When I was 16 years old my parents got my a new 2004 toyota tacoma, which was bought in september 2004. However, I did not get my license until december 21, 2004. I did not start driving right away. I started driving the truck in january. I only drove to school and back, which was about 7 miles away. On day after softball practice, which was held after school, on february 24 2005, I wrecked the toyota tacoma.
Dt*: the contact stated after releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle idled when the pedal was depressed again. The pedal must be released and depressed for the vehicle to respond. This occurred once every two weeks or several times a day. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. Updated 10/4/2006 - while driving 65 MPH the accelerator pedal with the accelerator pedal pressed the vehicle would decelerate. The vehicle would lose power without warning.
