general problems of the 1999 Toyota Tacoma

While driving approximately 35 mph the I applied pressure to the brake pedal and the vehicle accelerated.

The contact owns a 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 v6. The contact stated that the vehicle abnormally accelerated and crashed into the garage. The vehicle was shut off and the key was not in the ignition when the failure occurred. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who stated the problem was caused by a starter shortage. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Leaving automotive shop from having regular oil change; pulled into turn lane, behind several cars, put foot on brake-engine accelerated resulting in rear -end collision have had several additional occurrences that did not result in collision. The accident resulted in ticketing, increase insurance and points on license.

When heating motor comes on car accelerates. Dealer cannot find source of problem.

While trying to accelerate up to local or highway speed the 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup I have owned from day one has always had a problem accelerating up to speed, creating the danger of being struck from behind by traffic. I have been complaining about this defect for years and have documentation to prove it. The just blow you off over and over again until you just give up and either sell the vehicle or just deal with it. I am taking this time to offer you this complaint to illustrate how this company has an undeserved reputation for reliability and customer satisfaction.
