| Description of the problem | My car is camry, 2007. I had an accelerator pedal fault experience on the way home from new york city to boston at night on july 05, 2009. My wife and my mother in law were in the car. The camry suddenly lost of power after i tried to accelerate speed by pressing a little on the accelerator pedal. We were on uphill, not steep, just regular on i-84, 90 miles away from boston at that moment, the speed was 60 mile/h. The reason i tried to accelerate was i found my car could not run faster than 60 mile/h when it went uphills on the trip. I saw the speed slowly drop from 60 to 34 on the top of the hills. Then i tried to speed it up every downhill before the next up uphill. Finally we made up get home. The next day, july 06, 2009 i brought my car to toyota at watertown, ma. After inspection, i was told my car lost memory. My car got re-calibration. Now car is running well. But since there were much failure report related to the accelerator pedal for toyota cars, so i reported this failure with my car to you as reference. Below are some check information : a auto transmission feels harsh shifting won't go over 60 mph. Cause: ecm calibration update. Action: eg8025 ecm calibration enhancement shifting performance.
