On December 1, 2019 I was backing into a gas station fill up spot. As I let off the gas to apply pressure to the brakes the truck revved up and started accelerating in reverse. I applied as much pressure to the brakes as possible only to continue accelerating in reverse. I could fill the truck's brakes attempting to stop the vehicle but the truck's back tires are squealing over powering the brakes. I finally come to a stop on one of the poles that protects the gas pumps after hitting another vehicle. I have contacted Toyota and they sent a third party company to pull the information from the event data recorder. I was told I would get a report over what they said happened within 30 days after the third party has inspected the vehicle. It has now been 37 days and Toyota is refusing to give me any information. I have done all the recalls that have been issued on the 2006 Tacoma. On one recall they installed an override that would have decreased acceleration in the event that both the brake and gas were being depressed at the same time. This did not work in my accident. I have noticed on this site that there are 144 other complaints on this make and model of truck of the same thing occurring, yet that is not enough to say that the truck is unsafe? I am convinced that the truck is a danger and Toyota is not responding and have missed the deadline of getting me the report within 30 days.

The airbag light just turned on. Cruise control on steering wheel is not functioning, audio control on steering not working also and lastly the horn is not working also. Looks like a spiral cable problem based on the symptom and validation of discussion group online. Checked for recall here and seen my VIN number on the range for recall. Why did I not received any recall notice on this. Not sure if the vehicle is unsafe to drive considering the airbag deployed light is on or if this will affect the airbag deloyment if needed. This happened just recently and there are issues similar to my case. Hope it can be fixed by Toyota.

I do not see the recall for the spiral cable assembly on my Tacoma. I read that this VIN is part of a recall for the wiring in the steering wheel that controls my passenger airbag, cruise control and some other functions. It has malfunctioned. Why is it not listed on your website? when I checked on the status of this recall, it shows that my model, according to the VIN does qualify for this. My passenger airbag is not working, and my cruise control is no longer working at speed.

Accelerated by itself. Unintended acceleration. My wife was driving our 2006 4X4 Toyota Tacoma on a 55mph road with or 3 year old and 1 year old children on March 2017 at around 12:00 noon, when she started to decelerate to turn onto side road she depressed the brakes but they didn't work, she pressed harder and there was no change; then the truck accelerated on its own while she still only applied the brake pedal, the brakes finally worked and she was able to navigate the turn, yet much too fast. Overt the next two miles to our house on a 35mph road, she stopped the truck fine (once at a stop sign, and once at our mailbox). However, as she pulled into our garage she stepped on the brake pedal and again the brakes did not work, and the truck again accelerated on its own and hit a tool cabinet which hit the garage wall. Thankfully she and the kids were ok. The truck has a push-bar on the front and that was pushed into the front bumper and grill, the Tacoma's front bumper is concaved in the middle and the ends are broken from where the join the front fenders, the lower grill area also broke. I immediately called three different Toyota dealerships to explain what had happened and ask if there was a recall. Two claimed to never have heard of this, and one of those told me to make sure a floor mat wasn't in the way (which it wasn't). One service advisor stated that this was similar symptoms to a national recall that had been issued for other Toyota models, but not our Tacoma was not one of those. I took to the internet and instantly found thousands of similar complaints by Tacoma owners, and even verbiage that nhsta has had thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of similar complaints for this generation Tacoma. I tested the truck later in the day and it worked as it should, however it's clear that Toyota, and this Tacoma, have unintended acceleration issues

I was pulling into my driveway with the intention of parking in the garage. I was slowly with my foot on the brake, turning into the driveway when the vehicle simultaneously started to squeal (as I was on the brake) and accelerate. I kept pushing harder and harder on the brake, the squealing continued. I was able to put the truck in park and shut the ignition off prior to crashing into anything.

Original recall 09V388000 for speed control was remedied by modification to the gas pedal and replacement or repurchase of the floor mats. On my truck, I accepted their fixes. Since then, the replacement floor mat has torn and is once again loose and a risk to being stuck in my gas pedal. Of note is that the replacement floor mats were much lower quality (cheap fix) than the original floor mats and had I known this I probably would have asked for the repurchase option. Either way, the existing floor mats are sub-standard and pose as risk which should require replacement with a mat the quality of the original mats or better. I have pictures I'd like to send you that make it abundantly clear.

I was commuting to my home mid-afternoon on interstate hwy 94 when the traffic ahead of me began to slow. As I approached the slowing traffic ahead of me I removed my foot from the acceleration pedal and began to coast to a stop when unexpectedly my truck began to accelerate very quickly. I immediately began to apply the brakes using both feet, my hands gripping the top half of the steering wheel with my shoulders thrust against the back of my seat. I stayed on the brakes the entire time that it took for me to have traveled the 50-60 feet before I hit the vehicle that had now come to a stop. It was only after I collided with the vehicle ahead of me that my truck stopped accelerating. For that entire time I was on the brakes, the tires screeching so loudly that the person in the vehicle that I hit heard them prior to the impact. This incident has shaken me personally and I no longer have any confidence in my truck so I no longer drive it. I have contacted Toyota and they have issued to me a case number for this incident and have sent to me a consent form to allow them to download data from the vehicle's event data recorder as well as to physically inspect the vehicle. I did initially schedule a diagnostic appointment with my local Toyota dealership where I bought the vehicle new but they would not perform any diagnostic work as a result of the vehicle having been in an accident. They gave me the telephone number for Toyota corporate to call. The vehicle that I hit sustained $1,100 worth of damage. What are my options in this matter concerning my vehicle and the damage to the vehicle that I hit.

I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma. I took it to my local Toyota dealer in August to address the recalls needing to be done. They tell me they are backed up trying to get recalls fixed. It is now November and have not been called yet. Now the leaf springs are on recall. I replaced one leaf spring in September 2014 due to it snapping.will I get reimbursed from Toyota for this repair"? I have not heard from my local Toyota dealer as to when they can fix the recalls, they said they will call me when they can get me in. What year will that be? will my second leaf spring snap and puncture the tank before it gets repaired" or will the frame possible rust out and fall on the leaf springs....... I love Toyota Tacoma, disappointed in the follow thru/timeliness on fixing these problems.

On October 2013 I approached a red light (no car in front of me) the road surface was wet and the ABS kicked in. When I applied the brake hard, the engine started to accelerate and I couldn't hold the truck back. I went through the red light avoiding an accident. I called the Toyota dealer and was told that I probably did not press down on the brake hard enough. On January 2014 the same thing occurred. Here again I was fortunate that another vehicle was not in front of me and this time I went through a stop sign. I called the dealer and had it checked out. They found nothing wrong. March 15th it happened again. Once again I was lucky that no vehicle was in front of me, but I now brake way in advance of a light or stop sign because of fear. This time when the engine started to accelerate I got off the brake and went right back on and the engine stopped accelerating. I once again put it in the garage and they found nothing wrong. I think that the unintentional acceleration is triggered when hard pressure is applied to the brakes when the ABS kicks in. I'm not a rookie driver. I've been driving Tacoma for over 30 years. This is my 4th one. After happening three times, it is definitely a problem with the truck. This is a possible serious accident waiting to happen. What can I do to get Toyota to correct this problem? thank you
