Complaint Summary

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Owner Narrative

I STARTED MY TRUCK UP YESTERDAY JUST RANDOMLY TO GO TO THE STORE. AS SOON AS I STARTED IT A BUNCH OF WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, THE 4WD LO LIGHT WAS BLINKING, THE VSC OFF LIGHT WAS BLINKING, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON. I THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. I TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON AND THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. I THEN PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO GO TO A FRIENDS HOUSE WHO HAS A LITTLE COMPUTER THAT TELLS YOU WHAT ERRORS ARE GOING OFF WHEN YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON LIKE AN AUTOBODY. AS I PULLED ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK WOULD BARELY GO. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT USUALLY DOES BUT THE TRUCK WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE. WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE HE PLUGGED THE COMPUTER IN AND IT GAVE ME AN ERROR CODE OF P2440. ONCE I LOOKED MORE INTO IT I FOUND THAT IT WAS THE AIR INDUCTION PUMP THAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH TUNDRA'S WITH MILEAGE BETWEEN 40K AND 60K. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHY THE VEHICLE IS NOT ACCELERATING LIKE IT SUPPOSED TO. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME CONCERN. THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD TO ME. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT WOULD JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUT MY ENGINE DOWN TO THE SLOW CRAWL THAT IT IS DOING IF I AM ON A TURNPIKE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WOULD BELIEVE THAT THERE WOULD DEFINITELY BE AN ACCIDENT WHICH I AM SURE IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. I AM JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE OR MAYBE SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. LIKE A RECALL THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF. *TR
