| The brakes failed to disengage the cruise control and the vehicle continued to gain in speed as i was exiting the freeway. i turned the ignition off and tried to navigate a left turn at 70+ mph. with the rear end hopping somehow i negotiated the turn but could not turn again. i crossed the next street and ended up going thru the wall of an apartment building and stopped in the middle of the living room. it was only god's design for me not to die this day. had i not made the first turn i was going to run into a small grove of mature trees. also, if any other cars had been on the street i could not have avoided them. luckily the single mother of 3 small children were not in the living room. *tr | |||

| Started truck, connected small trailer to hitch. i noticed lights on trailer not on got out of truck to plug and unplug connector. lights came on. entered truck , put foot on brake to put in gear. the engine revved up and the tach. was fluctuating between 1000 and 6500 rpm without ever touching the accelerator. i turned the ignition to the off position. scared to restart, i let it sit for five minutes then started engine. everything ran normal and i proceeded to drive home. this had never occurred before or since this incident. i did not report this to toyota since the recall models were other than my 2004 toyota tundra . *tr | |||

| I was in line to go through the gate at the lake. i had 6 cars in front of me and i had my foot on the brake waiting for the cars to move. the rpm went up in my 2004 tundra and the truck started to move forward. i pushed harder on the brake but it did not stop. it connected with the bumper of the car in front and started to push it. i put the truck in neutral and turned the ignition off. the truck stopped then. the damage was only a scratched bumper. *tr | |||
