Description of the problem	While on a camping trip my 2007 toyota tacoma suffered a sudden unintended acceleration event. While applying the brakes and coming to a stop the tacoma suddenly accelerated and flew over two good size boulders a cast iron fire pit and came to a rest after hitting a solid concrete picnic table. A report was filed with coho campground hosts acting as to go on file with the washington state forestry department. This even occurred at the wynoochee dam and reservoir located in the pacific northwest of washington state. The truck was remanded to toyota of olympia washington and the insurance carrier was notified. The truck was due for the well documented toyota floor mat, gas pedal and braking acceleration override modification. Now listen carefully here... The floor mats were heavy duty rubber non-toyota brand mats. They were not impeding the gas pedal in any way shape or form. The truck accelerated instantly while braking and almost at a dead stop. Review of nhtsa findings on this issue are shocking. I did not hit the accelerator by mistake, there is a huge difference in the size, feel and consistency of these two incredibly different pedals. Many children and campers were present in this campground, the sheer luck that no one was killed is a matter of fate. The fact i am writing you from my living room and not a jail cell while being held for vehicular manslaughter is a miracle. This is not driver error, you have a bunch of 4 wheel time bombs out there traversing the nations highways. With over 30 years in technical electronic systems i assure you this truck accelerated from an almost dead stop while my right foot was on the gigantic break pedal, not the little tiny gas pedal. Hear me, believe me..... End of story.
