In my tacoma truck, after stopping at an urban intersection i depressed the gas pedal and the truck accelerated to a safe speed normally. I then removed my foot from the petal and the truck continued to accelerate reaching a very unsafe speed. I began to brake with all of my strength and finally got the truck to stop with the engine still running at some awesome rpm. I turned off the ignition and after waiting 5-10…

I went to accelerate to pass another vehicle when my truck suddenly went completely out of control(as if the cruise control had taken over) the gas pedal *pushed itself* to the floor. The truck was accelerating as fast as it could go, rpm past 7000(completely red lining). I applied the brake which did nothing, truck just kept accelerating to top speeds. I had…

This is not a failure, but something i see as a safety issue.. When i am stopping at a stop light/ stop sign and am in driv with the air conditioner (a/c) on the truck will surge forward and i have to push the brakes down harder. This only happens when the a/c is on, and seems to come from the increase in engine rpms when the compressor kicks on. This is very unsafe and could cause me to rear end someone. *ak

However, this time, before releasing the brake, i looked at my foot and it was clear of the…

I was stopped waiting for oncoming traffic at rt. 136 west newton pa. With my foot on the brake the truck accelerated so hard the brake would not hold it even with full pressure applied. The oncoming car missed me by inches. After trying to get toyota to take care of it with no luck, i traded the truck in with only 3000 miles on it. I am very concerned that the truck will be sold to someone that may have the same…

I was driving down hill along about 50 km/h. I noticed stop lights and cars spinning and sliding everywhere. I gently took my foot off the throttle to start engine braking and as usual nothing happens immediately. Worse, truck started to accelerate because of rpm hang problem on every manual transmission equipped model (my complaint to dealer was ignored twice). This is not exactly a place where you can push the…
