Toyota Tacoma Engine Safety Report | Feb 19, 2014
Reported on Feb 19, 2014
| AFTER DRIVING FOR 2 HOURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65) MPH I EXITED THE HIGHWAY TO A INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT. UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD ON ITS OWN. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP A COLLISION BY PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL . I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE BY ONLY USING THE BRAKES. THE ENGINE OVER REVOLUTIONS BUT CAME BACK TO A IDLE IN JUST A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS IN THE PAST TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I WAS NOT TOWING ANYTHING AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LOADED WITH ANY ADDITIONAL WEIGHT. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I CONTINUED ON WITH MY TRIP AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS AGAIN AS OF THIS DATE. 02/20/2014 | |
