 Toyota vehicle. consumer states that he has identified the cause of the vehicle surge or at least one of the causes. *tgw the consumer stated he owns four toyota's and has reported the sudden acceleration problem to toyota on more than one occasion. the consumer stated when traveling at low speeds, one can use the brake pedal alone to allow the forward motion of the vehicle by relieving the pressure slightly and then pressing down again to stop; such as in stop and go traffic. in those circumstances the plane of the brake pedal will descend below the plane of the gas pedal. in this circumstance, if one's foot is partially on the brake pedal and partially over the gas pedal, it will cause the gas pedal to descend and the vehicle to accelerate. the natural tendency when this occurs is to press further on the brake pedal which actually further engages the gas pedal as well as the brake pedal and cause the vehicle to lurch forward. the solution for the problem from a driver's point of view, is to be more careful about foot placement. the solution for the pedals would be to make certain that the brake pedal is always higher than the gas pedal. *jb
