| On september 26, 2007, toyota filed a defect information report and notified nhtsa that some of its model year (my) 2007 and 2008 lexus e350 and toyota camry vehicles could experience unintended and uncontrolled acceleration due to interference between the optional all weather floor mat offered on those vehicles and the vehicles' accelerator pedal.this decision was influenced by an office of defects investigation (odi) engineering analysis.this recall was designated 07e082.two years later, on october 5, 2009, toyota filed a defect information report and notified nhtsa that a number of its my 2004-2009 lexus and toyota vehicles may also experience unintended and uncontrolled acceleration due to interference between the accelerator pedal and the driver's floor mat.this recall was designated 09v388.several months later, on january 27, 2010, toyota filed an amended, or supplemental, defect information report and expanded the population of vehicles to include additional my 2008-2010 toyota and lexus vehicles.since this expansiontook place in a different calendar year, this recall was designated 10v023.separately on january 21, 2010, toyota filed a defect information report and notified nhtsa that certain toyota vehicles and certain pontiac vibe vehicles contained a safety defect in the accelerator pedal assembly that may cause the accelerator pedal to become harder to depress, slower to return, or in the worse case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position.nhtsa designated this recall 10v017.in total, the four recalls cover over 7.6 million toyota and lexus vehicles as well as the pontiac vibe product made by new united motor manufacturing, inc., a venture of toyota and general motors corporation.nhtsa requires additional information from toyota to more fully understand and evaluate, among other things, whether the scope of the recalls identified above (makes, models and model years) is sufficiently broad.the agency is seeking to determine whether toyota viewed the underlying defects too narrowly as interference between the accelerator pedal and the driver | ||||||

| I own a 2008 toyota tundra which i purchased new. from the day i purchased it, the accelerator fluctuated whenever i hit a bump. this was most evident when i started from a stop and hit a bump. i didn't think too much about it until the fluctuation became so bad i thought i would at some point, lose control of the vehicle. i notified toyota about this problem when in 2010, my vehicle was recalled for accelerator problems. toyota replaced the accelerator. i continued to complain about the sensitive accelerator until a district service manager notified me that my vehicle's accelerator was normal. he further indicated that new tundra's had the same accelerator feel as mine. the district manager stated that he had parked my vehicle next to a new vehicle in case i wanted to compare the new vehicle to mine. i did not compare the two vehicles. however, i feel the accelerator in my vehicle is a hazard and should be examined for the safety of those who own toyota tundra's. | |||

| Sudden acceleration on my 2008 toyota tundra. the truck would not stop, kept getting faster and faster turned key off to stop. took to dealer and they said they put a shim on the gas peddle and then test drove the truck and found no problem. i called toyota corporate and they said they would only note my account and will not investigate problem. my complaint is that no one will look into the vehicle computer to see what caused the vehicle to accelerate so fast. why it got worse when i applied the brakes? toyota is totally not taken this serious at all. *dt | |||

| As i arrived at my home and drove up into my driveway i experienced an unexplained acceleration on my 2008 toyota tundra that made me react to slam on the brakes and cause the truck to slide on an unpaved (dirt) surface in my yard and slide into the trunk of a pine tree and damaging the front bumper to my truck. i heard on the news that there was a recall for the floor mats on this vehicle to be removed if it did not have clips to hold the mat in place. my truck does have the clips to hold the mat in place and prevents the acceleration pedal from getting lodged with the mat. i do believe the acceleration problem was caused by an unknown defect and not the floor mat. currently, the floor mat remains in place on its clips without interference to the acceleration pedal. today, i received a recall letter from toyota to remove the floor mat, therefore, i will. again i don't believe the floor mat was the problem. i just want this complaint documented because it caused around $500 worth of damaged to my truck. *tr | |||
