Vehicle acceleration - have a Toyota Tundra 2006 and it had accelerated on its own. I was very lucky that I pressed both feet down on the brakes and turned the vehicle which made me go up on a sidewalk. I thought I was going to hit a wall but it did not. I then came home and called the place that we purchased the truck and was told to bring it in for another recall and that they would look at it. Upon picking up the truck we were told that they did not see anything that would have caused the acceleration. I now see that Toyota is having such a problem so I wanted to report this. I am just so happy that I was not on a highway. I have two small children and I am now so worried about driving this truck.
Why have my odi's not been addressed ? 10183308, 10288886, 10293097, 10293888, 10314732. I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra that has problems with it since Nov. 2006. That is when I purchased it. Unfortunately for me I didn't have repair orders written up. I am not on the recall list and that's fine. But regardless I want my vehicle fixed. I was in an accident in oct. 2009 due to sua. I reported it to my dealer and my insurance carrier. The vehicle was looked at by a factory rep. It was decided by Toyota that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. I was told by Toyota to get an estimate on repairs. That was a preliminary estimate of just under $2000. 00. I was told not to have the repairs done until I heard from Toyota. To this day of March 5, 2010 the vehicle has not been repaired. I chose not to have the truck fixed because I was hoping Toyota would, as mr. Burton from texas told jim lentz, "if you know where a vehicle is that needs to be investigated go get that vehicle, I don't care if it cost one hundred thousand dollars, go get that vehicle. I must say mr. Lahood you have done that. This is the reason mine is not repaired. I have been writing emails to anyone that cared. The truck is still here? I have been in contact with people from Toyota about getting my vehicle purchased back and then they can test it. I'm reminded all the time that mine is not on the recall list. I say so what! it is not a safe vehicle to drive, my wife will not drive the truck and doesn't even want to be a passenger. It is a time bomb waiting to go off. Likened to russian roulette whenever you turn the ignition switch. I know that you have gone out and "got that vehicle". When sir, will you get mine? I hate wasting money to fix something that needs to be dismantled and gone trough with a fine tooth comb. I also share the responsibility to any person that may buy the vehicle to disclose the imperfections about the vehicle. Please help!!!!.

My husband had a crash on 06/26/2009 on his Toyota Tundra 2006 in concord, California (highway 242). He said he was on the freeway and the traffic stopped suddenly. He pushed the brake pedal, but the truck kept running at the speed that it was without stopping. He crashed 3 cars, and the Toyota Tundra 2006 was a total lost. Thank god nobody was hurt in that accident. But it took us so long for the insurance company to reimbursed us the cost of the truck. Also, I think it wasn't fair, because the truck was in such good condition, he was taking care of that truck like it was his baby.

I purchased an 06 Tundra in April of 09. I have noticed from time to time when at a stop light the engine will surge and if you are not on the brake hard the truck will jolt forward quickly. Is this part of the same issue with the accelerator problem that Toyota is recalling so many vehicles?.

2006 Toyota Tundra, very fast idle speed when cold and when first started.
The day I drove my 2006 Tundra off of the lot I noticed that when I am at a complete stop (red light or stop sign for example) with my foot completely pressing on the brake, the rpm's rise out of no where. In other words, the truck lunges forward when at a complete stop. I have reported to three dealerships, those that I take my truck in for service to, and the dealer I purchased the truck from. I first complained about this during the first week after I purchased it. I have requested that the service clerks include this in the notes, and complains sections when I take in the truck. I requested this to document my truck's actions.
