Once a month or so when i am at highway speeds the car does not decelerate as normal when i take my foot off the gas pedal. The car tend to stays at the speed it was at until i use the break. It is almost like the cruise control has been turned on without notice (it is never turned on during these cases).

I noticed that the driver side floor mat moved to the front and i am afraid that the floormat could jam the gas pedal like it happened before. To my knowledge there have been fatalities due to gas pedals jammed by the floormat on previous toyota models. Toyota claimed that the floor mat issue was addressed but the 2 clips which are supposed to secure the floormat are not strong enough. My vehicle was not even 3…

Well the accident hasn't happened yet, but it could be right around the corner if the dealership doesn't fix this. When i let off the gas at speeds between 40-60 it seems as thought the cruise is on. The car does not decelerate normally. If there is a slight slope down it even picks up speed. It's still getting fuel even though you don't have your foot on the pedal. It can take a few min or several miles before it…

It accelerates often to where you have to apply the brakes firmly to where the anti lock then kicks in. During servicing it has been brought to the attention of the dealership but they have continued to say that there is…
