TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I HAD MY TUNDRA RUN AWAY WITH ME TWICE; BOTH TIMES IT OCCURRED WHEN I WENT TO PASSING GEAR WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. PROSPECT MOTORS IN JACKSON CA LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS THE FLOOR MAT. I ARGUED WITH THE SERVICE GUY, BUT HE WOULDN'T LISTEN. I KNOW FOR SURE THAT DURING THE FIRST OCCURRENCE THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS SECURED. AND I WOULD BET THAT IT WASN'T THE ISSUE WITH THE SECOND INCIDENT. I USE CRUISE CONTROL A LOT BUT NO LONGER LEAVE IT ON WHEN USING PASSING GEAR. THE FIRST TIME INCIDENT, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN SPEED CONTROL BY STOMPING ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS PETALS. I WAS NEVER ABLE TO REGAIN SPEED CONTROL DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT. I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AND PULL AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRYING TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. ONCE OFF THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WE ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ANY INFORMATION OR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE NO FAITH IN TOYOTA'S REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000. UPDATED 03/10/10 *BF THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT NO CHANGES BE MADE TO HIS COMPLAINT. UPDATED 05/10/10

I WAS BEHIND A CAR MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH THE LEFT BLINKER CLEARLY ON, I HAD SLOWED TO ABOUT 10 OR 15 MPH AND WAS ABOUT 1 OR 2 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THE CAR. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WENT TO A FULL THROTTLE CONDITION... I GLANCED DOWN TO SEE IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS??? IT WAS FULLY ON THE BRAKE I THEN STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT WITH THE FULL THROTTLE IT CONTINUED FORWARD UNTIL I HIT THE CAR AND PUSHED IT LIKE A BULLDOZER. MY TRUCK CONTINUED ABOUT 20 BEFORE FINALLY STOPPING. ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT WHILE ON A DOWN RAMP WITH A CAR AT LEAST 20 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND IT TOOK OFF??? I QUESTIONED MYSELF AS TO WHAT HAD HAPPENED? IT ACTS LIKE THE RESUME BUTTON IS PRESSED FOR CRUISE CONTROL BUT I DID NOT HAVE CRUISE ON EITHER TIME. IN READING TOYOTAS DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM THEY SAY... STICKING AND OR HARD TO PRESS ON THE PEDAL I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OF THOSE PROBLEMS.IN TALKING WITH TOYOTA I WAS ASKED WHAT I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE AND I SAID I THINK THE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE MIGHT BE INVOLVED. IT HAS AN INPUT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, AN INPUT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AN OUTPUT TO THE THROTTLE POSITIONER. IT IS MY FEELING THAT THERE ARE MORE PROBLEMS THAN JUST A GAS PEDAL ISSUE. *TR
