NHTSA complaint #11278802, filed 2019-11, 130,000 miles“I was driving my 2007 Toyota Tacoma down a hill and without my foot on the accelerator the vehicle accelerated without notice...I lost control of the vehicle and ran into a concrete barrier. There is substantial damage to my vehicle and I was also injured. It happened about a month ago for the first time and I didn't think much of it or it was nothing serious.”
NHTSA complaint #10212656, filed 2007-12, 5,200 miles“I had come to a complete stop at a red light. With my foot on the brake, my 2007 Toyota Tacoma started to accelerate. I freaked out, thinking that I may have accidentally pushed down on the accelerator pedal. I moved my foot over to the left a little, with no change. I then looked down to make sure that my foot was not on the accelerator pedal. Luckily, the light changed not long after this incident. It has never occurred again.”
