Problems with 2007 Toyota Tacoma VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Tl*- the contact was having problems with the 2007 toyota tacoma, the throttle sticks while driving and trying to stop. the truck will not stop, it accelerated at all times unexpectedly. he took the vehicle to the dealer and they told him that the computer was learning how to drive, that the failure was normal, and that all toyota vehicles went through that process. it was taken to the dealer for repairs at least three times, and they could not find the cause of the problem. just last week he was in the parking lot driving at 5 mph and the vehicle accelerated unexpectedly. the current and failure mileage were 2300 miles.*ak toyota claimed claimed it was normal and a part of the emissions. updated 03/19/07. *jb

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 *dsy

At a full stop at an intersection the truck accelerated by itself hard enough the brake would not hold it. pushing the truck onto the road with oncoming traffic. the car missed me. please do not question my ability to push on the brake and not the gas as you have in all the reports i have read. *nm see also 10181486 *dsy

I was driving down hill along about 50 km/h. i noticed stop lights and cars spinning and sliding everywhere. i gently took my foot off the throttle to start engine braking and as usual nothing happens immediately. worse, truck started to accelerate because of rpm hang problem on every manual transmission equipped model (my complaint to dealer was ignored twice). this is not exactly a place where you can push the brakes even with abs because it also is an off slope turn. instead of slowing down gracefully, the rpm hang actually acts like a cruise control. combined with the downhill and the rpm hang i am not decelerating at all! suddenly the ecu finally decides to close the throttle (fuel cut off). at this point truck tail of my truck slide to the right and to the left. only my 20 year experience and good luck let me avoid a fatal accident. the non-linear throttle response is not safe. this is just dangerous how the ecu is programmed! maybe because only <10% of all trucks have manual transmissions toyota doesn't want to hear about it. toyota must issue ecu patch for manual transmission models v6 tacoma, fj cruiser to eliminate: 1.rpm hang when shifting 2.high rpm (1450) when rolling downhill in neutral or with clutch depressed 3.make linear throttle response. *jb

At highway speeds, the throttle sticks open causing the engine to continue at high rpm and the vehicle won't slow down. in heavy traffic, there is great safety problem. *nm
