“I own a 2006 Toyota Tundra truck. I have had two incidents where the accelerator has stuck. Braking did not slow down the acceleration. I was almost involved in an accident and almost went through my garage door. I took the truck to dealer who said there was no problem. The truck is not currently on recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10318023, filed 2010-03, 50,000 miles“I purchased an 06 Tundra in april of 09. I have noticed from time to time when at a stop light the engine will surge and if you are not on the brake hard the truck will jolt forward quickly. Is this part of the same issue with the accelerator problem that Toyota is recalling so many vehicles?”
NHTSA complaint #10301867, filed 2010-01, 44,000 miles“My 2006 Toyota Tundra pickup truck has developed maximum acceleration on seven (7) occasions when I made hard accelerations in order to pass other vehicles while also engaging the resume mode of the cruise control. On the first two (2) occasions I applied the brakes heavily with no results and my vehicle continued to accelerate and I was forced to knock the truck out of gear and the engine continued to run a max rpms and I keep pumping the gas pedal until the engine finally slowed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10369265, filed 2010-12, 23,550 miles“My husband had a crash on 06/26/2009 on his Toyota Tundra 2006 in concord, california (highway 242). He said he was on the freeway and the traffic stopped suddenly. He pushed the brake pedal, but the truck kept running at the speed that it was without stopping. He crashed 3 cars, and the Toyota Tundra 2006 was a total lost. Thank god nobody was hurt in that accident. But it took us so long for the insurance company to reimbursed us the cost of the truck. Also, I think it wasn't fair, because the truck was in such good condition, he was taking care of that truck like it was his baby.”
NHTSA complaint #10305696, filed 2010-02, 54,000 miles“The day I drove my 2006 Tundra off of the lot I noticed that when I am at a complete stop (red light or stop sign for example) with my foot completely pressing on the brake, the RPM's rise out of no where. In other words, the truck lunges forward when at a complete stop. I have reported to three dealerships, those that I take my truck in for service to, and the dealer I purchased the truck from. I first complained about this during the first week after I purchased it. I have requested that the service clerks include this in the notes, and complains sections when I take in the truck. …”
