Many things are happening to my truck that's why I am contacting you people to see if I got any callback thank you so much

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 toyota mr2 spyder. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without the accelerator pedal being depressed. The contact mentioned that the vehicle spun out of control and crashed into a curb. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

2003 Toyota mr2 spyder 6-speed transmission/ shifting malfunction - while at traffic light, the car jerked forcefully forward when attempting to proceed from stopped position, then turned itself off. The car became incapable of shifting and had to be towed. Ecu was replaced. Similar problems resurfaced. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 toyota mr2. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed oil at an alarming rate. The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure and current mileage was 122,000.

The design of the computer controlled power train makes throttle, transmission and starter inter-dependent. My vehicle has repeatedly lost power and coasted to a stop. The vehicle has been recently inspected by a toyota dealer, who says there's nothing wrong with it. But the vehicle operator's manual anticipates stalling while underway and gives directions to re-start - sometimes successful, sometimes not and the vehicle has to be towed, in my experience. Manual directions (page 153): if your engine stalls...

Purchased used from carmax and within 100 miles the transmission light came on, it would not shift out of first gear. I had it delivered to have the vehicle looked at, and it refused to go into reverse gear next. When they attempted to drive it only 1 st and 2nd gear would work. After having a brand new transmission installed from toyota by aamco transmission as soon as the vehicle made it back to the car dealer, it started leaking fluids all over the lot. The transmission solenoid had quit working and starting spraying hot fluids all over the vehicle. It has been towed back for followup repairs and they are considering refunding due to excessive vehicle damage. *Tr

Similar to the hundreds of other early affected 1zz engines (mr2, corolla, matrix, vibe and others) my engine is currently burning 1 quart every 400 miles. My mechanic has noted that it is due to piston rings or the off shaped bore in earlier 1zz engines. So the engine is burning oil and my head is also being starved for much needed oil. I am now jeopardizing the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter which were just replaced. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota mr2 spyder. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a clutch replacement when he was advised that the transmission would also need replacing. Both were replaced however, when the contact drove the vehicle off the dealer's lot, the engine seized. The engine was replaced by a different dealer. The vehicle began to become stuck in certain gears and would stall sporadically. The transmission warning light was illuminated since the date the transmission was...

2000-02 TOYOTA MR2 SPYDER, ENGINE BURN TOO MUCH OIL. *TR

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota mr2. While driving at 55mph the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle started to loose power and would not accelerate over 30mph. The vehicle was taken to the garage. The diagnostic testing located the failure at the catalytic coverter, which had blockage causing the sensors to fail. The estimated cost to replace the catalytic converter and sensors was $3,800.00. The manufacturer took a report 1004210579;and stated the vehicle is out of warranty therefore they will not assist with the repair. The vehicle will be repaired. The failure mileage was 118,000.

I was driving at approximately 30 mph when suddenly the throttle went wide open and the tachometer went to maximum rpms. I depressed the clutch while the engine continued to rev at maximum rpms for approximately 45 seconds. I was startled and did not have the presence of mind to turn the ignition switch to the accessory position. Eventually the revving subsided from maximum but continued to surge until I finally parked the car and shut the engine off. Upon restarting the engine the operation was normal however there was a loud knocking noise and the result of this malfunction was engine damage that required rebuilding the engine. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 toyota camry. The contact heard a loud ticking and rattling noise coming from under the hood when the vehicle was started. She immediately took the vehicle to a dealer and they performed a diagnostic test. The test indicated that the intake manifold was separating from the inside. The dealer stated that the vehicle had too many miles to be covered under warranty. The vehicle has not been repaired. The vin was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 62,000.

In june of 2006 I heard a ticking noise in the engine of my 2000 mr2 spyder. When I brought t to the dealership they told my I had spun a bearing due to oil starvation, even though I had my oil changed every 3000 miles. The dealership replaced the bearings and crank and the noise was gone. 2 Months later, after driving 4000 miles and having the oil changed after 2500, the ticking noise returned. The dealership again stated that I had a spun bearing due to oil starvation. When investigated further the tech said...

I bought a toyota saquoia limited 4x4 used in 2003. When I tookit to a friends house her husband siad I should get that ticking noise checked out. I told him that all of the suv's at the dealership made the ticking noise. Well, he was right. When I took it in to be inspected I was told that I had a cracked manifold. The mechanic said that all of the toyota suv's and trucks have problems with their manifolds. If this is true, why have they not done a recall to correct the problem? I manifold is not a cheap part to replace.

While driving catalytic converter broke off into pieces. Dealer replaced catalytic converter. *Ak
