Consumer Description

WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND CROSSWALK WAITING FOR TWO PEDESTRIANS TO CROSS MY 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA SPORT BEGAN TO ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT WAS TO PUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL - WITH THE ENGINE RACING OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL I MANAGED TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY OFF. MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 10K MILES ON IT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE BRAKE ON HARD ENOUGH TO PREVENT HITTING THE PEDESTRIANS WHILE MY TIRES WERE SMOKING BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE REVVING. *TR
