| Description of the problem | Summer 2009, 2008 toyota tundra suddenly accelerated for approx 3 seconds, then resumed normal drive. Contacted toyota and told it was floormats. Removed floormats and later recieved floormat recall notice. Several months later, happened again while going 10mph down driveway, vehicle had accelaration burst almost causing crash into tree. Contacted toyota, they talked of floormats. When i stated i had removed them previously, toyota stated it must be something else unrelated to the vehicle. Soon issues came out on the news. I again contacted toyota, but they informed me that the '08 tundra did not have issues. I gave up the vehicle for fear of family getting hurt. Only after did i recieve a notice in the mail stating 2008 tundras did have mechanical issues. |
