PERHAPS THIS COULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON YOUR DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FAILURE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THEIR VARIOUS TOYOTAS. ACCELERATION ISSUES EMERGED WITH MY 2000 MODEL TOYOTA-- [XXX] IN 2000, I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA LAND CRUISER.AT AROUND 45,000 MILES (STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER?S WARRANTY) OR AROUND THE END OF THE YEAR 2003, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH MY LAND CRUISER NOT ACCELERATING?EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, AND I WAS STILL DRIVING. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I TURNED MY ENGINE BACK ON AND MY CRUISER WAS WORKING AGAIN. I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM CONSISTENTLY, BUT SPORADICALLY OVER THE NEXT 4 YEARS. I NEVER KNEW WHEN MY CAR WOULD STOP ACCELERATING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WOULD NOT ADVANCE FORWARD, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CRUISER TO THE CLOSEST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, MR. BRIAN MURPHY, AND MY VEHICLE WAS ASSIGNED TO THE MASTER MECHANIC ROHAN TO EVALUATE. ROHAN KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND AGREED IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. ROHAN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT WHEN I PRESS MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, A SENSOR CONTROLS THE ACCELERATION FUNCTION, AND THAT MY SENSOR WAS BAD, AND HE HAD TO REPLACE IT. THE SENSOR ISSUE WAS NEVER RESOLVED, AND OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS, I CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR LOSING ACCELERATION? DURING DRIVING. ROHAN CONTINUED TO TRY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE? BUT NOTHING HE DID EVER RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. IN MAY 2007, MY SON [XXX] DROVE THE LAND CRUISER A SHORT DISTANCE TO SCHOOL . THE LAND CRUISER LOST ACCELERATION WHILE [XXX] WAS DRIVING AND HE COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR AND HIT AN OAK TREE AND TOTALED THE VEHICLE. HAD HE BEEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE, HE COULD HAVE CONTROLLED THE CAR. *TR
