| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
I was on the highway (not using cruise control) when my check engine light came on and the throttle control changed. The truck would randomly throttle without pushing on the pedal. Additionally, if I put the pedal down the truck couldn't get beyond 60mph going up a hill. However, going down hills the truck was throttling on its own as if it were trying to attain a speed of 70mph even though the cruise control wasn't on or even functioning (at this point I was not on the highway). If I braked the throttling would stop; however, when releasing the brake pedal the truck would continue to throttle. When I pulled into my driveway the truck once again was randomly throttling. I disengaged the battery thinking that possibly rebooting the trucks computer would help. I started the truck in park and immediately the rpms increased as if someone had there foot fully decompressing the pedal. I know Toyota had recalls on their vehicles but apparantly not on the 2014 Tundra model. This is a very unsafe truck issue that luckily occurred in a rural setting. I let the truck sit for two days and drove the truck around the 4 mile block. Initially the truck drove normal for the first two miles. By mile 3 it was uncontrollably throttling. The throttling did not stop this time even when holding down the brakes but luckily the brakes are at least good enough to slow the vehicle down.
Tl the contact owns a 2014 Toyota Tundra. While the vehicle was idling at an intersection with the brake pedal depressed, it accelerated without warning. The contact placed the vehicle in neutral and then in park. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, the failure recurred. The contact installed a new battery, but the failure recurred. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The failure mileage was 28,000.
