I PURCHASED ON 2010 TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB 4X4 WITH A 5.7 V-8 ENGINE ON AUGUST 1, 2010. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY 2010 TUNDRA HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE FIRST SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM OCCURRED ON 08/26/2010 (1,097 MILES) WHILE BEING DRIVEN ABOUT 10-15 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE 4X4 LO AND RSCA LIGHTS WERE FLASHING WHILE POWER WAS LOST/REDUCED TO ENGINE/TRANMISSION. ON 8/27/2010, THE SELLING DEALER CHECKED THE CONNECTIONS AFTER RECEIVING CODES C1201 AND P060A AND CLAIMED THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON 09/26/2010 (2,312 MILES) I WAS DRIVING 55-60 MPH WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON AS BEFORE AND I LOST/REDUCED POWER TO THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS TIME THE A LOCAL DEALER VERIFIED THAT CODE P060A RETURNED AND CLAIMED THE CAUSE WAS A BAD ECM PROCESSOR. THEY REPLACED THE ECM PROCESSOR CLAIMING THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED. THE THIRD TIME WAS ON OCTOBER 31, 2010, (2,480 MILES) THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND BEING WARMED UP WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE THEN TO SEE IF IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH POWER LOSS TO THE ENGINE. AGAIN THERE WAS REDUCED POWER TO THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. NOTIFIED TOYOTA WHO HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED IN AND THEY RECOVERED CODE P1614. THIS TIME THE DEALER CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS THE R&R AIR ASSEMBLY STATING THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, REPLACED IT AND CLAIMED THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA CORPORATION AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP BOTH HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. ON 11/9/2010, THE ARBITRATION THE BOARD RELATED THAT "THERE HAVE NOT BEEN AN UNREASONABLE NUMBER OF REPAIRS FOR THE SAME NONCONFORMITY." THEREFORE, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM FOR A NEW VEHICLE. AN ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN/REDUCED POWER TO THE ENGINE CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE TO ME IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM.
