What owners wrote
I pulled up to park the truck. After put in park the 2017 toyota tacoma lunged forward. This caused the vehicle to hit a brick wall. There was almost $5950.00 in damage to the truck and the airbags did not go off. I watched myself crash into the wall and could not stop the truck.
Freeway traffic was slowing. Edge of sole of shoe caught under brake pedal when trying to stop on when the vehicle in front of me suddenly and unnecessarily stopped completely. The delay in braking would have resulted in a crash into rear of car in front had I not swerved into median when finally able to start braking. Sole of my athletic shoe flares out a little which may be part of the problem. Seat was as far back as it goes. Perhaps distance to pedals is too short.
