| Description of the problem | The gas pedal on my 2007 camry got stuck also. It was brand new. It only had 1200 miles on it. I was getting on the freeway and the car just took off. I was pressing on the brakes with both feet about 1/4 mile and nothing. I thought i am going to die in this car. The car was towed to the nearest toyota dealer. They said i probably engaged the cruise control. I said i was just getting on the freeway. I told my local toyota i was afraid to even the see the car. My local called the dealer that had my car and got them to do a complete check. They then said it was the mats that got stuck. Toyota then sent out recalls for the all weather mats. I took my car to my local dealer with the recall and they told me sorry, it's only for the all weather mats. Not the cloth mats. I said but it happened to me with these mats. I came home and wrote to toyota headquarter and nothing. The dealer that did the inspections said they drove and drove that car. When i reluctantly picked up my car from them, i looked at the miles, it was 1230 miles. When the car was towed there, it had 1210. Go figure. Here i am with this death trap. I tell my family i am going to die in this car. And that i believe today. |
