| I have already filed a safety complaint regarding my sudden acceleration accident approximately 4 years ago. i noticed that toyota has issued a recall for this problem for toyota 4runners going back to 2003. my vehicle is a 2002. basically, i'm writing to urge nhtsa to asktoyota what is different about the gas pedal assembly from 2003 to 2002 because there is no doubt there was a major malfunction with my car and if the assemble & parts manufactures is the same from 03 to 02 then the recall should be extended. also, the other main reason i'm writing you is so that there is a record of me requesting my vehicle be included in the recall so that way if something happens to me again we will have a record of it. *tr | |||

| I own a toyota 4 runner. while driving across country last fall i noticed that the truck would accelerate rapidly when i had cruise control on. the cruise control would kick in as it should have but it would accelerate very rapidly and felt out of control. once it began the acceleration, it would never stop and level out to the appropriate speed as it should have. it would continue to accelerate. braking worked in slowing the vehicle down, but it frightened me while i was driving. i do not use the cruise control now as a result of this. i was driving r/t from ca to denver, co and it happened several times during this trip. *tr | |||
