1996 toyota land cruiser. Consumer states undesired acceleration. *tgw the consumer stated he is certain that the sudden acceleration he experienced was not mechanical in nature but, rather a computer software or other electronic malfunction. The situation occurred at times when the accelerator pedal was not being used which made it impossible for the floor mat or linkage sticking to be involved. The consumer stated whatever the problem is, it does not trigger any codes in the vehicle's computer. On one occasion, the consumer almost crashed into a house when the engine failed to return to idle and the brakes were nearly unable to stop the vehicle .

1996 toyota land cruiser purchased new by me with approximately 89,000 miles. At approx 88,000 miles, the driver's door handle mechanism failed. In particular, the opening mechanism broke without any prior indication of impending problems. As a result, the door was unable to be opened from either inside the vehicle or outside the vehicle. It was necessary to crawl out of the driver's seat from the passenger door (and back in to drive to the dealer for repair). The dealer had to remove the interior door panel while the door was close resulting in damage to the panel and seat. Thereafter, the door opening mechanism was removed and replaced. Total cost for parts and labor was approximately $750 plus the additional $350 cost to replace the damaged door panel.
