I PREVIOUSLY FILED ODI COMPLAINT 10282779 TO REPORT TO TWO INSTANCES WHERE MY TACOMA ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AT A TIME WHEN I HAD ABOUT 17,000 MI. ON THE VEHICLE. THEREAFTER I TRIED TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGED PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF THE SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION WAS THAT I ACQUIRED A BLACKBERRY CURVE TO REPLACE MY PREVIOUS CELL PHONE. MY OLD CELL PHONE WAS SMALLER, SO WHILE DRIVING I USUALLY KEPT IT IN THE SLOT NEXT TO MY GEAR SHIFTER. MY BLACKBERRY WAS MUCH BIGGER AND DIDN'T FIT IN THE SLOT. THEREFORE I PUT IT IN THE CUP HOLDER UNDERNEATH MY DASHBOARD. IT WAS THEN THAT I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. SUBSEQUENTLY, I STARTED CARRYING MY BLACKBERRY EITHER IN MY BACKPACK ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OR IN THE SLOT WHERE I USED TO KEEP MY SMALLER CELL PHONE AND I NO LONGER CHARGE THE BLACKBERRY USING THE CHARGER THAT PLUGS INTO MY LIGHTER SOCKET IN MY DASHBOARD. WITH ONE EXCEPTION (WHICH I SHALL DESCRIBE) THIS HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM OVER THE 9,000 MI. SINCE IT BEGAN. ON 10/21/2009, I WAS DRIVING MY TACOMA AT A TIME WHEN I NEEDED TO CHARGE MY BLACKBERRY. I PLUGGED MY BLACKBERRY INTO THE CAR CHARGER AND PLACED THE BLACKBERRY IN MY BACKPACK ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. WITHIN 10 MILES MY TACOMA STARTED ACCELERATING UNCONTROLLABLY. I SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO A LOWER GEAR AND UNPLUGGED MY PHONE FROM THE CHARGER, BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE WHEN IT STARTED TO REDLINE, AND STEERED THE VEHICLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER I STOPPED, I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE AGAIN STARTED TO REDLINE. I LET IT REST A COUPLE OF MINUTES, AND IT STARTED NORMALLY AND I DROVE OFF. I NO LONGER CHARGE MY BLACKBERRY WITH THE LIGHTER CHARGER AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY SUBSEQUENT PROBLEMS. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT MY BLACKBERRY'S ELECTROMAGNETIC FREQUENCIES INTERFERE WITH MY TACOMA'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN THE PHONE IS EITHER TOO NEAR THE DASH OR PLUGGED INTO THE CAR CHARGER. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN I FELT THE BRAKE "GIVE" AND THEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. NO AMOUNT OF PUSHING ON THE BRAKE WOULD STOP THE ENGINE.

MY ACCELERATOR STUCK TWO DIFFERENT TIMES DURING A RECENT DRIVE TO WORK. THOUGH I BELIEVE IT WAS DUE TO THE FLOOR MAT PROBLEM THAT HAS PROMPTED THE RECENT RECALL, MY ATTEMPT TO GET ANSWERS FROM THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PROMPTED A RESPONSE THAT TOYOTA HADN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX IT YET AND THEY WERE DRILLING HOLES IN THE BACK OF THE MAT AND USING ZIP TIES TO SECURE THE MAT TO THE FRONT OF THE SEAT FRAME. THAT WAS NOT HOW I WANTED IF FIXED. ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT TOYOTA OF AMERICA RESULTED IN LOTS OF RECORDED MESSAGES AND NOTHING MORE. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY OFFICIAL RECALL NOTICE, BUT, HAVING HAD THE TWO FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES, I FEEL THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MANUFACTURER. AND IT NEEDS TO BE MORE THAN INSTRUCTIONS TO REMOVE THE MAT. *TR
