 Secondary air injection pump is making a loud humming noise at a cold start up. i pulled the error codes. p2441, p1445 and p1442. i contacted the toyota dealership and the cost for the new pump is $2300. that is such a big expense for a 7 old truck and to have it repaired will be more than $3200. i believe that the design and construction of the part are flawed and replacement should be covered by toyota. *tr ## vin failed ##

 I started my vehicle and began to drive down the street. my truck light came on and i almost got into an accident because i lost power. i took it to repair shop and got the code of 2445. when i talked to toyota i was told that it is a faulty air pump and 3 valves for the air operated injector system a $3500 dollar repair. i was told that moisture gets into the pump which causes the pump to send insulation into the valves. this sends the vehicle into limp mode causing a loss of power. i'm lucky i was not on the interstate or it may have killed me. toyota knows about this defect and refuses to acknowledge the problem. they changed the way it is configured in the newer models and issued a recall for those but refuse to fix the older models. this is a clear lack of safety on their part. if this was to occur on the interstate then people will get hurt. i ask you to seek out toyota for the safety of drivers and make them recall these parts. *tr

 2006 toyota tundra, v8 when the vehicle is started the idle goes to a high rate of rpm. if you place the vehicle in drive, it will lurch forward if the brakes are not firmly pressed. the rpm is higher in the winter. the dealer states, that this is normal and a part of the computer control system. i consider this a potential hazard. the problem has been evident since i purchased the new vehicle in 2006. *tr

 Tl- the contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. while stopped at a light the contact attempted to accelerate but the vehicle would not accelerate. the contact was able to drive the vehicle in limp mode. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics. the technicians stated the failure occurred because of water intrusion in the engine air take system. the technicians stated the intake manifold would have to be removed, the upper half of the engine would have to be dismantled, and valves in the engine would have to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 97,000. ds

 I bought a 2006 toyota tundra sr5 back in 2007. i have had my vehicle serviced every since i have bought it. my truck has always smelled like rotten eggs and i have had the injectors cleaned 4 times since i've owned it. the problem still exist. i have contacted toyota about this and they say there has been no recall...please look into this problem and also the tire pressure warning system light keeps malfunctioning.people spend too much money on these vehicles and last thing we all need is to fork out more money on a vehicle that is more less in a nut shell a lemon. everytime i turn around it's something wrong with this type of vehicle. thanks for your time and look forward to hearing about this problem. *tr
