Description of the problem | My 2004 toyota 4 runner skidded in stop light when there was little ice on street. When i tried to accelerate the car after stopping a stop light, the vehicle makes humming noise and skid making it out of control. In winter 2009, similar incident happened on i-69 (20 miles east of flint, mi), when i tried to accelerate the suv and lost control as the car skidded off the road causing injury. This is a serious problem and i believe is a design defect with the acceleration system. This may be life threatening as i am always worried to drive the car. This serious design problem with 2004 toyota 4 runner should be investigated for safety. |
