| I was on my way to get gas i came to a stop light there were about 4-5 cars waiting for the light to change, my truck started to accelerate as soon as i applied my brakes,unable to stop the truck i pulled into a gas station that was on my right i was able to put the truck on park and it began to accelerate even faster.i turn the car off and the acceleration stopped i missed the gas pump by 2 feet.i had the truck towed to mcgeorge toyota 9314 west broad street richmond va and they did a diagnostic test,they came back to me and said that i had loose mats,and wrong pedals on my truck,which had nothing to do with what i experence(,i report this also to toyota ),i feel that they are trying to brush this under the carpet by saying it was my mat,and gas pedals that were installed in my truck,i know what i went through and almost had a real tragic accident it was not the mats,or my pedals..this truck took on a life of its own and i could have killed someone or myself, and would like to go on record in case anything happens to me or someone else..there is something wrong with this toyota tacoma by the way i only have had this truck less than a month and have not even made my first payment ! | |||

| Vehicle has approximately 38,000 miles, 2007 toyota tacoma. i was traveling approximately 3 mph when four indicator lights illuminated and a warning alarm constant tone. at that point i lost all power to the braking system. i did not experience any issues leading up to this incident and the dealership has been unable to diagnose the cause of the complete loss of power to the brakes. the dealership stated i would need to replace the entire abs actuator assembly (master cylinder assembly, with engine control module, with booster pump). toyota currently experiences a national back order on the required parts to repair the vehicle (part numbers 47050-04041 and 47070-04020). i am concerned that there is a larger problem with the braking system that has not been addressed by toyota. i was further told that this issue is extremely rare but with a back order on the parts and no anticipated delivery date, i am very skeptical. it seems there have been some braking issues with other toyota models around the same time frame. | |||
