This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Accelerator sticks. When depressing accelerator pedal, it sticks without moving. The only way to get it to move is by putting ever increasing pressure on the pedal until it suddenly breaks free and the care lurches forward.
I have a 1996 4runner that was in good condition until September 4, 2009 when it suddenly accelerated out of control, became a runaway vehicle, and struck a gas station building, resulting in severe property damage. I paid $7800 to fix the truck and insurance company paid to fix damages to the gas station. I have police report for the accident and no longer feel safe driving the vehicle since media report of worn/defective gas pedal causing similar accidents. Please advise asap.
