I HAD DRIVEN THE TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES AND ON 02/10/14, WITH 236 MILES, I STARTED THE TRUCK TO GO TO WORK. I WENT BACK IN MY HOUSE, AS THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 0 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND ALLOWED THE TRUCK TO RUN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I RETURNED TO MY TRUCK AND LEFT FOR WORK. AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK ENTERED "LIMP MODE." I WAS NOT FAR FROM WORK SO I CONTINUED TO WORK, DRIVING AT A MAX SPEED OF 40 MPH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. ON 2/12/14 I PICKED THE TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN AIP (AIR INJECTION PUMP) FAILURE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE IS NO FIX, AND THE PROBLEM COULD HAPPEN AGAIN IN COLD CLIMATE. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE, I GOT NOWHERE. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A FIX IN THE WORKS, BUT FOR NOW I AM LEFT WITH A TRUCK THAT MAY GO INTO LIMP MODE WHEN IT IS COLD OUT. LIVING IN THE NORTH EASTERN UNITED STATES, IT IS COLD HERE FROM OCTOBER TO MID-MARCH. IF THIS TRUCK WERE TO SUDDENLY ENTER LIMP MODE WHEN I AM ATTEMPTING TO ASCEND A HILL, THIS COULD PRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE TO MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS, AS I WOULD SEVERELY BE IMPEDING THE SAFE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, GOING 10 MPH UPHILL, WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A WARNING. I FEEL THE SUDDEN REDUCTION IN POWER COULD GREATLY REDUCE THE OPERATORS ABILITY TO SAFELY OPERATE THE TRUCK, ESPECIAL WHEN NEGOTIATING TRAFFIC.

I WAS LUCKY THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT START.

THE SALESMAN GOT THE SERVICE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT IT AND HE FOOLED WITH IT TILL IT STARTED TO MOVE. AFTER BRINGING THE TRUCK HOME I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE SEAT TO MOVE AGAIN. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THAT IT LOOKED NORMAL TO HIM. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME OUT AND SAID THAT THEY HAD ME A NEW SEAT ORDERED AND WOULD NOTIFY US WHEN IT CAME IN. THAT WAS IN FEB.2014. IN MAY THEY SAID IT WOULD BE HERE AROUND THE 27TH. ON JUNE 20TH I CALLED AND THEY SAID IT WAS THERE. WE TOOK IT DOWN TO THE DEALER AT 9 AM AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 5 HOURS. WHEN WE CAME BACK MY HUSBAND WENT OUT TO TEST THE SEAT AND IT STILL DIDN'T MOVE FREELY. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS NORMAL FOR THIS TRUCK. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MAN THE NEXT MORNING. HE SAID THAT THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE ON THESE TRUCKS TO KEEP THE DRIVER FROM BEING THROWN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS WHAT SEAT BELTS WERE FOR? HE SAID THAT HE WOULD GO DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CHECK OUT SOME OF THE TRUCKS THERE BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM HIM AND THAT WAS ON JUNE 24TH. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE SEAT HANDLE BAR ON THE TUNDRA HAD TO BE GRABBED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BAR. THAT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO MOVE. MY HUSBAND IS NOT DISABLED SO HE CAN GRAB IT IN THE MIDDLE AND IT STILL WILL NOT WORK. BECAUSE OF MY DISABILITY I CAN'T REACH BETWEEN MY LEGS TO GRAB THE BAR THERE. I WALK WITH A CANE AND AM HAVING A HIP REPLACEMENT SOON. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD CHECK OUT OUR TRUCK PERSONALLY THE NEXT TIME WE WHERE IN TOWN. WE LIVE 2 HOURS AWAY.

ENGINE

i purchased a 2014 toyota tundra on 02/04/14. i had driven the truck approximately 4 times and on 02/10/14, with 236 miles, i started the truck to go to work. i went back in my house, as the temperature was around 0 degrees fahrenheit and allowed the truck to run for several minutes. i returned to my truck and left for work. after driving for several miles, the check engine light came on and the truck entered "limp mode." i was not far from work so i continued to work, driving at a max speed of 40 mph. i contacted the dealer and advised them of the problem. the truck was subsequently towed back to the dealer. on 2/12/14 i picked the truck up from the dealer. i was told it was an aip (air injection pump) failure. i was also told there is no fix, and the problem could happen again in cold climate. after several phone calls to toyota customer care, i got nowhere. i was told there is a fix in the works, but for now i am left with a truck that may go into limp mode when it is cold out. living in the north eastern united states, it is cold here from october to mid-march. if this truck were to suddenly enter limp mode when i am attempting to ascend a hill, this could present a safety issue to myself and other motorists, as i would severely be impeding the safe flow of traffic, going 10 mph uphill, without so much as a warning. i feel the sudden reduction in power could greatly reduce the operators ability to safely operate the truck, especial when negotiating traffic. it is extremely disheartening to me to knowing that i bought a $39,000 truck, touted as being among the most reliable and dependable, that may or may not run when the temperature falls..and after speaking with toyota, they know it is a problem..

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

i purchased a 2014 toyota tundra in november 2013. in march 2014, with 2,248 miles on the truck, i went to leave work and the truck would not start. it was towed to the dealer and they informed me that rodents had chewed through two wiring harnesses (e.g., #7 coil, temp sensor and the active brake booster), one of which was the main wire harness. i was lucky that the vehicle did not start. if the vehicle had been in operation (with mostly chewed through wiring) the wiring could have become loose and the vehicle may have lost steering, brakes, or other critically important safety functions may have ceased to work. the end result could have been a crash, fire, injury, or even death. using a soy based product to coat the wires is a design flaw which must be corrected. although the intent was to utilize a more ecologically friendly insulation material, the design engineers omitted to consider the attractiveness of the ecologically friendly insulation material to rodents (e.g., squirrels, mice, and rabbits), the rodents are common in most residential areas in the united states, and the rodents could easily damage the wires. i have spoken with the dealer (stapp interstate toyota scion of frederick colorado) service manager, toyota customer experience center, toyota motor sales, u.s.a., inc. customer relations administrator, and toyota motor sales regional customerfirst manager. each time toyota is denying ownership of their defective wires and the safety-related need to correct them.

this is probably not a safety issue as of yet but could turn into one. i bought a new tundra 2014 in jan. 2014 from community toyota in baytown, texas. the very first time i get in the truck to come home the front drivers seat wouldn't move forward for me. the salesman got the service people to look at it and he fooled with it till it started to move. after bringing the truck home i had trouble getting the seat to move again. my husband took the truck back to the dealership. the service man said that it looked normal to him. the service manager came out and said that they had me a new seat ordered and would notify us when it came in. that was in feb.2014. in may they said it would be here around the 27th. on june 20th i called and they said it was there. we took it down to the dealer at 9 am and they said it would take about 5 hours. when we came back my husband went out to test the seat and it still didn't move freely. the service manager said that this normal for this truck. i called the customer relations man the next morning. he said that this is a safety feature on these trucks to keep the driver from being thrown into the steering wheel. i thought that that was what seat belts were for? he said that he would go down to the dealership and check out some of the trucks there but i haven't heard anything from him and that was on june 24th. he also said that the seat handle bar on the tundra had to be grabbed right in the middle of the bar. that this is the only way to get it to move. my husband is not disabled so he can grab it in the middle and it still will not work. because of my disability i can't reach between my legs to grab the bar there. i walk with a cane and am having a hip replacement soon. he said that he would check out our truck personally the next time we where in town. we live 2 hours away. i would like to know if anyone else is having this trouble.

POWER TRAIN

the above vehicle was purchased on 07/06/2014 at about 2100 hours. the vehicle was driven home, which was approximately five miles away. the vehicle was parked in a residential driveway and on 07/07/2014 returned to the vehicle and saw that there was a pool of fluid under the parked vehicle. upon examination i found that the vehicle had leaked a large amount of transmission fluid. the dealer was contacted and the vehicle was towed to the dealership (frontier toyota valencia ca.) i was contacted later that same day and advised that the vehicle had a faulty transmission seal which allowed the transmission fluid to leak from the vehicle. they also advised that the transmission had lost ten ounces of transmission fluid. my concern is that if the vehicle had been driven any distance with the above described leak the transmission would have leaked out all of the transmission fluid causing the potential for transmission failure, loss of control from leaking fluids on tires or possible fire from overheated fluids on hot exhaust and or engine parts/.
