Description of the problem | 2007 toyota tacoma double cab 4x4... Pulled up to a stop sign, stopped, nudged forward to see intersection better, engine rpm's spiked, gas pedal floored itself... I placed both feed on the break pedal with every ounce of leg strength to keep the truck from going into intersection... Rear wheels were spinning while both feet on break pedal. Truck inched toward intersection with oncoming traffic coming both ways... Suddenly the gas pedal returned to normal position and wheels stopped spinning. This could have easily killed me and other drivers approaching in the intersection. Service department could find nothing wrong with vehicle. |
