Description of the problem | After pulling into a parking spot, prior to changing the gear from drive to park, the engine revved up violently on it's own. My foot was no longer on the accelerator. Luckily, i was able to apply hard and fast pressure to the brake pedal as soon as the engine roared, and put the truck in park before lurching into the brick wall in front of me. I turned the truck off, and restarted it. It started normally, and i had no more problems with it. This happened in the summer of 2009, and hasn't happened since. I marked it up as being some strange eletro-mechanical anomoly, but after receiving toyota's ridiculous 'floor-mat' explanation and hearing how wide-spread this problem was, i wanted to go on record that the 2007 toyota tacoma suffers from the same unexplained safety hazard as the vehicles listed in the january 2010 toyota recall. It would have been bad enough hitting that wall, but someone could have been walking in front of me. This is not a good thing. *cn |
