Description of the problem | My 2009 toyota matrix was on the recall list for gas pedals that may stick or accelerate without cause. I took the car into rice toyota in greensboro nc where it was purchased. They performed the recommended repair on feb. 13, 2010. On feb. 22, i started my car and it accelerated without cause. The floor mat was in its proper position. I tapped the gas pedal lightly to "unstick" it. This did not work. I turned off the engine and waited a few minutes and restarted it without incident. I had not had any problems with this car prior to the "fix" and haven't had any since the feb. 22 incident. Now what do i do?? I've contacted the dealership. They are willing to look at it but have said there isn't anything they know that is causing this and told me to contact toyota. I will do that today if i can get through. |
