I have a 2000 toyota camry. It is not in the recall but it should be. The gas pedal sticks and has for years. This car has been back to the dealer for repairs but they were not successful. Toyota may need to expand their recall. I have been told by the local toyota dealer that the vin number on my car is not one of the current recalls so they will not pay to fix it. *tr

Depressing the gas pedal is sometimes difficult. There appears to be a hangup or impairment in depressing it from a stop or brake operation. It happens about twice a week. *tr

I have a 2000 toyota camry. I have taken this car in for required servicing and reported to the service technician that the gas pedal was sticking. This is noticed after i have stop and then step on the gas pedal to go. The gas pedal sticks on the top so there is a jerking action when i start off. I have paid close attention to how close i stop behind other autos so that i do not hit them in the rear if it jerks…

2000 camry le, 4 cy accelerates going down hills. It seems to this driver that accelerator going down hills for this model is too rapid. For example, while driving on narrow mountainous curve in 2009, i had problems holding the car steering wheel steady and was forced to suddenly brake hard so that the car did not go over the steep mountain ridge that most probably would have caused my death, as well as the…

Bought my used 2000 camry in aug, 2008. A few months later, gas pedal started sticking when i apply pressure to accelerate after making a stop. Sometimes it happens every time i make a stop in a given day. Other times, when i'm out and about, it does not stick when i accelerate. I have to give it a little push to accelerate from the stopped position. Happens about 70% of the time. Makes no difference if it's winter…

The gas pedal has a spot that sticks when you depress it. If you push quickly or sort of "smack" the pedal with your foot, you can get past the sticking spot. This has been happening for about the past year or maybe even longer. It is very difficult to depress. This happens every time we drive the car, it has never been repaired. *tr

About two years ago (2008), when starting off from say a stop light, i would press the gas pedal & nothing would happen for a second or two, then the car would jerk ahead. This did not happen all the time. This problem occurred over a six month period or so. A mechanic (not toyota) told me the housing for the accelerator cable was corroded and needed to be replaced. This he did and i have had no problem since. Cost…

I went to my mechanic two years ago to report that my toyota camry 2000 had an accelerator sticking problem. They could not find the problem, assumed it was the mat, or my imagination. It wasn't. The problem still occurs but toyota is only covering the last 7 years, is this because of warranty? What can i do? Car is otherwise fine. *tr

Vehicle has a high idle until it warms up. In the morning it could go to 1 1/2 to 2 rpm's. I can pull out of my parking spot without ever touching the gas pedal. Once at a set of lights it still is revving. It does not go down to 0 rpm's even at the lights, when i'm at a complete stop. Had it checked several times at toyota on morrissey blvd,they performed a diagnostic and found the idleair control valve…

I have similar problem with my 2000 camry. For at least 3 years now--when after a stop, when i step on the accelerator, nothing happens until i tap it down a couple of times--then it accelerates. Almost like you have to punch the gas pedal a couple of times to get it to "take." dangerous when you expect to accelerate and do not. My son and i have both experienced this problem with the car, and upon doing research…

I was on the highway within city limits driving at about 45 mph. I realized the vehicle i was approaching had slowed down or had stopped due to merging traffic. I had more than the necessary amount of clearance ahead. I applied brakes. However, brakes did not slow down the vehicle by any significant amount -- it appeared as if the engine was continuing to accelerate or maintain its speed. I crashed into the vehicle…
