VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 1994 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER THAT WAS PURCHASED IN MAY 1996. OVER THE PAST 12 YEARS THIS VEHICLE SOMETIMES ACCELERATES WHILE I AM DRIVING. I IMMEDIATELY PRESS THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WILL IDLE BACK DOWN. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO SIERRA TOYOTA WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS PROVES THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING LONG BEFORE 2006 AND NOT JUST CARS. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NEVER PIN POINT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LINGERING MARKS FOR CLUES. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO TOYOTA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I LOVE MY TRUCK AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS JUST MY VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER. IT HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WILL DROP DOWN, THE VSC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON, AND THE CAR IS UNCONTROLLABLE TO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES, ALL AT COMPLETELY RANDOM TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT 4,900 MILES. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED AND WE DRIVING 75 MPH DOWN HWY 5. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD OR NO TELLING WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED. ANOTHER TIME THE SUSPENSION COLLAPSED AND A FRONT AXLE BROKE. THE AXLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FOUND. THIS LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON 2-22-10. I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY OVER TO CHUCK PATTERSON TOYOTA IN CHICO, CA. THEY PUT IT ON THEIR COMPUTER TO TEST IT AND WE WERE TOLD THEY HAD NO CODE TO FIX IT. THEY TOLD US TO CALL TOYOTA AND THEY WOULD DO THE SAME TO TRY AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM. AFTER MORE THEN A WEEK OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND THEY TOLD US WE NEEDED TO PICK UP OUR CAR AS THEY CAN NOT FIX THE IT!!! ON TOP OF THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WE ARE ON OUR 3RD SET OF TIRES, TWO OF WHICH HAVE BEEN RATED 50,000 MILE. WE HAVE APPLIED FOR ARBITRATION. WE ARE COMPLETELY DISSATISFIED WITH CHUCK PATTERSON TOYOTA AND TOYOTA. WE FEEL TOYOTA IS IGNORING OUR CASE. WE CANNOT BELIEVE WE WERE ASKED TO COME GET OUR VEHICLE AND IT WOULD BE DEALT WITH THEN (THE 6TH TIME) . WE FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR OUR FAMILY TO DRIVE. IN ADDITION, BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE RECORDS AND THE FAULTY SUSPENSION BEING RECORDED NUMEROUS TIMES, WE CANNOT SELL OR TRADE THE VEHICLE WITH A GOOD CONSCIENCE KNOWING THAT THE SUSPENSION COULD COLLAPSE AT ANY GIVEN TIME!! *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). PERHAPS THIS COULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON YOUR DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FAILURE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THEIR VARIOUS TOYOTAS. ACCELERATION ISSUES EMERGED WITH MY 2000 MODEL TOYOTA-- [XXX] IN 2000, I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA LAND CRUISER.AT AROUND 45,000 MILES (STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER?S WARRANTY) OR AROUND THE END OF THE YEAR 2003, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH MY LAND CRUISER NOT ACCELERATING?EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, AND I WAS STILL DRIVING. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I TURNED MY ENGINE BACK ON AND MY CRUISER WAS WORKING AGAIN. I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM CONSISTENTLY, BUT SPORADICALLY OVER THE NEXT 4 YEARS. I NEVER KNEW WHEN MY CAR WOULD STOP ACCELERATING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WOULD NOT ADVANCE FORWARD, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CRUISER TO THE CLOSEST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, MR. BRIAN MURPHY, AND MY VEHICLE WAS ASSIGNED TO THE MASTER MECHANIC ROHAN TO EVALUATE. ROHAN KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND AGREED IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. ROHAN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT WHEN I PRESS MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, A SENSOR CONTROLS THE ACCELERATION FUNCTION, AND THAT MY SENSOR WAS BAD, AND HE HAD TO REPLACE IT. THE SENSOR ISSUE WAS NEVER RESOLVED, AND OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS, I CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR LOSING ACCELERATION? DURING DRIVING. ROHAN CONTINUED TO TRY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE? BUT NOTHING HE DID EVER RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. IN MAY 2007, MY SON [XXX] DROVE THE LAND CRUISER A SHORT DISTANCE TO SCHOOL . THE LAND CRUISER LOST ACCELERATION WHILE [XXX] WAS DRIVING AND HE COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR AND HIT AN OAK TREE AND TOTALED THE VEHICLE. HAD HE BEEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE, HE COULD HAVE CONTROLLED THE CAR. *TR

I, MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES HAVE EXPERIENCED A STICKING ACCELERATOR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ON MY 2009 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO THE FLOOR MATS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, JOE MACHENS, IN COLUMBIA MISSOURI COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I REQUESTED THEY ESCALATE THE PROBLEM TO THEIR REGIONAL DIVISION WHO STATED THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE MAKING THIS COMPLAINT. CLEARLY, I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ISSUED THE SAME COMPLAINT AND WHILE THEY DOCUMENTED MY CALL, DID NOT OFFER ANY SOLUTIONS. THERE ARE SERVICE DOCUMENTS OF MY ISSUE WITH THE TOYOTA DEALER. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT RANDOM TIMES, WITHOUT WARNING, AT ALL DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SPEED. IT IS QUITE FRANKLY, SCARY. I HAVE TRIED TO LIFT UP THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF IT WAS "STUCK". THE ACCELERATOR WOULD MOVE BUT IT WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRONIC. PLEASE UNDERSTAND I AM A BIG FAN OF THE LANDCRUISER LINE FROM TOYOTA. I HAVE A 92 LNADCRUISER WHICH HAS 250,000 MILES ON IT. HOWEVER, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ADD THE 09 LANDCRUISER TO THE RECALL LIST BEFORE IT HURTS OR INJURIES ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

ON A FEW OCCASIONS (4-8 TIMES), THE GAS PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STUCK, IN SUCH A WAY, THAT THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ACCELERATED. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM A COMPLETE STOP GOING UP TO 20-25 MPH, AND WHILE ON THE FWY, DRIVING APPROX. 65 MPH. THE FIRST TIME, WHILE DRIVING FROM COMPLETE STOP TO ABOUT 20-25 MPH, MY WIFE NOTICED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING, SHE TURNED INTO A SMALLER STREET, THEN FORCED THE SHIFTER INTO PARK, AND PULLED UP THE E-BRAKE. ALL OTHER TIMES, WE SIMPLY TAP, OR PUMP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR IT TO GET 'UNSTUCK'. *TR

DEAR SIR; CONCERNING THE TOYOTA-RECALL-PROBLEMS, THERE WERE/ARE MANY CASES EVEN IN JAPAN, ALTHOUGH THE JAPANESE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT DID NOT ANNOUNCE ON IT FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU NEED SUCH AN DATA ON THE INPORTANT TROUBLE CASES IN JAPAN FOR THE NEWLY TOYOTA IN FUTURE, I WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME PHENOMENON-DATA ON MY CASES AS AN USER, I THINK: PARTICULARLY, UNEXPECTEDLY HIGH ROTATION OF THE ENGINE /ALTERNATIVELY SLOW ROTATION SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY STOP. IT MEANS "UNEXPECTEDLY ENGINE-BRAKE" AS YOU KNOW. ANYWAY, ALL OF THESE UNEXPECTED HIGHLY/SLOWLY ROTATION OF THE HIGH VOLUME-ENGINES WERE DEPENDED UPON THE ETCS, I ALSO THINK/ BELIVE EVEN AT THIS TIME AS AN USER FOR A LONG TIME WITH HIGHLY SENSITIVE TECHNICS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENSION ON THESE PROBLEMS FOR A NEWLY TOYOYA AS A JAPANESE. (NOTE) I HAVE BEEN IN THE UC-BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, A LONG TIME BEFORE. *TR

MY 2000 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER HAS EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE UNDERCARRIAGE RUST SIMILAR TO THE TUNDRA MODELS REPORTED. RECENTLY THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE FAILED DUE TO BRAKE LINES RUSTING THROUGH. WHEN WE TRIED TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, IT DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE SINCE IT HAD RUSTED THROUGH AS WELL AND WAS INOPERABLE. FORTUNATELY WE WERE NOT DRIVING FAST AS WE WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CRASHING. *TR
