| Description of the problem | - uneven and unexpected sudden acceleration without any additional pedal pressure - had sudden acceleration while making a turn and vehicle went out of control - experienced sudden acceleration while changing lanes on a freeway - even received a traffic ticket in dec 2009 once for failing to yield when the vehicle did not slow down on pressing on the brake - several times experienced deceleration while trying to speed up and cross a signal light and other locations - many times noted sluggish pickup when starting the car after driving a while and stopping at intersection or due to traffic and then trying to continue driving - sometimes i clearly hear the engine throttle being disproportionate to the gas pedal pressing and a sudden thrust happening in the vehicle - once while starting from an intersection, the front wheel of the car went into a spin faster than the rear wheel causing a slipping motion and this was on a clear day and good road condition. - vehicle loses balance or shakes on the slightest of winds or when changing lanes. This kind of problems i never even had in my old smaller ford focus 2002 car. - this vehicle is not covered by toyota recall for the accelerator pedal issue but these problems exist as they definitely are an electronic circuit problem. - the floor mat issue or sticky pedal issue is not my problem clearly - toyota salesmen knowingly did not inform me of the recalls and full extent of details of the acceleration issue and after the sale was consummated in passing mentioned me to keep the floor mat tied an that was it. |
