Just leaving a mall and heading towards a busy intersection when engine on truck accelerated as fast as it could go. Braked the vehicle to a stop using both legs on brake pedal, put car in park, tapped gas pedal, and engine returned to normal. *tr

In late may 2009 while on highway 50 in sacramento just east of the 50/80 interchange in good weather (dry and clear) my 2006 toyota tacoma's gas pedal buried itself to the floor and the vehicle went to maximum acceleration. Braking only had a slight initial effect and then overheated and faded. After a lucky 4 miles i shifted to neutral and the problem resolved. This began around 60mph and maxed around 107. During…

I have a 2006 toyota tacoma. I have concerns about the throttle mechanism. About a year ago at a stop sign, i experienced the motor racing and vehicle attempting to lurch forward. I had to press very hard on the brake pedal to remain in place. After reading an article from the la times about the toyota throttle problems, i called my toyota dealer. He denied that there was a problem with the electronic throttle. I am…

I have a 2006 toyota tacoma. It has uncommanded engine surges. It is most notable at a stop. Once the vehicle stops engine rpm reduces to 500 rpms and seconds later it surges to 800rpm. I noticed this when i bought the car,but thought that was "normal". In 2008 it caused me to have a minor traffic accident and realized it was not normal. At higher rpms above 35 mph the vehicle feels like it is in a high gear as it…

I wanted to write you to let you know that i have a '06 tacoma double cab and i am experiencing the "lurch" problem. I have around 2000 miles on my truck. I thought it was just me being picky, but it actually feels like it doesn't want to stop at times. I have noticed that with the ac or heat on, if i are sitting at a red light, and don't have my foot firmly, i mean firmly planted on the brake, it wants to jump…

Engine tick is bothersome on a just purchased 2006 tacoma. I bought this truck because of the standard of quality, but i guess i thought wrong. Truck only has 600 miles on it, and the ticking is getting worse. *jb

I have a 2006 toyota tacoma 2.7 l manual trans where the gas pedal sticks, toyota claims its the floor mat. No way the floor mat has anything to do with this problem. This problem occurs about 5% of the time, when removing your foot from the petal, it will stay in the open position for aprox 10 sec before the rpm's slow down. I have own the truck new and did take it back to the dealership back in 2006. They told me…

1) vehicle was designed and delivered with this defect. Accelerator sticks when traveling over 50 mph. 2) no accident has occurred yet. The fault was first noticed when towing a trailer on the thruway. Coming up on a slower vehicle, i took my foot off the accelerator expecting the vehicle to slow. The vehicle kept on at the same speed as if the cruise control was engaged. I had to apply brakes to slow the vehicle. I…

I said well that injector must be bad change it was told all toyota's make that noise. This was a lie i have had it back 5x and i know i could fix it in 10 min by adjusting valve lash. I do not want to void the warranty hahahaahahah so hopefully it will not burn out the valve and it…

I purchased a toyota tacoma 2006 new and from day one had problems with the vehicle over revving on start up, which is very damaging to an engine in cold climates. It also between shifting from 3rd to 4th, and 4th to 5th gears the rpm's will not come down to enable one to shift properly and not only makes for a road dangerous condition but it also causes damage to the entire drive train. I've been unsuccessful at…

Engine tick is horrible for a brand new vehicle, i find it hard to believe this is what toyota is selling as a quality product. *nm
