2007 toyota tundra double cab accelerator stuck wide open. upon getting on an on ramp the toyota truck accelerator stuck wide open. i slammed my foot against the accelerator and brake trying to get it unstuck with no success. by the time i hit 90 mph i ended up putting the car in neutral at which time the engine ran all the way up to its top rpm while hitting the rev limiter. i then shut the vehicle off and coasted to a stop. the floor mat was not interfering and this was probably one of the most frightening experiences of my life. stranded along the highway i had no choice but to cautiously restart the vehicle. restarting the vehicle resulted in the throttle returning to its normal position. this happened saturday afternoon. *tr

Please see my write-up on the toyota tundra forum website: http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/tundra-problems-dealer-service/30988-warning-accelerator-stuck.html. *jb the web forum entry describes an unwanted acceleration incident that was caused by an unsecured aftermarket floor mat entrapping the accelerator pedal after application. *dsy

2007 toyota tundra dc 5.7l limited. i was driving on the freeway and i went to pass another vehicle when i got into the next lane and another car changed lanes in front of me and i was forced to slam the brakes. the abs system engaged and slowed vehicle down , but the truck felt like it was being pushed forward... by this time i had enough room in front of me, so i let off the brakes and the truck jumped like i was holding my foot on the gas. i almost hit the car in front of me again. i slammed on the y brakes again and the abs system kicked in, and the truck was still trying to accelerate, but i held the brake hard enough that i didn't hit the car in front of me. at this point i had to do something. i stuck the truck in neutral and tried to get to the side of the freeway. when i got stopped i had 3 lights on ., brake, vsc, and a picture of a car with 2 crooked lines on it. i believed it was traction control. by now the truck was normal again but the lights were on so i took the truck straight to the dealer . *ak

I just noticed others had complaints about this issue too on your site. i brought it to the attention of the dealer and they had no fix except to remove one or the other although the standard clip does not work well with their mudder mats. i was entering the highway from the ramp and pressed down to accelerate to move into traffic and the truck accelerated as hard and fast as it could. i found myself having to weave through traffic like i was in a nascar race. when i finally found a clear path to the shoulder i swerved onto it and shut the truck off. it would not slow down and i could not shift into neutral. i had to be going about 60 at the top of the onramp and well over 100, probably faster, when i finally was able to shut it off. i got out of the truck to take a break and calm down and upon returning to the truck i noticed that the "mudder mats" i bought from a toyota site slipped forward enough to wedge itself under the gas pedal. i stay aware of the position of the mat more frequently now and keep it slid back but there is no restraint for it that will go thru both the floor liner that protects more of the floor area and the mudder mat on top of it. i bought both at the tundra parts site. i hope that there will be some warning for others made big and dramatic enough to bring attention to this problem to avoid having this happen to another. i was very lucky to have survived this. *tr

My 2007 toyota tundra hesitates when you are stopped at a light making a turn or slowly rolling around a corner and making a sharp turn. no matter how much gas is given it retards it self and then lurch once the wheels start to straiten up. i was told it is a computer issue due to the antislip features. but it is gross over correction at best. and dangerous for sure. *tr
