My '02 toyota tundra would suddenly not idle on its on. Then it would run normally. This has happened twice now. Now I have to push the gas pedal half way to the floor to get any response. In researching the problem I discovered that there are a lot of people having the same problem. It is all related to either the throttle position sensor or the throttle level sensor. These parts cost around $275 each. Toyota mechanics know there is a problem here but toyota will do nothing to help.
2002 Toyota Tundra acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving 70 MPH, the transmission stalled. The vehicle was towed. Dealership repaired the problem. *ak the driver heard and felt a loud bump in the rear of the vehicle. The engine continued to run but the vehicle would not move when the consumer applied the gas pedal. There was rear end grease leaking from the right side rear showing on the wheel and tire. The mechanic stated that there was no connection between the rear brake, rear end leaking grease, the drive shaft and the failure of the transmission. The brakes were a major problem, the cruise control never kept speed or smooth, the left lower front ball joint had a catastrophic failure that caused the entire wheel, brake line and all essential components on the left side of the vehicle to come loose. The consumer requested reimbursement. *sc the brakes were a problem on the vehicle, and the drums were replaced.
Toyota camry 2002 model; problem observed 6 months after I bought the brand new car; brake problem? Car accelerates. Reported to the dealer and then to the company; nothing has been done. I told them "I am scared to death to drive this car because sometimes I cannot stop the car".
Vehicle was parked on a hill with engine on when suddenly vehicle started to roll forward into a house. Cause unknown. Please provide any further information.
