Unintended Acceleration

Despite increasing occurrences of unintended acceleration, Toyota maintains the problem is a mechanical one, having nothing to do with the internal electronics of the vehicle. The automaker attributes the problem to a number of possible causes:

• A sticky gas pedal
• Driver error
• Floor mats entrapping the accelerator

A new story surfaces almost daily of drivers insisting they were trying to break the car, not step on the gas, yet the vehicle continued to surge forward, some recent examples include:

• A woman claims her Toyota Prius sped out of her driveway, across the street and into a wall
• An off-duty highway patrolman and three family members were killed in their runaway Lexus
• A man says while trying to park, he fought his car while it leapt over a cement block, crossed a median and slammed into a tree
• The driver of a 2006 Lexus IS 350 claims he could not slow his car until he shifted into neutral

Problem with the Toyota Highlander

The popular Toyota Highlander, rated "much better than average" in most categories by Consumer Reports, is having its share of complaints. Consumer Reports bases its ratings on surveys conducted by the magazine and its website.

Toyota touts its Highlander as "the SUV that's thought of everything." It is one of the first "cross-over" SUVs that combines some of the qualities of a sports utility vehicle with those of a car. The company reports it has seven-passenger seating, a Star Safety System™, and the Center Slow™ second-row seat.

Problems reported recently with the Highlander Hybrid include drivers describing instances such as:

• A "gap" during breaking
• An unexpected "surge when breaking"
• Reports of problems with the electrical system

Some drivers say when they take their cars to a dealer, they're told there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. One driver was quoted as asking, "What if there were someone in the cross-walk?" when he tried applying his brakes and they failed to stop the car properly.
