My check engine light came on along with vsc trac. after taking vehicle to dealership i was told that the repair would cost $2,048.73 due to the air pump being stuck in off position. while toyota in response to reports of air induction pump assemblies and/or air injection switching valves issues on their 2007-2010 tundra and 2008-2010 sequoia models, toyota has decided to increase its warranty on these parts and is even offering a reimbursement if you already had this issue fixed. my vehicle has the identical engine of the above-named vehicles but toyota does not offer any help with the 4runner. it is my understanding that if i do not get the problem fixed it becomes a huge problem within federally mandated emissions requirement. *tr

I was pulling into my garage very slowly and when i stepped on the brake, the car accelerated rapidly like it was shot out of a cannon. i went through the back of the garage (sheet rock, 2x4, freezer and other items that were stored in the garage). i was air born and landed about 10 feet from the house with my foot still on the brake. the airbags did not deploy and i hit my face on the steering wheel, injuring my nose and required 7 stitches in my lip. i could've been killed but god was on my side. *tr

on october 30, 2011, i was driving off the new london connecticut highway exit and as i was applying my foot on the brake to slow down, my vehicle would not stop, it felt that it was picking up speed instead. i pumped the brakes couple times and pressed on the pedal as far as it could go to the floor. a great fear came over me and my heart started racing, my whole body stiffened, trying hard to focus, i turned my ignition key off in order for my vehicle to stop. by that time the accident occurred.i live in connecticut. i discovered that my warranty was not registered with toyota financial service insurance. i was also informed by toyota motor sales usa inc. that a recall on my vehicle was not corrected by the dealership before they sold it to me. the floor mat which leaned toward the accelerator pedal and interfered with the accelerator pedal arm and became temporarily stuck in a partially depressed position rather than returning to the idle position. when this matter was confronted to conicelli toyota, they stated that they apologized for the human error in ...

On sat. aug. 14, 2010 my 2005 toyota 4runner accelerated backwards at a high rate of speed as i was attempting to back out of my sister's driveway. i had my foot on the brake at the time and tried to stop the car but could not. i put it in park, nothing happened, then i turned it off and we stopped. we actually backed into a grove of small trees and shrubs which caught us. the car was scratched up a little but not much damage was done. i did call the police and made a report. my younger sister was with me. the backwards acceleration was smooth and did not knock us around much and the stop was kind of smooth. after i turned it off i could not use the brakes anymore but at least we stopped. it was very frightening and i am afraid to drive the car any more. it is parked at my house. first i rented a car and now have borrowed one from a relative. i called corporate toyota and an engineer from eaa is coming to brunswick toyota tomorrow ...

I was driving east on i-66 just a few miles from i-495 in fairly heavy traffic around 8:55am on march 11, 2010. i wastraveling approximately 15 mph in the right lane when my 2005 toyota 4runner limited suddenly surged forward as if someone had stomped on the gas pedal. i immediately applied both feet to the brake and the antilock brakes began to shudder. the shuddering lasted 2 to 3 seconds and then the vehicle finally reduced throttle. there was no accident or traffic incident, but the experience was quite unnerving. my vehicle is not part of any recall. i called the dealer and scheduled an appointment for the next day. i continued on to work drivng with my hand on the shifter and i even practiced shifting into nuetral. when the problem had occurred, i did not remember to shift into nuetral. everything had happened so fast and the acceleration was so violent, my only instinct was to apply the brake decisively. i drove home very carefully that evening and then to the dealership the next morning. my original appointment was for 1pm, but i thought it wiser ...
