I was at the walmart in bolivar, mo 6:30 pm on March 4th. Got in my Tundra put it in reverse, backed up and put it in drive. As I pushed on the accelerator to go forward slowly the truck accelerated on its own. I applied the brake and turned left to avoid hitting a car and hit a yellow concrete post while the truck continued to go forward about 20 feet. I then put it in neutral and finally got it to stop. I then tried to open my door and it would not open. I went ahead and drove home about 3 miles and parked the truck. I called my insurance company that night to report the accident and left a message. I called them again the morning of March 5th, 2010 and gave them the details. A claims adjuster has assessed the damage on the body of the truck but those repairs have not yet been completed. On March 11th, 2010 I received a recall notice in the mail from Toyota on the truck for a accelerator pedal reinforcement bar installation. I called the dealership that same day to schedule the recall and they said they could not get me in until April. When I told them about the accident they change my scheduled time to that same day, March 11th at 6:00 pm. I drove the truck to the dealership and they installed an accelerator pedal reinforcement bar. I have owned this truck for approximately 2 years and this is the first time the accelerator stuck. I have a flawless driving record and consider myself to be a very careful driver. I am confident this was not a driver error. I was in a busy walmart parking lot directly in front of the entrance of the store so I was naturally being cautious.

I own an 08 Toyota Tundra. Have done all maintenance work and have records. Had the accelerator pedal problem fixed (?) by Toyota in wellesley massachusetts on 2/5/10. The date below is approximate, I put the car in reverse and it took off smashing my rear bumper which I paid to fix. I just thank god that was not a child behind my car. Since then there have been too many incidents to counts with the accelerator sticking. Called Toyota both dealership and company and was told my truck has been fixed. I am here to tell you it has not been fixed. The more miles I put on the car the more frequently this happens. I was on channel 5 news in mass on Friday 3/5 and sat 3/6 regarding this continuing problem. Toyota is not offering a rental while they look at it and this is a work truck for me. I don't work I don't get paid and I still owe 16k on the truck. I am sending a certified letter to corporate Toyota and putting them on notice regarding the liability on this matter, which is huge. I am not losing my home and everything I have worked hard for all my life because Toyota has a problem they cannot figure out. I myself do not believe there was ever a floor mat problem, that was a delay tactic. But I am reporting to you as I was instructed to do by channel 5 not Toyota or the dealership but by the newscaster that broadcast my story. The acceleration is happening at least 5-9 times a week at various times. If you can help please do. Thank you.

On October 31st 2008 I was in an accident involving my 2007 Toyota Tundra. This accident occurred at 7:30am on I-20 just west of atlanta. I hit another vehicle in the rear and totaled my truck.

Until the reports starting appearing about the accelerator issue I really didn't think much about my accident. I feel like a stuck accelerator pedal caused my accident.

Toyota 2007 Tundra twice accelerated uncontrollably due to a stuck accelerator on the factory floor mats, which are a very thick rubber and don't come with safety clips. Mat was moved back but fear it may slide forward again.

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.

2007 Toyota Tundra double cab accelerator stuck wide open. Upon getting on an on ramp the Toyota truck accelerator stuck wide open. I slammed my foot against the accelerator and brake trying to get it unstuck with no success. By the time I hit 90 mph I ended up putting the car in neutral at which time the engine ran all the way up to its top rpm while hitting the rev limiter. I then shut the vehicle off and coasted to a stop. The floor mat was not interfering and this was probably one of the most frightening experiences of my life. Stranded along the highway I had no choice but to cautiously restart the vehicle. Restarting the vehicle resulted in the throttle returning to its normal position. This happened Saturday afternoon.
