1 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2017

My vehicle will suddenly accelerate for no reason. This sudden "unintended acceleration of power" comes on with no notice. I have almost his a person and have been in one car accident as a result. This unintended acceleration problem has occurred about 10 to 12 times. The unintended acceleration has occurred both in stationary & in motion; and both on a city street and highway. Turning has not been affected by unintended acceleration. Toyota has tested and provided the attached report to me but without any interpretation. My vehicle repair cost because of the unintended acceleration was $4,529. 24. Toyota still has not responded to this dangerous and life threatening situation.

2 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2007

Sequoia 2005 2wd. The 2005 should be recalled. (1) while pulling into a parking spot at about 5 mph, the car suddenly accelerated, driving over a parking curb & down a hill. (2) after coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, I tapped on the gas to go & the car suddenly accelerated, lurching forward. After this happened I took the car to the dealer, who inspected it & failed to find a problem. Floor mats were no where near the brake & is not possible that the gas pedal stuck, because it accelerated suddenly. If the gas pedal merely got stuck, then the car would have continued forward at the same rate of speed, but in my case it accelerated suddenly both times.
