Sunday after 2009 christmas, we went to church. As we pull into the church parking lot and getting ready to back in one of the parking lot and our car Toyota Tacoma accelerate all of sudden with rapid speed and slam into the rear bumper of another parked vehicle (Honda accord). No one was hurt but our Tacoma front bumper and Honda's rear bumper was damaged. After that our truck brake light remain blinking and we can hear some clicking noise. We called police and reported the incident. We also left a note for Honda's owner to call police for further claim to fix they bumper. The following Monday, we took our truck to nearest Toyota dealer (lakenorman Toyota dealer over huntersville, nc) to have them check on our truck. The technician had to adjust something with brake and he told us that, the accident was likely caused by brake or gas pedal being stuck. I requested him to put that in writing and he was not willing to do so. We requested statefarm claim adjuster to file the claim to Toyota's claim department and they sent letter.
I was traveling to a training op on hwy 301 south with 2 CO-workers in my vehicle. I eased out to pass a vehicle and punched to gas to get on around him. The gas pedal stuck in the wide open position (or felt like wide open). It acelerated from about 50 mph to 100 mpg in such a short time, it seemed like seconds. I had heard a rumor that the floor mat may be the issue, so. . While accelerating at an absolutely unbelievable speed, I attempted to re arrange my floor mat. I was scared to death, bent over, traveling at over 100 mph. Omg. Finally something happened and the vehicle pedal let go. I was visibly shaken as were my passengers. It scared my to death.
Accelerator seemed to stick under normal driving conditions. . . Engine revs would not go to normal idle even in neutral. . . Brakes would not stop the vehicle at the high revs. . . Only solution was to put the car in neutral and shut the engine off. . . After working the gas pedal while in park, the engine idle speed went back to normal. . .
