Unintended accelerator: The latest occurrence of this issue has resulted in the 4th time I have reported it to the dealer and taken it in for investigation of the issue. Three (3) times in 2020 [January, May and September] I took the vehicle to the Toyota dealer in Simi Valley California and each time they advised that they found nothing. I stressed to them that I was concerned about the possibility of having an accident and that I would not allow anyone else but me to operate the vehicle. Overall, this event has occurred about 6-7 times. Normally, I'm in the vehicle alone but in April of 2022, I had my wife and grandson in the car when it happened again. As before, I was able to to put the car into neutral and hit the brake until the issue had passed. It happens so sporadically and unexpectedly that I cannot anticipate it. …

The basic issue is unintended acceleration. I reported this issue four (4) separate times to the local Toyota dealer in my area: 1/20/2020 - 5/2/2020 - 9/28/2020 and most recently on 6/13/2022. The most recent incident resulted in an accident whereby I backed into a building while parking and caused more than $5,000 damage. All incidents were reported to and investigated by two (2) different Toyota dealers in my area: Simi Valley, CA and Thousand Oaks, CA. The investigation resulted in no findings and to this point in time, fortunately, no one was a hurt nor was there another vehicle involved - yet. Just a few days ago - 10/24/22 - my wife and I were in this same vehicle running errands when this happened again. While coming to a stop at an intersection, the accelerator raced while I had my foot on the brake. …

My car pulls back as I'm driving and or breaking. Specially when im in the freeway passing 40 miles per hour. Have take. It to get check but they tell me it's a computer glitch between engine and system. I'm concern it may cause a problem on the road.
While slowly pulling into a parking place, car suddenly accelerated. Applied the brakes, but they did not work. Crashed into a bush and the side of the building where I work. Put car in neutral and applied brakes again..then put it in park. Airbags did not deploy and there is approx. $1,000 damage to front fender and headlight on drivers side. Am leasing this car and lease is up in under 90 days. I want to trade this immediately but want to report issues with this car so that Toyota will fix it before someone else gets it.
The engine 'stalls' or 'hesitates' when going into motion from a stopped or slow position, as in pulling out into traffic or turning on a side road. It is sporadic so I never know when it is going to happen. It has almost caused accidents on several occasions since the vehicle 'stops' instead of going faster. I have to take my foot off the gas and pat the gas a few times to get it moving again. This has been reported several times to my Toyota dealership and they say everything is running correctly according to the computer. They suggested I bring it in when it happens, which I did several times, but since it is sporadic, it didn't happen for them. They keep saying there is nothing wrong. The mechanics shrug and say they have not heard of anyone else with this issue, but from reading this, I am not the only one. …
I went out to the garage to verify that the garage door was closed and heard something humming in the garage. Upon investigating the sound it turned out to be coming from under the rear of the car. The only thing that made sense to me was the fuel pump was running. I proceeded to get the keys and cycled the ignition to on without starting the car and then back to off. The humming stopped. I did remember hearing a second humming sound start and stop when turning the key to the on position, which would be the normal fuel pump cycling for an engine start sequence. I am wondering if what I originally heard May have been a relief valve slowly bleeding off pressure, but I am not sure if there is a relief valve somewhere in the back of the car. I disconnected the battery overnight for piece of mind. This did all occur between 4-5 hours after the car had been parked. …
