“I had the accelerator stick two times recently. My tires spun very fast and I almost took off into a very busy highway. I would have been killed if I didn't quickly put the truck in neutral until the engine revved down. This is a helpless feeling and something is not right with the manufacturing of the truck.”

“The check engine light came on in my vehicle during a five mile trip to work and is still on. The diagnostic code revealed a fault in an air valve. After some research I discovered that Toyota issued an extended warranty on this part because of a known issue affecting the same year/make/model as my Tundra. I called the dealership to ask about the repair process as I was within the 10 year/150k mile extended warranty period. They stated the part was replaced in 2014. I was then directed to call Toyota customer service. …”
