On 1/2/18 I was driving into a parking lot going slow getting ready to put my truck into reverse to back up into a spot when suddenly without warning an unintended acceleration took place. My truck would not stop accelerating forward with my right foot pressed all the way down on the brake my truck continued to rev up and jump forward with tires rubber burning due to me having my foot on break trying to stop the truck. I missed hitting a car barely and still not sure how I missed it. My foot was clearly on the brake the entire time and finally I put my truck in park and the truck came to a stop, since I was not going down a highway. I reported to Toyota and got no where. I have no floor mat in my truck so cant blame it on floor mat. They are claiming it was misapplication of pedal. This is a total lie. I would of hit that car had my foot been on wrong pedal. My foot was on the brake so hard and putting in park stopped the truck. Again could hear the engine rev as if stuck in acceleration and my tires burning rubber as I continued to engage brake and truck was jumping forward. Toyota has opened a case but again refuse to admit to any problem blaming it on misapplication of pedal. Kerry Toyota florence ky insists they did inspection but refuse to show me any results from inspection just say they inspected pedal and floor mat, which there is no floor mat. I am not convinced they ran a diagnostic on it. Toyota corporation again aware of other cases but still refuse to acknowledge a problem. I am scared now driving wondering when or if will happen again.

As I was turning left into a parking space between two cars, the truck started to accelerate. I applied the breaks, but the car was fighting against the breaks. I put both feet on the brakes and the truck was stopped but the back wheels were spinning at a very high rate causing squealing on the pavement. While "standing with both feet on the brake, I put the truck into neutral - no change in the acceleration. I put the truck into park, the wheels continued to spin... I finally turned off the ignition and the truck jerked and the engine cut. The wheels then stopped. The acceleration lasted about 10 seconds. No one was hurt. No damage to any vehicles. But there could have been sever damages. Incident occurred on November 22nd, 2013.

Shortly after I purchased the above vehicle on June 17, 2010 I was in a shopping center parking lot when suddenly the engine raced to a very high speed and I had to quickly place the transmission in neutral to avoid lunging forward. I called the Toyota dealer where I purchased the vehicle and they told me to bring it in which I immediately did. Without performing any checks on the vehicle the service manager and I went for a drive and he concluded it was the manner I was moving my foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal that caused it to occur. For a while I was satisfied with his answer but on another occasion about a year ago the same thing happened and I thought I had subconsciously did the same thing with my foot to cause the problem. However this past Thursday I was again stopped at an intersection and the engine suddenly went into full throttle and my foot was nowhere near the accelerator pedal. Once again I had to quickly place the transmission in neutral in order to avoid moving into the intersection and causing an accident.
