| Description of the problem | Tundra won't accelerate as engine goes into limp mode which restricts speed capability of vehicle. This is related to air injection pump failure and related also to air switching valves. Limp mode on a toyota restricts speed at which you can drive, shifting and top speed are restricted. Slows to point if entering highway or trying to keep up with speed over 50 mph could not do it. Toyota is aware and has a customer support program ztq buying vehicle used not aware of this or anything about it. I slowed traffic and caused back up on the street was traveling could nit do more than 20-30 mph on road posted at 50 mph. Glad not entering freeway. Plenty of u tube videos detailing repair and problem. The toyota documentation says 477,000 tundra vehicles were covered by this enhanced warranty program. Previous owner did complain to toyota and had computer replaced on vehicle. |
