We get customers in occasionally with the same complaint. Some have been stuck floor mats and other ones are too lazy to move there foot and end up hitting both the gas and the brake at the same time.

i work for a toyota dealer and have had some people complain this happened but none of them were in a Tacoma. funny cause they have all been elder women and all had weather floor mats.

My father is a service manager for a saturn dealership in NY and has had a few complaints of drive by wire controlled cars accelerating on their own. He typically tells the customers they are nuts. He then was driving home in one of the vue demmos one night and floored it to pass someone and said that when he took his foot off the gas it kept going, he turned off the ignition, stoped the car restarted it, drove it back to the dealer had one of the techs test drive the car and they said he was nuts.

Personally, I think this is the beginning of automotive A.I.

We should all beware and treat our cars nicely so that they dont kill us

Customers with low IQ...apparently so do the managers at Toyota. I may be getting fired for leaving 10 minutes early? Are they nuts? They told me when I go in today to not clock in. I guess that's what I get for going to Toyota. Guess I'll try a GM dealer again.

that usually happens when someone is or has been on the **** list for quite some time and they needed just one more thing to make it official.

Perhaps these owners should stop talking on the cell phone
Playing with their GPS system when they are only going to the mall or friends house up the street.
Changing dvd's for their snot nose kids in the back seat.
And pay more attention to the environment inside and outside of their vehicle..

my SS did this on a few occasions. if you floored it, the pedal would stay down. after going crazy, i realized that it only did it when cruise control was on, but NOT engaged. Since then i always made sure to keep cc completely off when not using it.
