I HAVE MADE A REPORT ON THIS BEFORE BUT IT OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY 4/8/2010. I HAVE A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2010 WHICH ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WHEN I START IT, UP TO 4500-5000 RPM'S . IT WILL REV UP 3-4 TIMES AND THEN BOG DOWN AND DIE, I THEN START IT UP AGAIN AND IT IS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. IT HAS NEVER OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING ALWAYS IN PARK WHEN I FIRST START IT UP. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES EACH TIME FOR A WEEK AND THEY SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THERE IS NO WAY FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF THERE IS ONE. AM I A LIAR LIKE EVERYONE WHO OWNS A TOYOTA? *TR

IN MARCH 2010, I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA TUNDRA 2010 CREWMAX 5.7L TRUCK FULLY LOADED WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM, REMOTE START, AND GUIDEPOINT (LOJACK LIKE) SYSTEM FROM EXPRESSWAY TOYOTA IN DORCHESTER, MA. THE TRUCK WAS SUPPOSEDLY MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY 2010 AND HAD THE REVISED GAS PEDAL. ON MARCH 23, THE INCIDENT BELOW OCCURRED. WAS DRIVING TO WORK FROM READING, MA TO CHARLESTOWN, MA (ABOUT 13 MILES) ON TUESDAY, MARCH 23. IT WAS A RAINY DAY AND TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. I HAD THE DEFROSTER AND WIPERS ON AND WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY MAIN STREET ABOUT 10 MILES INTO THE TRIP. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY SO I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO ALSO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY. THAT OTHER CAR WAS ABOUT 10 FEET IN FRONT OF ME. I BARELY TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THE TRUCK TOOK OFF AT FULL ACCELERATION. I GOT ON THE BRAKE AS HEAVY AS I COULD AND THE TRUCK FISH TAILED SIDE TO SIDE. I QUICKLY PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL REVVING AT FULL ACCELERATION. WHILE IT WAS IN PARK AND ENGINE STILL GOING FULL SPEED I TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY FOOT AND IT RELEASED. I WAS VERY LUCKY I DIDN'T CRASH INTO ANYTHING. I DID SMELL A BURNING ODOR ONCE I GOT THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WAS THE TIRES, BRAKE PADS OR SOMETHING ELSE. *TR

6-8 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT MY TRUCK I STARTED HAVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK A 2010 TUNDRA. IT HAS NEVER ACCELERATED WHILE MOVING IT HAS DONE IT IN PARK EVERY TIME WHEN I GET IN AND START THE TRUCK. IT ACCELERATES TO 4-5000 RPM'S AND BOGS DOWN IT DOES 3-4 TIMES THEN IT BOGS DOWN AND DIES. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN 3 TIMES AND THEY ( TOYOTA OF LEWISVILLE) HAVE KEPT IT TWICE AND COULD NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY CLAIM THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, AND THAT THERE WAS NO TROUBLE CODES TO FOLLOW UP ON. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 8 OR 9 TIMES AND I AM REALLY WORRIED THAT IT WILL SOMEDAY HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING. I DON'T EVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IT JUST HAPPENS WHEN I GET IN AND START THE TRUCK WHETHER IT IS HOT OR COLD. THE DEALERSHIP HAS KEPT MY TRUCK TWICE FOR A WEEK EACH TIME AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS MATTER, I HAVE A TRUCK THAT MY WIFE WILL NOT RIDE IN AND THAT IT IS WORTH NOTHING IN A TRADE IN. I DRIVE IT WITH FEAR OF IT TAKING OFF ON ME SOMEDAY. *TR

I AM NOT LOSING MY HOME AND EVERYTHING I HAVE WORKED HARD FOR ALL MY LIFE BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS A PROBLEM THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT. I MYSELF DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS EVER A FLOOR MAT PROBLEM, THAT WAS A DELAY TACTIC. BUT I AM REPORTING TO YOU AS I WAS INSTRUCTED TO DO BY CHANNEL 5 NOT TOYOTA OR THE DEALERSHIP BUT BY THE NEWSCASTER THAT BROADCAST MY STORY. THE ACCELERATION IS HAPPENING AT LEAST 5-9 TIMES A WEEK AT VARIOUS TIMES. IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE DO. THANK YOU. *TR

DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE FRICTION LEVER INTERACTS WITH THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSIDE THE PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY, THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE LEVER MAY BECOME SMOOTH DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IN THIS CONDITION, IF CONDENSATION OCCURS ON THE SURFACE, AS MAY OCCUR FROM HEATER OPERATION (WITHOUT A/C) WHEN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COLD, THE FRICTION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS OPERATED MAY INCREASE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING HARDER TO DEPRESS, SLOWER TO RETURN, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
