At less then 50k miles on the odometer and 900 miles from home my truck decided to get a check engine light and trac off light caused by codes p2440 and p2442 and p2445. Merry christmas to me. These codes put me into limp mode while on the freeway in snowy and icy conditions. I could not maintain speed with the flow of traffic as i was trying to get to the shoulder with traffic zooming all around me, dangerous and…

Almost lost control of vehicle when the trucks performance jumped into limp mode "trac off" as i was driving. Loss of speed and performance caused me to be a driving hazard. 2 vendors today found the codes p2440 and p2442, which appear to have triggered my truck into "trac off" and "check engine" light on. Mode causes my truck to only drive about 45 significantly impacts performance and dangerous to drive. This is a…

I was pulling out on to the highway and my truck failed to exceed 30 mph with oncoming traffic which nearly caused an accident. Upon inspection by my toyota dealership, they explained that my secondary air injection valves were stuck open (p2440, p2442) which caused the truck to lose all power. I was then told that since i am no longer under warranty (my truck is only 5 years old with 48,000 miles on it) that toyota…

Secondary air injection system failure caused my vehicle to enter limp mode in a high speed/high traffic area. "limp mode" renders the vehicle incapable of speeds higher than 30 mph. Causing a hazard to other motorists, i exited the highway as quickly as possible. Upon researching the topic i can plainly see this is something that is quite common with my particular vehicle. However, other models made by the same…

Driving at high way speed; the abs light, parking brake light, traction light, lost power to windows, a/c, radio, power steering, engine was running rough, then the check engine light came on. Could be a safety issue of control of vehicle for drivers not paying attention. Toyota dealer said the root cause was a bad cell in battery that caused the ign#2 fuse to be blown. These batteries have known issues to be bad…

P2442 toyota secondary air injection system switching valve stuck open bank 2 i have got this code three times now and the secondary air injection pump and valves will have to be replaced. There is 33,282 miles on the truck right now. Many, many, many complaints online about this issue but toyota is ignoring it. $1900 fix is very steep for a truck with 33k miles.

Vehicle was in motion on rainy, wet highway when check engine light went on and traction control was shut off. The secondary air injection switching valve is apparently stuck closed, which for some reason shuts off the traction control. It is my understanding from speaking with other tacoma and tundra owners that had the valves gotten stuck open, the vehicle goes into "limp mode" which automatically decreases speed…

Error 2440/2442 came up a few days ago when starting the truck to go to work(cool morning) - secondary air injection system switching valve stuck open bank 1/2. I first noticed that it indeed put the truck into limp mode, which causes the engine to decrease power so i could hardly accelerate.(pressure sensor in exhaust went off because valves were stuck open) i knew exactly what the problem was due to many having…

P2440-p2442 error code. Secondary air injection valves and pump. A poorly engineered part that continues to break and toyota wont address the issue like it has on the tundra & sequana (sp). They know they have a bad part .

I was driving to work this morning and when entering a highway my truck completely stopped accelerating and would not go over 40 mph, anf would not go over 1200 rpms. I have researched the codes that popped up from my check engine light, and have found a ton of other people are having the same issue. The code is p2442, and indicates a failed air injector that the manufacturer has not issued a recall or safety…

A problem common to toyota's occurred with my vehicle. The secondary air injection pump failed. The tacoma did not have sufficient power and would not reach certain rpm's. The bill is $2,500. The dealership told me it happens quite often with toyotas. They have said this is not part of the powertrain warranty.

Secondary air injection switching valve failure stuck in open position causing limp mode in the truck. Truck is not able to get to speed above 40 mph. This happened as i was pulling out of my neighborhood onto a state route with speed limit of 55 mph and cars going way faster than that. This could pose a danger if situations where speed it required to get out of the way of another car. Truck only has 57k miles on…

The secondary air injection pump's valves went bad with the vehicle only having 30k miles. This caused the truck to go into limp mode and did not allow for acceleration while driving. This is a very dangerous aspect when driving on the freeway. Nothing happened to the vehicle to cause this failure, it just started up one day and was bad.

Takata recall i stopped the at traffic light ion city street without rain. I just started driving, when light changed to green, there was no steering feeling at all for a few second. The car waved side by side twice without my controlling. Then i drove slowly and carefully, it's ok. I bought car to toyota dealer the next day, they said steering system is ok, may be because of wet belt.

There is a plastic foot rest on the driver's side floor board that comes loose and gets tangled up in the driver's feet while driving. This creates a driving hazard and could cause an accident.
