While merging into the left lane on the meadowbrook pkwy. , my 2010 Toyota Corolla with (8,300 miles at the time), accelerator stuck. This was the first time this happened. I panicked, looked down, and saw the pedal stuck all the way down. After a few seconds I jammed on the brakes, & the pedal released. I do not believe this was due to the floor mat. My mat was not on the accelerator. This car from the beginning had "poor pick-up". By that, I mean it was very slow while trying to merge onto pkwy's to the point that I always had to floor it. I also from time to time heard a very slight click while stepping on the acc. Pedal. But for the first time, it actually stuck on me. I owned a 2005 Corolla before this car, & it was noting like this current car. I also owned a 1999 camry, & a 2003 4-runner. Until now, I never had a problem.

My Toyota Corolla accelerator stuck after the dealer fix it.

I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla with a serial number starting with a "j". Toyota told me my car isn't part of the recall. I have experienced two occasions where the accelerator pedal has been stuck. Once when the car was in park about two months ago and I though it was the floor mat so I switched out floor mats since my car was not part of the recall. Then on sat, 3/13/10 I was merging on to the highway and I pressed down hard on the gas pedal to speed up because a car was beside me. All of the sudden the pedal was stuck and I continued to speed up when I let pressure off the gas pedal. I put my foot on the brake and the car wasn't stopping. Thinking I wasn't pressing hard enough I put both feet on the petal still not even slowing down. Finally, I shifted the car into neutral and could still hear the engine revving but the car slowed down quickly. Thinking that I was imaging it when the car slowed enough I shifted it back to drive and it took off again without pressing the gas pedal. I quickly shifted it back into neutral and was wondering what I was going to do and I heard a loud pop or snap with the gas pedal and then the car was fine. It stopped accelerating on it's own without me turning off the car. I checked the floor mat and it wasn't stuck. I called the Toyota dealership and they are looking at the problem but said they have been instructed not to fix anything if they can't replicate the problem because it's not part of the recall as the car I have was made in japan. I also called the Toyota general line and reported the problem. My concern is that my car won't be fixed as the warranty runs out at 30,000 miles and I have 29,000 miles on my car and the recall doesn't cover my model. I am nearly certain that Toyota hasn't recalled all of the car affected because it's not the specific gas pedal that's the problem as my car doesn't have the identified gas pedal. The problem isn't related to the gas pedal. I don't think they know what the problem is.

I bought a new 2010 Corolla and was told all recalls where fixed. My gas pedal stuck coming home from work I called the dealer ship they checked there records and found that my car did not get fixed.

2010 Toyota Corolla accelerator was stuck at 40 miles per hour. Just missed hitting another car on the entrance ramp in front of me. This car was supposedly fixed by westbury Toyota in westbury, NY on February 9th. The car was brought back to the dealer today, March, 10,2010. Where the dealer told me that owners are making this whole problem up, and tried to charge me $100,00 for an electronic diagnostics test on the car. He also refused to give me a loaner car or rental car at Toyota's cost while they checked the car out for a sticking accelerator pedal problem because the recall "fix" was already done on this vehicle. Obviously the "fix" did not work at all. I am afraid to drive this vehicle because it could happen again with fatal results.

My sister was driving when she was about to park the car in a parking lot when the accelerator got stuck and she was not able to step on the brake pedal when it crash a tube. Which she proceeded to report to the insurance agency and did the report and call the police, but police said had to call the insurance. This was the first time that this had happen when using the car. Then I took the car to a Toyota agency to have the car be fix by this factory default. Which they told me were only going to fix the factory issue with the pedal but wouldn't fix the front bumper damage that the car presents because of the crash. I didn't agree in that since this was the car factory defect which led to the crash and the agency had to be responsible for the damage of the car and all that involves. Which I contact directly Toyota and they only told me to access this website to do the complaint online.

Since purchasing my 2009 Corolla I had to have a belt change, I had an issue with the accelerator pedal they stated was my floor mat, and then my accelerator pedal would stick. The problem with the accelerator pedal would include times of low acceleration to the pedal sticking in the depressed position even if my foot was off the accelerator. In addition, since the snow is greater this year giving me a better idea how it handles in the snow I have encountered a dangerous problem that scares me. I wrote to Toyota about it on 2/24/10 and today 2/26/10. Below is my last e-mail to them. "driving in the snow 2/25/10 I encountered several times when the traction control kicked in and I had power loss to the vehicle. It happened even on the highways. The car would slow to almost a stop. I pressed and pressed on the accelerator picking up my foot and putting down at times to see if it would help but it would continue to slow or have total power loss where I could not go. It was as if I had no power to the accelerator. The pedal was limp. It is very dangerous, especially on a highway! driving and having the car then slow or stop or almost stop to where I can't go is dangerous, please help!!!!! again, in the drop down menu below for the sub-type of vehicle Corolla is not listed as a category.

On February 15, 2010, I drove my 2010 Toyota Corolla for a short errand near my home. I stopped at a red light. When the light turned green, I proceeded to make a right turn. To keep the car under control, I gently pressed on the accelerator a little then pressed gently on the brake. When I removed my foot from the brake to return to normal speed, the car immediately accelerated without my touching the accelerator. I pushed hard on the brake and stopped the car. Then the car returned to normal operation. All this occurred within 10 minutes of leaving my home. At no time did I go more than 25mph. The pavement was dry. The car has less than 250 miles on the odometer. No, I have not received any letter from Toyota about the recall. After the incident, I called their customer service in CA. Their response, oops I should have gotten a letter but admitted none was sent. They will contact my dealer. 2 observations about the experience, if my hard braking did not work the car would have kept accelerating, the surge was powerful. Also, the engine did not rev, the car just seemed to get a signal to accelerate to a certain speed. Yes, the experience was scary and dangerous. Before, I was willing to give Toyota the benefit of the doubt, but it's hard to see how my gas pedal would get stuck after 240 driven miles. Please, do your job. Toyota should permanently take back any care experiencing this acceleration. These cars should be permanently off the road.
