| Description of the problem | 2003 toyota 4runner with 57,000 miles accelerated from 5 mph after taking a turn, to 50 mph. I pumped the brakes but the car did not slow down. I put all of my weight (i weigh 230 lbs.) on the brake pedal and after 3 or 4 seconds the car stopped accelerating. The 4runner is not on the recall list but there are many similar complaints on both the 4runner and other toyota models that are not on the recall list. Toyota cannot be trusted. If you own one, sell it. If you don't then don't buy any toyota. They continue to try to hide the truth. |
