Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2010 Toyota Tundra

Turned left at a green light then truck suddenly accelerated to approximately 70 mph coming to a school zone with lights flashing and busy road ahead I seen parked BMW. The truck was new to me and had slap shifter so when I moved it for neutral it had to be pushed over and up. I just went over and with little time and busy intersection and children. I picked the BMW thought good crash rating. Slammed the over BMW and kept going til struck a power pole breaking it. There was witness behind me stated �I was driving normal then suddenly accelerated and vier left. � I hit the BMW square with my arms protecting my face which is evident from pictures.

A sudden acceleration of engine rpm was experienced with the transmission in park and the engine idling. Without touching accelerator pedal, engine rpms increased to 3500 to 4000 for 8-10 seconds before returning to typical idling speed engine would not subsequently respond to depression of accelerator pedal. Toyota repair shop has diagnosed problem as throttle body stuck open. Although nobody was injured or killed in this incident, that doesn't make it any less serious. Perhaps some day, Toyota will fix these issues proactively.

In slow moving traffic, repetitive light gas and light braking. Noticed the brake becoming difficult to depress. Had my left foot stationary on the foot pad, right foot over the brake while rolling forward. Started to drop my right foot on brake as vehicle slowed in front of me and engine suddenly accelerated rapidly as if to full throttle. Pressed on the brake as hard as I could, engine redlined and rear tires started spinning. Popped it in neutral and within a second the engine stopped accelerating out of control. Floor mats were not interfering with any pedals on my immediate inspection after incident. Incident caught on dash/windshield camera.

I have 2010 Toyota Tundra that has had a sudden acceleration. I was driving down the highway with the cruise set at around 73mph. I had to hit the brake, when I hit the cruise to reinstate the cruise the truck seamed like it went full trouble. My foot was never on the gas and the truck accelerated to over 90 before I canceled the curse control. This has happened only once.
