Car abs wire disconnect, coolant in transmission lines and 4th gear not functional.
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, the brakes finally worked and she was able to navigate the turn, yet much too fast. overt the next two miles to our house on a 35mph road, she stopped the truck fine (once at a stop sign, and once at our mailbox). however, as she pulled into our garage she stepped on the brake pedal and again the brakes did not work, and the truck again accelerated on its own and hit a tool cabinet which hit the garage wall. thankfully she and the kids were ok. the truck has a push-bar on the front and that was pushed into the front bumper and grill, the tacoma's front bumper is concaved in the middle ...
Took truck in for frames inspection--dealer says i get a new frame--no cost. dealer is backing out of their word because campaign ended 3 months later--was told campaign would be good for several more year. service adviser never checked ending date. emergency brake cables are rusted again--fixed several times--poor product. rear differential cover plug rusted beyond able to remiove to change fluid--another huge rust issue with tacoma trucks--not just the frame. the steering mechanism, timing belt pulleys, wiring supports, etc --anything that is metal is corroded because of the poor quality of steel--just not the frame. the timing pulleys were so corroded that they cut my bel--lucky for me it still had 50% of it remaining and did not blow engine--truck had 63,000 miles on it at time. told to bring truck in for rear springs campaign--i did--they don't have the in stallion kits--been back ordered for months. campaign says they could rupture the gas tank and end in disaster--any you don't have parts!!!
Car at approximately 2 mph at indoor parking garage. my foot was not on the gas pedal when car accelerated suddenly. turned ignition off and was able to stop car before impact with several other vehicles.

The clutch master cylinder cracked.
We have had several issues with our 2006 toyota tacoma which has 125331 miles. on may 11, 2015, we brought the truck into mountain states toyota, for the repair of the rear drive shaft which had failed. i was experiencing a vibration even when driving at very low speeds that continued to get worse. i have enclosed the paperwork describing the repair, which i believe was tied to a recall, and another repair. october 19, 2012, the right rear leaf spring cracked and needed repair, mileage was 92303. at the time we did not know anything about the recall for the leaf springs, and the repair for the right had cost us 1408.11. the repair shop also noticed at the time that the left rear leaf spring was also faulty and needed to be repaired, that was repaired a few days later 10/23/2012 the cost 1407.61. at the time we had driven around not knowing what the vibration was only that the vehicle was very difficult to drive. the faulty leaf springs we were told at a later date by the toyota dealer may have played a factor ...
Got both brakes and rotors change still brakes do not work right does not stop very good. *tr
Parking brake sleeve broke at rear wheels causing the cable to seize in the sleeve and making the rear wheels lockup or parking brake to fail. *tr
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 toyota tacoma. while driving at various speeds, the brake warning indicator illuminated continuously. the contact stated that when the ignition was turned to the off position, the engine did not turn off. the contact had to depress the remote start in order for the vehicle to turn off. the contact stated that after the vehicle was repaired under a manufacturer's recall the failures occurred. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake lines were leaking and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.
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 was fortunate that another vehicle was not in front of me and this time i went through a stop sign. i called the dealer and had it checked out. they found nothing wrong. march 15th it happened again. once again i was lucky that no vehicle was in front of me, but i now brake way in advance of a light or stop sign because of fear. this time when the engine started to accelerate i got off the brake and went right back on and the engine stopped accelerating. i once again put it in the garage and they found nothing wrong. i think that the unintentional ...
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 manufacture of the brake line. a recall is necessary and must be implemented as soon as possible as this is such a serious safety issue which can result in loss of life. a case has been opened by toyota and at this time they have offered me 50% of the repair cost, so it is evident that they realize there is a material defect problem, but anything less than a vehicle recall and 100% reimbursement of the repair cost is not acceptable, especially due to the seriousness of this problem. *tr
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 at speed on highway there would have been an accident. *tr
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 while braking. *tr
