Accelerator Stuck Problems of Toyota Tacoma - part 2

I was driving my 2008 Toyota Tacoma westbound on fm 1960 east of huffman texas when I accelerated to pass a slower vehicle and the gas pedal stuck to the floor. After reaching a speed over 90 mph and closer to 100mph I began braking and moved to neutral and then began to slow. Being a two way, 2 lanes (total) highway I am fortunate there were no westbound cars or cars im my same direction. My wife and family friend were very upset as well because for 15 seconds we could not stop. I immediately removed the floor mat believing that was the cause.

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.

The contact states when starting the vehicle in the morning the idle was high. It took approximately one to one and a half miles of driving for the idle to return to normal. The accelerator pedal stuck. When shifting from fourth gear to fifth without foot on the accelerator the vehicle accelerated on its own. She stated that fourth gear could not be used. The vehicle must be shifted from third gear to fifth gear. The vehicle has been to the dealership twice, and they stated the computer was learning. The manufacturer was contacted, and they agreed with the dealership. Therefore, no repairs have been made . Updated 01/25/06.

My 1998 Toyota Tacoma experience unexpected acceleration in 2004. The vehicle was totaled (worth about $12k at the time) due to the bent frame caused by hitting a concrete wall, then another car in a parking lot. My wife, a Toyota employee, who was driving the truck, suffered bumps and bruises due to the fact the truck only went about 30 feet before impact. The insurance investigator found no problems with the vehicle, and postulated my wife had her foot on the accelerator. She guaranteed her foot had been on the brake. The vehicle was shrink wrapped until a Toyota rep could read the electronics. His response was the same. So was hers. Guess what model year Toyota began using their electronic throttle control system (etcs)? 1998 - what a surprise. My wife has been vindicated. Toyota's problem is not with floor mats or gas pedals that stick. It is with the etcs.
