CONSUMING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1K MILES IS UNACCEPTABLE! MY ENGINE AT THE TIME I DISCOVERED THIS ONLY HAD 50K MILES ON IT. IF I WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE (5K-10K) MY ENGINE WILL FAIL DUE TO LOW LEVEL OF OIL LEFT, IF ANY.

MY 2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DRIVEN TO A NEARBY O' REILLY'S FOR A CODE CHECK. THE CODE WAS P0418 WHICH IS THE AIR INDUCTION PUMP WHICH IS AN EMISSION'S CODE. THE TRUCK THEN WENT INTO A LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHICH MEANT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO GO ANY FASTER DUE TO AN EMISSION'S CODE PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO A LIMP MODE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS AIR INJECTION PUMP FOR THE 2007-2010 TUNDRA MODELS. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO HELP COVER THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON TUNDRAS. I READ THAT THE SAME FAULTY AIR PUMP WHICH ALLOWS MOISTURE TO ENTER IS STILL BEING USED IN MY 2011 TUNDRA MODEL. THIS IS A $2,200 REPAIR WHICH TOYOTA SHOULD COVER SINCE IT HAS OCCURRED TO THEIR EARLIER MODELS AND MINE AS WELL. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY REPAIR, BUT ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOUR VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ON AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM.

AFTER DISCUSSION WITH MASTER MECHANIC AND A SERVICE MANAGER I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED IT EARLIER MODELS UP TO AND INCLUDING 2010 TUNDRA WHERE TOYOTA TOOK CARE OF THE REPAIR . BUT THEY CONTINUED TO USE THIS PART UNTIL LATE 2011. MY TRUCK WAS DELIVERED IN FALL OF 2010 AND HAD THE OLDER STYLE PART. THEY CHANGED THE PART DESIGN AND NOW IT PREVENTS MOISTURE TO ENTER THE PUMP AND PREVENTS CORROSION WHICH CAUSED PUMP FAILURE. THE ORIGINAL PART HAD FLARED HEAD TUBING AND NO SEAL THE NEW DESIGN HAS A SEALED TUBE END. TOYOTA NEW THIS WOULD FAIL YET THEY DID NOT MAKE THE RECALL I HAVE REQUESTED A REIMBURSEMENT BUT THE HAVE SO FAR FAILED TO DO SO THIS COST ME OVER $2400 THIS EXPENSE SHOULD BE ENTIRELY ON TOYOTA
