“My stepson was pulling into the driveway, he stopped, then the Toyota Tacoma lunged forward crashing into our garage. I had noticed since leasing the truck in july of 2015, that once in a while I would come to a stop and it felt like I just got rear ended but nobody was behind me.”
NHTSA complaint #10846031, filed 2016-03, 9,400 miles“Sudden acceleration on feb 25, 2020. I was pulling into a parking spot, low speed (under 10 MPH), right hand turn, vehicle suddenly accelerated. I pressed hard on the brake, locking the brakes up and squealing tires. The truck lurched to a stop. No damage, no other cars near where I was parking. This was a normal routine stop at a local gas station that make some mornings before work to purchase a fountain drink. Unknown cause - ecu/software, gas pedal sensors, electrical noise ? Year, make, model: 2015 Toyota Tacoma truck - purchased new dec 2014. …”
NHTSA complaint #11312230, filed 2020-02, 76,093 miles“On three different occasions I was stationary with the gear shift in drive and my foot firmly on the break,when the RPM's suddenly revel up to over 5000 RPM and the truck trying to lurch forward. I had to ram the gear shift into neutral to get the RPM's to drop down. The last time it happened at the bank parking lot. I came to a complete stop to let a woman cross in front of me to her car. All of the sudden the engine revs way up with me trying to hold the truck back as it was lurching forward. She thought I was trying to run over her. I don't know who was more scared, her or me. …”
NHTSA complaint #11343429, filed 2020-08, 63,000 miles“My 2015 Tacoma has an indication that cruise control (cc) is turned on, but not if cc is engaged or disengaged. I was driving in the right lane on a multiple lane freeway with cc on and engaged. When I approached slower moving traffic in the lane I was traveling, I moved to the left lane to pass. I used the accelerator in order to speed up and minimize my impact on the faster moving traffic in the lane. I did this without disengaging cc. Feeling social pressure to move right as traffic was backing up even at my accelerated speed, I released the accelerator and moved right. …”
