| Description of the problem | My 2008 toyota sequoia started to accelerate from a stop( with my foot still on the brake) without pressing on the gas. It took both feet standing on the brake to try and stop my vehicle. It pushed my vehicle into the car in front of me. My tires with screeching and my vehicle was pushing the car in front of me. It finally stopped after a few seconds as i was going to try and put the car in park or neutral. My floor mat was in correct position- not jammed and my foot was not on the accelerator. I was happy to have witness with me as no one would have believed me. |
