“I have had this happen twice now where I try to pass someone on interstate 79 northbound from pittsburgh to cranberry township pa and press the gas pedal and once I get to speed the pedal goes to the floor and the car goes to 80 + per hour before I can get it to slow down or stop. Luckily both times there were no cars in front or behind me that I could get control of the car. The first time I ended up putting the car in neutral to get car to stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10864470, filed 2016-05, 113,000 miles“My 2009 Toyota yaris needs to be placed upon the recent recalls with Toyota. My accelerator pedal is beginning to get harder to push down, my brakes are mushy and are sometimes hard to stop the vehicle, when I have my defrosters on, the car wants to keep going and braking is harder. My radio randomly switches to am radio when its off, or on a different station. This all sounds electrical, and I have taken it to the dealer twice and been told no problems. I have an appointment next week to have it looked at again. …”
