While merging into interstate traffic in my 2000 toyota tundra v-8, i accelerated to passing gear. The accelerator remained fully engaged. I stomped the brakes hard and fortunately the accelerator disengaged. I had no option because of congested traffic and the median was steep. I have owned this tundra for several years and experienced this fully engaged accelerator once before. I called jpauley toyota of fort…

My 2000 toyota tundra, v8 engine, automatic transmission, has a problem with the accelerator pedal not working when the engine is running. This usually happens in cold weather (below freezing) several times a year, and the check engine dash lamp comes on. This requires that i stop the truck, turn off the engine, wait approximately 15-20 seconds, then restart the engine. Only then can i continue to drive. This…

I have a 2000 toyota tundra and today, the engine stalled at the first light i stopped at. When i restarted the engine, the truck would not accelerate. It would idle, but there was no response to the gas pedal. Since i was on an incline, i could not go forward so i had to reverse slowly back to a parking lot. When we hooked up the obdii code puller, it came back with a p1121 code. I researched on the internet what…

The accelerator pedal stuck on my 2000 toyota tundra truck while i was trying to parallel park on a downtown side street, causing me to hit the vehicles in front and in back. No one was hurt, but vehicular damage was considerable, and my insurance increased. A police report was filed. Until now, i couldn't figure out what happened. It hasn't recurred, and this model wasn't mentioned in the recall. *tr

I had the accelerator stick while parallel parking my 2000 toyota truck about 4 years ago. I tried to brake, then put the vehicle in reverse, ended up damaging both the vehicle in front and behind my vehicle. At the time, i didn't understand what had occurred. Now i see others have experienced the same problem. *tr

The truck suddenly accelerated and went off the road, overturned. My wife was sitting in the back. She was ejected and killed. It was so sudden and i did not know what to think. I thought it could be the slippery condition of the road causing the truck to go…
