Ignition Switch Problems of Toyota Tacoma

Forth time. Same situation. While creeping along in drive, with foot on brake pedal, a/c compressor clicked on, engine rpm's revved slightly, then throttle went full force. Tires started spinning; brakes would not hold. Had to turn ignition switch off. Turn back on and all ok. Government knows about this problem with 2002-2011 Toyota's, and have fined them heavily. There needs to be a brake override system installed on electronic throttle so this will not happen. Very dangerous. And it did not involve the floor mat as one was not in vehicle.

While moving at idle in a parking lot, looking for space to park, a/c compressor turned on. Ecu raised engine rpms the normal 200+- rpms. Immediately afterwards, engine went to full throttle. Stood up on brake pedal with both feet. Rear tires were spinning and smoking. Began to move faster than originally. Turned off ignition switch, put in park. Restarted and no problems since then. Believe something confused ecu when rpms were raised to compensate a/c compressor engaging.

On three occasions my 2009 Toyota Tacoma would continue to run with the ignition switch turned off and the key removed.

The ignition key will not turn all the way off. It will go one notch to the left to alt. And turn the motor off but will not let the key come out. I've been to dealer several times and they don't know the problem. They 1st said it was the key but has proven wrong. I cannot lock the door with the key in the ignition except to use another key.
