2010 Toyota Tundra Fuel System Problems

Gas Pump: Over the last few months, the vehicle has stalled twice, with the engine not functioning. Upon turning the ignition switch, the starter engages and the engine cranks, but it does not sustain operation. In both cases, the vehicle was able to start and run only after numerous attempts, exceeding 10 to 15, while consistently pressing the gas pedal.

While driving my Tundra, I heard a bumping and scraping sound beneath the truck. Upon further examination, the front Fuel Tank strap had corroded and broken into 2 pieces leaving only the rear fuel tank strap to retain the fuel tank.

TOYOTA REFUSED TO HONOR A KNOWN ISSUE, CAUSE THE TSB EXPIRED IN MARCH 2020. WITH THE ADMISSION OF A KNOWN PROBLEM THEY SHOULD HONOR AND FIX THE PROBLEM TSB 01-60-11, AIR INJECTION PUMP

THE GAS GAUGE IS NO LONGER GIVING ACCURATE READINGS OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE GAS TANK. THE GAS WAS AT 1/4 OF A TANK AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT IT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER THE AAA GUY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FUEL PUMP MIGHT HAVE GONE OUT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID HE JUST FIXED THE SAME PROBLEM BUT ON A TOYOTA SEQUOIA WHICH IT ENDED UP BEING THE GAS GAUGE NOT READING HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. AFTER INSPECTION OF MY TRUCK HE SAID THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE THE TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAD THAT HE FIXED . MY TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT, IT SHOULDN'T BE GIVING ME THESE PROBLEMS ALREADY.

TOYOTA 2010 TUNDRA 4.6L DOUBLE CAB VEHICLE. EXTREMELY SENSATIVE GAS PEDAL. NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE FROM COMPLETE OR SLOW ROLLING STOP WITHOUT LURCHING AHEAD QUICKLY. NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY WITHOUT WHEEL SPIN IN WET OR SNOW COVERED ROADS MAKING THIS A SAFETY HAZZARD. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZZARD BECAUSE I CANNOT BACK UP OR GO FORWARD SAFELY IN PARKING SITUATIONS OR PARKING LOTS. IF THERE IS ANYONE AHEAD OR BEHIND THE TRUCK - EVEN FOR A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE, I DO NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE I CANNOT BE SURE IT WON'T MOVE AHEAD OR BEHIND UNCONTROLABLY. TOYOTA DEALER KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA. DEALER RE-SYNKED GAS PEDAL TO ENGINE DRIVE BY WIRE COMPONENTS BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I SUSPECT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DIGITAL ENCODER ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE IN THE ECU, AND THE STEPPER MOTOR OPERATING THE THROTTLE BUTTERFLY ON THE AIR INTAKE. SERVICE MANAGER AT LOCAL DEALER WITNESSED MY DRIVING THE TRUCK AND SYMPTOMS, THEN DROVE THE TRUCK AND EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOMS. HE OFFERED NO SOLUTION. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CONSTANT. SOMETIMES IT IS EXTREME, OTHER TIMES IT IS LESS. BUT THE GAS PEDAL IS ALWAYS VERY SENSITIVE. TRUCK WAS ACQUIRED USED WITH 6,700 MILES ON IT AND NOW HAS 8,000 MILES OF USE. ENGINE RUNS SMOOTHLY, STARTS QUICKLY, GETS RATED GAS MILEAGE, AND DRIVES SMOOTHLY ONCE IN MOTION. *TR
