2006 Toyota Tacoma involved to accident on 10/22/09 where during the accident the accelerator stuck wide open on the ice. My foot was on the brake when truck stopped & the rear tires where still spinning. I had to turn off the ignition to get the wheels to stop spinning. The car I hit Honda accord was totaled. It got knocked into the drainage ditch. Luckily no one was injured. At the time I didn't tell police about the accelerator problem. Not on the police report. I did advise the party I hit & the tow truck drivers. Also advised the body shop. Now my insurance went up[ $50 a month. I have a ticket and have to pay a fine. I immediately removed the floor mat when I got my truck back from the body shop. I believe Toyota is partially to blame for my accident. I started to slide on the ice & at some point the accelerator stuck wide open. This I'm sure made the accident much worse. Imagine being on ice with your accelerator stuck wide open. I was lucky no one was killed.

Stuck gas pedal on my Tacoma truck.
While driving on I-95 south of jacksonville florida in my 2006 Toyota Tacoma I was forced to accelerate rapidly to avoid an accident. The vehicle kept accelerating until I doing almost a 100 mph weaving through traffic until I could get into the right hand lane and shut the engine off. Once stopped the first thing I checked was the floor mat as I had a problem with previous vehicle causing the accelerator to stick but the floor mat was no where near the accelerator pedal. I restarted the vehicle but it just revved wide open so I turned it back off and called arlington Toyota. I was advised to call a wrecker as they said they had not experienced this issue before. They had it for three days but could not find any problems as it run perfectly when off loaded off the wrecker. I was advised to install mat retaining pins. Then I received a recall for the floor mats and when I took it to the dealer for recall I was advised to removed the drivers side floormat. I was told nothing more that Toyota as to what was being attempted to correct the issue. Is that a viable recall? I know for a fact it was not the floor mat that caused the issue but was advised by Toyota there was no documented instances of unexplained acceleration with Tacoma's. My vehicle is a 2006 Tacoma prerunner access cab, v6, automatic transmission with towing package. I really thought that Toyota would rapidly get fix in place but that has not been the case and for this reason I am submitting this complaint.
I was passing on a two lane highway and the accelerator stuck. It has happened twice in three and a half years. Both times I tried putting the truck in neutral and had to shut the engine off. When it restarted both times the pedal was working normally.
I am filing a complaint regarding the Toyota accelerator issue. I received notice that Toyota is going to do a recall based on the floor mats causing the problem. I floor mats are not the problem. I have a 2006 Tacoma and the day I brought it home the accelerator stuck as I pulled into my garage causing me to scrap the wall and caused minor body damage. Since then I have had several instances where the accelerator has stuck. It seems to occur when I come over a hill and as I start down the engine continues to "rev" and the rpms stay up even if I apply the brakes. I have complained to Toyota about this everytime I have the truck in for routine service and I'm always told it is nothing. I know two things for sure, it is not "nothing" and it is not the floor mats. As information the floor mats are the standard mat that came with the truck when I bought it new and they are secured to the floor. Ntsb should not accept that this is a floor mat problem.
