June 1st 2021 I went to park in a parking space at a local mall. My truck instead of stopping it accelerated out of control jumped two stone curbs, drove though a fence and landed into a swamp. Call Toyota and they have opened a new case # 210602000065. Police report # 21-374-AC. This isn't the first time that this has happen with this truck. It happen in Aug 2019. I contacted Toyota case number 1908060035. They sent out EAA Engineering Analysis Ass. out who did a ACM.CDRX file a month later. Toyota came back said they couldn't find anything wrong and my case was closed. Another incident in winter of 2016 where my truck was stopped and it accelerated on its own and It drove in the 4 way intersection where it caused an accident. lots of damage to cars. Toyota was contacted and they sent me to a dealer for repairs. Dealership has records of my truck coming in since I owned it with complaints of Truck not moving at all to all of sudden to acceleration on its own.

RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS PUTTING A DRAG ON THAT WHEEL, SLOWING THAT WHEEL DOWN. HAPPENS ON SHARP TURNS ONLY SO FAR, MOSTLY GOING DOWN HILL, ALL AT REASONABLE, SAFE SPEEDS FOR THE CURVE. DRIVER IS NOT USING THE BREAKS AT THE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND RELEASES THE GAS AND HOLDS TIGHT TO THE STEERING WHEEL. NO DASH LIGHTS APPEAR. IT IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY AND STARTING TO SCARE US ON OUR DEEP CLIFF CURVE ROADS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING JUST ONCE IN AWHILE 5 YEARS, BUT IS NOW HAPPENING 2-5 TIMES EACH TIME WE DRIVE THE 15 MILE RIVER CANYON WITH TIGHT CURVES AND STEEP CLIFFS. WE ONLY KNOW WHEELS ANS BRAKE SYSTEM ARE INVOLVED, AND THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK IMMEDIATELY WENT IN TO LIMP-HOME MODE. I HAD IT SCANNED FOR CODES AT THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND IT CAME BACK WITH P2440 AND P2442 WHICH SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE WITH A VALVE IN THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. I QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED THAT SOME 2012 TACOMA OWNERS ARE GETTING THIS COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL WARRANTY EXTENSION, SO I PUTTERED OVER TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP EXPECTING TO HEAR THE SAME STORY, BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THE ECM COMPUTER IS BAD. WHICH I AM TRYING TO GET CLARIFICATION ON SINCE I CAN'T FIND ANY ECM FAILURE ISSUES FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR.

ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHEN THE TRUCKS PERFORMANCE JUMPED INTO LIMP MODE "TRAC OFF" AS I WAS DRIVING. LOSS OF SPEED AND PERFORMANCE CAUSED ME TO BE A DRIVING HAZARD. 2 VENDORS TODAY FOUND THE CODES P2440 AND P2442, WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE TRIGGERED MY TRUCK INTO "TRAC OFF" AND "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON. MODE CAUSES MY TRUCK TO ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 45 SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTS PERFORMANCE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD,I HAD NO WARNING THAT THE LOSS OF PERFORMANCE WAS GOING TO HAPPEN INITIALLY WHEN I WAS TRAVELING.THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO BE ON A LARGER SCALE.I HAVE BRIEFLY SCANNED THE INTERNET IN THE LAST HOUR AND SPOKE WITH VARIOUS VENDORS ABOUT THE PROBLEM & I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP & EVEN THE MAIN TOYOTA LINE AND EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CODES ARE P2440 & P2442. AFTER FINDING OUT THE CODES I LOOKED AT THE AIR INJECTION PUMP & I WAS ASTONISHED TO SEE THAT THE PUMP WAS COMPLETELY FULL OF WHAT, LIKE SOMEONE LITERALLY TOOK A WATERHOSE & FILLED IT UP. LOGICALLY, THIS IS WHY THE AIR INJECTION SWITCHING VALVES 1 AND 2 ARE BOTH STUCK OPEN ONE CODE FOR EACH OF THE VALVES. THE NEXT THING THAT IS UNUSUAL IS THAT THERE ARE AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL..THEN I FOUND THE TUNDRA RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PUMP ISSUE! IT IS PECULIAR, THAT A DIFFERENT MODEL TRUCK WITH THE SAME PUMP HAS THIS PROBLEM & NO RECALL OR REMEDY. FACT-TUNDRA IS A MORE EXPENSIVE TRUCK THAN TACOMA, IS TOYOTA FIXING PUBLIC RELATION ISSUES FOR THOSE MORE WELL OFF BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO COMPLAIN TO THE RIGHT FOLKS OR CAUSE A BIG STIR AND THEY WILL HOLD OFF ON PULLING THE TRIGGER ON A "WARRANTY FIX OR RECALL" ON THE WORKING MANS TACOMA? THIS IS JUST AN OPINION BUT MY INTUITION TELLS ME THIS IS INTENTIONAL. THE FIX IS APPROX $2000 I AM STUCK DRIVING 45 MPH TILL THEN WITH SHADY STEERING & PERFORMANCE. #ACCOUNTABILITY #ME TOO

THE ABS ACTUATES PREMATURELY DURING CORNERING ON FREEWAY ON/OFF RAMPS AND IN CORNERS RESULTING IN SUSPENSION DIVE, AN UNDER STEER CONDITION, AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT POSTED SPEED LIMITS ON DRY PAVEMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA/BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. THEY CLAIM THAT THE LEVELING KIT AND AT TIRES ARE TO BLAME. I RELATED THAT I HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW WITH NO MODIFICATIONS.

WHILE COMMUTING TO WORK THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, CAUSING MY TRUCK TO SLOW DOWN, VERY SLOW. IT WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE AND DISABLED MY PROGRESS TO AROUND 2000 RPMS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS OR A DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF I WAS TOWING A LOAD OR IN A MAJOR TRAFFIC SITUATION. CODES - 2440 AND 2442 WERE THE CAUSES OF THIS SCARY ACCOUNT.

Incident

Jun 13, 2017

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON RAINY, WET HIGHWAY WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND TRACTION CONTROL WAS SHUT OFF. THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SWITCHING VALVE IS APPARENTLY STUCK CLOSED, WHICH FOR SOME REASON SHUTS OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM SPEAKING WITH OTHER TACOMA AND TUNDRA OWNERS THAT HAD THE VALVES GOTTEN STUCK OPEN, THE VEHICLE GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" WHICH AUTOMATICALLY DECREASES SPEED TO 20MPH. OBVIOUSLY, EITHER OF THESE OCCURRENCES ARE PARTICULARLY UNSAFE IN RAINY AND WET CONDITIONS, AND THE DECREASE IN SPEED IS UNSAFE DURING ANY HIGHWAY TRAVELING. THIS IS APPARENTLY A BIG ENOUGH ISSUE ON THE TUNDRA MODELS FOR TOYOTA TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 150,000MI, YET THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING FOR THE TACOMAS WHICH HAVE AN IDENTICAL SYSTEM AND PARTS.

CODE P2440 AND P2442. AIR INJECTION SYSTEM VALVES ARE STUCK OPEN (RELATED TO EMISSIONS CONTROL UNIT) WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO 'LIMP' MODE ABRUPBTLY. THIS RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE, AND CAN OCCUR IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING CAUSING SERIOUS DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND FELLOW DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO COVER UNDER ANY POWERTRAIN OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE IS PERVASIVE AMONG 2012 TACOMA OWNERS AND TOYOTA REDESIGNED THE SYSTEM AS EARLY AS 2013 WHICH IMPLICATES THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A DEFECT.

2012 TACOMA WITH 91,000 MILES: WHILE LEAVING WORK AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO HIGHWAY THE "CHECK ENGINE" AND "TRAC OFF" LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 35 MPH. I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF THE ROAD AS TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK VEHICLE TO MAC HAIK TOYOTA AND RECEIVED THE CODE P2445. I HAD TO REPLACE AIR SWITCH VALVE ASSEMBLY $690, AIR W/BRA PUMP ASSEMBLY $813, AIR TUBE GASKETS $132, LABOR $610. TOTAL $2063!!!! FROM RESEARCHING, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2012 TACOMAS, AND HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OLDER TUNDRAS, WHICH TOYOTA ISSUED A TSB FOR. TOYOTA REFUSES TO REPAIR THIS UNDER WARRANTY (FEDERAL EMISSIONS) EVEN THOUGH THE FAILED PART IS DIRECTLY TIED TO THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM! "THE SYSTEM IS USED TO PUMP ADDITIONAL AIR INTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD UPON STARTUP TO DILUTE THE OVER-RICH CONDITIONS THAT LEAD TO INCREASED POLLUTION. (HOW IS THAT NOT AN EMISSIONS RELATED PART?) THE FAILURE OR WARPING OF THE ONE-WAY CHECK VALVE CAUSES HOT EXHAUST GASES TO BACKFLOW INTO THE SOLENOID, AND MELTING THE GASKETS. THIS ENDS UP BLOCKING THE SEALING PLATE AND CAUSING IT TO REMAIN IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE DANGER IS THAT THE HOT EXHAUST IS THEN FED INTO A PLASTIC AIR PUMP CAUSING IT TO POTENTIALLY MELT OR CATCH FIRE!" THE FACT THAT THIS FORCES THE VEHICLE INTO "LIMP MODE" IS ALSO A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL ABOVE 35 MPH AND COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED, SUDDEN DECELERATION. FAILED ASSEMBLY IS TOYOTA PART NUMBER : 25710-31020. THIS PART NUMBER HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY P/N: 25710-31022. *TR

VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 35 MPH. I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF THE ROAD AS TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF THIS HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED (60 MPH+), WOULD DEFINITELY BE IN A WRECK DUE TO THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT AND DECELERATION.

MY 2012 TOYOTA TACOMA PRERUNNER 2WD HAS 54,640 MILES. I JUST GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "TRAC OFF" LIGHT YESTERDAY. MY TRUCK WOULD ACCELERATE TO JUST 25 MPH WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND TOP SPEED WAS AROUND 50 MPH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER THIS KNOWN PROBLEM UNDER THE STANDARD 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. AUTOZONE RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AND CAME UP WITH TROUBLE CODES P2440 AND P2442. THESE ARE TIED TO THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM AND SWITCHING VALVES. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WOULD COST ME CLOSE TO $2000 TO REPAIR. I PAID $30,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW JUST 4 YEARS AGO. THIS NEEDS TO BECOME A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SO THAT A SAFETY RECALL IS ISSUED FOR TOYOTA TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN DEFECT FOR FREE.
