| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tundra. I had my tundra run away with me twice; both times it occurred when i went to passing gear while in cruise control. Prospect motors in jackson ca looked into the problem and said it was the floor mat. I argued with the service guy, but he wouldn't listen. I know for sure that during the first occurrence that the floor mat was secured. And i would bet that it wasn't the issue with the second incident. I use cruise control a lot but no longer leave it on when using passing gear. The first time incident, i was able to regain speed control by stomping on both the brake and gas petals. I was never able to regain speed control during the second incident. I had to stand on the brake pedal with both feet and pull against the steering wheel while trying to get off to the side of the road safely. Once off the road i was able to turn off the engine. We almost crashed into the oncoming traffic. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated. I have no faith in toyota's remedy for this problem. The failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 33,000. Updated 03/10/10 *bf the consumer requested that no changes be made to his complaint. Updated 05/10/10 |
