NHTSA Complaint #10886271 — 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA

MY TOYOTA TACOMA WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE FROM A DEAD STOP. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE SPED UP; I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES, BACK WHEELS SPINNING. I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. ANOTHER TIME I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND IT DID IT AGAIN, IN REVERSE! AGAIN, NEUTRAL STOPPED IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE! NO, I DID NOT HAVE A FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKE! THIS HAPPENS AFTER I'VE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THEN TURNED IT OFF. AND AGAIN, IT HAPPENS FROM A DEAD STOP. I HAVE A COMPLAINT NUMBER FROM TOYOTA. THE DEALER DID DIAGNOSTICS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SO TOYOTA WILL DO NOTHING. I AM CONTACTING YOU TO MAKE PUBLIC WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH MY TACOMA IN CASE OF A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY SELL. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY TRUCK; THIS IS NOT DUE TO MY NEGLIGENCE. IT IS DUE TO TOYOTA'S. I NEED MY TRUCK FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED BY IT.
