What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 toyota tundra. While driving at approximately 60 MPH, there were flames coming from the fuel lines, the engine compartment, and under the vehicle near the rear windows. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries reported. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
On two different occasions I was driving my tundra on the freeway at approx. 70 MPH. My truck lost power and I almost caused accidents on both instances since I could not accelerate past 40 MPH. I had to manage my way out of the freeway to a safe place. 2two diagnostics were performed and I received codes p0418, p1604, c1241, p2445, p2441.
