| Shortly after i purchased the above vehicle on june 17, 2010 i was in a shopping center parking lot when suddenly the engine raced to a very high speed and i had to quickly place the transmission in neutral to avoid lunging forward. i called the toyota dealer where i purchased the vehicle and they told me to bring it in which i immediately did. without performing any checks on the vehicle the service manager and i went for a drive and he concluded it was the manner i was moving my foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal that caused it to occur. for a while i was satisfied with his answer but on another occasion about a year ago the same thing happened and i thought i had subconsciously did the same thing with my foot to cause the problem. however this past thursday i was again stopped at an intersection and the engine suddenly went into full throttle and my foot was nowhere near the accelerator pedal. once again i had to quickly place the transmission in neutral in order to avoid moving into the intersection and causing an accident. | |||

| 2010 toyota tacoma. consumer writes regarding high rpm of vehicle engine *tgw the consumer stated the dealer did not offer a diagnostic or road test to determine the extent or reason for his safety issues. a technical service representative stated the engine specifications were set electronically at the factory and the rpm could not be adjusted. the consumer stated the issue appeared to be a high rpm of the engine, which created an aggressive surge when placed in forward and reverse positions. *jb | |||
