2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA Unknown Or Other Problems

I took my truck to the dealership of Toyota in Riverside, CA and the staff there told me there was no recall for my vehicle. Can you please verify if my vehicle is under warranty? I also went to the smog inspection and told them about my situation and they said my vehicle may not be under recall since sometimes certain vehicles under the same year are grouped together with a specific recall.

Horn stopped working right after I bought this truck from a dealer. I did some research on why it stopped. I was told and also read that it was the air bag clock spring. This controls the air bags and horn and other components. What it is the clock spring was installed by Toyota that had a bad spot on it. This causes the wiring harness to start rubbing and cutting into the wires. Would cause the horn to stop working and the air bags not to work and other things that is wired to this harness also. This should be a safety concern, and Toyota needs to recall to fix. Read that the 2011 Toyota's was bad for doing this. Costing the customer about $800.00 to fix. I have the truck about 3 months. Might be the reason it was traded in. Works some times and doesn't work. I am worried the air bags will deploy if not fixed. Please check into this. I would like to know what you find out before I spend the money to get it fixed On Social Security and don't have that much money in hand to have fixed.

Engine light, 4Lo light, and ASC light on with code P2442. Vehicle in limp mode.

I have reached out to Toyota multiple times this month. I have severe rust developing und the bed of my truck where the bed bolts fasten the bed to the frame. After some research I have found where other tundra owners with the same year have similar issues. My fear is over time the bed is going to be unsecured from the chassis. Rust is bubbling the line-x up. I have never seen anything like this before. Toyota refuses to accept responsibility that they have a parts/material/metal issue for this year truck.

Vehicle Frame rusting extensively. Vehicle could possibly fall apart. Local gas station diagnosed it per inspection.

RACK AND PINION STEERING LEAK I DO NOT HAVE LIFT KIT ON THE TRUCK IT HAS BEEN LEAKING SINCE THE TRUCK HAS HAD 15000 AND THE TRUNK HAS 49200 ON IT THEY SEAD IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY NOT HAPPY

THE HORN ON MY 2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AT A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT ACTUALLY WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS INTERMITTENTLY THEN QUIT AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CANNOT GET A PASSED INSPECTION WITHOUT THE HORN WORKING. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA A YEAR AGO AND THEY WOULD NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I AM RETIRED, CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP WITHOUT FEARING IT WILL COST ME AN ARM AND A LEG. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO? ALL TOYOTA WANTS TO DO IS SELL ME A NEW VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS PAID OFF. THE DATE I HAVE SUBMITTED IS AN APPROXIMATE DATE WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT. THANK YOU.

RECALL SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM - TOYOTA RECALLED THIS PART UP TO 2010 AND HAS EXCLUDED THE 2011. EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS PART BECAUSE TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS A BULLETIN INCLUDING THE 2011.TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER THIS PART BECAUSE TOYOTA EXCLUDES THE 2011. THIS IS A $2,500 REPAIR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, POOR ACCELERATION THEN OCCURRED, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WE WERE ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN TOWN.

FAILURE OF THE AIR INJECTION SYSTEM SWITCHING VALVE (CODE P2440). VEHICLE WAS LEFT TO OPERATE WITH LOW THROTTLE RESPONSE, AND "LIMP MODE"

Mileage: 102,843

WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST PROPULSION POWER RESULTING IN VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN AND ALMOST CREATING AN ACCIDENT FROM BEHIND. I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED VIA A OBD2 CODE CHECKER WHICH RESULTED IN CODE P2442. AFTER VERIFYING CODE, IT LOOKS AS IF IT IS A FAULTY AIR INTAKE. LOOKING THROUGH SEVERAL SOURCES ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR REPAIR. PLEASE TAKE THIS ISSUE INTO CONSIDERATION AND HELP THE CONSUMER.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, MY TRUCK SUDDENLY BECAME SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH ICON SHOWING A CAR AND TRACTION BARS. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP. 3 HOURS LATER WAS TOLD ABOUT A CODE 2440 WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE SECONDARY AIR VALVES , PUMPS AND NEW INTAKE TUBE. RESEARCH INDICATES I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BUT APPARENTLY ONLY 2010 MODELS HAVE BEEN COVERED. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WAS ABOUT $2421.00 SO FAR TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS HAS BEEN AN EXISTING PROBLEM AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. MY TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 90K MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS SORT OF MAJOR REPAIRS AT THIS MILEAGE. THE DEALERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDED TO EXPLAIN THAT MY ENTIRE VEHICLE WOUD SHUT DOWN AND I WOULD HAVE EVEN WORSE PROBLEMS WITHOUT AN IMMEDIATE REPAIR. BEING A 65 YEAR OLD FEMALE, I WAS AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP SO WAS BASICALLY SCARED INTO A MAJOR REPAIR HAVING TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY ON A LIMITED INCOME.

MY 2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DRIVEN TO A NEARBY O' REILLY'S FOR A CODE CHECK. THE CODE WAS P0418 WHICH IS THE AIR INDUCTION PUMP WHICH IS AN EMISSION'S CODE. THE TRUCK THEN WENT INTO A LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHICH MEANT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO GO ANY FASTER DUE TO AN EMISSION'S CODE PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO A LIMP MODE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS AIR INJECTION PUMP FOR THE 2007-2010 TUNDRA MODELS. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO HELP COVER THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON TUNDRAS. I READ THAT THE SAME FAULTY AIR PUMP WHICH ALLOWS MOISTURE TO ENTER IS STILL BEING USED IN MY 2011 TUNDRA MODEL. THIS IS A $2,200 REPAIR WHICH TOYOTA SHOULD COVER SINCE IT HAS OCCURRED TO THEIR EARLIER MODELS AND MINE AS WELL. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY REPAIR, BUT ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOUR VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ON AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM.

THE AIR INDUCTION PUMP (AIP) ON 2007-2010 ARE COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10 YEARS DUE TO FAILURES. MY 2011 TUNDRA, MANUFACTURED IN 2010 HAS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE AND THE PART IS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT IS BEING REPLACED ON 2010'S BUT IT WILL COSTS ME $2345.00 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. TOYOTA KNOWS IT HAS A DEFECTIVE (AIP) BUT REFUSES TO COVER THE 2011'S UNTIL ENOUGH CONSUMERS COMPLAIN.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOSS ENGINE POWER AND BEGAN TO SLOW. AFTER I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND IT BECAME UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING AND POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH, I PULLED OVER AND HAD TO LIMP VEHICLE BACK HOME. TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX IT SAYING IT ONLY OFFERS REPLACEMENT ON THE 2007-2010 TOYOTA VEHICLES. THE DEFECTIVE PART NUMBER IS THE SAME ON MY 2011 AS ALL THE OTHER TOYOTAS BUT THEY STOPPED COVERING IT IN THE LATER MODELS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD TO REPAIR SO MANY THAT AT ONE TIME THERE WAS A 60 DAY BACKLOG ON PARTS. THIS IS RIDICULUS AND TOYOTA IS RISKING THE LIVES OF THOSE THAT DRIVE THEIR PRODUCT. I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THIS ON TOP OF WHAT I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE. I WILL WARN EVERYONE I CAN REACH TO NEVER BUY A TOYOTA. TOYOTA HAS BECOME A COMPANY OF SUBPAR CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND DESERVES EVERY CLASS ACTION SUIT THEY GET FILED AGAINST THEM. WHOEVER BEGINS ONE ON THESE FAILED AIR INJECTION PUMPS COUNT ME IN FOR THE REFUND AND THE MENTAL ANGUISH OF TRYING TO GET TOYOTA TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!!! THIS COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE!!! UNSAFE!!!
