Uncontrollable acceleration: my husband's 2005 toyota tundra accelerated at a very high speed while he had his foot on the brake at a stop sign. He had his back pushed up against the seat and pushed as hard as he could on the brake, but the truck took off anyways and he was forced to pull out in front of oncoming traffic. Luckily he wasn't hit. This is the second time this has happened in this truck. In january of…

My vehicle suddenly lost power because the plastic fan in the secondary injection system broke and the pieces blew into the exhaust ports and melt, sticking up the exhaust ports. The vehicle doesn't run right and is a safety hazard because of a design problem. Toyota accepts the problem and has extended the vehicle warranties for the 2007-2010 model years, but not for my model year. Repair has cost me over $3,000…

I drive a 2005 toyota tundra that has accelerated about a dozen times since i bought it. Seems that when i hit a major bump that's rising across the lane i'm in and go across it, my truck will accelerate momentarily without me pressing on the gas pedal. I cannot always duplicate this action and when i go to the dealer it comes back as problem not found. As i mentioned it's only occurred maybe a dozen times since…

I have a toyota tundra 2005 that has had the throttle drivers updated. I have had at least 6 incidences of uncontrolled acceleration. These incidences occur at slow speed in muddy situations. Depressing the brakes to the floor does not stop the vehicle and i have had several near misses. This occurs in [redacted] and i believe it has to do with the vsc and software. The only way to stop the throttle or unwanted…

I have experienced floor mat entanglement issues and uncommanded accelerations with my 2005 tundra double cab. I also have experienced a clunking sound in my brakes/front end when i shift into reverse and then apply the brakes. The dealer has told me all of these issues are normal which according to the recalls for other model years they are clearly not normal. Can the 05 tundras be added to the current recalls and…

It causes the vehicle to suddenly and rapidly accelerate. Vehicle is very difficult to control on snowy, or rain slick roadways.

I purchased this vehicle used aprox 10 years ago. The issue that i have had looked at by toyota dealership remains unresolved. When you take your foot off the brake it immediately lunges forward and travels without foot on the gas up to speed of 15 mph on flat level ground. It is definitely not safe. It could cause?an accident. My brother's insisted that i have it looked at by toyota dealership. I have not had a…

Long delay between depressing "drive-by-wire" gas pedal and engine responding. My 2005 toyota tundra has an electronic gas pedal. It's unacceptable behavior may explain some of the current "surging" people are seeing in other toyotas. This is a 100% software problem (i am a electronic engineer). Description: when the engine is at idle, or even worse, when you are decelerating at idle power, and you increase the…
