Toyota dealership inspection reported on 10/05/16 that actuator assembly failed. mileage 122,482. disabiling, abs brake, speedometer,odometer, cruise control,and displaying engine check lights for abs. this occurred one day after replacing water pump, water hoses, serpentine belt, and fluids associated with service. cost estimate $2642.78. started engine and engine indicator lights showed engine check and abs malfunction started moving and speedometer cruise control inop along with odometer.

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.

2008 toyota tundra 5.7l double cab w/74,500 miles 4hi, 4lo, abs, vsc lights come on and flash at random intervals. the first time this happened, the cruise was set at 65 when all four lights started flashing. all other indications are normal. the truck will not engage 4hi, 4lo or vsc until it is turned off and restarted. the same day after approximately 10 miles of driving all four lights started flashing again, this time the cruise was not engaged. sometimes one or two days pass before it happens again. no error codes are indicated on the computer. *tr

I have been having this on going problem with my 2008 tundra 5.7 4x4 the 4x4 hi/l, vsc, abs are blinking while driving at different times. brought truck in ran test and nothing came back. truck also feels like it bunny hops when going out of first into 2nd gear. toyota still said nothing is wrong. *tr

Was driving 08 tundra up hill around 20 mph and cel vss lights came on lo range light flashing on dash truck lost all power. found out code p2442 secondary air induction system failure put truck into limp mode thousands of dollars in just parts to repair this system. so many people having same problems with same vehicle. toyota should issue a recall and re engineer a remedy for this poor design at no cost to the consumer. i spent alot of money on a truck to avoid these problems, now i have to drive an unsafe truck stuck in limp mode because i do not have the funds to repair, two thousand in just parts, toyota is charging people 4 to five thousand dollars to repair this problem when it should be recalled at no cost to the consumer due to the poor engineering and faulty design on the secondary air induction system pumps and switching valves......i am very surprised and disappointed in toyota for they have always backed up there product but this is a poor product that they are not backing up when they most certainly should stand behind it. also ...

Check engine light is lit. a few weeks later vsc light started blinking. *tr

The check engine light came on and the vehicle won't accelerate over 45 mph. almost caused me to have an accident. seems like toyota knows about this problem and won't do anything to recall the problem. *tr
