2008 Toyota TUNDRA Engine And Engine Cooling Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	01/05/11
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Truck went into "limp" mode and the vsc, check engine light and the "traction" light all came on. Took it to autozone to get a read out and it had a p2442 for a subaru, but was figured to be the asv (air switch valve) or the aip (air induction pump) on bank 2. Considering that my truck is out of warranty with 62000 miles and all the forum and websites that i have been to that told me it would cast any where from 1000 to 5000 bucks to fix, i checked it out myself. The asv on the driver side has a metal plate that is broken and is keeping the valve opened. I have called a dealer and they told me they have no clue when the parts could be in because of the tsunami in japan. I am very upset as to this issue as i am not able to bypass the it and get my truck running correctly. Toyota needs to step up and make a recall on these pumps and valves. I was told that one of the reasons for the issues is that water gets in the pimps. I cannot see how water is getting in these pumps and valves as they are enclosed. This is a design flaw and needs to be rectified.
