 Description of the problemMy 2009 toyota tundra was repaired by toyota this past friday as a result of the throttle body sticking open.. Ie would stall. After repairs, the truck drove fine for 2 hrs approx. After stopping for supper (1hr) i started my truck again... This time the engine accelerated in park upto 5,000 + rpms for 10-15secs and then down to 500 rmps... Then repeated this over and over. I waited til the rpms dropped to 500 and placed truck in gear to try to get it home. The truck accelerated and took off on its own... Almost taking me through a red light. I was able to press hard enough on the brakes to stop in time.... Then it took off again for another block without me doing anything but riding the brakes. I turned into a randalls parking lot when rpms dropped to 500 again,... Dodging people who were walking into the grocery store. When it dropped again, i pulled into a parking space and put truck into park. This, all while the engine was consistently changing from 500rpms upto 5,000+ rpms with no interruption's called the dealership, still shaking, but only one person was still at the dealership... He advised since they were closed that another dealer was open later. So i had truck towed there. My original repair, they would not cover under warranty (13,000 miles on truck) because they said i had violated the warranty by installing a fuel saving device, which had damaged the throttle body. I paid them to replace the throttle body assembly... And then (approx. 3hrs later) the truck decided to drive itself,... And i feared i was going to hit someone, both cars and pedestrians. I never thought what i had read about would happen to me.
