| 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 | ||||||

| My o6 tacoma has had two acellerations,the first time i ran across a traffic lane to the side of the road,the next time it was in a supermarket parking lot.toyota checked the truck out,said all was fine.the next time toyota had a tech.look at it said it was fine,would not give me any paper work,at this point i was afraid to drive it,my family would not ride in it.tried to buy a toyota,they would not work with me on the price,told toyota that i was getting a new truck and wanted them to pay for one-half.they did not deney it,i sent them the invoice for 3500.00,have not heard from them at this date.toyota has given me the run-around and this has been a hardship on me and my family,i like the truck,put alot of extra items on it,i was planning on having it a long time. | |||

| The jack that comes with a toyota tacoma (2005 or later) with the off-road package does not work. the jack is too small to reach the lowest point on the vehicle to jack the truck to change a tire. toyota does not advise the customer upon purchase of the vehicle that the jack is not compatible with the truck. i contacted toyota customer service and they responded by saying they had tested the jack with the tire and it worked. i responded that the strut and leaf spring combination on the vehicle raised the vehicle higher and a standard jack would not work. toyota refused to acknowledge they had provided a product that would not work with their vehicle. potential danger exists if the operator is unaware of the jack issue and suffers a flat in a remote location and has no way of contacting anyone for assistance. it would seem obvious that vehicle manufacturers should be required to provide equipment that actually works with the vehicle design. *tr | |||
