The car speed variable when I try speed up became slow or sometimes it speed up one time it stops in the middle of rail crossing and completely stop then I moved out and the car pushed up other side and the car accelerated not working properly nod the fuel system also I have big doubt about this car!
AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND DRIVING UP A HILL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) CAME ON AND THE ENGINE RAN ROUGH. I NURSED THE CAR UP THE HILL AND DROVE HOME. I FOUND THE GAS CAP WAS NOT TIGHT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN CLICKED ONE TIME WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED JUST A FEW MINUTES EARLIER. A SEARCH FOR THIS ON THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I TIGHTENED IT TO ONE CLICK, OF COURSE. A FEW DAYS LATER I BOUGHT A TOYOTA GAS CAP AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THIS SEQUENCE REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES; CEL TURNED ON, ENGINE RUNS ROUGH, LOSE OF ENGINE POWER. IN ONE INSTANCE I WAS PASSING A CAR ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE HESITATED AND THE CEL TURNED ON. IN ANOTHER INSTANCE I WAS TURNING LEFT TO GO SLOWLY UP A STEEP HILL WHEN IT HAPPENED...
WHILE TRAVELING NW ON HWY 99 THROUGH MERCED CA AT 08:30 AM NOV. 9, 2014, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF MY CAR WHILE IN CRUISE MODE GOING UP THE RAMP JUST AT THE NW EDGE OF MERCED. IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TILL THE RPM GAUGE WAS INTO THE RED. AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS VERY TENSE, MANEUVERING IN TRAFFIC WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES IN AN EFFORT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP, WHICH HEATED UP UNTIL THEY WERE BARELY WORKING. I SHUT THE MOTOR OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND TURNED IT BACK ON A FEW TIMES AND EACH TIME THE ENGINE WENT RIGHT INTO HIGH REV MODE AGAIN. I FINALLY PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO N AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ABOUT A MILE OR SO FROM WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTED, REGAINED MY COMPOSURE AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO SIT A FEW...
I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AND SLOWED DOWN WITH THE INTENTION OF STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION. MY BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AT THE NORMAL LEVEL OF PRESSURE THAT I USE, AND I HAD TO PRESS IT ALL THE WAY DOWN. WHEN THE BRAKE WAS SLAMMED ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BRAKES DID ENGAGE, BUT THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING UP AND THE RPM METER WAS TO ITS MAXIMUM. I DID NOT TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES BECAUSE I KNEW IF I DID, THE CAR WOULD HAVE TRAVELLED AT 120MPH. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE HANDBRAKE LEVER UP, CHANGED THE GEAR TO PARK, AND SWITCHED OFF THE IGNITION. I AM JUST HAPPY TO BE ALIVE TODAY, AND AM VERY THANKFUL FOR MY PRESENCE OF MIND. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND TOWED THE CAR TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. WE DID TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP A WEEK BACK...
GAS INTAKE PIPE CRACKED SO WARNING LIGHT SHOWS ON DASH. TOYOTA WON'T FIX AS PAST THE THREE YEARS FROM DATE WE BOUGHT IT, WONDER IF A FIRE COULD HAPPEN? *TR
