1 Car Throttle Stuck problem

Failure Date: 01/19/2012

Stuck throttle on Jan 19th, 2012 when accelerator pressed to floor. Recovered by pulling up with foot. Tried to reproduce the same day and was able to. Took to dealer (boulder Toyota) on Jan 30th. They claimed they were unable to reproduce but thought carpet might be interfering with foot pedal and recommended I change all of carpet in car at a cost of $1200. I asked them to just trim the card around the pedal, and they told me they couldn't do that. Tried to reproduce after dealer visit and was unable. Inspected on Feb 3rd, and it appeared like carpet might have been pulled back around hole in floor. I pushed it back into position, and then tried to reproduce the stuck throttle and was able.
