“On 1/2/18 I was driving into a parking lot going slow getting ready to put my truck into reverse to back up into a spot when suddenly without warning an unintended acceleration took place. My truck would not stop accelerating forward with my right foot pressed all the way down on the brake my truck continued to rev up and jump forward with tires rubber burning due to me having my foot on break trying to stop the truck. I missed hitting a car barely and still not sure how I missed it. …”

The mirror was violently shut into it's folded-in position causing the mirror to shatter and project large and small pieces of very sharp glass across the dashboard and forward area of the cabin. Damage that was done in the glass' path were cuts on my left hand, slice marks on the steering wheel cover, and puncture marks on the dashboard, passenger-side a-pillar, and passenger-side door panel. …”
NHTSA complaint #10404590, filed 2011-05, 19,276 miles“Sudden rattling noise upon starting the truck and cruising in low speed on 9/19/2015. Have it checked by Toyota dealer on 9/22/2015. Diagnosed with total rusting/rotting of exhaust system. Need to change the whole system for 2000 dollars. Asked why it will rust and rot in 5 years. No good answer, just said very rare but can happen .”
NHTSA complaint #10775313, filed 2015-09, 72,000 miles“Steering is very loose on off road driving / or washboard type road- there is currently a Toyota TSB (technical service bulletin) #0119-10 out right now with a solution to the problem. Solution= replace intermediate shaft. After reading all the posts online, this needs to be a safety recall. My truck only has 85,000 miles on it with loose steering. And has been like this for some time!”
NHTSA complaint #10871708, filed 2016-05, 5 miles“The traction control on my 2010 Toyota Tacoma does not work. It does not reduce the throttle as it is supposed to. When on a patch of ice or slick road the tires and throttle just continue to engage. The stability control finally engages but still does not reduce the throttle response.”
