Tacoma 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles
The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Tacoma. While driving approximately 70 mph on normal road conditions, the cruise control was disengaged and the vehicle rapidly began accelerating. The vehicle failed to slow down; however, the contact was able to shut the engine off and restart the vehicle. The contact drove the vehicle to a nearby service station and determined that the failure was contributed to the throttle body cable connecter. The vehicle was repaired. The contact has concerns of the safety risk involved. The failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 120,000. Updated 12/07/09. Upon inspection, it was determined the cruise control cable housing clip had failed and was pulling the accelerator. Updated 12/08/09
