| Description of the problem | Toyota dealer and toyota technical support are unable to fix the problem associated with t-sb-0058-13. This is the second time within 3 months or so that i have taken my 2013 toyota tundra in for this fix. Fuel economy drops on average of 30-40%. Toyota refuse to acknowledge that this is an issue, and is refusing to cover costs associated with fixing this recurring problem. This has been stated as a software gliche, and there are no parts to replace. Hard starts, rough idle, and reduction in fuel economy can only be fixed by reprogramming the ecm. Dealership is saying there is nothing that toyota is willing to do. This issue is impacting thousands of owners, and the only resolution toyota has is to flash the ecm. If this is a software issue i would expect that toyota issue a recall to address this problem since it has been ongoing for multiple years of this engine combination. They know it's a problem, but are not doing anything to address it. I have logged multiple calls in to toyota for this problem, but have received no follow up contacts. |
