Toyota Tundra problems? We get it. No matter how reliable, your truck can run into trouble. And when it does, Fremont Foreign Auto, right here in Fremont, knows how to fix it. We specialize in repairing Toyota Tundra engine issues. From oil leaks to cracked exhaust manifolds, we’ve seen it all.
If you’re in Sunol, our Fremont shop is just down the road. Let’s talk about the five most common problems we see with Toyota Tundras—and how we fix them.
Oil Leaks (2007-2013 Tundras)
Drip. Drip. Drip. Sound familiar? Oil leaks plague Toyota Tundras, especially in the 2007-2013 models with the 5.7L V8. The culprit? Gaskets. The timing cover gasket wears down, causing oil to leak out. Ignoring it? Big mistake. Low oil leads to engine damage.
Here’s how we fix it: We remove the worn-out gasket and replace it with a new, top-quality seal. It’s a job that requires precision, and our techs have the skills to get it right. We don’t just fix leaks—we make sure they don’t come back.

Air Injection System Failure (2010-2017 Tundras)
Got a “Check Engine” light? Tundra models from 2010 to 2017 are notorious for air injection system failures. When the air pump or valves fail, it’s a problem. Your truck might go into “limp mode,” cutting engine power and making it a drag to drive.
Here’s our solution: We’ll scan your truck, find the issue, and replace the faulty parts. It’s a detailed fix, but we make it quick and seamless. Once the air injection system is repaired, your Tundra will be back to running at full strength. No more warning lights.

Excessive Oil Consumption (2007-2019 Tundras)
Burning through oil faster than usual? You’re not alone. Tundras from 2007 to 2019 often suffer from excessive oil consumption due to worn piston rings. You might notice that you’re adding oil more frequently, or worse, see blue smoke pouring from the exhaust.
Our fix: We run an oil consumption test first. Then, if necessary, we replace the piston rings. This involves taking apart the engine—a serious job, but we’re up to the challenge. Once we’ve replaced the rings, your engine will run clean and efficient again.

Air-Fuel Ratio Sensor Issues (2008-2015 Tundras)
When your Tundra’s engine isn’t running smoothly, one of the first things we look at is the air-fuel ratio sensors. For 2008-2015 Tundras, these sensors can clog up, causing poor performance and lower fuel efficiency. Your engine needs the right mix of air and fuel, and when the sensors fail, that mix is off.
What’s the solution? We replace the bad sensors with high-quality OEM parts. It’s a quick swap that makes a world of difference. Your Tundra will run like it’s supposed to, without the sluggish performance or poor fuel economy.
Is your engine running rough?
Cracked Exhaust Manifolds (2005-2010 Tundras)
Ticking sounds under the hood? Don’t ignore them. Tundras from 2005 to 2010 are known for cracked exhaust manifolds. When the exhaust manifold cracks, you’ll hear ticking, smell fumes, and see a drop in engine performance.
Here’s what we do: We replace the cracked manifold with a new one. It’s a tough job, but our technicians are experienced. We’ll make sure the new manifold is installed perfectly, and your engine will breathe easy again. This repair not only restores performance but also stops those nasty exhaust fumes from leaking into the cabin.
