additional type: https://schema.org/AccidentReport
start date: 2009-02-21
description: 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
