Accelerator Stuck Problems of Toyota 4Runner

Accelerator sticks. When depressing accelerator pedal, it sticks without moving. The only way to get it to move is by putting ever increasing pressure on the pedal until it suddenly breaks free and the care lurches forward.

My accelerator pedal got stuck on my Toyota 4runner. I believe the floor mat was involved as when I managed to pull over and stop, I pulled the floor mat away and the pedal released.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota 4runner. The contact stated as she was driving 40mph the accelerator pedal went all the way to the floor and became stuck and the speed increased to 90mph. The contact stated she jammed her feet on the brakes, put the vehicle in neutral and the vehicle slowed down. She then pulled to the side of the road. She turned the vehicle on and off as the engine reset itself. She then drove slowly home and parked the vehicle. She drove the vehicle twice after the first failure and the accelerator pedal became stuck to the floor. Her husband had to pull the pedal up manually. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they could not duplicate the failure. The contact stated thata representative will be coming from the manufacturer to inspect the vehicle. There was no prior maintenance done to the vehicle prior to the failure. The failure mileage was 8,236.

I have a 2004 Toyota 4 runner, which I believe is not subject to a recall, and on three occasions the accelerator has become stuck. Each time it occurred when I accelerated more than normal, and each time once my foot went off the pedal the car kept accelerating. Each time I was able to stop it by braking. Two of the occasions occurred back to back less than a minute apart. I am somewhat afraid to drive the car and certainly afraid to accelerate hard. There was a floor mat and I have removed it.

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.

I have a 2004 Toyota 4runner and a few months ago the accelerator pedal got stuck under the rubber floor mat. I purchased the rubber floor mat from a Toyota dealer and it was made specifically for the 4 runner. When the pedal got stuck, the engine was running wide open. I managed to get the vehicle in neutral and stopped before hitting anything. It was very frightening. It appears like the mat slid forward and that was what caused the pedal to get stuck. I had recently cleaned the mat and may not have had it positioned properly when I reinstalled it. I think the design of the mat is not safe due to the thickness of the mat at the front near the pedal. Future incidents are likely if the mat is loose and slides forward. I did have a carpeted mat under the rubber mat. The carpeted mat came with the 4runner when I bought the vehicle. This likely contributed to the rubber mat coming loose and sliding forward. If not installed properly, it appears like the carpeted mat could also slide forward and may cause the accelerator to get stuck.

I leased a 2004 Toyota 4 runner in 2004 for five years and turned the vehicle back into Toyota in 2009. During the time I had the vehicle, the accelerator became stuck on the freeway which resulted in my entire family almost being killed. Fortunately, we were not hurt, but our brakes were ruined during our efforts to bring the vehicle to stop. At the time, we had the brakes replaced and our mechanic felt that somehow, the floor mat caused the problem, rather than some mechanical issue. Early in 2011, I became aware of a recall of 2004 Toyota 4 runners because of this exact problem. I have requested reimbursement for the brake repair, but Toyota has told me that they will not reimburse me, as "brakes are not covered under the recall notice". I find this extremely disturbing and feel that Toyota is avoiding taking responsbility. I have complained to their customer relations department, who have been totally uncooperative. Is this something that you can look into or help me with. It seems silly that Toyota would not accept responsbility for something that was an obvious defect, for which they admit. .
