Toyota dealership inspection reported on 10/05/16 that actuator assembly failed. Mileage 122,482. Disabiling, abs brake, speedometer,odometer, cruise control,and displaying engine check lights for abs. This occurred one day after replacing water pump, water hoses, serpentine belt, and fluids associated with service. Cost estimate $2642. 78.

Cruise control randomly stops working. Works perfectly for a few days then quits. Sometimes the cruise light is illuminated but the cruise control still does not function. The issue seems to be related to the steering column. Sometimes when the steering wheel is turned lock to lock the cruise control then operates normally. Local mechanic says this may be the "clock gear" which is very expensive to replace.
The contact owns 2008 Toyota Tundra. While driving 65 mph utilizing the cruise control, he noticed that the vehicle was traveling at speeds greater than what was exhibited on the speedometer. Prior to the recent failure the contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer where repairs were made under NHTSA campaign id numbers 09v388000 and 10v017000, vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. The current and failure mileages were 11000.
Uncontrollable acceleration to 100+ mph. Will not slow or stop even while pressing brake with both feet. Continues to accelerate. Cruise control will not override acceleration when brake is applied. Had to put in neutral, and turn the key while hitting bar ditch, nearly flipping truck and colliding with two 18 wheelers.
Truck was in cruise control. Accelerated to pass slower traffic. Let off throttle. Truck went to full throttle. Could not get truck to decelerate. Had to stand on brakes to bring to a stop. Truck needs new rotors and pads Toyota will not help. Occurred once. The consumer stated the floor mat and gas pedal can interact. When the all weathr mat is not clipped in place, and is moved under the gas pedal, it will become fully depressed. The mat can trap the pedal. Updated 11/13/09 updated 03/29/10.
I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra 4wd, large v8 . While applying the brake I have had three instances were the vehicle suddenly accelerated. Each time this occurred at a low speed[2-6mph]. ] further pressure on the brake stopped the vehicle. There was no way both pedals were pressed. I find the accelerator to be very touchy. I find myself having to engage the auto differential lock to control my acceleration from a stopped position. If I don't the accelerator causes the vehicle to spin the tires. I can't help feeling this is related to the cruise control components. Thanks for your time.
