| The vehicle was cold and driven approx 1/2 mile to stop light from home. i was lightly stepping on the brake waiting for a light to turn green and all of a sudden a brief surge which caused me to hit the brake harder and then the surge stopped. i could see the tach go up as if i had hit the accelerator. in my opinion this sudden acceleration is a computer issue and not a toyota, ford or gmc issue. who manufactures the computer equipment for these vehicles? in my case i just ignored it because nothing bad happened but i thought the nhtsa should know. i have not had the problem since. *tr | |||
