I had the accelerator stick two times recently. my tires spun very fast and i almost took off into a very busy highway. i would have been killed if i didn't quickly put the truck in neutral until the engine revved down. this is a helpless feeling and something is not right with the manufacturing of the truck.
The check engine light came on in my vehicle during a five mile trip to work and is still on. the diagnostic code revealed a fault in an air valve. after some research i discovered that toyota issued an extended warranty on this part because of a known issue affecting the same year/make/model as my tundra. i called the dealership to ask about the repair process as i was within the 10 year/150k mile extended warranty period. they stated the part was replaced in 2014. i was then directed to call toyota customer service. customer service told me they could not honor the extended warranty because the part was already replaced. i do not have faith that replacing the part will fix my truck in the long run. toyota obviously identified a fault with their trucks and extended the warranty on a known bad part. but, this did not fix the truck. the same problem has come back again after the part was replaced at a toyota dealership only four years ago. i believe that even if i have the truck fixed, the problem will persist every couple of years. i believe toyota should be liable for replacing the part.
2009 toyota tundra, 5 mos after purchase(5-16-09),my drive shaft replaced, while driving will not change gears will accelerate by itself as if the cruise control is on which is caused the odometer to read incorrectly,(reading 44,000 miles) & use excessive amount of fuel . several fluid leaks, muffler replaced, transmission will not shift properly when accelerating & when i come to a complete stop it take time before is shift into stop, & electrical problems. engine light comes on, ticking noise & vibration in the motor. these have codes coming up. my truck need to be replaced because this is causing more problems for the future. one problem leads to another. i was told by ron carter toyota that i am being unreasonable for wanting my truck fixed right & not to bring it back to there dealer or they will call the police on me for wanting my vehicle replaced because i know i have been deceived & solded a lemon. i was told by the former service manager (now fired) bill crichton that i could look on the toyota web site & look for the tsb (toyota service bulletin) to find the info about tundra's , i have not found that info yet. please help i am paying for something that is not operating properly or safely. this is my only means of transportation & all i want is a new vehicle with no problems. thank you. *tr
