2011 Toyota Tacoma Vehicle speed control Problems

“While pulling my truck into the garage, I applied the brake. I was slowing down and heard the acceleration traction control turn on and my truck lunged forward about one to two feet. The front of my truck hit against some items in my garage and broke my headlight housing on the passenger side and scratched my bumper.”

“I started my Tacoma in park, with my foot on the brake I put it into reverse, the engine and then started to accelerate very fast, spinning the tires, it was on asphalt with some sand. I pressed down harder on the brake to keep it in place and shifted back to park, at which point the engine rpms went back to idle. When I returned to reverse everything was behaving normally. The truck had been in my heated garage for a week, I drove it 3-4 miles in dry sunny cold weather(32), shut if off for a few minutes before this happened. …”

“I am writing about a sudden acceleration problem I had with my 2011 4x4 Tacoma. On january 6th, I was returning from an appointment. I left the parking lot going about 10-20mph, I drove 1/10th of a mile down the access road when I went to brake at the intersection. As soon as I touched the brake the engine dramatically increased its speed and the truck started to accelerate. I immediately applied full pressure to the brake to stop the truck but the engine was still highly rev'd and I could feel the truck trying to accelerate. …”

“Sudden unintended acceleration. Time was 6:55 am. I was on work property having just turned left from a light. I was 5 th car in line to make a right turn. All cars were stopped. My foot was lightly pressing break. The next thing I know, my truck was ramming the SUV in front of me. No way my foot could have touched gas pedal...it was a traffic jam. It's like this every morning. I contacted Toyota right away. They denied it, but sent out an eng to get black box data. I never heard from them again.”

“Have noticed this issue ever since purchasing the vehicle new, but it was most obvious on the first long mountainous road trip this week: with cruise control engaged when beginning up steep inclines, the cruise control guns the engine, pushing the vehicle to speeds nearly 5mph over the cruise control set speed. Was traveling interstate highways, so by steep I mean nothing more than interstate standards. It is an unexpected increase in speed and dangerous to the point that I eventually started disengaging cruise control going up inclines.”
