Description of the problem | After exiting a freeway, i disengaged but did not turn off the cruise control. The vehicle coasted momentarily, but then began to accelerate. I applied the brake, but the vehicle maintained speed. The harder i applied the brakes, the higher the rpms rose. The anti-lock brakes kicked in, and the brakes began smoking, and the vehicle was still moving at 40 mph, the rpms at 6,000. I shifted into neutral, the rpms pegged the tachometer, but the vehicle stopped. The motor revved until i shut the vehicle down. I took it to victory toyota, but was told that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. They had it for 4 days. I took it to them again, with the same results. In march, toyota sent two engineers to look at it for a day, however i have not been told any results. |
