As the vehicle was stopped in the parking spot it suddenly accelerated on its own. I applied as much pressure as possible but it continued to move forward. I proceeded 8 to 10 feet between a pine tree and satellite dish and additional 25 feet before the acceleration stopped. I believe in the course of the situation i slightly moved my foot to exert more pressure which in turn disengaged the malfunction. Deep ruts…

The third of three incidences occurred on 3-10-10 while traversing a parking lot which, at the time of the accident, i thought sloped down into a lower parking lot. At the edge of the upper parking lot it became apparent that there was a two to three foot vertical drop into the lower lot. I applied the brakes and continued over the edge. Upon impact with the lower lot, the vehicle accelerated and, after swerving to…

I was skeptical about this brake override until the sudden acceleration actually happened to me on 3/5/2010. I was on the freeway traveling 50 mph in moderate traffic when a construction truck decided to turn into my lane. I gave it a quick punch to avoid a collision when i felt my rpm's kept climbing as i was no longer on the pedal. I panicked and tried to apply the brakes to no response, so i tapped the shifter…

I had to slam on the brake immediately and was able to stop the vehicle before hitting any of the parked cars. The same event occurred moments later when i had to back out of some heavy snow in the same parking lot. I have received a letter about…

While driving my 2005 toyota tacoma truck, i approached a stop sign and applied pressure to the brakes. Instead of slowing down, the truck suddenly accelerated. To avoid hitting a car in front of me, i swerved into a yard and put the truck into neutral. This enabled me to bring the truck to a complete stop. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 toyota tacoma. He stated that the driver's side floor mat was secured by two 1.5 inch hooks. The hooks were able to spin around completely over a 3-inch radius, catching only in one direction to prevent the floor mat from moving. While entering the vehicle, the contact's foot would grip the floor mat and due to the movement in the hooks, the floor mats would move forward becoming stuck…

2005 toyota tacoma--it's not the floor mat! Unintentional acceleration problem. Backing to turn around, looking over my right shoulder and turning the steering wheel to the left. When moving my right foot from throttle to brake, the truck suddenly accelerated and the harder i braked, the faster it went. Stopped the movement by shutting off the engine. What happened: in the position i was in, twisted to look over my…

Often times when i am braking to a stop in my 2005 toyota tacoma, i feel the truck lurch forward. I have been able to stop the truck by applying more pressure to the brake, but the truck still wants to move forward. I generally leave ample distance between myself and the cars in front of me. This has prevented two rear end accidents. *tr

We purchased a 2005 tacoma pick-up in 2005. My husband has had two experiences with the pick-up accelerating on its own, at full throttle, without his foot on the throttle at all. Only after turning the engine off did it stop. This took place in 2006 & 2007. He contacted the toyota dealership that we purchased it from and were told they had not heard of anything like that happening. We gave the truck to our son in…
