ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE DEFECT REPAIRED IN MY TRUCK TO NO AVAIL. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF SERVICE AT RIVERHEAD TOYOTA FOR MANY MONTHS AND IS NOW AT SMITHTOWN TOYOTA. THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM AND NOW CURRENT PROPLEM IS NOW POWER TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION FOR EG. AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THIS PUTS BOTH MY FAMILY AND OTHERS DRIVING AROUND ME AT RISK. WHAT MAKES THE SITUATION EVEN MORE DANGEROUS IS THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MAY HAPPEN. THE PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE, BUT THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE OXYGEN SENSORS. I SAID, " I THOGHT THAT WAS A RECALL THAT WAS ALREADY REPLACED A WHILE AGO. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED AND NEVER GAVE ME AN ANSWER WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE ALREADY REPLACED BEFORE. I HAVE ASKED FOR ALL REPAIR RECORDS FOR MY CAR AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE ANY IN MY FILE. I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP. THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME THAT MY CAR NEEDS A WIRING HARNESS. COULD THIS ALL BE RELATED TO THE FAULTY OXYGEN SENSORS?? I READ THAT THEY CAUSED THERMAL STRESS TO THE WIRING??? I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND I AM 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AND REALLY NEED A SAFE CAR. PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU!!

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY OVERRIDEN AND IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFERENCE IF THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK OR REVERSE, THE CAR STILL WAS BUCKING FORWARD. IT STOPPED WHEN THE IGNITION WAS KILLED. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED AND THE MOST SEVERE CASE. THE FIRST TIME IT ONLY STARTED TO REV BUT DID COME TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT. THE INCIDENTS WERE APPROXIMATELY 2-3 WEEKS APART.

WHEELS
MY FATHER WAS DRIVING A 1998 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER WHICH HE HAD HAD FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS, AND HAD ALREDY TAKEN ON COUPLE OF LONG TRIPS. IN THE POLICE REPORT OF THE ACCIDENT IT SITED THAT THE CAUSE OFTHE ACCIDENT WAS THAT THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL OF THE CAR BROKE OFF DUE TO A FAULT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE CAR. I HAVE WRITTEN AND FAXED AND CALLED TOYOTA A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT THEY DO NOT RESPOND. I HAVE READ OF TWO OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS WITH THE SAME CAR, ONE IN ITALY AND ONE IN INDIA - REPORTED BECAUSE SOME PROMENENT PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED IN THE CRASHES, AN AMBASSADOR AND A SINGER. WHEN I HEARD ON CNN ABOUT TOYOTA RECALLING A NUMBER OF ITS MODELS, THE PROBLEM THEY SITED SOUNDED A LOT LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FATHER'S CAR. THE PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER MODELS THEY SAID WAS THAT THE HEAT OF THE FRICTION FROM LONG OR BUMPY RIDING CAUSES THE FRONT WHEEL CONNECTIONS TO BECOME LOOSE AND MAYBE FALL OUT. CAN YOU HELP ME? OR DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR THINGS I MIGHT DO TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE WHEEL OF MY FATHERS CAR BROKE OFF ON A FLAT STRAIGHT ROAD WITHOUT ANY OTHER CARS INVOLVED. I ALSO HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES OF THE CAR AND THE PART THAT BROKE OFF, AS WELL AS THE CAR ITSELF, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO SEND THEM. THANK YOU.

THE GAS LINE IN THE REAR LEFT SIDE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CORRODED THROUGH THE PIPE AND LEAKED 2 1/2 GALLONS OF GASOLING INTO THE WHEEL WELL WHERE IT REMAIND, SLOSHING AROUND UNKNOWN TO US. WE COULD SMELL THE GAS BUT COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAR. DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOKED FOR A LEAK BUT IT WAS NOT FOUND UNTIL THE INTERIOR PANEL WAS REMOVED THE WHEEL WELL. ONE SPARK AND WE COULD HAVEN BLOW UP. THERE COULD BE OTHER FAMILIES DRIVING AROUND AND SMOKING IN THE CAR A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION I THINK.
