What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving on the highway approximately 60 MPH, the check engine light illuminated then the vehicle completely shut off. He was able to restart the vehicle with difficulty; however, it became difficult to accelerate. He was able to drive onto the emergency lane and noticed that two other lights besides the check engine light illuminated (he did not cite which lights).
In slow moving traffic, repetitive light gas and light braking. Noticed the brake becoming difficult to depress. Had my left foot stationary on the foot pad, right foot over the brake while rolling forward. Started to drop my right foot on brake as vehicle slowed in front of me and engine suddenly accelerated rapidly as if to full throttle. Pressed on the brake as hard as I could, engine redlined and rear tires started spinning.
