2007 Toyota Tacoma fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was passing another vehicle in my 2007 toyota tacoma. The accelerator stuck while passing. I tapped it twice trying to release it and applied the brakes. The accelerator pedal would not release and the vehicle continued to accelerate. I quickly turned off the ignition and coasted to a stop. The pedal was still laying on the floor when I stopped so I opened the engine hood and looked to see if I could see the cable linkage and see what was causing the problem. I then went back to the cab to see if the floor mat was causing the problem (it was not). As I came to the cab door I heard a pop as the accelerator pedal snapped back up (about two minutes after coasting to a stop). I then started the vehicle and it drove normally. I took the vehicle to the dealer to have it checked out. They said they could find no error codes and that they could not find anything wrong with the accelerator.
I was stopped waiting for oncoming traffic at rt. 136 west newton pa. With my foot on the brake the truck accelerated so hard the brake would not hold it even with full pressure applied. The oncoming car missed me by inches. After trying to get toyota to take care of it with no luck, I traded the truck in with only 3000 miles on it. I am very concerned that the truck will be sold to someone that may have the same problem and not be as fortunate as I was. *jb see also 10180652
