Description of the problem | I was on my way to get gas i came to a stop light there were about 4-5 cars waiting for the light to change, my truck started to accelerate as soon as i applied my brakes,unable to stop the truck i pulled into a gas station that was on my right i was able to put the truck on park and it began to accelerate even faster. I turn the car off and the acceleration stopped i missed the gas pump by 2 feet. I had the truck towed to mcgeorge toyota 9314 west broad street richmond va and they did a diagnostic test,they came back to me and said that i had loose mats,and wrong pedals on my truck,which had nothing to do with what i experence(,i report this also to toyota ),i feel that they are trying to brush this under the carpet by saying it was my mat,and gas pedals that were installed in my truck,i know what i went through and almost had a real tragic accident it was not the mats,or my pedals.. This truck took on a life of its own and i could have killed someone or myself, and would like to go on record in case anything happens to me or someone else.. There is something wrong with this toyota tacoma by the way i only have had this truck less than a month and have not even made my first payment ! *js |
