SERVICE BRAKES
NHSTA SAFETY COMPLAINT TEXT Safety defect and Incident Chronology: I am reporting a catastrophic, recurring sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) defect originating strictly from a forward idle state, culminating in a severe bidirectional runaway and property damage crash. This vehicle utilizes an Electronic Throttle System-intelligent (ETCS) that failed to trigger a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) , Check Engine Light or fail safe limp mode during all three events. INCIDENT 1 (MAY 15, 2026): While maneuvering at low-speed idle into my residential garage, the engine un commandingly surged . I was tapping the brake to go cautiously. Simultaneously, the brake pedal became rigid and physically impossible to depress. The vehicle crashed forward into my tool benches and drywall. INCIDENT 2 ( on or about May 22,2026): Under the identical conditions, the vehicle without command surged forward with total brake rigidity. Fortunately, this time it caused no damage. INCIDENT 3 (June 10, 2026) During a slow speed idle parking maneuver , the vehicle violently surged forward with total brake rigidity and struck shelving. To cut propulsion I immediately shifted out of Drive. Instead of neutralizing the event the car the car underwent a severe bidirectional runaway, violently accelerating in REVERSE for approximately 35 feet across my driveway crashing into my woodpile . I ended up moving forward and stopped somehow. TECHNICAL EVALUATION for INVESTIGATORS: The recurring rock hard brake pedal serves as empirical pneumatic proof that the throttle body valve uncommandedly opened wide while my foot was actively modulating the brakes, instantly destroying the engine manifold vacuum reserve. Furthermore, the vehicle accelerating forward and backwards proves system failure. The vehicle was transported via flatbed to PAPPAS Toyota. Toyota Case # TA 261680161. I request NHSTA safety Egrs secure and audit this transient ETCS-I failure mode.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Twice: once in August and most importantly 09/07/2024 was slowing down to stop at a dry cleaners when the car reved up and accelerated forward. I continued to apply brakes all the way to the floor and couldn’t get it to stop, so ran into the businesses’s van. USAA paidfor repairs to both, but due to fears for my safety and life and those of others, I have not driven it since. I have had it towed for repairs and to be checked by an engineer sent by Toyota.and have had to rent or borrow or pay for rides up until now. The USAA sebt engineer came to check the car but decide the car was fine and Toyota would not offer help with replacement

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I was recently informed about a previous recall on a dashboard issue I've been dealing with for years. I have a sticky cracking dashboard that imitates a smell in warm to hot temperatures. I have own this vehicle since 2014 and lived at the same address since 2006. Never have I been made aware of the recalls on this issue. I have vested a lot of money to keep this great car on great condition. And it would be good to receive consideration to have the problem dashboard replaced. The sticky dashboard also produces a glare on the windshield causing a blinding most of the time This makes driving challenging unless it's covered. I would really appreciate consideration on extending this recall for the safety of all those on the road ways. Please and Thank you!

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
In the last several years the dashboard is sticky and cracking. I am not only concerned about the glare and white residue but also the potential effect on the airbags. I have visited a dealership and sent written communication to Toyota in Plano TX. I also called Toyota asking for help with this issue and have been informed the cost would be entirely my responsibility. Toyota created a case number which is [XXX]. The car is garage kept with approximately 112,000 miles and in very good condition. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
Dash is cracked all over, including where airbag is on front right passenger side, causing airbag light to stay lit. This is a safety hazard and should be repaired or replaced by Toyota. I was already informed by Toyota when I had called that there had been a recall on this matter for cosmetic reasons several years ago and now it was “too late” for them to be responsible, but I did not know of that condition/recall. This is not only a cosmetic issue, this is a safety concern and needs to be addressed immediately. I was informed by an employee at the number I was given that safety issues do not fall under the statue of limitations for recalls. I’ve been trying to get a response from the National Highway Safety Division but I haven’t received an actual determination as to whether Toyota had to replace the dash or not. Please help with this urgent safety concern. I can be reached at [XXX]. Thank you INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
