| Description of the problem | Sudden acceleration on my 2008 toyota tundra. The truck would not stop, kept getting faster and faster turned key off to stop. Took to dealer and they said they put a shim on the gas peddle and then test drove the truck and found no problem. I called toyota corporate and they said they would only note my account and will not investigate problem. My complaint is that no one will look into the vehicle computer to see what caused the vehicle to accelerate so fast. Why it got worse when i applied the brakes? Toyota is totally not taken this serious at all. *dt |
