Consumer Description

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT W/ MY 05 TACOMA AND NEEDED TO PERFORM A K TURN. I STOPPED, PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE, AND IT FELT LIKE IT WENT FULL THROTTLE FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE HITTING ANY OF THE PARKED CARS. THE SAME EVENT OCCURRED MOMENTS LATER WHEN I HAD TO BACK OUT OF SOME HEAVY SNOW IN THE SAME PARKING LOT. I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT FLOOR MATS LAST YEAR AND HAVEN'T HAD THEM IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SINCE LAST OCTOBER. IT ALSO DID NOT SEEM TO BE A PEDAL ISSUE. THE THROTTLE SEEMED TO OPEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE. *TR
