| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2004 toyota tacoma 4x4 with a 3.4 liter v6. i have already filed 1 complaint butt in frustration will try this again. the electronic throttle bodies that come on 2003 and 2004 toyota tacomas are flawed and need to be investigated and recalled due to safety concerns. the problem is that the accelerator position sensors on these throttle bodies are going out, causing the accelerator to become useless unless depressed greater than 60%. i have all most been in 2 accidents while pulling out into traffic and having this occur. when the sensor fails the throttle valve closes leaving the person driving the vehicle without enough acceleration to get out of the way of on coming traffic. in vehicles with manual transmission it is especially dangerous when on an incline (very difficult not to role backwards and hit something behind you). also, no check engine light has came on when this has occurred. i have read hundreds of letters on the internet from people having the same problem. is it going to take someone getting killed or a healthy law suit to make toyota take action? *nm |
