Almost constantly, for several years, on my 2004 Camry 4 cyl xle the gas pedal is rough. When trying to start out the pedal is difficult to depress. Then all of a sudden the car will go. It creates quite a jerk. I have removed floor mats but this does not help. It's like even though I'm pressing the gas pedal it is stuck and then goes. It happens regardless of who drives. With all the pedal issues I'm beginning to think it may be more cars than are now recalled.

Acceleration on my 2004 Toyota Camry began to fluctuate wildly while I was driving down the road. Car would suddenly accelerate, then decelerate almost non-stop. I shut engine off, called Toyota and had the car towed in. I was told that the engine control module (ecm) was defective and would be replaced under a federally mandated warranty - car had 76,000 miles, and warranty was good to 80,000 miles. However they also told me that the accelerator pedal assembly had simultaneously failed. That would cost me $681. Toyota's own technician said that the ecm failure caused the accelerator pedal assembly to fail. Toyota corporate, however, told me that the two incidents were unrelated. After reading about the "accelerator pedal sticking" problem in the news lately, I wonder if my problem is not part of a much larger problem involving the ecm on Toyotas cars. If I was not wise enough to shut off my engine when the problem occurred, a serious accident could easily have occurred. Please continue to investigate the ecm problem, as I believe that Toyota is not forthcoming with the full story here. The consumer also stated there weas an engine knock coming from the vehicle. The dealer repalced the tensioner, and belt. The water pump was wearing prematurely, there was a noise coming from the steering column when turning the wheel.

I own a 2004 Toyota Camry. I have had two accidents in it. Both times the car failed to brake but accelerated instead. No one believed me that the accelerator peddle stuck instead of braking. My insurance paid for repair both times (except for the $500 deductibles). However, as a result my insurance carrier of 15 years dropped me and I was forced to take out insurance that cost me more than three times as much for coverage. I believe the accelerator peddle stuck but the 2004 model is not included in the call back. Do I have any grounds for pursuing this?.
