Wow
And thats not minor

Imagine getting of the highway and truck speeding up as you press your brake pedal

On the top of it
Toyota is stating thats a normal operation.

LOL

No kidding, certainly wake you up in a hurry. Saw this on another site thought I'd share the info, stay clear of Tundras on the highway, or keep them in front.

Wow! If I remember correctly Ford had some problem with 04+ F150's that when on cruise they would accelerate a bit. Not that bad though.

Isn't Toyota's supposed to be perfect car that are cheap, reliable, nice (ok, this one is proved false with the Tundra) ?

Maybe its just me, but if i had a vehicle which decided to take off id probably just clutch in or kick it into neutral.

New electronics should keep it from blowing up
but a good point on kicking into neutral

turning off the key off works too but not buying a Toyota P.O.S. works even better

Neutral - Keyoff, did it once when the throttle got hung up on my '05 Stang. Buddy that was in the car with me was shocked cause he admitted he would have never thought of to do that, especially as quick as I did it.
