In January 2007 I received delivery on a new 2007 Toyota Corolla. In the weeks following delivery I experienced what I would describe as a stuck accelerator on several occasions. I would be driving and without apparent reason the vehicle engine would race. Following these occasions I would check to see if the mat was on the accelerator, but could not attribute the incident specifically to that. I reported these incidents to my dealer, papas Toyota, in st. Peters, mo, and they reported that they could not find a problem with the vehicle. After the first few months, the incidents seemed to stop. Because of the recent similar issues with Toyota vehicles, I believe that the 2007 model Toyota should also be evaluated.
