VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 7:00AM ON 2/6/12 ON THE 215 S. GOING AROUND 75MPH. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FLOORED ALL THE WAY DOWN AS IF SOMEONE HAD THEIR FOOT ON IT. I PANICKED AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO BUT PRESS THE BRAKES. AS I PRESSED THE BRAKES THE CAR JERKED ME AROUND. I NOTICED CARS IN FRONT OF ME STARTING TO SLOW DOWN AS I WAS ENTERING TRAFFIC. BY THAT TIME MY CAR WAS GOING 100MPH ON ITS OWN BECAUSE I HAD REMOVED MY FEET FROM THE PETALS. I LAST MINUTE REACTED AND PUT MY FOOT UNDER THE PETAL AND PROPPED IT UP MYSELF AND IT IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN SAN BERNARDINO THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I HAD TO PICK IT UP. I WAS VERY UPSET THAT THEY WERE NOT TAKING ME SERIOUSLY ONLY BECAUSE I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE AND RETURNED THE CAR TO THEM AFTER HAVING TO PAY THEM SOME MONEY. I ASKED WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD RESELL IT. WHEN I SHOWED CONCERN FOR THE NEXT OWNERS SAFETY THEY TOLD ME "IT IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM ANYMORE" I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SINCE THE DAY I TURNED 18 AND HAVE ONLY BOUGHT TOYOTAS. I STILL CAN NOT BELEIVE THAT THEY WILL RESELL IT THE WAY IT IS AFTER THEY KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO IT NOT ONCE BUT 2 TIMES BEFORE, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO THAT CAR AGAIN. I AM PREGNANT AND AM VERY THANKFUL THAT I REACTED ON TIME AND WAS ABLE TO PROP THE PETAL BACK INTO PLACE IF I HADNT I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT ME AND MY BABY COULD HAVE GOT REALLY HURT NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. PLEASE CONTACT TOYOTA AND HAVE THEM DO FURTHER TESTS ON THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT RESULTS FATAL ONCE AGAIN IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO TOYOTA. ( ALSO, I HAD NO FLOOR MATS IN MY CAR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT). *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
MY 2005 SCION TC SURGES/LURCHES FORWARD WHEN RESUMING FROM A STOP. THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE YOU APPLY TO THE GAS PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT ON HOW THE CAR IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. THE PROBLEM WAS VERY INTERMITTENT AND HARD TO NOTICE BUT STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN AS OF AUG./SEPT. 2008. IN MID SEPT. I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SELLING DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MGR. WENT ON A TEST DRIVE AND SAID HE NOTICED THE PROBLEM AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN A FEW MILE DRIVE. WHEN I PICKED MY CAR UP 2 DAYS LATER THE SERVICE INVOICE STATED "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED I HAVE A 30,000 MILE MAINT. DONE I HAD JUST HAD THOSE SERVICES DONE 1 MONTH EARLIER AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THAT. IT WAS THEN RECOMMENDED THAT I SWITCH GAS STATIONS AND USE HIGH OCTANE FUEL AND USE A FUEL INJECTION CLEANER PURCHASED FROM ANY GAS STATION, THEN IF NO IMPROVEMENT FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS WOULD BE NEEDED BUT NO CODES IN THE ECU. I FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OVER 2 MONTHS AND NO CHANGE. WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND EVEN WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THE REGIONAL SERVICE MGR SENT TO "INSPECT" MY CAR DID NOT INSPECT IT AND REFUSED TO AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR AND SUBMIT THE CLAIM UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ALSO AT THIS TIME REMINDED THEM THAT THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. AND WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK AND THE CAR IS IDLING THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS A SPEED OF 5-10 MILES PER HOUR, YET WHILE DRIVING SHOWS A SPEED OF 0. I ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE PILLAR AIRBAG COVER THEY FIXED WEEKS AGO IS HANGING LOOSE. IT COMES OFF EVERY TIME YOU SHUT THE DOOR. THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE. THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. MY CAR HAS OR IS HAVING ABOUT 95% OF THE ITEMS DISPLAYED IN YOUR SERVICE BULLETINS, SEATBELTS,AIRBAGS,FUEL INJECTORS,WINDOW CONTROLS,SUN ROOF,AIR CONDITION AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM. AND THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF ALL OF THEM. *TR
