VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WE PURCHASED A 2005 TACOMA PICK-UP IN 2005. MY HUSBAND HAS HAD TWO EXPERIENCES WITH THE PICK-UP ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, AT FULL THROTTLE, WITHOUT HIS FOOT ON THE THROTTLE AT ALL. ONLY AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF DID IT STOP. THIS TOOK PLACE IN 2006 & 2007. HE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT WE PURCHASED IT FROM AND WERE TOLD THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENING. WE GAVE THE TRUCK TO OUR SON IN AUGUST OF 2008. IN JUNE OF 2009, THE TRUCK ACCELERATED TO FULL THROTTLE, WHILE IN REVERSE, GOING MAYBE 5MPH . HE HAD HIS FEET ON THE BRAKE AND THE TIRES WERE SMOKING. LUCKILY, HE WAS ABLE TO STOP IT. WE NOW HAVE A 2008 TACOMA PICKUP AND A 2009 COROLLA CAR IN OUR POSSESSION. WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON. WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING AT THE TACOMA PICK-UP FOR MORE THAN THE FLOOR MAT RECALL. WE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO OUR FAMILY AND WE WANT THE PROBLEM SOLVED. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO TOYOTA ON THEIR WEB SITE TELLING THEM OF OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE TACOMA PICKUP. THANK YOU. *TR

SUSPENSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA SR 5 EXTENDED CAB. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 3-4 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A ROAD BUMP AND THE LOWER BALL JOINT PROCEEDED TO DETACHED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE VEHICLE THEN UNEXPECTEDLY DRIFTED FORWARD THREE FEET. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT DETACHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY CONFIRMED THE VIN FAILED TO QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:05V225000 (SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 129,660.
