| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 toyota camry that was one of the vehicles recalled. My dealer did provide me with a rental car for three days and repaired the gas pedal on 2/05/10. Today - while out on the highway and starting up a small hill, when i touched the gas pedal - it started revving up really loud, i immediately did what i have been told to do - put the brake on hard and finally the revving stopped. The car then started to drive ok again. I am concerned that -- had i not put the braked on hard - the car would have gone out of control. This is not a normal reaction ! I did call my dealer and plan to take the car back in tomorrow to have it checked again. I travel a great deal and am worried about my safety. I am reporting this in case the unforeseen should happen. Also - to date - there has been no resolution to the car mat issue. Updated 03/09/10 *bf |
