What owners wrote
2006 toyota 4runner accelerated on own. Ran off road, across median and curbs, crashed. Tow driver started engine and engine raced, but accelerator pedal in normal position.
I experienced unexpected acceleration twice. Once was a month ago after starting the 4 runner in the garage. The rpms increased and as I put it in reverse the car accelerated stopping only as a pushed hard on the brakes. Today, 12-6-20, while the car was in motion and as I pulled into a parking spot, the vehicle again accelerated stopping only when I forcefully applied the brakes.
