDING ON WHEN THE PARTS IN QUESTION FAIL.

I WAS COMING OFF AN ENTRANCE RAMP MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON TO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRAC OFF LIGHT AND BLINKING 4 LOE CAME ON. THE ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP MODE GREATLY REDUCING MY POWER AND IT FELT LIKE MY STEERING CONTROL GOT LOOSE. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO KEEP FROM BEING RUN OVER BY FASTER TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT OFF RAMP AND GET TO A MECHANICS SHOP. THEY HOOKED UP A ANALYSIS COMPUTER AND CAME BACK WITH MAINTENANCE CODE P2432, SECONDARY AIR PUMPS AND SECONDARY AIR PUMP VALVES. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH OF THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH TOYOTA TUNDRAS GOING BACK TO 2007 MODELS. THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED ON 2007 - 2010 MODELS BUT NOT NEWER MODELS WHICH ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED LOW MILEAGE FOR A 2012 WITH ONLY 79,786 MILES. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM CONSTITUTES A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE DRASTIC REDUCTION IN POWER WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DEPENDING ON WHEN THE PARTS IN QUESTION FAIL.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT SLOWED DOWN SEVERELY AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING INTO A WRECK. I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND HAD A P2441 CODE
NHTSA complaint #11232470 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP AND SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SWITCHING VALUE CAUSING CHECK ENGINE AND TRAC CONTROL LIGHTS TO COME ON. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE SAME PIECE AND DESIGN WAS RECALLED ON THE 2011 BUT NOT THE 2012 TUNDRA. IT COMES ON AND OFF BUT WHEN IT IS ON IT FEELS LIKE THAT THERE IS A LIMP MODE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING FEELS DIFFERENT WHICH I THINK IS THE TRACTION CONTROL.

PRE-CRASH SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY, AT TIMES IF A VEGICLE PASSES ME ON EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE, THE CRASH WARNING BEEPED AND BRAKES APPLIED, NOTE: NO ONE IS IN FRONT OF ME, THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL FOR UPDATES, MY PRE-CRASH SYSTEM INTICATES ITS ON, HOWEVER, ITS NOT WORKING, YESTERDAY AT ABOUT 2:15 PM ON 8/27/2018 IT FAILED AND I HIT SOMEONE IN THE REAR AND SPEED UNDER 10 MPH, I WAS TOLD BY FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA OF SANFORD NC SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY HAVE HAD SOME THAT WAS OUT OF CALIBRATION AND THAT MINE SHOULD HAVE WORKED WETHER IF CRUISE CONTROL IS ON OR OFF..

I SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE WITH MY EXACT PROBLEM. THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM RELAY AND SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM SWITCHING VALVE. OBD II CODES P0418 AND P2442. MY EXPERIENCE IS THE SAME AS OTHER COMPLAINTS IN THAT MY TRUCK IS NOW PERMANENTLY IN LIMP MODE AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO THESE KNOWN DEFECTIVE PARTS. ON PRE-2012 MODEL TUNDRAS TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE REPAIR WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/150,000 MILES AS THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. FOR SOME REASON THEY WILL NOT INCLUDE LATER YEAR MODEL TRUCKS LIKE MY 2012 4.6 LITER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE TRUCK SLOWED SEVERELY IN TRAFFIC AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR GO UP ANY HILL. CARS BEHIND ME IN TRAFFIC HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME. I WAS STUCK DEAD AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL AS THESE CHRONICALLY FAILING PARTS SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE'S POWER. TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE HAS DENIED MY ATTEMPT TO SEEK COMPENSATION OR REPAIR OF THESE PARTS THAT THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE. THE FIX NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL YEAR MODEL AND ENGINE SIZE TUNDRAS AS THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS EXIST ON MODELS PAST 2011. A SIDE NOTE, SOMEHOW THESE DEFECTS ARE REPORTED TO BE AFFECTING THE VEHICLE SKID CONTROL AS THAT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THESE PARTS FAIL ON MOST OF THE AFFECTED TUNDRAS.
