A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION
SUDDEN ACCELERATION
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones.
Electrical
EXTENDED USE FOLLOWED BY EXTREMELY COLD CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN EXCESSIVE THERMAL SHOCK TO THE CRUISE CONTROL COMPUTER RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION. IN THE WORST CASE MALFUNCTION, SHOULD THE ENGINE BE RE-STARTED WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL MAIN SWITCH LEFT IN THE "ON" POSITION, THE ENGINE MAY RACE UNTIL THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH OR IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. IF THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN GEAR WITH THE ENGINE RACING, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION COULD OCCUR, RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: CRUISE CONTROL COMPUTER WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE OF IMPROVED DESIGN.
1984 CRESSIDA, SUPRA, COROLLA DN TOYOTA VAN, AND 1983-84 CAMRY. THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT COULD FAIL AND LEAD TO AN OVERCHARGING CONDITION. CONTINUED VEHICLE OPERATION WHILE IN OVER- CHARGING CONDITION WILL DAMAGE THE BATTERY AND COULD CAUSE SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER.
Recalls cover specific build ranges, so check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or, in Canada, Transport Canada.

I HAD A RUN AWAY TOYOTA CAMRY IN 1984. OF COURSE IN THOSE DAYS THE CAUSE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE OPERATOR ERROR. IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT TOYOTA IS FINALLY ON THE HOT SEAT. THEIR ACCELERATION PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS.
