I was approaching a red;ight in phoenix, a truck was in front of me I applied the brake and the accelerator amped up. The guy I rearended said he saw mer crow hopping as my truck was doing this. I had my foot firmly pressed on the brake as hard as I could. I only stopped when I rear ended him. I was on a city street in phoenix.

My father has an '05 Tacoma sr5 v6 with the trd off-road package. His truck is a 6-speed manual. When pressing the gas pedal 1/2 way, the engine responds with a semi-violent jerk, and then goes. This scares me, as I couldn't even imagine my father going fully down on the pedal. This is very unsafe. Please fix this Toyota.
