| Description of the problem | I was behind a car making a left turn with the left blinker clearly on, i had slowed to about 10 or 15 mph and was about 1 or 2 car lengths behind the car. I applied the brakes and the truck went to a full throttle condition... I glanced down to see if my foot was on the gas??? It was fully on the brake i then stood on the brake pedal but with the full throttle it continued forward until i hit the car and pushed it like a bulldozer. My truck continued about 20 before finally stopping. About 2 weeks before this incident i had a similar incident while on a down ramp with a car at least 20 car lengths in front of me. I applied the brake and it took off??? I questioned myself as to what had happened? It acts like the resume button is pressed for cruise control but i did not have cruise on either time. In reading toyotas description of the problem they say... Sticking and or hard to press on the pedal i have not had any of those problems. In talking with toyota i was asked what i thought the problem might be and i said i think the cruise control module might be involved. It has an input from the gas pedal, an input from the brake pedal and an output to the throttle positioner. It is my feeling that there are more problems than just a gas pedal issue. |
