| Sudden unintended acceleration. time was 6:55 am. i was on work property having just turned left from a light. i was 5 th car in line to make a right turn. all cars were stopped. my foot was lightly pressing break. the next thing i know, my truck was ramming the suv in front of me. no way my foot could have touched gas pedal...it was a traffic jam. it's like this every morning. i contacted toyota right away. they denied it, but sent out an eng to get black box data. i never heard from them again. | |||

| I experienced sudden unintended acceleration in my 2005 tacoma pickup while parking. i was turning left into a parking spot and applying the brake when the tacoma suddenly accelerated jumping the parking curve. i stopped the vehicle by applying heavy pressure on the brake pedal and throwing the automatic drive into neutral and then park. i checked to see if i could have been stepping on the accelerator by mistake but the loud rubber screeching of the tires were a sure indication that my brakes were being applied as the car surged forward. also i inspected the floor mat (which had already been inspected by toyota) and saw that there was no interference with the accelerator. i immediately brought the car to the dealership but they just referred me to toyota usa via a phone number. i have called toyota usa and reported the incidence. i definitely believe there is a defect in this car and this needs to be address. this is dangerous. this is not the first time this has occurred. in 2006 i went to the dealership and asked if there was a recall or service bulletin regarding this problem. they said there was none at that time. i regret not pursuing it further because it appears that toyota has done little to remedy the situation. thank you | |||
