“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…”

“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.”
