Accelerated by itself. Unintended acceleration. My wife was driving our 2006 4x4 toyota tacoma on a 55mph road with or 3 year old and 1 year old children on march 2017 at around 12:00 noon, when she started to decelerate to turn onto side road she depressed the brakes but they didn't work, she pressed harder and there was no change; then the truck accelerated on its own while she still only applied the brake pedal,…

I have enclosed the paperwork describing the repair, which i believe was tied to a recall, and another repair. October…

The brake lines are all rusty on my truck. I had to have one brake line replaced and all are in danger of leaking at any time. There is so much rust on the underside of my truck that more of the brake lines are going to break and cause an accident. Also i just had to have the steering rack replaced at 63000 miles and the lines to the steering rack were rusty and had to be replaced. *tr

On october 2013 i approached a red light (no car in front of me) the road surface was wet and the abs kicked in. When i applied the brake hard, the engine started to accelerate and i couldn't hold the truck back. I went through the red light avoiding an accident. I called the toyota dealer and was told that i probably did not press down on the brake hard enough. On january 2014 the same thing occurred. Here again i…

Complete loss of braking when pressing down on brake pedal. Vehicle was inspected by toyota dealership service department and they stated the condition was caused by loss of brake fluid due to extensive corrosion/rust of the brake line and the entire brake line needed to be replaced. This is a serious safety issue which can result in loss of life when brakes fail due to the defective material that is used in the…

Driving from back yard to driveway to position truck for long trip. Driveway is slope. Unable to stop truck with foot brake; pedal went to floor. Had to stop with emergency brake. Refilled brake master reservoir, still no brakes. Towed to shop. They found steel brake line rusted through. Replaced steel lines with copper nickel lines. Don't think brake lines should rust through at 39,000 miles. Had failure happened…

As i was rolling down hill and applying the brakes, the truck suddenly accelerated. As i pressed the brakes harder the anti-lock brakes activated and the truck continued to move forward for a short distance, almost into on coming traffic, while the engine could be heard loud as if the gas peddle was being pushed although the brakes were being applied only. Scary! Uncontrollable forward movement and acceleration…

Finally did floor mat recall work done on my 2006 tacoma. New floor mat is thin, flimsy, nothing like original thick all weather floor mat. I also want to add, there was nothing wrong with the original design aw floor mat for tacoma vehicles, there was absolutely no interference with the accelerator pedal, and that the only reason i changed the mats was due to the mat ribs starting to break on the driver's side. In…
