problem #2

Tacoma 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 25,000 miles

May 30, I was pulling into a parking space at kiewit middle school with my Tacoma. While I was approximately 5-10 feet from the car in front the engine begin racing. My foot was not on the accelerator, it was firmly on the brake. The engine continued revving and the brakes final gave and I hit the car ahead. As it is I damaged the front of my Tacoma, as well as the rear of car ahead of me. I am sure if there were not a vehicle ahead at such a close distance great damage and injury would have been incurred. I do not feel that currently the vehicle is safe to drive, I contacted Toyota, national -- they told me that it was ok and to take it home. I felt so strongly that the vehicle was not safe that I immediately traded it in for a Nissan -- if you need more information of would like to speak with others that saw what happened please let me know. I have also kept all receipts and documentation from Toyota. Btw -- according to Toyota -- you guys don't exist. -- I stumbled upon your information in the back of my new Nissan's owner manual.

Tacoma 4WD 4-cyl

While passing several radar signs, I noticed my trucks speedometer was reading about 8% above the actual speed I was traveling. A check at a "speedometer check" where they have mileage signs every mile for several miles also confirmed this. A trip with my gps also showed the speedometer was inaccurate. The dealership checked my truck on their smog dyno and said my speedometer was only 1 mph off at 40 mph. They inferred that satellites, police radar and my wrist watch are less accurate than their smog test dyno, not likely. I'm getting ripped off for 8% of my warranty!
