| Description of the problem | Approximately one month ago,early oct., i was merging onto an expressway with my 2007 camry. As i was briskly accelerating, i noticed the gas pedal was stuck and the tachometer was registering 6000 to 7000 rpms. There was only light traffic, no one ahead of me for several hundred yards. I put the car into neutral and was able to flip the pedal up with my toe. I carefully drove home and brought the car into the toyota dealership service department the next morning. I had inspected the floor mat and saw that it was nowhere near the gas pedal. The service manager took out the floor mat and said that was the problem. Although i asked to have the linkage checked, i doubt that was done. The problem so far has not recurred. In ordinary expressway traffic this could have been disastrous. |
