Two incidents within the last month (June-July 2018) of unintended acceleration. Both times occured while nearly stopped, with foot on the brake pedal. The engine revs as if hitting the accelerator, but foot is on brake. Had to press hard on brake to keep from lurching forward. Lasted 2-3 seconds.

While pulling into my driveway my accelerator suddenly surged forward into a brick plantar box, I was able to stop the vehicle with the brakes and emergency hand brake, although the gas pedal has always been sensitive the surge of acceleration has not been this excessive until now. Toyota states there has not been any claims on this vehicle...

Returned accelerator problem to dealer was told they would test drive it to try to duplicate the sticking. Then would contact Toyota "to see what Toyota wanted to do about it". I feel Toyota should be forced O buy back all of the vehicles they sold which are clearly potential death traps. Toyota tells me there is no electronic problem, while at the same time admitting they have no idea whatsoever what is causing sticky gas pedals. Their franchise to build and distribute vehicles in this country should be taken away, I don't care how many billions of dollars they lose.
