In 1991, driving on hwy 5 in cal, sudden my car tacked out, accelerating beyond anything i've experience. This car is before the current recall. I bring this up, because, at the time, i knew it was not the pedal. It seemed to me at the time that it was in the wiring or computer. I put the car in neutral, it completely tacked out, risking that it would throw a rod. Then i turned the key, and shut off the engine as i drifted off the highway. Please don't let toyota get away with saying this is just pedals, it was not for me. *tr
