| When i started the car a bunch of lights illuminated and stayed on. the 4x4, stability control traction control, etc. it has happened 9 times over the last two years. turning the car off then on would not make it go away. i had to disconnect battery and reconnect before it seems to be working right. *tr | |||

| The 2007/2008 toyota tundra has a design defect with its air injection pump that allows the pump to injest water when driving for an extended period in rainy weather especially at highway speeds. when the water is then transferred to the switching valves. the vehicle will loose speed rapidly on a medium grade with no ability to accelerate. the cruise control causes the tranmission to downshift repeatedly trying to accelerate. this is extremely dangerous at high speed. in addition the vehicle stablization control is disabled. this condition also short circuits and disables 4w drive and cause the check engine light to come on. the inability to maintain speed or to accelerate creates a very hazardous condition. i have had this problem corrected twice at a cost of $1600. the dealer has informed me that the problem will continue to occur because of a design flaw. toyota acknowledges the problem in a service bulletin to the dealership (t-sb-039-08 rev 2 dated 10/28/08). there is a remedy for this problem but the dealership claim it has no authorization from toyota to implement it. as a result i am forced to drive a vehicle that becomes unsafe when it rains. | |||

| On my 2008 tundra while pulling a travel trailer on occasion the check engine light comes on along with the vehicle stability control and traction control lights. the last occasion was while on a return trip a little over half way back home the lights came on after a brief stop. after about two days the lights go out. this is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened. i took the truck to the dealer to have it checked out and they said that because i had a after market oiled air filter on the truck it was contaminating the mass air flow sensor, and refused any further service because of the modification, and said that there were not any codes in the history of it happening before. after getting back home i pulled the mass air flow sensor out and there was not the first bit of oil residue at all on the sensor. i believe that since the truck is still under warranty they did not want to go it any further and to just blame it on the after market air filter which has proven to not cause the problem. | |||

| The vehicle had been sitting in the driveway overnight. when i got in to go to work in the morning several warning lights were illuminated. the slip, brake, 4x4 hi and lo, vehicle stability control, and lsd lights stayed on until i stopped and turned the vehicle off and then back on. when i restarted the vehicle the lights were out. this has happened six times in the past 12 months. two other times the brake light was on and stayed on until i turned off the vehicle and restarted. there has never been an acceleration issue. on two occasions, while driving on a dry road the traction control engaged and took the power out of the vehicle. on both occasion was driving in town at less than 30 mph. the local dealership has never been able to duplicate the fault. *tr | |||
