Description of the problem | Pulled into a parking space and applied brake. Engine accelerated causing vehicle to jump a curb and strike a tree with the engine still racing. In a few seconds, the engine returned to idle. This is the second time this occurred. The first time, i concluded that i had caught the edge of my shoe on the accelerator pedal. However, this time, before releasing the brake, i looked at my foot and it was clear of the accelerator pedal. I know there is a major toyota recall for similar problem. However, this model is not included in the unintentional acceleration problem. After these two incidents, i'm concerned that problems also exist with this model toyota and it needs to be investigated. |
