Description of the problem | I was stopped waiting for oncoming traffic at rt. 136 west newton pa. With my foot on the brake the truck accelerated so hard the brake would not hold it even with full pressure applied. The oncoming car missed me by inches. After trying to get toyota to take care of it with no luck, i traded the truck in with only 3000 miles on it. I am very concerned that the truck will be sold to someone that may have the same problem and not be as fortunate as i was. *jb see also 10180652 *dsy |
