 Description of the problemI am filing this complaint with reference to odi #' s 10183308 and 10288886. These odi's were put in by me. These are lead up's to this complaint. After the collision with the polaris i drove my vehicle home. The next day i drove the vehicle to tim's toyota in prescott az. Where the vehicle was purchased. They looked at the vehicle and said that they would call for a factory rep. To look at my vehicle. This was to be on nov. 9, 2009. I did drive my vehicle to yarnell az for deer season. I drove the vehicle back to prescott to meet with the factory rep. He did whatever they do and said he had all the information he needed. He also told me to go ahead and get an estimate for the repairs but not to have it repaired until i heard from toyota. The preliminary estimate is just shy of $2000. 00. This estimate was given to jeff locke to be sent to toyota. My question to all of this is, why did toyota allow me to drive this vehicle after the meeting, when they know that i am driving a time bomb. Also why hasn't national highway safety involved itself into an investigation of its own? I now know the verbiage for the incident. It is called " sudden unintended acceleration" which is tied together with the cruise control, throttle body and other electrical, vacuum controlled , mechanical units. Look it up for yourselves. It will open your eyes to what is going on with this condition. My vehicle sits in my garage so anytime national highway safety wants to do an investigation is fine with me. Toyota has not done a proper evaluation of the issue. My insurance company is behind me 100% and is now going to contact toyota to try to find the cause for "sudden acceleration" and cruise control units to behave the way that they are. Racing to over 5000 rpm's and hunting gears the way they do is just not the way they are supposed to operate. Toyota would have us believe that a floor mat is at fault and now the whole pedal assembly. Or is it that we don't know the gas from the brake pedal?
