Ref: NHTSA 96E00100 ref: Toyota referred recall website <www.internetautoguide.com/auto-recalls/09-int/1996/Toyota/Tacoma/index.html> Jan 03, 1996 | recall id# 39110 - recall reason vehicle speed control recall date Jan 03, 1996 model affected Tacoma potential units affected 5145 recall summary; these cruise control systems fail to hold the speed set by the driver and can accelerate above the intended set speed. Consequence; unintended acceleration can increase the potential for a vehicle accident. Remedy; dealers will replace these cruise control assemblies. Notes: Rostra precision controls this is currently happening with my 1996 Toyota Tacoma. Twice it accelerated to over 90 mph while on a recent trip to another state. It now drops out rapidly at any speed after 1/2 mile or so, and the cc light blinks constantly. I've called Toyota about this problem (please note: This evidently has been happening since 1996!!!) and they refuse to honor the recall. Can you help get my vehicle returned to a safe to drive state where the cruise control is no longer a safety issue? I've had the dropping out problem since I bought the vehicle, but thought it was because the unit was under powered. Now that it's speeding up, I learned just recently that it's defective and Toyota knew about it!! thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
