Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tacoma. While driving approximately 65 mph, the contact pressed the resume cruise control button. Suddenly, the engine began to rev and the vehicle continued to accelerate to 90 mph. He depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. The accelerator pedal was 'pegged' to the floor; however, nothing was obstructing the pedal. The contact disengaged the cruise control and placed the vehicle into neutral so that he could coast to a stop. He had to place the vehicle back into gear in order to finally stop the vehicle. He inspected the vehicle but did not see anything jammed under the hood nor did he see any leaks. The contact turned off the vehicle. When he restarted the vehicle, it performed normally. He took the vehicle to the dealer, but they found no failures. The dealer stated that the floor mat could have contributed to the failure. The manufacturer offered no assistance.
