| Description of the problem | I lease a 2007 toyota camry. I experienced sudden acceleration when driving up a hill. Because i was on a hill i gave the car a lot of gas. However, the gas pedal seemed to go further than i intended and the car began to accelerate. I placed the car in neutral and hit the breaks, which stopped the car without incident. I had to tap the gas pedal a few times to get it to disengage. Toyota applied the gas pedal recall 'fix' a few days later. However, i am concerned that they have not correctly diagnosed the problem. It seems to me that the gas pedal went down further than i pressed it, meaning there may be some electronic or other problem rather than 'sticking.' i know you have many such complaints, but i think it is important to determine if toyota's remedy is adequate. Thank you. |
