Description of the problem | My toyota pu, when stopping, will occasionally either have the accelerator stick or the transmission not disengage, causing me to have to shift the transmission into neutral to allow the brakes to stop the truck. I have discussed numerous times with the dealer and the main office in ca without any results. They claim that it has to happen every time before they can fix it. My contention is that i will end up in an accident if i have to wait until it happens every time. Until the dealer suggested i shift into neutral, i was trying to have the brakes overcome the engine torque to stop the truck. Of the four times this has happened over the last four months, the engine actually died due to the brakes stopping the truck while the automatic transmission was still trying to drive the truck forward. Twice the transmission slipped into its idle state by itself during my stopping and once i shifted into neutral so i could stop the truck. The manager of northhills toyota has refused to discuss this with me after my leaving three messages. |
