Toyota floor mat over accelerator- this happened to me! More than once! I discovered what it was the second time it happened. I pulled the emergency brake and put the car in neutral both times. Toyota echo, 2002 . *Tr
Floor mat slippage caused car to get stuck in neutral, once at a high speed on a major interstate highway and once at a downtown intersection. I removed the floor mat on the driver's side and the problem stopped. *Tr
I was driving from florida after a vacation. After approximately 2-3 hours of driving on the highway I noticed that there was a decrease of airflow and coolness from my a/c unit. I shut it off and turned it back on and tried different level of air flow and cooling and no change. I stopped at a gas station and found there to be condensation on a tube under my hood. After stopping for about 10 minutes and then driving without the a/c for 20 minutes I turned the a/c back on and everything was back to normal. *Jb

off very close. When I applied the brakes my torso was thrown forward by the sudden deceleration (with safety belts on) and naturally the force was transmitted to the steering wheel through my hands, which caused the steering wheel to turn to the left and the car to of course swerve to the left unintended. Fortunately the left lane was vacant at that time, otherwise I would have collided with a vehicle that might have been alongside to the left. Consequently I was alert to this and had no further incidents while awaiting parts to arrive and be installed by toyota of fort worth. The replacement parts are the exact same as original parts, so in about 2-3 years they will again break.*Ak

and the truck began to jump very badly like the car is going to blow up,the heat only works when you set it at 80 degrees or higher so you can only leave it on for so long then you must turn it off and when it gets cold again you half to turn it on again this goes on all day long.I can't sem to get any one from toyota to help me with there default, my wife won't even drive the car.So when I took it to a nother dealer to see if this was really the problem he told me that the system was really blowen.Sirs I work very hard for my money and I don't have a lot of it to give away,ireally don't appriciate a prestegious company such as toyota to pray on on it's consumer. When the vehical was checked to see if there was a recall at my request there was what you call a bulliten on this problem,i then asked if you know that this problem enough why isn't there a recall I really don think that I the consumer should half to foot a $2000 billl on something that was not my fault I am very sorry that I picked a toyota sequoia this is not a cheap vehical if you can help me and my family please do so.Thank you in advance. *Ak
