| Description of the problem | While driving on interstate, my truck suddenly became sluggish and would not accelerate. Check engine light came on with icon showing a car and traction bars. I drove straight to dealership. 3 hours later was told about a code 2440 which caused me to have to replace secondary air valves , pumps and new intake tube. Research indicates i am not the only one this has happened to but apparently only 2010 models have been covered. Total cost of repairs was about $2421. 00 so far toyota is refusing to acknowledge this has been an existing problem and stand behind their product. My truck had less than 90k miles and should not be experiencing this sort of major repairs at this mileage. The dealership representative proceeded to explain that my entire vehicle woud shut down and i would have even worse problems without an immediate repair. Being a 65 year old female, i was afraid to even drive to another repair shop so was basically scared into a major repair having to pay a lot of money on a limited income. |
