WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE, ESC, AND VSC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AS I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 60MPH, THE TRUCK WENT INTO A LIMP MODE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WAS CORRODED, EVEN THOUGH AN ANTI CORRODING AGENT HAD BEEN APPLIED TO THE VEHICLE.

THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD THE TRUCK. RIGHT FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE DEALER LOT IT WAS WEAK. ON STEEP HILLS IT WAS QUESTIONABLE WHEN POINTING UP THE HILL AND WOULD NOT HOLD POINTING DOWN. HAD DEALER LOOK AT IT AND DEALER SAID IT WAS FINE. SINCE THEN (MULTIPLE TIMES) IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT IT IS COMPLETELY INEFFECTUAL. AFTER ADJUSTMENT IT WILL HOLD ON A SLIGHT HILL BUT NOT A STEEP HILL AND NEVER WHEN IN GEAR. AT 32000 MILES WOULD NOT HOLD AT ALL EVEN AFTER ADJUSTMENT. SO NEW PARKING BRAKE SHOES ETC AND IT WON'T HOLD. MECHANIC ADJUSTED THE BRAKES THE MOST POSSIBLE (SO IT WON'T DRAG AND OVERHEAT) AND DOES NOT HOLD. NOTE THAT PEDAL HAS BEEN ADJUSTED SO THAT THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT HIT THE FLOOR. ONLY GOES ABOUT 1/2 WAY DOWN WHICH IS CORRECT. I SEE THIS PROBLEM REPORTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT ONLY ONE COMPLAINT IN THE NHTSA DATA BASE? *TR
