| Description of the problem | I had my vehicle repaired based on the 2010 toyota recall notice i received about the accelerator pedal. The accelerator pedal now sometimes sticks in the half-open position and refuses to return on its own. I have used the toe of my foot to pull the pedal back to the non-accelaterating position. When the vehicle is stopped, if you touch the accelerator pedal, the rpms will increase and decrease on their own, and even if the vehicle is in park position. This does not occur every time you operate the vehicle, but randomly, and with no pattern. The accelerator pedal has 3/4 to 1 inch of "free play" before it responds and feeds gas to the engine. Obviously, this could be dangerous, especially if someone besides myself was operating the vehicle. Toyota inc does not seem to understand why their "fix" to your original recall about this does not work, or they have created an additional problem with their "fix" to the 2010 recall. |
