NHSTA SAFETY COMPLAINT TEXT Safety defect and Incident Chronology: I am reporting a catastrophic, recurring sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) defect originating strictly from a forward idle state, culminating in a severe bidirectional runaway and property damage crash. This vehicle utilizes an Electronic Throttle System-intelligent (ETCS) that failed to trigger a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) , Check Engine Light or fail safe limp mode during all three events. INCIDENT 1 (MAY 15, 2026): While maneuvering at low-speed idle into my residential garage, the engine un commandingly surged . I was tapping the brake to go cautiously. Simultaneously, the brake pedal became rigid and physically impossible to depress. The vehicle crashed forward into my tool benches and drywall. INCIDENT 2 ( on or about May 22,2026): Under the identical conditions, the vehicle without command surged forward with total brake rigidity. Fortunately, this time it caused no damage. INCIDENT 3 (June 10, 2026) During a slow speed idle parking maneuver , the vehicle violently surged forward with total brake rigidity and struck shelving. To cut propulsion I immediately shifted out of Drive. Instead of neutralizing the event the car the car underwent a severe bidirectional runaway, violently accelerating in REVERSE for approximately 35 feet across my driveway crashing into my woodpile . I ended up moving forward and stopped somehow. TECHNICAL EVALUATION for INVESTIGATORS: The recurring rock hard brake pedal serves as empirical pneumatic proof that the throttle body valve uncommandedly opened wide while my foot was actively modulating the brakes, instantly destroying the engine manifold vacuum reserve. Furthermore, the vehicle accelerating forward and backwards proves system failure. The vehicle was transported via flatbed to PAPPAS Toyota. Toyota Case # TA 261680161. I request NHSTA safety Egrs secure and audit this transient ETCS-I failure mode.
