THE AMOUNT OF ADHESIVE AGENT APPLIED BETWEEN THE OUTER RING AND THE TORSIONAL RUBBER DAMPER (INNER RING) IN THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY MAY BE INADEQUATE. IF THE ADHESIVE IS INSUFFICIENT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE OUTER RING MAY BECOME MISALIGNED AND IT MAY NOT PROPERLY ROTATE WITH THE INNER RING, CAUSING NOISE AND/OR ILLUMINATION OF THE BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT.
IN SOME CASES, THE BELT FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP MAY BECOME DETACHED FROM THE PULLEY WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND A SUDDEN INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL CHECK THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY TO IDENTIFY WHETHER IT WAS PRODUCED BY THE U.S. SUPPLIER. IF SO, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PULLEY WITH A NEW ONE AT NO CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING EARLY JANUARY 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 HIGHLANDER, HIGHLANDER HYBRID, AND MODEL YEAR 2004-2007 LEXUS RX330, RX350, AND RX400H VEHICLES. IF THE FORWARD RETENTION CLIP USED TO SECURE THE FLOOR CARPET COVER, WHICH IS LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE CENTER CONSOLE, IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY THE COVER MAY LEAN TOWARD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND INTERFERE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARM.
IF THIS OCCURS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY TEMPORARILY BECOME STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION RATHER THAN RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION. A STUCK ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN UNINTENDED AND SUSTAINED VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FLOOR CARPET COVER WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED ONE FREE OR CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MARCH 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

Vehicle speed control, Feb 5, 2010
UNDER A SPECIFIC SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, THE CRUISE CONTROL CAUSES THE CAR TO SURGE PAST THE SET CRUISE SPEED. I'VE NEVER LET THE SURGE GET PAST 10 MPH ABOVE THE SET CRUISE SPEED, I ALWAYS TURN OFF THE CRUISE WHICH CANCELS THE SURGE. I CANNOT FORCE THE REPLICATION OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES OVER THE LIFE OF THE CAR. THE CIRCUMSTANCES I CAN IDENTIFY ARE THE CRUISE IS SET ON A SPECIFIC SPEED (LIKE 60 MPH), THE CRUISE IS DISENGAGED TO SLOW DOWN (WELL BELOW 60 MPH), USING THE GAS PEDAL TO SPEED UP ON A LONG UPHILL GRADE, ENGAGE THE CRUISE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE SET SPEED (60 MPH) AND THE CRUISE BLOWS PAST 60 MPH. IN THE SECONDS IT TAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, I'VE REACHED 70 MPH. *TR

ABRUPT ACCELERATION OCCURRED TWICE FOR NO REASON-CAR DOES NOT HAVE FLOOR MATS THAT COULD INTERFERE WITH THE ACCELERATOR, FIRST OCCURRANCE IN 2006 WAS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, BRAKING SOLVED THE PROBLEM SECOND OCCURANCE IN 2008- CAR WAS MOVING AT IDLE SPEED-FOOT WAS NOT OR NEAR THE ACCELERATOR BUT ABOVE BUT NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE. BRAKING SOLVED THE PROBLEM. INFORMED TOYOTA DEALER-THEY WERE CLUELESS AND HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF A PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER AND WAS TRYING TO PARK IN FRONT OF MY HOME BETWEEN TWO CARS WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE. I AM NOT 100% SURE WHAT HAPPENED, WHETHER I ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR OR THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION OF SOME KIND. I HAD TO MAKE A 90 DEGREE LEFT TURN BETWEEN TWO OTHER PARKED CARS, SO I AM SURE I WAS NOT DRIVING FAST AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. *TR

MY TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 2005 WILL ACCELERATE BY ITSELF WHEN I START OUT AT A LIGHT MAKING IT REV THE ENGINE EXCESSIVELY. THIS HAPPENED ALOT WHEN I GOT THE CAR UNTIL LAST FALL I GOT FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED AND ALL CARBON REMOVED FROM LINES. IT WENT AWAY AFTER I GOT CARBON CLEANED OUT AND NOW IT HAS RECENTLY STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. IT SOMETIMES MAKES MY FRONT TIRES SQUEAL. I HAVE ASKED THE JOE MEYERS TOYOTA IN HOUSTON, TX. ABOUT IT AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I NEVER BROUGHT IT UP WITH THEM AGAIN. I NEED TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS ANY FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM ASAP SINCE THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES WITH THIS BEING WORSE AND CAUSING DEATHS. NOTE: AFTER BUYING THE CAR IN JAN 06 THE FLOOR MATS CONSTANTLY PUSHED FORWARD UPTO PEDALS SO I GOT MY HUSBAND TO USE A GROMMET ON THEM TO MAKE HOLES AND ATTACH VIA CLIPS FROM JOE MEYERS TOYOTA. NOW THEY DON'T MOVE. THIS WAS NEVER THE CAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION. IT WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE - PEDAL WAS NOT STUCK. *TR

Power train, Vehicle speed control, Jul 4, 2006, crash
UNEXPLAINED VEHICLE ACCELERATION WITH INABILITY TO STOP BEFORE HITTING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. PULLED OFF OF ROAD BEHIND TRUCK TO PARK. LIFTED FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL TO PUT ON BRAKE SO AS TO PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK. THERE WAS THEN AN EXTREME VEHICLE ACCELERATION WHICH WAS UNCONTROLLABLE WITH BRAKE. SLAMMED INTO TRUCK. TOYOTA CORP CLAIMS NO ERRORS LOGGED IN COMPUTER SYSTEM, AND THAT IF FOOT WOULD HAVE BEEN ON BRAKE PEDAL, THE FILAMENT WOULD HAVE BROKEN. I CAN'T BE CERTAIN THE BRAKING HAPPENED BEFORE THE ACCIDENT-IT WAS VERY FAST. I AM CERTAIN FOOT WAS ON BRAKE AND NOT ON GAS!! THERE HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS DENIAL OF A PETITION TO INVESTIGATE NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS IDENTICAL SITUATION WITH OTHER TOYOTA'S-(NHTSA ACTION # DP05002). NHTSA PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS!! THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING-DO SOMETHING BEFORE THERE ARE DEATHS! IS TOYOTA IMMUNE FROM SAFETY RECALLS? I'M SORRY YOU COULDN'T FIND EVIDENCE OF A DEFECT, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG. SEVERE HESITATION, SUDDEN ACCELERATION=POSSIBLE DEATHS. I'VE RECEIVED MY REPAIRED VEHICLE, AND WHEN I WENT TO TRADE IT IN, I WAS OFFERED THOUSANDS LESS THAN TRADE IN IS SUPPOSED TO BE! IF TOYOTA REALLY BELIEVES THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THEIR CAR, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? AGAIN THEY'RE NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE! *NM
Vehicle speed control, Jun 14, 2006, crash
I DROVE UP HILL, SLOWED, TURNED, AND PULLED BEHIND TRUCK TO PARK OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS ALSO UPHILL. THE CAR WAS STOPPED, I WENT TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SHIFT INTO PARK, AND THE CAR FOR SOME REASON ACCELERATED WILDLY (LOUD ROARING OF ENGINE). IT THEN LURCHED FORWARD VERY FAST AND SLAMMED INTO THE TRUCK THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD NO POWER TO STOP IT. THIS INCIDENT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST WITH THIS VEHICLE WITH SEVERE HESITATION. I HAVE ALSO HAD A HESITATION, FOLLOWED BY EXTREME ACCELERATION. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT PREVIOUSLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CHILD I HIT INSTEAD OF A TRUCK!. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THIS IS A SPORADIC OCCURRENCE, BUT IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AT ALL. *NM
Vehicle speed control, Sep 26, 2005
I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER LIMITED W/V6 ENGINE. WHEN I ACCELERATE AT LOW SPEEDS, THEN TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THERE IS A PROLONGED HESITATION BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ACCELERATE. THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS WHEN YOU MAKE A TURN AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE OTHER DAY I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT ONTO A WELL TRAVELED ROAD. I MOVED OUT INTO THE FIRST LANE AND THEN TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE NEXT LANE WAS CLEAR. I SAW THERE WERE CARS COMING AROUND THE CURVE TOWARDS ME IN BOTH LANES. I HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR HESITATED. THEN FINALLY IT STARTED TO MOVE. I BARELY MISSED BEING BROADSIDED. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT VEHICLES. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOYOTA AND THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THIS IS ANYTHING BUT NORMAL AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *NM

DT: 2005 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER V6- THE CONSUMER DROVE OFF THE LOT ON JUNE 3, 2005; THE CRUISE CONTROL BEHAVED ERRATICALLY AND IT OFTEN FELT AS IF IT WAS ACCELERATING A COUPLE OF MILES BEHIND THE DESIRED SPEED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO PASS THIS TURKEY WHICH YIELDED DIFFERENT RESULTS. THERE IS SOMETIMES AWKWARD DOWN SHIFTING AND RAPID ACCELERATION WHICH IS PRECEDED BY HESITATION. THE CONSUMER APPROACHED A VILLAGE INTERSECTION, DOWNHILL WITH HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CONSUMER TOOK HIS FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO DESIRED STREET. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO APPLY A BIT OF GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO APPLY A BIT MORE GAS AND AGAIN NOTHING HAPPENED. THE THIRD TIME THE CONSUMER ADDED A BIT MORE GAS AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TOO FAST CAUSING THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S HEADS TO TIP BACK. THIS WAS A NARROW MAIN STREET IN A MAIN VILLAGE. THERE WERE LOTS OF POSSIBLE TARGETS, CARS/ KIDS BIKES, AND OTHERS. THEN THERE WAS THE UNANTICIPATED DOWN SHIFTING FOR BRAKING EFFECT THAT TIPPED HEADS FORWARD, BUT THAT WAS ANOTHER STORY FOR ANOTHER DAY, AND NOT QUITE AS ANNOYING OR NEARLY OF THE SAME CONCERN. THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER FIRST ASSERTED THAT THERE WERE NO ADJUSTMENTS ACCESSIBLE FOR THE MECHANICS. INABILITY TO DO SOMETHING. AFTER APPLYING MORE GAS AND VEHICLE HESITATION CONSUMER SEARCHED FOR A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) AND FOUND NONE. BUT FOUND ONE FROM JUNE 3, 2005 THAT RELATED TO RECALIBRATING OF THE TRANSMISSION. ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF EXPRESSIONS OF CONCERN OR EARLIER TSBS. *AK *MR
