At a stop sign, a warning light came on. From that point, the vehicle at speeds under ca. 40 mph surged faster then slower in a jerky sort of fashion. At speeds above 50 it seemed to drive normally. The dealer said the vehicle was undriveable until the accelerator pedal assembly was replaced. It was replaced at my expense. Toyota has repeatedly refused reimbursement. *tr

On i-5, in the fast lane outside portland, oregon without warning the car lost all power. I was able to drift to the side of the road but was still in traffic. When i reached a repair shop they diagnosed the problem as a chip failure in the gas pedal. This could have happened anywhere, without gas the car just stops, and the result could be far more serious. *tr

It takes a fair amount of pressure when pressing down on the gas pedal to get it to release from the stuck position and allow the pedal to further depress for proper acceleration. When the gas pedal finally does release after applying…

This is a common problem and a few of my friends have had to pay twice to get this fixed. The other issue is there a defective part in the steering linkage that pops when you turn.
