2 Accelerator Stuck problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2009

I bought a 2010 Toyota camry in sept. I called my dealership 2 weeks after I bought it noticing that my car revs up for no reason & doesn't shift right. I contacted another Toyota dealership recently about it not shifting right & they said they have had several complaints about the same thing. My mom has a 2007 Toyota 4-runner & the gas pedal stuck 3x on her & my stepdad last summer on the interstate. Not knowing what to do, he turned off the ignition & coasted to the side of the interstate. They contacted marion, IL Toyota dealership where they bought it & they gave my parents a hard time & was very hateful. After the 3rd time they finally cleaned the "throttle body" & hasn't done it since yet she hasn't drove it much since she is scared for her life. She has been an avid Toyota owner. She has owned 3 4-runners and is thinking about going to something else mainly also because her dealership is being hateful about all of this. I'm scared for her & of course for myself since the Toyota 4-runners are not on the recall list.
