Vibration occurred between 15 and 20 mph. The truck felt like you were driving over a gravel road. Research indicated there were tsb's for a similar problem at a little higher speed which extended the warranty to 5 years or 80,000 miles. I was first told by the local toyota dealership that the problem was a rubber insulator engine mount in the transmission. I was later told when the truck was in for repair that the…

After pulling into a parking spot, prior to changing the gear from drive to park, the engine revved up violently on it's own. My foot was no longer on the accelerator. Luckily, i was able to apply hard and fast pressure to the brake pedal as soon as the engine roared, and put the truck in park before lurching into the brick wall in front of me. I turned the truck off, and restarted it. It started normally, and i had…

I pulled out of my parking space, put the vehicle in drive, mashed the gas to go forward and the gas pedal stuck wide open. I floored the brakes to no avail. The rpm's buried below the red line. I was screaming and crying. I pushed the gear shifter out of drive through neutral to reverse and park. The transmission grinded. I was scared to death. *tr
