NHTSA Complaint #10556274 — 2000 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK TO A BODY SHOP TO FIX THE FRAME AND BODY OF THE TRUCK, AS DIRECTED FROM TOYOTA. WHICH I WAS TOLD FROM TOYOTA IN PORTSMOUTH NH, TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP TO GET IT FIXED. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THEY CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL, I HAD TO PASS SEVERAL VEHICLES, THE CAR WAS SHAKING AS I HAD THE BREAKS ON THE WHOLE TIME. IT WAS UPWARDS OF 80 MILES AN HOUR WITH OUT ANY CONTROL. MY SISTER WAS FOLLOWING ME, I ALSO HAVE PROOF FROM THE BODY SHOP, AS I BARELY MADE IT THERE, I HAD TO PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO STOP THE CAR. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME, PROBABLY DRIVER ERROR, NOT THE CASE. WHEN I LEFT THE TRUCK WITH THE BODY SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THE FRAME AND BODY OF THE TRUCK WERE NOT REPAIRABLE. I PAID TOYOTA FOR TIRE ROTATION, OIL CHANGE, AND FILTERS, TO HEAR THAT I HAVE TO SCRAP THE CAR. I STILL FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING DUE TO THE TRUCK ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL, AND GOT NO SUPPORT FROM TOYOTA. *TR
