NHTSA complaint: 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON JUNE 10, 2009 I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA, AS I STARTED TO DECREASE MY SPEED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE. I ATTEMPTED TO STOP;HOWEVER, THE ENGINE RACED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY TRUCK. AS A RESULT I CAUSED AN ACCIDENT - MYSELF AND ANOTHER TRUCK. NO ONE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER THERE WAS DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY POSSIBLE RECALLS OR SAFETY WARNINGS REGARDING A THROTTLE PROBLEM. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE THROTTLE "STUCK" - I WAS FORTUNATE THAT TIME, NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING. I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW TOYOTA IS ISSUING A RECALL ON SPECIFIC VEHICLES. *TR
