Accelerator Stuck problems of the 1998 Toyota Camry

We have a 1998 Toyota Camry in which the accelerator sometimes sticks after the vehicle has been driven and comes to a stop for a stop sign, red light, etc. The accelerator seems to be allowed to be depressed a very miniscule amount and then it stops or gets stuck. If you push down hard at this point it clicks, releases, and the accelerator is allowed to continue to be depressed as far as you wish. When it clicks it is as if it pops over whatever it was stuck on.

I own a 1998 Toyota Camry. Over the past 3 years, (this being year #3), I have had my gas pedal serviced because it sticks, usually after stops and while in traffic if I take my foot off the accelerator and re-engage. Toyota does not have my vehicle on the list and it should be! as of this date, my accelerator is sticking again and I will have to ,again, pay for it. I think this problem goes beyond the current limitations of the existing recall list and should be investigated. Furthermore, I did not receive a letter regarding this recall NHTSA 01v012000- "vehicle speed control" and according to my VIN#, I should have.

I drive a 1998 Toyota Camry ce. The accelerator pedal sticks when trying to accelerate on a daily basis. This occurs when accelerating from an idle, low rpm, or low mph. The sticky accelerator can be cured by coming off the pedal 100% and gradually depressing it again. For some reason, the accelerator pedal does not stick the 2nd time. Please advise how I should deal with this potentially dangerous issue.

My mother's 1998 Toyota Camry experienced the gas pedal sticking on her car on a regular basis, in 2006, to the point that the car would not go after attempting to take off after a stop or after starting up the car. This was experienced over a 3 month period wherein it would take anywhere from 5-10 minutes before the gas pedal would work to take off from the stop point. This continued until 12/06 at which time the gas pedal would not accelerate at all while sitting at a red light on a busy highway in the middle of traffic. She attempted to take off from the stop point for over 30 minutes until someone phoned the police to report that she was in the middle of the highway and could not take off. The police showed up and attempted to accelerate the car with no success. The car was then pushed to an auto repair shop who repaired the gas pedal. She was charged $50 for the repair. The Toyota recall covers only the cars from 2007-2010, but this problem exists on cars prior to 2007 as this is what happened to my mother's 1998 Camry. This needs to be addressed by Toyota on models pre-2007 as there is uncertainty that the repair to my mother's gas pedal is a permanent fix.

Gas pedal sticks. One day driving down the road coming from a complete stop from a red to green light the vehicle would not accelerate, so I had to push down hard on the gas pedal to make the car go. This is a known issue for 98 Camry's. This is very dangerous coming from 0 mph going to an unknown speed trying to get the vehicle to move and consumes a lot of gas when this happens. Toyota needs to look into this for a recall.

Accelerator pedal frequently sticks causing car to surge when driver depresses pedal. Rear seat belts do not retrack. Toyota advised that they do not warranty their seat belts after 36,00 miles. I believe the problem was contributed by frequently using child seats.
