| Description of the problem | 2003 toyota 4runner v6 sport. On saturday i floored the gas pedal and when i let up the vehicle continued to accelerate. I pumped the brakes but acceleration continued. I applied strong continuous force to the brakes and after a few seconds the acceleration disengaged. Yesterday's announcement of other non-4runner toyota models being recalled for exactly the same problem has me very concerned. Is it possible that the 4runner has the same issue and should also be recalled? |
