Throttle control, 2008 Toyota Tundra with 5.7 L engine. Electronic "fly by wire" design has delays in advancing throttle on motor. Several complaints on Tundra blogs about this as well. Could be dangerous when making U turns or in blind areas as there is a hesitation in the engine response. I asked dealer about adjusting and was told that unit was not adjustable. I have my vehicle in the shop now for a replacement of this unit.
Uncontrollable acceleration to 100+ mph. Will not slow or stop even while pressing brake with both feet. Continues to accelerate. Cruise control will not override acceleration when brake is applied. Had to put in neutral, and turn the key while hitting bar ditch, nearly flipping truck and colliding with two 18 wheelers.
