The contact owns a 2012 Tacoma. The contact stated that he added oil to the vehicle as directed by the owner's manual but the engine overflowed. The contact stated that the engine was overfilled by 19.2 oz. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the information listed in the owner's manual was correct. Updated 6/17/14

problem #1

Feb 192014

Tacoma

  • 18,600 miles
After driving for 2 hours at highway speed (65) mph I exited the highway to a intersection with a red light. Upon applying the brakes to come to a stop the vehicle accelerated forward on its own. I was only able to stop a collision by putting the truck into neutral. I could not stop the vehicle by only using the brakes. The engine over revolutions but came back to a idle in just a few seconds. I have not experienced this in the past two years that I have owned this vehicle. I was not towing anything and the vehicle was not loaded with any additional weight. I am the only driver. I continued on with my trip and have not experienced this again as of this date. 02/20/2014
