NHTSA complaint: 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I STARTED EXPERIENCING SUDDEN UN-COMMANDED ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEED. THERE HAVE BEEN 4 INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITH NO WARNING WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES (LIKE SLOWING FOR A STOPLIGHT OR A SLOWER CAR AHEAD).THE LAST ONE HAPPENED ON AUGUST 24, 2009. THIS TIME IT RESULTED IN A LOW SPEED COLLISION AND DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE MY ERROR, BUT ON REFLECTION, I BELIEVE THERE IS MORE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T THINK IT IS A PROBLEM WITH FLOOR MATS. I AM FOLLOWING THE RECALL SITUATION AND AM WAITING TO BE CONTACTED BY MY DEALER FOR RECTIFICATION OF THIS PROBLEM. I LIKE MY TACOMA BUT I AM NERVOUS DRIVING IT AND TRY TO AVOID IT WHEN I CAN. *TR
