| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 toyota tundra which i purchased new. From the day i purchased it, the accelerator fluctuated whenever i hit a bump. This was most evident when i started from a stop and hit a bump. I didn't think too much about it until the fluctuation became so bad i thought i would at some point, lose control of the vehicle. I notified toyota about this problem when in 2010, my vehicle was recalled for accelerator problems. Toyota replaced the accelerator. I continued to complain about the sensitive accelerator until a district service manager notified me that my vehicle's accelerator was normal. He further indicated that new tundra's had the same accelerator feel as mine. The district manager stated that he had parked my vehicle next to a new vehicle in case i wanted to compare the new vehicle to mine. I did not compare the two vehicles. However, i feel the accelerator in my vehicle is a hazard and should be examined for the safety of those who own toyota tundra's. |
