Toyota Tundra Lemon Law

Repeated limp mode events on the Tundra's V35A-FTS engine represent a substantial impairment of the vehicle's use and safety, especially if they occur at highway speeds. Under the Song-Beverly Act, turbocharger and engine control defects that trigger limp mode are clear warranty failures. If two or more repair attempts have not resolved the issue, you likely meet the Lemon Law presumption threshold.

Yes. A complete loss of power while driving at highway speeds is one of the most serious safety defects recognized under the Song-Beverly Act. The Lemon Law presumption for safety-related defects requires only two repair attempts. If you have experienced this issue even once after an initial repair, consult a Lemon Law attorney immediately and also file a complaint with NHTSA to create a formal safety record.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, if your Tundra has been out of service for a cumulative total of 30 or more calendar days for warranty repairs (not necessarily consecutive), the vehicle is presumed to be a lemon. This 30-day threshold applies regardless of how many separate repair visits it took. Ensure you have documentation showing the drop-off and pick-up dates for each repair visit.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, your refund includes the full purchase price, sales tax, registration fees, and finance charges. Aftermarket accessories that were installed by the selling dealer as part of the purchase may be included. Accessories you purchased and installed independently are typically not part of the refund, but you can remove them from the vehicle before returning it to Toyota.
