What owners wrote

My toyota camry pedal was in the sticking position and when I went to brake the brakes would not do their job and I couldn't stop until I bumped the car in front of me. Prior to this incident, I had experienced sudden acceleration a few time over the last two and half years with this car, but never any sticking or break failure.

Reported at 36,512 miles, January 2010 CrashInjury

Toyota safety recall for floor mat repaired by toyota san diego. Gas pedal was cut down per toyota specs. Upon leaving toyota san diego twice within a fifteen min period my foot became trapped under gas pedal. Due to the wet conditions, when I accelerated the vehicle my foot was able to slip down the pedal which then sprung back trapping my foot underneath the pedal.
