Accelerator is getting stuck repeatedly in my 1999 Toyota Camry. When the accelerator is stuck I have to either force harder on the pedal or I have to release my foot and then hit the accelerator again with a greater force to remove the pedal from the stuck position causing the vehicle to accelerate highly when the pedal gets released and with my greater force on pedal. I have been running the vehicle like this for sometime but this issue is frequently happening so I wanted to bring this issue to your notice as a safety problem with the 1999 Toyota Camry car. Because of this issue I don't drive my kids in this car and I am concerned about the safety of myself and the passengers in it.
At times when I come to a stop (traffic, stop light, stop sign, etc. ) or slow down in my 1999 Toyota solara I have trouble accelerating from the idle speed(s). When I press down on the gas pedal to accelerate it sticks. It won't move unless I apply more pressure which causes my car to jerk or "peel out". This situation does not occur at every acceleration but does occur frequently. When this situation happens I do not feel safe. There has been a few occurrences where the roads where wet and I experienced this problem. When my car finally accelerated the tires" spun out" which caused my car to move violently. This incident is not similar to that of which is in the Toyota gas pedal recall but I urge you to look into this matter to see if it should also be included.
I have a 1999 Toyota Camry, le, that the gas pedal continually sticks. I have to hold the gas pedal when it sticks and press down, sometimes hard, on the gas pedal to continue forward. My daughter has driven the car and almost was rear ended when she couldn't get the car to move.
1999 Toyota Camry le with j in the VIN. Accelerator has begun to stick. Hard to press down on gas.
Accelerator pedal sticks when trying to accelerate from a dead stop or slow roll. Sometimes it takes a hard stomp to break free or to hold down brake pedal and accelerator pedal at same time when stopped at light or stop sign. Personally checked components associated with pedal but cannot find anything out of the ordinary. Seems to stick when engine is up to operating temperature.
1999 Toyota Camry solara se, not v6, accelerated without stepping on acceleration and hit a wall. Accelerator pedal did not stick, but acceleration continued. No other vehicle was hit, I crashed into a wall.
The contact owns a 1999 Toyota Camry. While driving (mph unknown) the accelerator pedal would stick. The dealer repaired the speed control actuator; however, the failure continued to occur. There is a recall for the vehicle speed control (NHTSA campaign id #01v012000). The dealer stated that her VIN was not included. The current mileage was 30,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.
I purchased a new Toyota Camry in November 1999. In 2004 (the car has fewer than 45,000 miles on it), while traveling on a local highway, the accelerator became "stuck". Luckily, we were traveling at a low rate of speed, because we had just accelerated after leaving a red light. The driver (a friend) kept her wits and put the car in neutral, then steered into an empty lot where she shut off the engine. At this point the car's rpms were "redlining". When I called Toyota to report the incident I was told that I was at fault - that I should have had the accelerator serviced. I asked if there were instructions in the owners manual that warned owners to have the accelerator serviced. Did the owners manual disclose that the accelerator would stick? the answer was no. I then contacted Toyota by email and fully described what had happened. They assigned me a case number and sent me a coupon for $500 off my next Toyota. Needless to say I got rid of the car. Until 2005 I kept all the information, but my home was flooded in katrina and I no longer have the documents. When I heard about the recalls I felt that someone should know that this accelerator problem has existed for a very long time and Toyota was very aware of it. The Toyota dealership did repair work for the problem.
The accelerator pedal sticks and must be "punched" after stopping. This occurs every time that I drive the car no matter what the conditions. Can result in accident.
The gas pedal sticks when you first start and then drive the vehicle. The manufacturer knows this and suggest cleaning the throttle body every 15000 miles. They charge $25 to do this if that is all you have done. When the problem occurs you have to press down on the gas pedal hard to get it to release. This is obviously very dangerous. I have told my Toyota dealer many times about this problem. The problem seams to alleviate itself after you have driven a few miles. The incident date below is just one date this occurred. It is a constant problem. I also own a 1993 Toyota Camry and it has the same problem.
