This is in regards to a previous odi complaint that i filed on 3/5/2010. The odi number is: 10316956. I just wanted to add that this 2000 toyota camry has a standard (manual) shift transmision so when the acceleration happened we just pushed in the clutch and coasted to a stop. Turned ignition key off, pumped the gas pedal a few times, and started the car. It was fine then. This has happened to myself maybe 8 times.…

Accelerator sticks at a stand still position, or it sticks when driving at the same constant speed for longer amounts of time. To help the problem fix, i tap firmly on the accelerator a few times to unstick it. I have checked on the toyota website…

Had to pay o fix the throttle body and the news paper said this is a common problem on toyota camry's. Why does toyota not pay for the repair and re-imburse those who have already paid for this repair since the vehicle would not run properly or at all without the repair. This is a know problem and i feel the comsumer is picking up the bill for the manufacturers mistake.*ak

This has happened repeatedly starting within a couple of days of buying the car. This is particularly concerning when driving on an expressway ramp. Thus i have been avoiding driving on the expressway. Also, the brakes work abnormally.…
