AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SLOW INTO TRAFFIC OR LIGHTS, RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND START TO PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. THIS WAS REPRODUCED MANY TIMES AFTER DRIVING OVER 2 HOURS, THEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE, SEVERAL DAYS LATER AFTER DRIVING 20 MINUTES ON HIGHWAY AND INTO TRAFFIC, PULLED UP TO AN INTERSECTION, ATTEMPTED TO CROSS AND THE TRUCK STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE TOYOTA DEALER AND TOYOTA OF USA, HAVE STATED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER TRUCK AND 4RUNNER OWNERS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE NOR RELIABLE TO DRIVE AT SLOW NOR HIGH SPEEDS DUE TO TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURES.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE STATEMENT REQUIRED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL THAT "...THE ON-OFF SWITCH SHOULD ONLY BEN USED WHEN A MEMBER OF A PASSENGER RISK GROUP IDENTIFIED IN THE REQUEST FORM IN APPENDIX B......IS OCCUPYING THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEATING POSITION..." IS MIS-STATED. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE AIR BAG SWITCH IS "OFF," THE SEAT OCCUPANT WHO IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE PASSENGER RISK GROUP WOULD BE SUBJECT TO INCREASED INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE SENT A CORRECTED OWNER'S MANUAL.
