Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2009 Toyota Tacoma

2009 Toyota Tacoma gas pedal stuck on freeway on our 16 year old son. We had taught him from seeing Toyota on the news to put it in neutral and get to the side of the road, which he did successfully. The truck was towed to thousand oaks Toyota, they stated nothing was wrong and asked for my son to "drive it with a technician and try to replicate the problem". We sold it back to them, lost $8500 dollars, the dealer was unhelpful and other imho rude and Toyota corporate 800 number didn't answer after 5 attempts and 3 hours on the phone. We are extremely upset about this.

I received a recall notice from Toyota around September of last year. In this letter they said they would contact me about the accelerator problem with this vehicle. Now I am hearing about people with the accelerators sticking in the wide open position and other problems, so I don't know if I even want to drive this truck anymore. Should I park this truck until I hear from them? this is crazy.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Tacoma. While driving above 45 mph the vehicle began to rapidly accelerate and would not slow down. As a consequence she crashed and went into a ditch. Her front fender, hood and driver side door were damaged. There was a police report available. The Toyota manufacturer has not been contacted. The failure mileage was 10,000. Updated 03/10/10 the consumer stated the accelerator pedal would stick sporadically and infrequently. Updated 10/12/jb.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Tacoma. While driving 40 mph the consumer accelerated the vehicle and accelerator pedal became stuck. The vehicle was shifted into neutral, but the engine revved so he shifted it back into drive. Recalling recent news broadcasts he then pulled the floor mat away from the pedals, and then the vehicle returned to a normal state. A technician from the dealer stated that the floor mats were not hooked onto the clips. The floor mats are original equipment all weather mats. The current mileage was 6700. The failure mileage was 6680.

Accelerator sticks when I let off the gas pedal. Pedal does not stay physically depressed, it just doesn't slow down. If I push in clutch, engine races and rpm stays high. Dealer told me this was engineered into the vehicle to "assist with shifting".

I was dring 40mph and the throttle/accelerator got stuck as I tried to pass another car. I had to slam on the brakes as I almost crashed against another vheicle. Even then, the truck continued until I slammed on the brakes a second time and shifted the gear into parking in the middle of the street.
