“"I AM REQUESTING THAT DOT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE DRIVER'S CONTRIBUTION TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION (UA) AND TOYOTA'S ACCELERATOR/BRAKE PEDAL DESIGNS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE. I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA 4 RUNNER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET OF MY COMMUNITY. MY SPEED WAS LESS THAN 30MPH AND IT ACCELERATED SUDDENLY. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO GAIN SPEED. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE AND IT ACCELERATED. THE HARDER I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR, THE FASTER IT WENT. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE FOR A MOMENT AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. IT ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP SO I PULLED THE CAR FROM THE STREET TO THE CURB COVERED BY GRASS. IT SLOWED DOWN TO SOME EXTENT AND THEN I INTENTIONALLY TO A TURN AND HIT THE MEDIAN CURB & TREE TO STOP THE CAR. I HAVE CONTINUED TO INVESTIGATE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND HAVE COLLECTED PARTIAL INFORMATION.... PLEASE FORMALLY INVESTIGATE."”

“I PURCHASED MY 2007 4RUNNER AND FOUND A-LOT OF RUST ON THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY FAVORITE VEHICLE. IT SPREADS EVERYWHERE; INCLUDING THE ENGINE BAY. NOT ONLY DOES IT COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE BUT IT SHORTENS THE LIFE ALSO. I WANTED TO BUY A NEW 4RUNNER THIS YEAR BUT AFTER LEARNING OF THE RUST ISSUES I THOUGHT TWICE.”
