Luckily, we were traveling at a low rate of speed, because we had just accelerated after leaving a red light. The driver (a friend) kept her wits and put the car in neutral, then steered into an empty lot where she shut off the engine. At this point…

They charge $25 to do this if that is all you have done. When the problem occurs you have to press down on the gas pedal hard to get it to release. This is obviously very dangerous. I have told my toyota dealer many times about this problem. The problem seams to…
