I detected that this seems to occur when i am coasting towards a light before a hill, that the engine will speed up on its own and begin accelerating the car. Applying pressure on the brake stopped the car in most cases, but once i ended up accelerating and could not stop the car until i hit some bushes on…

Not severe - but this is an older toyota and i want the problem logged. My car does "lurch" in sudden accelerations, but it has never been severe. I have only noticed when i am stopped at a light, and in reverse. When i am stopped with my foot on the brake, the car engine suddenly revs. But i'm always clamped down hard on the brake, so there has never been a problem there. While in reverse, i have also had sudden…

I own a 1999 toyota camry xl. My car is not on any of the recall lists, however, i do occasionally experience a sticky accelerator pedal. Since all the media coverage i've checked the floor mats, which don't seem to be related to the issue. I believe all toyota products need to have a recall to be sure all years are covered. *tr

About one year ago, i began to notice the accelerator pedal was intermittently sticky when i depress it. Sometimes i have to practically punch it with my foot before it finally gives way, causing the car to lurch forward. It continues to happen to this day. Some days it doesn't happen at all, and some days it happens every time i come to a full stop and then try to step on the gas again. I have never done anything…
