Had brake pedal pushed as far as it would go, our truck accelerated unit our truck hit another car then turned the ignition off to get our truck to stop. Mats were clip in and a good 4 to 5 inches from pedal. Two people in the truck at the time of the accident.

Tacoma 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,590 miles
2008 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck- I was wearing a pair of steel tip workboots when I was pulling into a parking space at a convenience store. I hit the brake but the brake pedal when actuated is closer to the floor than the top part of the gas pedal. With steel tip work boots being worn which are wider than street shoes I actuated the brake and gas pedal at the same time. The truck shot forward in the parking spot and hit a tubular pylon filled with concrete. This is the only thing that kept the vehicle from crashing into a person or building. Damage to vehicle has been estimated @ $ $1,170.
