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.
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).
