 Description of the problemAs i was driving up a mountain, the traffic in front of me was slow, i braked to slow, but the truck did not slow down. I pushed harder on the brake, but the truck still did not slow down. There was no place to pull off, a drop off on the right and traffic on the left coming down the mountain. I kept my foot on the brake as hard as i could push it, all the way to the top of the mountain. There was a parking area at the top and i turned into that area. My husband quickly turned off the key and we came to a sudden stop. We got out of the truck and my husband raised the hood. Several men stopped to see if they could help. While the truck was sitting there, with the gear shift in park, my husband started the engine a couple of times. The engine raced at full speed. My husband did not have his foot near either pedal. There was nothing in the floor near the pedals. A tow truck came and picked up the truck, it was taken to the owner's location and the cruise control was disconnected. The engine ran normally then. We took the truck to a toyota dealership, where it was checked, and we were told that there was nothing wrong with the truck.

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
