I was driving the truck to a body shop to fix the frame and body of the truck, as directed from toyota. which i was told from toyota in portsmouth nh, to take it to a body shop to get it fixed. when driving the vehicle they car began to accelerate out of control, i had to pass several vehicles, the car was shaking as i had the breaks on the whole time. it was upwards of 80 miles an hour with out any control. my sister was following me, i also have proof from the body shop, as i barely made it there, i had to put on the emergency break to stop the car. toyota customer service told me, probably driver error, not the case. when i left the truck with the body shop, they told me the frame and body of the truck were not repairable. i paid toyota for tire rotation, oil change, and filters, to hear that i have to scrap the car. i still feel unsafe driving due to the truck accelerating out of control, and got no support from toyota. *tr
