Description of the problem	Sometime in august of 2008 i was driving home from work in my 2006 toyota tundra, the car in front of me was driving very slow. I got irritated, changed lanes and punched my gas pedal. When i took my foot off the gas pedal my truck kept accelerating. I put on the brake and it still didn't stop accelerating, only when i tried again and put the brake on as hard as i could, i heard a "pop" noise and the accelerator went back to normal. I didn't take my truck in to be repaired right away because i had it for about 2 years and it never did that before and it only did it when i punched the gas pedal. I also had no eye witnesses and didn't trust the dealer. So i tried to reproduce the acceleration 3 or 4 more times successfully during light traffic and with witnesses, each time when i put on the brake very hard i heard a "pop" and the accelerator went back to normal. Before i took my truck to the dealer about 2 months later i went on the freeway during light traffic to see how fast the tundra would go and if it would stop by itself. The truck accelerated to about 75 mph and made the "pop" sound and went back to normal without putting on the brake. I took it in to the dealer and explained everything that had happened and that i had witnesses. They said they would check it out and seemed like they already knew about it. When i went back to the dealer to pick up my truck i brought my wife. The service rep. Took me aside so my wife couldn't hear and told me "officially we didn't find anything wrong, unofficially it did what you said". Then he went on to explain that the old accelerators used to use cables to give the engine more gas, but the new accelerators like mine use a vacuum system to give the engine more gas. He said that my vacuum system had gotten dirty inside, they cleaned it out and they didn't think it would happen again. I am writing this because i recently read about a woman in the newspaper who was being prosecuted for crashing in her lexus.
