I own a 2008 Toyota Camry. While driving on the expressway, the accelerator pedal became stuck. Thankfully, it was an early Sunday morning and there were very few cars on the expressway. I couldn't figure out what was going on at first when I took my foot off the gas and the car wouldn't slow down. I then thought to move the floor mat out of the way and the gas pedal became disengaged. This occurred again, however, and I took the floor mat out of my car. I thought it could have been the floor mat until I recently heard about the reports of other Toyota owners and their experience with this problem (especially the family that was killed as a result of their gas pedal sticking). Furthermore, I never received a notice from Toyota regarding this problem. A friend of mine made me aware of it. I find this appalling. I also find it appalling that Toyota is excusing itself from blame and is shifting it to the vehicles' owners.

I have a 2008 Toyota Camry v6. Early one morning I took the car to a wash and on the way back home pulling away from a stop sign the gas pedal stuck to the floor with the accelerator wide open. It took a good half block of stomping accelerator and brake to clear. Longo Toyota told me they never heard of the problem and could not find anything wrong with car.
