Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2002 Toyota Camry

I was backing out of a parking space. When I put car in drive and started turning wheel to the right, car wouldn't turn and braking did not stop car. It seemed as if accelerator was stuck. Car finally stopped when it hit parked car. Something similar happened about a year ago.

Stuck accelerator pedal 2002 Toyota Camry. I have a 2002 Toyota Camry se 4 cylinder automatic that has had the accelerator stick under the floor mat several times in the last week. I have been able to pull the mat off the accelerator so far.

While driving to work in a Toyota Camry 2002, the car in front of me slowed down and stopped for a red light. Believing that I had enough room to stop my Toyota Camry safely I applied my brakes but the car did not slow down and hit the car in front of me. There was minor damage to the vehicle that was struck but my Toyota Camry was totaled. The road condition was wet from rain but not unsafe to drive. I fully believe that I was applying the brakes with enough pressure to safely stop the car before hitting the vehiclein front of me but my Toyota Camry vehicle did not stop or slow down. Please note that traffic accident happened on December 29, 2005. A police report was filed and on file. I did not receive a ticket. Originally I thought it was just an accident until the January 2010 recall of certain model year Toyotas with the accelerator sticking.

I was turining into the parking area at my complex I attempted to slow down and applied the brakes as I normall would to turn into my parking space. As I started to brake, the car started to accelerate. I made a conscious effort to lift my foot off both pedals to be sure I was not pressing the accelorator instead of the brake. The vehicle kept accelerating. I immediately started to apply the brake, which did not slow the vehicle. When I realized that I was not slowing down, I aborted the turn into the parking space and straightened out the vehicle to avoid hitting other park cars and to give more time and distance to safely brake. The vehcile would not slow, and kept accelerating, causing it to go up and over the concrete curb/sidewalk, and right into a set of stairs at the complex. No one was injured, myself included, but the staircase, needless to say, is demolished, as is the entire front end of my Camry. Vehicle is at body shop as of now, no assessment has been done. .
