“I have a 2001 Toyota Camry where the gas pedal sticks at times. Not all the time. Is there a problem with this year/model vehicle. I have had it at my local mechanic where he lubricated the cable. It helped for a very short time. The problem is back again. Is this vehicle part of any recall with Toyota?”
NHTSA complaint #10384278, filed 2011-02, 90,000 miles“I am the 2nd owner of this car , and I have loved it until the day the accelerator didn't work. I was driving down a mountain, not using the accelerator until I reached the bottom of the hill. When I tried to accelerate the pedal would not move. I coasted into the nearest turnoff. The car was running , I put it into park , while still running I checked to see if there was something (floormats) blocking the pedal. There was nothing. I tried mashing it as hard as I could, no movement. I turned the engine off, waited a few minutes and restarted. The pedal was ok, accelerated just fine. …”

I have also been told I need to pay over $400.00 so far on this repair. I am forced to do this at this time since I need to pass the emissions and be able to drive the car.
