Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Sudden acceleration on my 2008 Toyota Tundra. The truck would not stop, kept getting faster and faster turned key off to stop. Took to dealer and they said they put a shim on the gas peddle and then test drove the truck and found no problem. I called Toyota corporate and they said they would only note my account and will not investigate problem. My complaint is that no one will look into the vehicle computer to see what caused the vehicle to accelerate so fast. Why it got worse when I applied the brakes? Toyota is totally not taken this serious at all.”

NHTSA complaint #10356149, filed 2010-09, 40,000 miles“I have a Toyota Tundra 2008, will leaving the bank, I was slowly approaching a stop sign. There was a car in front of me already waiting at the stop sign. I tried to step on the brake, and the floor mat came up over the brake pedal, restricting me from fully pressing down the pedal. I could not stop, I turned my truck to run into the curb and not hit the car in front of me, I hit the curb and ran up on the side walk. While moving slowly I quickly removed the mat from over the pedal, and brought my vehicle to a complete stop. No one was injured, no damage to any property. …”
NHTSA complaint #10321087, filed 2010-03, 35,000 miles“As I arrived at my home and drove up into my driveway I experienced an unexplained acceleration on my 2008 Toyota Tundra that made me react to slam on the brakes and cause the truck to slide on an unpaved (dirt) surface in my yard and slide into the trunk of a pine tree and damaging the front bumper to my truck. I heard on the news that there was a recall for the floor mats on this vehicle to be removed if it did not have clips to hold the mat in place. My truck does have the clips to hold the mat in place and prevents the acceleration pedal from getting lodged with the mat. …”
