“Turned left at a green light then truck suddenly accelerated to approximately 70 MPH coming to a school zone with lights flashing and busy road ahead I seen parked bmw. The truck was new to me and had slap shifter so when I moved it for neutral it had to be pushed over and up. I just went over and with little time and busy intersection and children. I picked the bmw thought good crash rating. Slammed the over bmw and kept going til struck a power pole breaking it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11291486, filed 2019-12, 100,000 miles“I have a 2008 Tundra and had my gas pedal fixed . My gas pedal is now extremely sensitive and I find difficult to accelerate safely. I have issues when accelerating from a stop, as I hit any sort of bump or hole I find myself revving the engine as my pedal is too sensitive and how I describe as loose. This is very annoying and find it to be an unacceptable fix!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10320573, filed 2010-03, 25,000 miles“I have 2010 Toyota Tundra that has had a sudden acceleration. I was driving down the highway with the cruise set at around 73mph. I had to hit the brake, when I hit the cruise to reinstate the cruise the truck seamed like it went full trouble. My foot was never on the gas and the truck accelerated to over 90 before I canceled the curse control. This has happened only once.”
NHTSA complaint #10317314, filed 2010-03, 1,000 miles“I have a 2010 Toyota Tundra, since the purchase note that speeds up when I come to a stop, or just when I'm with the brake pedal position, and to begin to correct single speeds, and he arranged a recall of the accelerator pedal, but even so I still have the problem a few weeks ago, almost hit with my truck, an immigration officer, when inspecting the truck, and my passport ... That scared me a lot.”
NHTSA complaint #10331845, filed 2010-05, 12,100 miles“The truck bounces real bad on some concrete roads at about 65 MPH to the point I have to slow down or change lanes to get it to stop. On the same roads I can not hold the gas pedal steady its revving the engine up on every bounce I think the recall made the peddle to sensitive on rough roads.”
