I was on the highway (not using cruise control) when my check engine light came on and the throttle control changed. The truck would randomly throttle without pushing on the pedal. Additionally, if I put the pedal down the truck couldn't get beyond 60mph going up a hill. However, going down hills the truck was throttling on its own as if it were trying to attain a speed of 70mph even though the cruise control wasn't on or even functioning (at this point I was not on the highway). If I braked the throttling would stop; however, when releasing the brake pedal the truck would continue to throttle. When I pulled into my driveway the truck once again was randomly throttling. I disengaged the battery thinking that possibly rebooting the trucks computer would help. I started the truck in park and immediately the rpms increased as if someone had there foot fully decompressing the pedal. I know Toyota had recalls on their vehicles but apparantly not on the 2014 Tundra model. This is a very unsafe truck issue that luckily occurred in a rural setting. I let the truck sit for two days and drove the truck around the 4 mile block. Initially the truck drove normal for the first two miles. By mile 3 it was uncontrollably throttling. The throttling did not stop this time even when holding down the brakes but luckily the brakes are at least good enough to slow the vehicle down.

Vehicle accelerated when taking foot off gas (engine revved) and accelerated on its own causing vehicle to spin out during winter driving conditions and sent vehicle smashing into cement barrier. Vehicle has accelerated on its own since driving off lot in November, 2016. At first I thought this was an issue with the four wheel drive, but it's clearly an acceleration issue. I've also tested this and was able to make it nearly 1.5 miles from my home, mostly up hill without even stepping on the gas. In addition, my rear tires spin when in drive when on snow or ice when not engaging the gas pedal. Engine revs while this happens, as it did during my collision. Toyota currently has vehicle and advised that this case was escalated to corporate due to circumstances.
