| Description of the problem | Purchased a 2008 toyota tundra sr5 double cab .. From day one had problems with my accelerator was too springy and sensitve. On numerous occasions had difficulty keeping accelerator in control . Took it back to the dealer several times where they would hook it up to the computer only to tell me there was nothing wrong . Although i had talked to a toyota mechanic and he told me there would probably have something come out on this matter because he has seen problems like this before .. I went in for the recall and it seems there is a worse problem now .. I truly believe this is an electronic problem because it seems to coincide with the transmission which is also electronic .. This problem is on going . Especially when proceeding from a stopped position. |
