| Description of the problem | 2007 toyota tundra double cab accelerator stuck wide open. Upon getting on an on ramp the toyota truck accelerator stuck wide open. I slammed my foot against the accelerator and brake trying to get it unstuck with no success. By the time i hit 90 mph i ended up putting the car in neutral at which time the engine ran all the way up to its top rpm while hitting the rev limiter. I then shut the vehicle off and coasted to a stop. The floor mat was not interfering and this was probably one of the most frightening experiences of my life. Stranded along the highway i had no choice but to cautiously restart the vehicle. Restarting the vehicle resulted in the throttle returning to its normal position. This happened saturday afternoon. |
