| Description of the problem | 2002 toyota corolla le acceleration pedal: --occasionally, but rarely, appears to stick momentarily (a sensation like a spring that has temporarily stuck and then sprung loose). I took it into my toyota dealer but they said there was nothing wrong that they could detect. Therefore nothing has been done to correct the mystery. The sticking/springing sensation still occasionally occurs but it is very hard to predict when it will. --it seems to happen shortly after starting up. I am concerned because i do not want the acceleration problems that have occurred with other toyotas. The date of the first incident, listed below (mar 5, 2002), is approximate. The vehicle was purchased oct. 2001. |
