While driving my 2007 Toyota Tacoma X-runner pickup it accelerated without driver input. I shifted into neutral gear and vehicle's engine revved to an excessive number of revolutions per minute, for approximately 5 to 6 seconds. I confirmed nothing was holding the accelerator pedal down. The engine's revolutions per minute was excessive to the extent, I feared the engine would fail. The uncontrolled engine revolution ended on it's own. My local Toyota dealer stated there is an electronic chip installed to limit excessive engine revolution, prior to causing any damage. Further, that none of the present "government recalls, " apply to the above vehicle. This occurrence occurred once and has not been repeated.

I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma. Since I have owned it, when I drive, the steering feels loose. It seems like I am constantly trying to maintain a straight line, more so than on any other car I have owned. Also, when I stop, sometimes the engine feels like it downshifts and lurches forward a little bit.
