So much for that toyota quality..

I had a 98 Ford F150 that had the same problem with the gas pedal. First time it happened to me I was driving our baby sitter home. I was entering onto a highway from an exit ramp and floored it to catch up with the traffic. It remained floored. I had all my weight on the brake and it was still moving. Scary feeling!! Yah I know there's a lot of things I could have done. So finally I got the baby sitter to reach under my feet and pull the pedal back up. Must have looked pretty funny to passers-by though - brakes on ,engine screaming, baby sitters head bobbing up and down on my side of the truck).
