This complaint is for an incident that occurred on Nov. 27th 2009. I was parked almost all the way out of my garage. The vehicle was running and transmission was in park with emergency brake applied. Fortunately I was sitting behind the wheel and immediately shut the ignition off. I do not know the rpm's. My wife was getting into the truck on the passengers front. When all of a sudden the engine raced as it would have as described as "unintentional sudden acceleration". This was the second time that the truck did this except that the transmission was in park. Being out in the desert and this happening and being in the garage in park sends out to me a message that this truck has a glitch in it that now has happened twice. If I was not in the truck, god only knows what would have happened. I have reported the sudden acceleration to Toyota already. Toyota has looked at the truck at my dealers and has sent the information to their legal dept. To decide what they will do. I have not reported the latest incident. The Toyota people are supposed to call me Monday the 30th. I shall tell them about this incident at that time. I have already told them that they should have impounded the vehicle but instead they let me drive the vehicle home. What needs to happen is Toyota needs to buy the truck back and make me whole on the complete purchase price of the truck. Once that is done they can use my vehicle as a test truck. The floor mats are the correct Toyota issued with one keeper. My gas pedal doesn't hang up, so possibly they will actually have to find the problem. I really hope they find what the issue is. But once they say that "it is fixed". I'll wait another year before I amuse myself to purchase another truck. I always trusted Toyota but no more.
