Consumer Description

MY 2004 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER SKIDDED IN STOP LIGHT WHEN THERE WAS LITTLE ICE ON STREET. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR AFTER STOPPING A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE MAKES HUMMING NOISE AND SKID MAKING IT OUT OF CONTROL. IN WINTER 2009, SIMILAR INCIDENT HAPPENED ON I-69 (20 MILES EAST OF FLINT, MI), WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE SUV AND LOST CONTROL AS THE CAR SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD CAUSING INJURY. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE IS A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE ACCELERATION SYSTEM. THIS MAY BE LIFE THREATENING AS I AM ALWAYS WORRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS SERIOUS DESIGN PROBLEM WITH 2004 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR SAFETY. *TR
