Car at approximately 2 mph at indoor parking garage. My foot was not on the gas pedal when car accelerated suddenly. Turned ignition off and was able to stop car before impact with several other vehicles.
On October 2013 I approached a red light (no car in front of me) the road surface was wet and the abs kicked in. When I applied the brake hard, the engine started to accelerate and I couldn't hold the truck back. I went through the red light avoiding an accident. I called the Toyota dealer and was told that I probably did not press down on the brake hard enough. On January 2014 the same thing occurred. Here again I was fortunate that another vehicle was not in front of me and this time I went through a stop sign. I called the dealer and had it checked out. They found nothing wrong. March 15th it happened again. Once again I was lucky that no vehicle was in front of me, but I now brake way in advance of a light or stop sign because of fear. This time when the engine started to accelerate I got off the brake and went right back on and the engine stopped accelerating. I once again put it in the garage and they found nothing wrong. I think that the unintentional acceleration is triggered when hard pressure is applied to the brakes when the abs kicks in. I'm not a rookie driver. I've been driving Tacomas for over 30 years. This is my 4th one. After happening three times, it is definitely a problem with the truck. This is a possible serious accident waiting to happen. What can I do to get Toyota to correct this problem? thank youi.
Toyota dealer avoiding mandated accelerator pedal repair to 2006 Toyota Tacoma. On three different occasions my local Toyota dealer has either not received parts, out of parts or will require me to leave them the car for an unspecified time (while providing me with no alternative transportation). I suspect, but have no proof, that this Toyota dealer attempting to avoid performing the mandated repair. I am ready to re-sell this truck but would like to have this mandated repair performed.
Stuck gas pedal on my Tacoma truck.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). I have filed a complaint with consumer affairs as well as Toyota experience regarding the gas pedal / floor mat issue. This has occurred two times to myself as well as three times to my husband, thankfully it did not result in any injuries. I want my floor mats replaced at the least, my floor is damaged by not being able to use mats and the fear of it talking off really prevents me from driving it without extreme caution and constant worrying. I was given a customer case # 1002131342 and was told to speak with marisol betancourt because they were under the impression that there were some new mats available but this was the response I received from: ---- marisol betancourt [xxx] wrote: ============= [xxx] I spoke to you on the phone regarding your concern about your vehicle's pedal and floor mats. The service writer named kevin hollinger pulled your vehicle's VIN number to see if it was under recall and he informed me that your vehicle is not under recall. If you have further questions please feel free to contact kevin hollinger or myself. Thank you, marisol betancourt customer relations manager Toyota chula vista [xxx] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.
