| On three separate occasions over a weeks time span while driving my truck it has accelerated by itself. when i have taken my foot off the gas pedal the truck continued to go faster and was hard to slow down and stop. i brought the truck to a toyota dealer and was told if they could get the vehicle to do this they could fix it. they kept the truck for a day and drove it but the truck ran normal. they said it ran fine and told me to come and pick it up. *nlm | |||

| Truck dash has rattled since shortly after we bought the truck. never has been fixed correctly. also, the cruise control doesn't keep you at consistent speed at all on mountains/hills. if you want to go 55, it will put you up over 60 very quickly and then gradually drop you down to around 55. *ak | |||
