POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS TRAVELING ON THE PARKWAY, PITTSBURGH NEAR PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ON MARCH 8, 2009. WHERE THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED IS 3 LANES. I ACCELERATED TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE LANE, THE THROTTLE STUCK WIDE OPEN AND I WAS SPEEDING AS FAST AS THIS VEHICLE COULD GO, I TRIED BRAKING WITH ONE FOOT, THEN 2 FEET, NOTHING WAS SLOWING ME DOWN. I WAS CONCENTRATING ON WHAT WAS AROUND ME AND NOT THE SPEEDOMETER OR GAUGES. I NOTICED A GRAVEL BERM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PARKWAY AND THOUGHT MY ONLY WAY OF GETTING THIS TRUCK STOPPED WOULD BE TO TRY AND GET INTO THE GRAVEL BUT KNEW AT THE SPEED IN WHICH I WAS GOING THAT I WOULD PROBABLY FLIP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME WERE GETTING CLOSER AND I KNEW THAT I HAD TO GET THIS VEHICLE STOPPED SOMEHOW. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WAS SCREAMING - IT SOUNDED AS IF THE ENGINE WOULD COME THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK. THE SPEED AT WHICH I WAS TRAVELING STILL PROPELLED ME UP THE GRAVEL BERM, WHEN I CAME TO A NEAR STOP, I SHUT THE IGNITION OFF. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE FLOOR, THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT STUCK, THE FLOOR MATS WERE NO WHERE NEAR THE GAS OR BRAKE PEDAL. THE SMELL OF HOT BRAKES WAS QUITE EVIDENT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED NORMALLY. I CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION CAUTIOUSLY. THE NEXT DAY, MONDAY, MY HUSBAND AND ME TOOK THE TACOMA TO TOYOTA OF GREENSBURG WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AND IT WAS PUT ON THE COMPUTER AND SHOWED "NO ERROR CODES". THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH I HAD GONE ON-LINE THE NIGHT BEFORE TYPING "TOYOTA TACOMA ACCELERATION PROBLEMS" AND FOUND NUMEROUS ARTICLES. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I DID NOT WANT THIS VEHICLE THAT IT IS A "DEATH TRAP!" THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID, "WELL, I CAN TELL YOU WE ARE NOT GOING TO BUY IT BACK." I HAVE CONTACTED NHTSA AND SPOKE TO SCOTT YON WHO ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CALIFORNIA, I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND SPOKE TO DON LOMBARDO AND NICOLE RED WHO BLAMED THIS INCIDENT ON THE TACOMA RUBBER FLOOR MATS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2005 TACOMA ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM THREE TIMES NOW. THE LAST TIME BEING TONIGHT AFTER PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER AT WORK. THE TRUCK WAS ACCELERATING AND I WAS LITERALLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE WAS RACING AND WOULD NOT STOP. I THROUGH IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO EXPLODE! I HAVE NO RUGS IN MY VEHICLE, IT DID NOT COME WITH ANY, AND I WAS GOING TO GET THE ALL WEATHER MATS, BUT HAVE NOT BOUGHT THEM YET. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED. I DO CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE A FAIRLY EXPERIENCED DRIVER, I USE TO RACE A 70 CHEVELLE IN THE 1/4 MILE (THIS WAS MANY YEARS AGO.), IF I DID NOT HAVE SUCH EXPERIENCE I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE RAN THE CAR UP A TREE OR SOMETHING. I AM SCARED, I HAVE BEAT CANCER TWICE AND I'LL BE '!@#$% IF I AM GOING TO LET A FAULTY TACOMA TAKE ME OUT! *TR

I RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT A FRAME RUSTING PROBLEM THEY ARE HAVING ON TACOMA TRUCKS BUILT BETWEEN 2001-2004. THE FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY ON MY TRUCK WAS REPLACED SOON AFTER I PURCHASED IT BECAUSE IS WAS RUSTING FROM THE UNDERSIDE. NOW THE REAR BUMPER IS RUSTING THROUGH FROM THE UNDERSIDE AS WELL. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT THEIR RECENT RECALL THEY SAID ONLY THE FRAME WAS INCLUDED IN THE PROBLEM, NOT THE BUMPERS. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THEY HAVE A RUST PROBLEM EVERYWHERE UNDER THE VEHICLE SINCE MY FRONT BUMPER RUSTED SO QUICKLY AND NOW THE REAR BUMPER IS ALSO RUSTING THROUGH FROM THE UNDERSIDE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS JUST FOR RUSTING FRAMES. AS I STATED ABOVE, IT CERTAINLY APPEARS AS THOUGH THE RUST PROBLEM INVOLVES EVERYTHING UNDER THE VEHICLE. MY TRUCK IS A 2002 TACOMA AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. LIVING IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND (21122), WE HAVE HAD VERY FEW INSTANCES OF SNOW/SALT IN OUR AREA SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND I KEEP MY VEHICLE CLEAN AND ALWAYS USE THE UNDERCARRIAGE WASH WHEN GOING THROUGH THE CAR WASH. I BELIEVE TOYOTA DEFINITELY HAS A RUSTING PROBLEM AND SHOULD REPLACE MY REAR BUMPER AS THEY DID WITH THE RUSTING FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY. YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER IS APPRECIATED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TWICE THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH IN A WEEK. THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE ACCELERATED WHILE COMING TO A STOP BUT I HAD TIME TO PUMP THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATION STOPPED AND I DISMISSED IT AS A FLUKE OCCURRENCE BUT TODAY COMING TO WORK IT WAS WORSE AND I WAS GOING THROUGH A SCHOOL DISTRICT, I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN, BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT THE 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. I COULD NOT PUT ENOUGH FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP MY VEHICLE, MY BACK TIRES WERE SQUEAL, I BARELY MISSED A VAN WHILE HAVING TO TURN RIGHT AS THE BACK END PEELED OUT UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION OF THE ENGINE EVEN WHILE THE BRAKES WERE FULLY ENGAGED BY ME. I WAS ABLE FINALLY STOP SOME HOW. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN AGENCY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INSPECT THIS TRUCK BEFORE I EVEN ATTEMPT TO HAVE MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP INSPECT IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DEALERSHIP AND/OR TOYOTA INC. WILL COVER-UP AND/OR DECLINE TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK AND OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT; THUS ABSOLVING THEMSELVES OF ANY LIABILITY AND/OR RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS ISSUE/CONCERN THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MORE THAN 1 TOYOTA TACOMA OWNER. IN THIS INCIDENT, THERE WAS NEITHER AN ACCIDENT NOR ANY FATALITIES INVOLVED, LUCKILY, BUT IS THAT WHAT IT TAKES, FATALITIES, BEFORE TOYOTA AND/OR THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENT AGENCY TAKES THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY. THE CONTACT WAS NOT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE ACTED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO LUNGE FORWARD. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AT LEAST FOUR TIMES AND THEY STATED THAT THE MANNER IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN CAUSED THE SURGES AND INCREASED RPMS. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 100 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,515. UPDATED 4/6/09 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SURGE ON ITS OWN. EVEN WHEN HE SHIFTED GEARS THE TRUCK WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE AS WELL. UPDATED 06/09/09.*JB UPDATED 03/19/10.*JB

I HAVE A 1995 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE FRAME IS RUSTING AND THE CAB MOUNTS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF. THE OTHER MOUNTS ARE ALSO ABOUT GONE. THE MAIN FRAME IS ON ITS WAY. I'M NOTICING RUST FLAKES FALLING OFF UNDER THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER UNDER THE BUY BACK PROGRAM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MAIN FRAME IS NOT BAD ENOUGH FOR THE BUY BACK. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AWAY. 1 WEEK LATER THE CAB MOUNTS RUSTED OFF AND THE CAB FELL TO THE FRAME. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR (4 ) OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TWO ( 2 ) I WAS NOT SURE THAT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR, I AM NOW POSITIVE THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. APPROACHING A RED LIGHT I HAVE REMOVED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. AS I GET CLOSER TO THE INTERSECTION I APPLIED THE BRAKE, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED. I WAS STOPPED AND MY REAR TIRES WERE SPINNING ( THE PAVEMENT LOOKED DAMP ) I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL .THE TACHOMETER WENT TO FOUR THOUSAND (4000). I PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. I AM WAITING FOR MY DAY OFF TO RETURN THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE ASSUMING THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM? *TR 2/22/10 2009 *DT UPDATED 02/24/10. *LJ UPDATED 03/01/10 UPDATED 08/18/10

WARNING LIGHT FOR AIRBAG SYSTEM CAME ON. MANUAL SAID TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. THEY RAN A CHECK AND FOUND THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. (B1801) I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $798.44 TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS TO ME, SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, AND NOT SOMETHING THAT IS CAUSED BY WEAR AND TEAR FROM THE OWNER. I ASKED THE SERVICE TECH IF THIS IS COMMON AND HE SAID, "OH YA, THIS IS VERY COMMON". MY RESPONSE WAS THEN WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL PART. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN DOWNTOWN HILO GOING APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 MPH. THERE WAS A TRUCK AHEAD OF ME STARTING TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT. I ALSO STARTED TO BRAKE WHEN SUDDENLY THE TACOMA STARTED TO SURGE. I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKE WITH ALL MY MIGHT BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I THEN PUMPED THE BRAKES IN DESPERATION. I HIT THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME SLIGHTLY. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE A FEW MONTHS BACK BUT FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND OTHER OWNERS OF THE TOYOTA TACOMA HAVE HAD THIS SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED ON SATURDAY, TODAY IS MONDAY AND I WAS PLANNING ON TAKING IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, BUT FROM READING WHAT OTHERS WROTE TOYOTA WILL NOT FIND OR REMEDY THE PROBLEM OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I SHOULD BOTHER. THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD AND I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT. CONTEMPLATING TRADING IT IN FOR A SUBARU, BUT THE NEXT OWNER WILL BE DRIVING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. *TR
