Consumer Description

2005 TOYOTA TACOMA PICK UP TRUCK WHEN OPERATING IN THE CRUISE CONTROL MODE, AND WHEN COMING UP ON A STRETCH OF ROAD WHICH IS UPHILL, THE ACCELERATOR WILL KICK IN A FULL OPEN AND UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION MODE CAUSING THE NEED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL TO PREVENT FROM RUNNING IN TO SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN AND ROUTINELY WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HITTING AN UPHILL STRETCH OF ROAD. I HAVE REQUESTED SERVICE FROM THE TOYOTA DEALER IN KNOXVILLE, TN SEVERAL YEARS AGO ( APPROX. 2006-2007 TIME FRAME. HOWEVER, THEY DISMISSED THE CLAIM AS THE "PASSING GEAR" OF THE TRANSMISSION KICKING IN WITHOUT EVEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND TESTING IT. HOWEVER, THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE EVENT WHEN IT HAPPENS IS THAT THERE IS IMMEDIATE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO THE ACCELERATOR BEING FULLY DEPRESSED WHICH REQUIRES INTERVENTION TO INTERRUPT. THE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2005 AND CONTINUE UNDER USE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL IN THIS MODEL. *TR
