Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2009 Toyota Camry

Accelerator gets stuck open. I took my foot off the gas and the vehicle accelerated. It would rev at high speeds when I stepped on the brake. I tried downshifting with no effect. When I finally stopped at a stoplight with both feet on the brakes the engine revved up to very high rpms, even when I put the vehicle in park. Then it finally stalled out.

I was pulling out on to the highway at a very slow speed when my accelerator stuck all of the way down to the floor. There was a Jeep next to me and he had to pull into the outside lane to avoid a collision with me. The car has been accelerating and then slowing down on its own as I am driving down the highway. The rpm's increase and the go back to the normal reading when I am driving down the road. You can hear the engine rev up higher and then go back to the original reading.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal would stick while driving. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis however, the mechanic was unable to find anything wrong with the vehicle.

Gas pedal stuck while on interstate highway I-75, traveling at 60mph. When I stepped down on the accelerator in order to pass another vehicle the accelerator pedal stuck down. The vehicle began to accelerate even after I removed my foot from the pedal. I was then able to free the pedal by wedging my foot underneath the pedal and pushing up on the pedal. This has happened after my vehicle as recalled for unintended acceleration and the safety recall repair was completed on 2/11/10.

I got the recall took my car in to be repaired and the accelerator is still sticking I am worried that over time as the vehicle ages it will not be safe to drive.

This is to inform you that the "fix" for the recall on the sticking accelerators is not 100% effective, if at all. I bought my Toyota Camry in April 2009 and instantly started having issues with my accelerator sticking. I took my car to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong and/or that what I was experiencing was the transmission being equipped to "hold you back" and save your brakes. I continued having the problem and returned to the dealer only to be told the same thing. On February 13, 2010, I had the recall work performed on my car. 3 weeks later (March 3, 2010), I experienced the sticking accelerator once again. I was under the impression that the accelerator would no longer stick after this "fix" was done. My car is less than a year old and my understanding is that this problem gets worse as the car ages. So far, I have not experienced uncontrolled acceleration, "only" a sticking accelerator, but I am concerned of what the future holds as my car ages and becomes more dangerous to drive. This sticking of the accelerator has occurred a few times a month over the last 11 months.

I own a 2009 Toyota Camry hybrid purchased new 4/3/2008. At the end of March, 2009, I had the first of four (thus far) accelerator runaway events. I was able to stop the car by applying extremely hard brake pressure with both feet, taking several seconds to stop the car as it fish-tailed wildly on the road. A couple of days later, it happened again. My car was at the dealership 4/3/2009. They told me this accelerator runaway was caused by my floor mat causing the gas pedal to stick. I removed the floor mat. Approximately 6 weeks later, the accelerator runaway event happened twice more. The floor mat was not in the car. I have called Toyota, been treated like I was delusional and then as the public outcry/press releases began later in 2009, contacted Toyota again. I finally got my scheduled recall (at my persistance--the dealerships never called me to schedule this) then after I requested details of the planned recall changes, I found out after my appointment they said my vehicle qualified only for them to cut down my gas pedal. No shim assembly to the gas pedal and no software update as I was told "you already have the most current software". Really?! my now mutilated gas pedal allows my foot to constantly slip off of it while driving as it is so small. I am scared of my vehicle as there was never a warning pre-accelerator runaway & there is no "fix" either. Not that I would trust Toyota at this point. I have copies of all service tickets, including the 4/3/2009 ticket with my complaint of the gas pedal sticking" written on it. This is available to you as well as a detailed four page letter outlining every step of my events. I sent an email & rec'd a response from you, titled notification of case change/case escalation, case no. [xxx]. I called in & spoke with a representative and he gave me a case no. Too. Telephone call case #[xxx]. Please advise my next step. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My accelerator is starting to stick a little I have finally received my recall I hope this fixes the problem I have two small kids and I am afraid to drive my car I think Toyota should take these cars back so we can get something else.
