I own a 2006 Toyota Tundra truck. I have had two incidents where the accelerator has stuck. Braking did not slow down the acceleration. I was almost involved in an accident and almost went through my garage door. I took the truck to dealer who said there was no problem. The truck is not currently on recall.
The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. While driving 5 mph into a parking lot, the accelerator pedal became stuck. The vehicle uncontrollably accelerated over a curb and crashed into a building. The contact was applying extreme pressure to the brake pedal; however, the vehicle would not stop. He was forced to shift gears into neutral, reach down and pull the pedal from the floor. There were no injuries. The vehicle was driven to the dealer and tested; yet, the dealer stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The dealer also tested the micro chip in the engine and it registered there were no failures. The failure mileage was 29,828.

The authorized dealer was notified of the malfunction. The vehicle was not inspected at that time. The failure was a one time occurrence. The failure mileage was 30,000.
I am a ase certified master tech and mechanic of 15 years. I owned a auto repair shop for 5 years and have since returned the vehicle to Toyota lease. My 2006 Toyota Tundra would accelerate on its own at times. To stop it I would have to turn off the key, pull over and then restart it. Being a master technician I assure you it was electronic in nature. In no way was it a floor mat or accelerator pedal stuck. I did take it in for repair and was told there was no problem found. It did happen in the same location 3 times and could have been caused by emi. Again it was electrical in nature, there is no doubt of this. I do not own it any longer and hold no negative feelings towards Toyota.
