| I was coming to a stop at traffic light. as i slowed down with my foot on the brake the engine suddenly began to surge. since my foot was already on the brake i was able to push down harder on it to stop it from hitting the car ahead of me. within a second or two, as the engine continued to surge, i shifted the transmission into park. when i did this the engine surged even more. i then turned off the engine by turning the key which did shut everything down. i then restarted the engine and it ran normally. i was somewhat shaken up by the incident. note that this had nothing to do with the floor mats or hitting the wrong pedal. my foot was on the brake pedal the whole time the incident occurred-if it hadn't been i would have crashed into the car in front of me. *tr | |||

| While braking (at about 5 mph) to make a turn into our carport, the vehicle began to accelerate with a rapid increase in engine rpms. in order to stop the vehicle, the gear was shifted into park (tried to shift it into neutral, but ended up in park). car returned to idle. immediately check the floor mat to find it was not a factor. called toyota dealership in the area and made appointment for following work day. after 1-1/2 weeks at the dealership, they checked the vehicle and said nothing was found wrong with it. he noted that the floor mats were after market floor mats and not recommended. i explained that this was checked immediately after the car returned to idle and was not a factor. he assured me that everything was checked and nothing was found wrong with the vehicle. *tr | |||
