Cruise control randomly stops working. Works perfectly for a few days then quits. Sometimes the cruise light is illuminated but the cruise control still does not function. The issue seems to be related to the steering column. Sometimes when the steering wheel is turned lock to lock the cruise control then operates normally. Local mechanic says this may be the "clock gear" which is very expensive to replace.

The check engine light came on and the vehicle won't accelerate over 45 mph. Almost caused me to have an accident. Seems like toyota knows about this problem and won't do anything to recall the problem. *tr

Toyota recall notice for accelerator pedal. Not sure what is determined to be a reasonable amount of time for the toyota dealer to schedule repairs. My experience, today(3-22-10) i called for an appointment, an was given a date for three weeks later(4-9-10). If this could be life threating defect, i would think toyota would have dealers on extended hours and saturdays to resolve the problem with the amount of…
