2006 Toyota Tacoma complaints

SUDDEN ACCELERATION FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THIS VEHICLE. DRIVING ON A MOUNTAINOUS ROAD ABOUT 30 MPH. TRUCK MOVED TO THE SIDE GOING UP AN INCLINE FOR MY HUSBAND TO PASS HIM. HE ACCELERATED AND THE GAS PEDAL "STUCK". APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH NO DISENGAGING OF THE GAS PEDAL. TURNED THE KEY OFF AND ON SO AS NOT TO LOSE THE POWER STEERING. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN WE WERE ON A STRAIGHTAWAY, HE TURNED THE KEY OFF AND FINALLY THE GAS PEDAL DISENGAGED. TWO TIMES PREVIOUSLY TOYOTA HAS REPLACED THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS NOT A CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE. THIS IS A GAS PEDAL ISSUE. I WAS TOLD PREVIOUSLY THE MAT WAS UNDER THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS HARDLY THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKES WERE AGAIN RED HOT WHEN MY HUSBAND TRIED TO STOP THE TRUCK. WE WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH TOYOTA AGAIN THIS A.M. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP AND NEEDS TO BE PUT DOWN! *NM SEE ALSO ODI 10158925 AND 10149327 *DSY

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE BRAKING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. UPDATED 12/01/06. *JB

AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES UPON APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN IN A NORMAL MANNER, EVEN WHEN I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE. I PUT THE GEAR SELECTOR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKES STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE, HOWEVER, SPED UP FOR ANOTHER FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT SUDDENLY DROPPED TO IDLE SPEED. I HAVE NOT YET HAD A RECURRENCE OF THIS DANGEROUS INCIDENT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ACCELERATING IN 1ST GEAR AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON 9 OCCASIONS. AT OTHER TIMES, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THERE WAS A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING OCCURRED THAT BECAME CONSTANT AS THE PROBLEM WORSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH ANOTHER SERVICE DEALER. THE FUEL WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ACTIVATED AT THE PROPER VOLUME OF FUEL. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER THE CARPETING WAS REPLACED DUE TO WATER LEAKING THROUGH THE FIREWALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE TRUCK STALLED. UPDATED 12/18/06. *JB

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA X-RUNNER THAT HAS BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE050A TIRES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN READING SOME FORUMS AND TALKED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER LATELY AND I AM UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN CRACKING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TIRES ARE GETTING REPLACED BY FIRESTONE DEALERS UNDER A DEFECT WARRANTY. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN DIRECTED TO CALL AN 800 NUMBER ON THE ISSUE (WHICH I CALLED) AND THEY ACTED/SAID THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE AND TOLD ME TO GO TO A BIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE DEALER. I WENT TO A DEALER IN TOWN AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO A FIRESTONE RETAILER. I'VE BEEN GOING ON THIS BIG RUN AROUND NOW FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF CONTROVERSY ON THIS ISSUE AND I AM CONTACTING YOU TO TRY TO GET HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF SOLVING THIS ISSUE. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS AND/OR DO YOU KNOW THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT 20 MPH ON A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE RESULTING IN A REAR IMPACT CRASH. THE CONTACT WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT, AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE TO FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE POLICE WAS NOTIFIED, AND A REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE FLOOR MAT HAD SLIPPED OUT OF THE FLOORBOARD RETAINER CLIP AND TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK THE DRIVER OF UNIT 2 COMPLAINED OF BACK PAIN. UPDATED 11/03/06. *JB

THE 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CRUISE CONTROL IS VERY ERRATIC IN OPERATION, SOMETIMES SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTING 2 GEARS AND ACCELERATING QUITE VIOLENTLY WHEN CLIMBING A GRADE. VERY STARTLING WHEN IT HAPPENS AND COULD REALLY BE DANGEROUS IF THE ROAD IS WET & SLICK WITH RAIN OR SNOW. I'VE OWNED PROBABLY 20 CARS AND TRUCKS IN MY 43 YEARS OF DRIVING AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE IT. THIS IS A WELL DISCUSSED TOPIC ON FORUMS DEDICATED TO TOYOTA TACOMA PICKUP TRUCKS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. *JB

CRUISE CONTROL VERY ERRATIC, WILL ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE VIOLENTLY AT TIMES. ESPECIALLY ON UNEVEN TERRAIN. *JB

ENGINE TICK IS HORRIBLE FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT TOYOTA IS SELLING AS A QUALITY PRODUCT. *NM

ERRATIC, SOMETIMES DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION SHIFTING WHILE USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. *NM

I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A TICKING NOISE FROM THE V6 MOTOR. I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER TWICE AND EVEN DROVE A NEW TACOMA FROM THE LOT. I'VE NOTICED A SOUND FROM ALL OF THE TACOMA'S. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A NORMAL THING FOR THE TACOMA'S, BUT IT'S VERY IRRITATING. *JB

APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL AS I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT AND COULD NOT STOP, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO REAR END A STOPPED VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE ALSO PICKED UP ACCELERATION WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE A SECOND TIME. I HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF IN ORDER TO STOP IT FROM CLIMBING UP THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. POLICE OFFICER AT THE SCENE VERIFIED THIS OBSERVATION AFTERWARD INDICATING A MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND NOTED SAME ON THE POLICE REPORT. MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED LESS THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE THIS ACCIDENT, TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND REMAINS THERE AWAITING AN INSPECTION BY THE MANUFACTURER. *JB

FRONT SUSPENSION INSTABILITY, I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES TWO TIMES, AND HAVE REPLACED THE OEM SHOCKS FOR THE BILSTEIN "OEM TRD" BUT THE VEHICLE BEHAVES LIKE THE FRONT SWAY BAR OR THE RACK & PININION ARE LOOSE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER COUNTLESS TIMES BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO NOTICE THE NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION OR ANYTHING WRONG. IT IS MY PERCEPTION THAT A DESIGN FLAW OR A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION OR RACK & PINION HAVE TO BE CAUSING ALL OF THE INSTABILITY. I REALLY CONSIDER THIS VEHICLE VERY UNSAFE AND HOPE TO FIND THE PROBLEM WITHIM THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS OR I WILL REPLACE IT FOR A TUNDRA. *JB

THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT TO AN EARLIER COMPLAINT, ODI #10161327. THERE IS A WHINE IN THE DRIVE TRAIN AT 53 TO 63 MPH. ABOVE OR BELOW THAT SPEED RANGE THERE IS NO WHINE. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THERE IS A WHINE, BUT SAYS ALL REGULAR CAB TACOMAS WITH A MANUAL 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAVE THAT WHINE AND THAT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. (THEY DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT!) OTHER TACOMA MODELS (WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS) DO NOT WHINE, ONLY THOSE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, ACCORDING TO THIS DEALER. IF THIS IS TRUE, THERE MUST BE A DEFECT SOMEWHERE IN THE DRIVE TRAIN. I THINK THEY ARE STONEWALLING ME AND FEEDING ME A BUNCH OF BULL. THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT IF I WANT A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, I MUST TALK TO SOMEONE AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL. SO FAR, I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND OUT HOW TO REACH THEM. I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT. WOE IS ME! I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH NISSAN. *NM

SINCE DAY ONE I HEARD THIS TICKING NOISE, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. THEY TEST DROVE IT AND HEARD THE NOISE, THEN THEY DROVE A NEW ONE OFF THE LOT AND SAID IT MADE THE SAME NOISE, SO THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL. AFTER THE 3RD TIME BRINGING IT BACK FOR THE TICKING NOISE THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE INJECTORS OR THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATION AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TICKING AND THEY HAD SOMEBODY FROM THE DEALERSHIP CALL ME UP AND TAKE HIM FOR A TEST DRIVE AND HE DID NOT HEAR THE NOISE HE TOLD ME I MUST HAVE ESPECIALLY GOOD HEARING AT THAT FREQUENCY. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP! *JB

THERE IS A WHINE IN THE RUNNING GEAR AT 53 TO 63 MILES PER HOUR. ABOVE OR BELOW THAT SPEED RANGE THERE IS NO WHINE. *JB

TRUCK HAD 0 MILES AND FROM DAY 1 I HAVE HEARD A TAPPING SOUND(ROCKER ARM LOOSE)COMPLAINED WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS INJECTOR NOISE. I SAID WELL THAT INJECTOR MUST BE BAD CHANGE IT WAS TOLD ALL TOYOTA'S MAKE THAT NOISE. THIS WAS A LIE I HAVE HAD IT BACK 5X AND I KNOW I COULD FIX IT IN 10 MIN BY ADJUSTING VALVE LASH. I DO NOT WANT TO VOID THE WARRANTY HAHAHAAHAHAH SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT BURN OUT THE VALVE AND IT WILL WAIT FOR THE RECALL AHAHAHAHAHA. THE GUY WITH THE CLUNK MY TRUCK DON'T CLUNK IT TAPS. THE CLUNK IS A BAD U JOINT I HOPE FOR YOUR SAKE. IF THIS TRUCK LASTS THE 4 YEARS IT TAKES ME TO PAY IT OFF. I WILL GET RID OF IT AND GO BACK TO NISSAN. *NM

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH 2700 MILES, UPON SEEING (2) OF MY TIRES WITH LARGE BULGES ON THE EXTERIOR SIDEWALLS I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THAT THE DEFECTIVE TIRES BE REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING CONCERNING MY TIRES. UPON TAKING MY TRUCK TO A FIRESTONE DEALER(THE TIRES IN QUESTION ARE FIRESTONE) I WAS TOLD BY FIRESTONE MANAGEMENT THAT THESE TIRES WHERE OBVIOUSLY DAMAGED BY IMPROPER INSTALLATION. UPON TEARING THE TIRE DOWN THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE LARGE CUTS IN THE BEADS. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP THEY STILL REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. THESE TIRES AND TRUCK ARE THE SUBJECT OF A TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 06V-061).THE RECALL STATES THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL TRUCK WITHOUT INSPECTING FIRST, THIS WAS NOT DONE. IT STATES THAT TOYOTA WOULD CONTACT OWNERS, THIS WAS NOT DONE. IT STATES THAT UPON RETURNING SAID TRUCK THAT ALL TIRES WOULD BE REMOVED AND INSPECTED, BAD TIRES WOULD BE REPLACED @ TOYOTAS EXPENSE,NON OF THIS WAS DONE. INSTEAD I WAS ACCUSED OF DAMAGING THE TIRES BY HITTING CURBS YET FIRESTONE AND GOODYEAR CANNOT FIND ANY SUCH EVIDENCE (BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED AND DOES NOT EXIST). THE SERVICE MANAGER THEN OFFERED TO WORK WITH ME ON REPLACEMENT TIRES.(THERE GOING TO SELL ME REPLACEMENT TIRES? DAMAGED BY TOYOTA???) I WAS ALSO TOLD OVER THE PHONE BY TOYOTA THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM THAT I COULD NOT CLAIM THIS TRUCK WAS A LEMON, IT WAS A DEALERSHIP

SECOND OCCURRENCE: MAY 26, 2006 MERGING ONTO MAIN HIGHWAY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. ACCELERATED AND GAS PEDAL STUCK. TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, COULD NOT DISENGAGE PEDAL. BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALSO LOCKED AND COULD NOT DEPRESS IT. AFTER NUMEROUS TRIES, BRAKE PEDAL FINALLY ENGAGED AND GAS PEDAL DISENGAGED. CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY ARE REPLACING THE NON-FACTORY INSTALLED CRUISE CONTROL. ONE WEEK PRIOR TO INCIDENT, THEY REPLACED COMPUTER SYSTEM, SOMETHING IN THE GAS PEDAL ITSELF AND THE CRUISE CONTROL COMPUTER. *JB

2006 TOYOTA TACOMA 4DR, CREW CAB........SUN VISORS FAIL TO REMAIN IN PLACE WHEN PUT IN THE SUN-BLOCKING POSITION....DRIVER(SELF) UNABLE TO SEE IF PLACED IN WORKING POSITION.......TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, NO REPAIR DONE, STATING THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM AND TOYOTA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR PERMANENT FIXTURE/SOLUTION. *JB

1) VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED AND DELIVERED WITH THIS DEFECT. ACCELERATOR STICKS WHEN TRAVELING OVER 50 MPH. 2) NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED YET. THE FAULT WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN TOWING A TRAILER ON THE THRUWAY. COMING UP ON A SLOWER VEHICLE, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR EXPECTING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW. THE VEHICLE KEPT ON AT THE SAME SPEED AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. I HAD TO APPLY BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CLOCKED THE ACCELERATOR STICKING BETWEEN 5 TO 20 SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE RPM'S BEGIN TO DROP. 3) TOYOTA REFUSES TO MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS AS THEIR FACTORY REP SAYS THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES ON THIS DEFECT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL LETTER ONE MONTH AGO CONCERNING THE TIRES: BEAD ON THE VEHICLE, THE DEALERSHIP DISMOUNTED AND INSPECTED EACH TIRE. AFTERWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP REBALANCED THE TIRES TWICE. THE CONTACT STATES THE VEHICLE WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE RECALL. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID# IS: 06V061000; TIRES/BEAD.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED A RECALL LETTER WAS RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL, #06V061000 ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE TIRES: BEAD. THE TIRES NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THE TIRES ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE LETTER STATES THE TIRES WOULD BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NEEDED HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER EXPLAINED TO THE CONTACT THEY WILL NOT INSPECT THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. UPDATED 05/16/06

MY 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA MAKES A LOUD CLANKING NOISE UPON TAKEOFF. THE NOISE COMES FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE TACOMA. IF TRUE, THIS IS NOT GOOD NEWS. *NM

PASSENGER AIR BAG INTERMITTENTLY SHOWS OFF WHEN PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE THROTTLE STICKS. AFTER THE THROTTLE STICKS, THE RPM'S RANGE HIGH AND DO NOT DECREASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. ALTHOUGH, THE DEALER KNEW THE PROBLEM PERSISTED WITH THE SPEED CONTROL AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REMEDIED BY THE DEALER. UPDATED 03/28/06. *JB

ENGINE RPM HANGS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 5TH GEAR,CLUTCH HAS LONG DELAY TO ENGAGEMENT IN SUB-ZERO TEMP. DEALER SAYS THESE ARE NORMAL. *JB

BRAKES FAILED CAUSING A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *JB

OUR COMPANY ALWAYS BUYS TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCKS. RECENTLY WE PURCHASE TWO 2006. WE'VE HAD TWO FLATS IN THE REAR WHERE THE SEALER JUST CAME OFF. TIRE# P 215/70R15 FIRESTONE DESTINATION LE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS. WE DECIDED TO INSTALL NEW COOPER TIRES AND BE DONE WITH IT. WE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE WHILE DRIVING THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I STILL WILL BUY TOYOTA BUT IN THE FUTURE WILL ASK FOR BETTER TIRES. *NM

CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 67 MPH, TRAVELING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE OF HIGHWAY. CAR IN FRONT SLOWED DOWN AND I MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE AS ANOTHER CAR WAS TAILGATING ME. STEPPED ON THE GAS WHEN THE CAR I WAS TRYING TO GET BY ACCELERATED. TRUCK ACCELERATED RAPIDLY TO 75-90 MPH, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO RELEASE CRUISE CONTROL BUT TRUCK CONTINUED ACCELERATION. IN FRONT OF TRUCK WAS SEMI, I HIT THE BRAKES TO CONTROL SPEED, BRAKES DID NOT WORK AS AUTOMATIC BRAKES BUT LIKE OLD BRAKES, PUT BOTH FEET ON BRAKES BUT TRUCK DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND CONTINUED AT 55 TO 65 MPH. WENT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, PUT ON FLASHERS. BRAKES WERE SMELLING AT THIS POINT. PUT TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL AND TRUCK CONTINUED MOVING FORWARD AT EXCESSIVE SPEED. PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND CONTINUED TO EXIT RAMP WHICH WAS VERY LONG. FINALLY GOT OFF HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. TRUCK SMELLED BADLY FROM THE BRAKES. WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES, CALLED SON WHO CALLED TOYOTA. I CAREFULLY PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND CRUISED INTO A GAS STATION, TURNED TRUCK OFF, EXITED VEHICLE. SON CALLED BACK AND SAID TOYOTA SAID "DO NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK". THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO PICK IT UP. SON AND PARTNER GOT TO VEHICLE AND THE HUB CAPS WERE BURNING HOT FROM BRAKES BEING APPLIED. TOYOTA DROVE VEHICLE FOR 111 MILES AND CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT AND FOUND NOTHING. I CALLED TOYOTA AND HAVE STARTED ARBITRATION FOR THEM TO BUY BACK MY BRAND NEW TRUCK. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING THE IDLE WAS HIGH. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY ONE TO ONE AND A HALF MILES OF DRIVING FOR THE IDLE TO RETURN TO NORMAL. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK. WHEN SHIFTING FROM FOURTH GEAR TO FIFTH WITHOUT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. SHE STATED THAT FOURTH GEAR COULD NOT BE USED. THE VEHICLE MUST BE SHIFTED FROM THIRD GEAR TO FIFTH GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, AND THEY STATED THE COMPUTER WAS LEARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND THEY AGREED WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEREFORE, NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE . *AK UPDATED 01/25/06
