5 Accelerator Stuck problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2009

Accelerator pedal sticking. The problem just began recently in the last 2 months during the cold weather. It does it all the time. I have not yet taken it to get repaired or inspected but I read a lot of people having the same problem with another model the Ford escape and it is the same recall Toyota is doing. I have been close to a couple of accidents because of this problem at dangerous intersections where my car is just idle and I cannot accelerate to get out of the way unless I push the pedal all the way down which makes the car tires burn rubber and speed off dangerously.
