general problems of the 1998 Toyota Camry

When I was driving in a residential neighborhood and coming to a stop sight to make a right turn. All the sudden, the car sped up and the brake was failing. Luckily there was no car in the opposite side. I was able to pull the car to the curb. I checked the brake and was functioning. Later, I have the car towed to piercey Toyota to diagnosis and they could not find anything wrong.

Gas pedal in my 1998 Toyota Camry becomes harder to press. I have to tap my foot on the pedal to make it works. It works fine for few times and again it becomes hard. This happens everyday. I don't remember exact date when I had noticed this but it has been like that for past three years. I had not register complaint thinking it is just my model but since this has been wide spread in many Toyotas I thought I should register my incident too.

Camry gas pedal self-accelerating. We had a Toyota Camry 1998 (bought in Toyota, morristown, NJ in Feb, 1998). By about 2003, the gas pedal behaved a little funny. When the car was standing still, the gas pedal would not respond when you press on it. But it would jerk and suddenly speed up when you keep pressing on it. The problem was not like the 'popular gas pedal stuck' thing described. We lived with the problem for a few years before the car get crashed and totaled (not for the pedal reason). It was my husband's car, when I occasionally drove it, it's unsafe when I stop for traffic lights, since it suddenly sped up. But my husband was used to it.
