Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 324)
Engine →3 issues
Your vehicle stalled while driving at 50 MPH and then hesitated, refusing to accelerate above that speed. The check engine light came on, and while the engine restarted, the stalling happened again. Your dealer diagnosed a failed secondary air injection pump as the cause. The fix will involve replacing the secondary air injection pump.

Your truck has experienced three engine oil leaks since April 2022, with oil dripping from the valve cover and cam tower onto the hot exhaust manifold. You can smell burning oil inside the cabin, and you're concerned about a potential fire risk. The dealer has repaired the first two leaks and is currently working on the driver's side cam tower leak, though Toyota has declined to address the recurring issue. This will likely require replacement of valve cover gaskets and cam tower seals to stop the leaks permanently.

Unknown Or Other →3 issues
Your truck's emissions system keeps malfunctioning and forcing the engine into a reduced-power mode, limiting you to about 40 mph and creating a safety hazard while driving. You've spent thousands of dollars trying to fix this problem over several years without success. Resolving this typically involves diagnosing and replacing faulty emissions sensors or control modules.

Structure,fuel/propulsion System →2 issues
Your 2008 Tundra's fuel tank straps and rear frame have developed severe rust and corrosion, even after Toyota's rust protection treatment in 2017. The fuel tank is at risk of falling out due to completely rotted straps, and large holes (over 10mm) have been found in the frame, making the vehicle unsafe to drive. Toyota has determined the vehicle is unrepairable due to lack of available replacement frames, and you're pursuing a settlement claim for a buyback under the 2016 Toyota frame rust class action.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Your truck's frame has developed a large perforation (about two fingers wide) and the gas tank support has rusted through, despite passing a corrosion inspection in 2017 with rust-preventive treatment applied. You believe this is a safety defect related to premature undercoating failure in a salt-heavy climate, and you've requested a frame replacement or buyback from Toyota without success. The repair would likely involve either complete frame replacement or gas tank support repair and re-coating to prevent future rust.

Air Bags →2 issues
Your airbag warning light is illuminated on the dashboard, but you haven't experienced any crash or incident that would normally trigger it. This indicates a potential problem with your airbag system that needs to be diagnosed by a technician. The issue could involve a faulty sensor, wiring problem, or other component within the airbag system that requires professional inspection and repair.

Your truck bed floor is sagging and making crunchy sounds where it bolts to the frame, even though you haven't hauled heavy loads or used a bedliner. You can't see what damage might be underneath the flooring yet, but the rest of the bed structure is solid. If left unrepaired, the bed could eventually separate from the truck.

Electrical System →2 issues
You discovered a major mileage discrepancy on your 2008 Toyota Tundra after purchase. The odometer showed 43,893 miles when you bought it, but a CarFax report later revealed the actual mileage was 243,893 miles — indicating the odometer may have been tampered with or rolled back. This is odometer fraud, which affects the true value and condition of your vehicle. You may need to consult with an attorney or your state's consumer protection agency, as this involves potential tampering with the vehicle's instrument cluster.

You discovered that your 2008 Toyota Tundra's actual mileage is significantly higher than what was shown at purchase. The odometer read 118,000 miles when you bought it, but service records and a Carfax report indicate the vehicle has actually traveled around 292,000-300,000 miles. This suggests the odometer may have been tampered with or rolled back before you purchased the truck. You may want to consult with a mechanic or attorney about odometer fraud, as this affects the vehicle's true value and remaining service life.

Suspension,fuel/propulsion System →1 issue
While washing the underside of your truck, you noticed the rear fuel tank strap had rusted completely off, leaving the fuel tank hanging dangerously from only the front strap. The front strap is heavily corroded, and the surrounding frame rails and inner structure are also severely rusted and rotted out. This is a serious safety concern that requires immediate inspection and repair of the fuel tank mounting system and affected frame components.

Suspension,structure →1 issue
Your fuel tank has detached from underneath your truck due to severe corrosion, even though a previous recall applied a special protective coating to prevent this exact problem. A fellow driver alerted you to the fuel tank hanging from the underside of the vehicle. The dealer was contacted but declined to help, and the manufacturer has not yet been notified. Repairing this will likely involve replacing the fuel tank and inspecting the mounting brackets and straps for rust damage.

Vehicle Speed Control →1 issue
Your accelerator pedal stuck in the pressed position on five separate occasions, causing your truck to continue accelerating even after you released the pedal and applied the brakes. You had to manually lift the pedal with your foot to stop the acceleration. This happened in both city and highway driving and created dangerous situations where you nearly hit other vehicles. Your Toyota dealership confirmed all previous accelerator recalls were completed but refused to service the uncontrolled acceleration problem.

Structure,unknown Or Other →1 issue
Your truck's fuel tank straps rusted out and became a safety hazard, forcing you to stop driving it. A mechanic said they could be welded, but it would cost thousands of dollars. You believe Toyota should be responsible since they previously said your frame was fine during a recall inspection, when it apparently wasn't.

Power Train,electrical System,engine →1 issue
Your truck suddenly displayed the check engine, VSC (vehicle stability control), and traction control warning lights. The shop found error code P2440, which put your truck in limp mode with unpredictable shifting. This typically indicates an issue with the secondary air injection system that's affecting engine performance and transmission shifting.
