 Description of the problemI am writing about a sudden acceleration problem i had with my 2011 4x4 tacoma. On january 6th, i was returning from an appointment. I left the parking lot going about 10-20mph, i drove 1/10th of a mile down the access road when i went to brake at the intersection. As soon as i touched the brake the engine dramatically increased its speed and the truck started to accelerate. I immediately applied full pressure to the brake to stop the truck but the engine was still highly rev'd and i could feel the truck trying to accelerate. As soon as i shifted the transmission into neutral the engine revs went back to normal idle speed and the truck stopped trying to move forward. Other details are that the outside temperature was between 10-20f, roads were clear and dry and the truck was in 2wd. After i checked the accelerator pedal, it was free and clear of any obstruction that could have made it stick. The truck was purchased new in oct 2011 and currently had about 24k miles on it. The truck had been driven about 5 miles to the appointment, sat for about an hour before the return trip home. It was fortunate that this did not cause an accident. Being aware of the prior sudden acceleration problems in the news with toyotas this seems to be a case where it has occurred on a 2011 model. The following week i submitted this same information to toyota.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
