On february 28, 2010, my 1992 toyota 4runner had a repeated accelerator issue. My truck accelerated several times while my foot was off the accelerator. I was stopped at a traffic light when the truck surged forward. I pressed on the brake with both feet and the accelerator continued to race. I watched the tachometer go from 1.1k rpm to 4k rpm without touching the accelerator. This happened over and over again over a 1/2 mile stretch of city blocks (el cajon blvd in san diego, ca). I had to pull over several times because i could not control the speed. It was a very dangerous situation. I removed the placemat and the issue continued. In fact, when i applied pressure on the accelerator, the tachometer went from 4k rpm to 8k rpm in the red zone even though i was barely touching the accelerator. This is the first time this has occurred but it was extremely dangerous as i had to place the truck in neutral when actually riding on the street just to control my speed. My truck has 143k miles and i have never had this issue before. I am worried about my next trip. *tr

Mysterious coolant loss, pressurized system found no external leaks. Watched problem for about a month, kept topping up coolant. Driving home last night sudden loss of power on free way temperature spike, almost caused a major accident getting off freeway. Head gasket failure. Towed. Campaign has been done, toyota dealer will not honor labor or even the part, and it is quite an expensive repair for something that will fail sooner than later. My nissan has over 300,000km on it and never had a problem. Flawed design in head or block. *tr

1992 toyota 4-runner, 3.0 liter, v-6, 4 wd truck in shop for blown head gasket & possible cracked block. I understand this vehicle has a design flaw which causes head gaskets to blow over and over in spite of so-called gasket "fix" by toyota which i had after 50,000 miles. Toyota should make it right to their customers by either fixing the flaw or reimbursing for costs to repair, tow & rent replacement vehicle. *jb

Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle accelerated beyond the driver's effort 8 times and to 4 separate drivers. The first incident occurred on a freeway in 1998. While traveling 50 - 60 mph with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle accelerated to 80 mph. In an attempt to decrease the speed, it was placed into neutral, the brake pedal was depressed and the key was turned to the off position. This normally occurs at speeds of 50-60 mph, however there was one incident on local roads at 35 mph. On several occasions, the vehicle was taken to a service dealer where the throttle plate was cleaned. After each throttle plate cleaning, there was a reoccurrence. On the last visit to the service dealer, the throttle cable was replaced. The vehicle is currently not drivable.
