NHTSA Complaint #10851027 — 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE REPORTED THIS VEHICLE GOING FULL THROTTLE ON ITS OWN WITHIN A ONE YEAR PERIOD. YESTERDAY, I WAS AT TEXACO GAS STATION AT BOLD SPRINGS RD AND HWY 81 IN BOLD SPRINGS, GA. FILLED UP GAS TANK, STARTED ENGINE, HAD FOOT ON BRAKE, PUT IN DRIVE, AND THROTTLE WENT WIDE OPEN, SPINNING REAR TIRE. I SHUT IGNITION KEY OFF AND RE-STARTED. PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF. I HAVE AN ELECTRO-MECHANICAL TECHNICAL DEGREE, AND AM CURRENTLY A PARTS SPECIALIST FOR GWINNETT COUNTY SCHOOL BUS SHOP. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS IN THE ECM AS IT CONTROLS THE THROTTLE. I INTEND ON WRITING MY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR, COPYING TOYOTA DEALER IN STONE MOUNTAIN, GA AND THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE IN CALIFORNIA. THE LAST E-MAIL I RECEIVED FROM YOU ON INCIDENT # 10817501, STATED; "EVERY COMPLAINT IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY, REVIEWED IN DETAIL AND ANALYZED FOR DEFECTS TRENDS. YOUR COMPLAINT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT HELPS TO INFORM NHTSA, OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS AND MANUFACTURERS ABOUT POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERNS. SUCH INFORMATION HELPS SAVE LIVES, AND WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SHARE THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE AT WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV WITH YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND OTHERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY." I HAVE YET TO SEE ANYTHING HAPPEN TO SAVE LIVES. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL ON RECALL FROM 09/2014 FOR LEAF SPRINGS BREAKING AND PUNCTURING FUEL TANK. PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FROM DEALER. I KNOW TOYOTA HAS GONE BEFORE CONGRESS MORE THAN ONCE ON 2002 - 2011 VEHICLES RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL, AND PAID $4.3 BILLION IN FINES. HOW DO I GET SOME OF THAT MONEY TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE?
