 Description of the problem i was driving my new 2007 toyota tacoma on the highway. I went to accelerate to pass another vehicle when my truck suddenly went completely out of control(as if the cruise control had taken over) the gas pedal *pushed itself* to the floor. The truck was accelerating as fast as it could go, rpm past 7000(completely red lining). I applied the brake which did nothing, truck just kept accelerating to top speeds. I had both feet on the brake with all my strength to keep from crashing into other cars on the highway. Counterbalancing it at about 60-70 mph(while the brakes were smoking). I tried pumping the brake, but the second i took my foot off, it kept accelerating faster trying to go 120 mph. Somehow riding the brake as hard as i could i weaving in and out of traffic i got into the brake down lane. Still not able to stop the vehicle i threw it in park, which stopped it, but the gas pedal was still stuck to the floor. Engine was screaming, rpm at 7000, and the tires are spinning burning rubber. I then turned the truck off, turned it back on and it was still doing the same thing until i realized the gas pedal was actually stuck so i hit it and it released. Once i unstuck the pedal the vehicle seemed ok so i drove home very cautiously. When i as almost home i accelerated with a little to much juice and it did the same thing a second time. The pedal took over and floored itself, accelerating to top speed and top rpm's. This time i immediately turned the vehicle off, unstuck the pedal and again carefully finished my drive home. Reported the incident the next morning. They said nothing is wrong with it, after a month of fighting traded the truck in. *jb *dsy
