Consumer Description

SITTING STOPPED TO PULL ONTO A VERY BUSY ROAD. CAR ENGINE WENT CRAZY, HAD FOOT ON BRAKE ALREADY. CAR ENGINE RPM OFF THE CHART. OUR CAR WAS SHAKING AND BOUNCING. NO THERE WAS NO FLOOR MAT STUCK NO FOOT ON GAS. IT WAS SCARY! MY HUSBAND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL KEEPING HIS FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE. NO CHANGE, HE SHIFTED TO PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. IN A FEW MINUTES WE STARTED THE CAR SEEMED FINE DROVE STRAIGHT TO TOYOTA RENTED A CAR AND SAID FIX IT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I THANK GOD WE WERE PARKED. JUST FYI OUR AUTO HAS ABOUT 67000 MILES AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. WE HAVE ALL MAINTENANCE DONE AT DEALER AND LAST YEAR DID EXTRA REPAIRS COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS OF RECOMMENDED WORK, STRUTS ANYTHING THEY SAID NEEDED. THEN WE THOUGHT THE LEATHER LOOKED A LITTLE WORN SO WE HAD IT REPLACED. CONSUME R REPORTS SAYS 4RUNNER IS ONE THAT YOU COULD GET 200,000 MILLES. WE WERE HOPING FOR MAYBE ONE HUNDRED. DON'T CARE HOW OLD OUR WELL MAINTAINED AUTO IS THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN!
