Description of the problem	Toyota tundra 2006 double cab 4wd automatic transmission. I was 4 wheeling and stopped behind a polaris, by approximately 5 feet. I was in drive and 4wd and brakes applied. I stopped because the polaris had stopped. All of a sudden with the brakes applied my tundra lunged forward at a very high rpm crashing into the polaris. At that point i put the transmission into park and shut the engine off. Had i not responded with the action i took i would have shoved the polaris with 2 people into a very deep wash. Needless to say there is a great deal of damage done to my toyota. The toyota has major damage to the front end. Had i not taken the action that i did, we all would have ended up in the deep wash with major injuries. When i arrived home i immediately called tim's toyota in prescott arizona where the vehicle was purchased. The 2 people that could help me with the situation were not available so a call to them tomorrow will be in order. I have not contacted my insurance as yet as i feel that toyota is the responsible party for the accident. I had written to you quite a long time ago regarding the cruise control surging to 5000 rpm's when approaching even a minor incline. So i don't use it anymore. I am afraid to drive my truck into my garage for fear that the truck will lunge forward, only this time it will crash into my hvac and water heater, both are on propane.
