2007 toyota tacoma sua (sudden unintended acceleration) my incident started from a near standstill with my right foot firmly on the brake. As a formally trained observer and troubleshooter of aircraft electronic systems, it is my opinion that this vehicle delivered uninitiated stimulus to the electronic throttle control system. I am 100% positive about this finding as I personally experienced this failure with a clear mind and excellent vantage point. I was finally able to stop this vehicle after violent and aggressive braking was applied while contacting a cement picnic table. This finally occurred just short of a 267 foot cliff/hill pointing into a reservoir. This is my second entry into the federal safety agency database concerning the unintended acceleration of a 2007 toyota tacoma. I have now been through the entire toyota process and have had all recalls and investigations performed. Damage from the accident due to sua has been repaired. Toyota findings were conclusive. "could not duplicate". This means they do not have to do anything at all. I have to date engaged in extensive research of this phenomenon and I am shocked as to the findings recently announced by ray lahood and nasa that exonerates electronics as a possible issue. I have been supporting, maintaining and troubleshooting electronic problems since 1980 and consider myself a credible professional technician. This was definitely an electronic ghost in the machine.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota tacoma. The contact was driving 15 MPH and applied the brakes when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a wall. The air bags did not deploy. The contact stated there was a electrical malfunction that occurred before the crash. The contact was able to drive the vehicle from the scene and took the vehicle to the dealer where the dealer performed a diagnostic test and discovered that the spiral cable assembly had malfunctioned. The dealer replaced the spiral cable assembly but the contact stated that after the repairs, the vehicle still experienced major electrical problems. The contact believed that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The failure mileage was 67,142. ..updated 05/19/16 *bf
While on a camping trip my 2007 toyota tacoma suffered a sudden unintended acceleration event. While applying the brakes and coming to a stop the tacoma suddenly accelerated and flew over two good size boulders a cast iron fire pit and came to a rest after hitting a solid concrete picnic table. A report was filed with coho campground hosts acting as to go on file with the washington state forestry department. This even occurred at the wynoochee dam and reservoir located in the pacific northwest of washington state. The truck was remanded to toyota of olympia washington and the insurance carrier was notified. The truck was due for the well documented toyota floor mat, gas pedal and braking acceleration override modification. Now listen carefully here...the floor mats were heavy duty rubber non-toyota brand mats. They were not impeding the gas pedal in any way shape or form. The truck accelerated instantly while braking and almost at a dead stop. Review of the federal safety agency findings on this issue are shocking. I did not hit the accelerator by mistake, there is a huge difference in the size, feel and consistency of these two incredibly different pedals. Many children and campers were present in this campground, the sheer luck that no one was killed is a matter of fate. The fact I am writing you from my living room and not a jail cell while being held for vehicular manslaughter is a miracle. This is not driver error, you have a bunch of 4 wheel time bombs out there traversing the nations highways. With over 30 years in technical electronic systems I assure you this truck accelerated from an almost dead stop while my right foot was on the gigantic break pedal, not the little tiny gas pedal. Hear me, believe me..... End of story.
2007 tacoma truck. Upon starting truck it went into a hi-speed idle pegging the tach. Turned off ignition and restarted after about 5 seconds. Same result. Waited about 10 seconds normal operation on third start. It sounded like a jet had landed in my drive way. Called dealer. Stated that unless check engine was on there is no trouble code to be displayed. As of this date (8-30-10) I will not let my wife or anyone else drive this auto.
Navigation and temperature gage failure. Dealer noted that on 2005-2007 models the unit fails frequently around the 3 year mark.
The speedometer will start to jump from your current rate of speed to anything below that. It started on sunday late after noon on sep. 15, 2008. Then the cruise control would accelerate on its own when in use. Both have continued to happen since then, accept now the truck is not getting very good gas mileage, the gauges stopped working all together, and the check engine light is now on. The truck is at the dealership as I type this being looked into. There is a serious problem from what I can see when I drive it. Something electrical for sure, and possibly elsewhere internally. I am concerned to have my family in the truck with me at times from the way the truck drives. Another concern is the warranty will be up in a few thousand miles and I am concerned that whatever the electrical problem may be, they could try to sugar coat it so it last a couple thousand miles, then they are not responsible for it. I just want it fixed and safe for my family.
