2009 Toyota Tundra Other Problems

Your accelerator pedal stuck in the open position twice recently, causing your engine to rev very high and your tires to spin rapidly. You narrowly avoided driving into traffic by quickly shifting into neutral to slow the engine down. This is a serious safety issue that requires immediate inspection and repair of the accelerator system.

Your check engine light came on and a diagnostic scan revealed a fault with an air valve—the same part Toyota issued an extended warranty for on your truck model due to a known issue. The dealership replaced this part in 2014, but the same problem has returned four years later, and Toyota customer service refused to cover the repair under the extended warranty since the part was already replaced once. You're concerned that even after another repair, the problem will keep recurring every few years.
