| Defect Summary | Certain pickup trucks equipped with both vehicle stability control (vsc) and the trd dual exhaust systems. the trd dual exhaust system met all clearance specifications on models without vsc, however the driver's side exhaust located in a position where contact between a brake line found only on vehicles with vsc and the trd exhaust pipe might occur. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | In this condition, the exhaust pipe flange may rub against the right rear brake line, which could cause brake fluid leakage. this could lead to an increase of vehicle stopping distance, which could result in a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect and, if so equipped, will replace the trd dual exhaust system free of charge. during this replacement, the dealer will also inspect the specific brake line to assure it has not been damaged and replace it if necessary. the recall began on may 31, 2005. owners should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331. | |||||||||||||||

| 2005 toyota tundra. consumer writes in regards to air induction pump design flaws *tgw the consumer stated according to the mechanic's report, the second air pump, secondary air switching valve, bank 1 and bank were replaced. they were all clogged with insulation foam and stuck to the valve seats which kept the valves open. the secondary air inlet was also replaced, due to the hose being hard because of the heat under the intake manifold, which also contributed to the engine not being able to cool properly. further research about air induction pump design flaws on toyota vehicle revealed a nationwide problem affecting tundra's up until the 2010 model. | |||

| Engine light came on. after having codes read, problem was identified as the air induction pump. the issue is that when this pump goes out, it puts the engine in a limp mode, which causes the vehicle to not have adequate acceleration to merge with traffic. this is a safety issue as drivers do not know that the limp mode occurs when this happens. needless to say, the replacement part cost over $1300. i would think a part of that expense should last longer than a little over 50,000 miles. | |||

| 2005 toyota tundra experience electronic failure*cw the consumer stated the mechanical or electronic failure caused an accident as well as injuries. the consumer stated all he remembered was exiting the highway in evening traffic when all of a sudden, his vehicle rammed into the vehicle in front of him. the air bags deployed prior to the collision and he had no recollection of being able to brake. he also stated the engine failed in june 2009. the consumer was informed there must have been something wrong with the seams in the radiator. apparently, it blew out the bottom, which caused the instantaneous loss of the radiator fluid. *jb | |||

| The truck was brand new and only had 4,500 miles on it when the check engine light came on and the truck started acting funny. toyota said they were not going to fix it and i was never given a replacement under lemon law when this happened. i had just got the truck in october 2005 and in december 2005 it started acting up. i am a trained mechanic and i know this should not happen to a new vehicle. i want toyota to refund me the money i put down on the truck, which is around 8 grand. *tr | |||

| Long delay between depressing drive-by-wire gas pedal and engine responding. my 2005 toyota tundra has an electronic gas pedal. it's unacceptable behavior may explain some of the current surging people are seeing in other toyotas. this is a 100% software problem (i am a electronic engineer). description: when the engine is at idle, or even worse, when you are decelerating at idle power, and you increase the throttle position of the gas pedal, there is a nearly 1-second delay before the engine responds to the throttle input. if the driver, not sensing any response to throttle, applies more and more throttle during that one second delay, when the engine electronic throttle finally does respond it will immediately go to the highest throttle setting the driver was selecting, causing a huge lurching forward action of the vehicle. for example, if the driver applied throttle in this fashion: 0sec=5% throttle; 0.25sec=10% throttle; 0.5 sec=20% throttle; 0.75sec=35% throttle; 1.0sec=50% throttle. the engine's electronic throttle will respond like this: 0sec=0% throttle; 0.25sec=0% throttle; 0.5 sec=0% throttle; 0.75sec=0% throttle; 1.0sec=50% throttle. causing the huge lurch at 1.0 second. this has been especially dangerous while changing lanes during stop-and-go traffic in the san francisco bay area. please note that if i am running at partial power/throttle, this behavior does not happen, and the gas pedal response is proper. only from idle or decelerating. i have complained numerous times to my toyota dealer, to which the service manager finally replied to me you think the tundra is bad... you should try driving the sienna! it's worse! so apparently the folks at toyota know about this and think it's funny. i can demonstrate this defect at any time. i have changed my driving style to protect me from the vehicle's defect. *tr | |||

| Dt: when the engine is started cold it idles very high. when taking foot off brake or putting vehicle in gear it accelerates quickly. no accidents reported. also, no other problems. taken to dealer to inquire about this, dealer stated that this is normal. it seemed twice as fast as a normal vehicle in idle. when the engine is hot this problem goes away. *ak *nm | |||
