Dt: the contact states the engine surged when pulling out from a stop position. As soon as ir accelerated it surged forward. The acceleration was more than expected based on the pressure being applied to the gas pedal.

At least since 2003 toyota has had many of their vehicles with sticking accelerators. I have a 2003 toyota tundra that i have taken to auto dealer to have work done to resolve issue. They have also had trouble with their [redacted] vehicles with their clunking universals on the second drive shaft. Toyota fights off the consumer complaints repeatedly and will not admit to their many faults. *tr

My 2003 toyota tundra reved up while i was coming to a stop sign and it hit the car in front of me that was stopped at the stop sign; what happened to me is very similar to the story that was written in the usa today on 3/10/04 about your investigation of a similar malfunction on camry, solara and lexus 300 models.*ak
