Defect SummaryToyota is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 avalon, model year 2007-2010 camry, model year 2009-2010 corolla, corolla matrix, rav4, model year 2010 highlander, model year 2008-2010 sequoia, and model year 2007-2010 tundra vehicles. due to the manner in which the friction lever interacts with the sliding surface of the accelerator pedal inside the pedal sensor assembly, the sliding surface of the lever may become smooth during vehicle operation. in this condition, if condensation occurs on the surface, as may occur from heater operation (without a/c) when the pedal assembly is cold, the friction when the accelerator pedal is operated may increase, which may result in the accelerator pedal becoming harder to depress, slower to return, or, in the worst case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position.
Consequence SummaryThe accelerator pedal may become hard to depress, slow to return to idle, or, in the worst case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryDealers will install a reinforcement bar in the accelerator pedal which will allow the pedal to operate smoothly. gm will notify owners for the pontiac vibe please see 10v-018. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin early february and will be completed in late april 2010. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Defect SummaryToyota is recalling certain model year 2004-2010 passenger vehicles. the accelerator pedal can get stuck in the wide open position due to its being trapped by an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat.
Consequence SummaryA stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
Corrective SummaryToyota filed an amended defect report on november 25, 2009, stating that dealers will modify the accelerator pedal and, on certain vehicles, alter the shape of the floor surface under the pedal. these changes address the risk of pedal entrapment due to interference with the floor mat. redesigned accelerator pedals will become available beginning in april 2010 and dealers will replace any modified pedal with the new pedal if desired. also, dealers will replace any genuine toyota or lexus all-weather floor mats with redesigned all-weather mats, or repurchase the previous mats from owners who do not want the new ones. additionally, software modifications will be installed on camry, avalon and lexus es 350, is 350 and is 250 models that will ensure that the brake overrides the accelerator in the event both brake and accelerator pedals are applied. toyota will begin mailing letters to owners in december 2009. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331, lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

 I started my truck up yesterday just randomly to go to the store. as soon as i started it a bunch of warning lights went off. the check engine light was on, the 4wd lo light was blinking, the vsc off light was blinking, and the traction control light was on. i then turned the vehicle off and let it sit for a few minutes. i turned the truck back on and the same warning lights were still on. i then pulled out of my driveway to go to a friends house who has a little computer that tells you what errors are going off when your check engine light is on like an autobody. as i pulled onto the main road and pressed on the accelerator the truck would barely go. the engine sounded like it usually does but the truck would hardly accelerate. when i finally got to my friends house he plugged the computer in and it gave me an error code of p2440. once i looked more into it i found that it was the air induction pump that was malfunctioning. further research online i found thousands of people have had the same problem with tundra's with mileage between 40k and 60k. my biggest concern is why the vehicle is not accelerating like it supposed to. many other people have the same concern. that is a huge safety hazard to me. what would happen if that would just all of a sudden shut my engine down to the slow crawl that it is doing if i am on a turnpike in heavy traffic. i would believe that there would definitely be an accident which i am sure it has happened before. i am just wondering if there is anything that can be done or maybe something that has already been done. like a recall that i am not aware of. *tr

 2007 toyota tundra double cab accelerator stuck wide open. upon getting on an on ramp the toyota truck accelerator stuck wide open. i slammed my foot against the accelerator and brake trying to get it unstuck with no success. by the time i hit 90 mph i ended up putting the car in neutral at which time the engine ran all the way up to its top rpm while hitting the rev limiter. i then shut the vehicle off and coasted to a stop. the floor mat was not interfering and this was probably one of the most frightening experiences of my life. stranded along the highway i had no choice but to cautiously restart the vehicle. restarting the vehicle resulted in the throttle returning to its normal position. this happened saturday afternoon.

 Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota tundra. i had my tundra run away with me twice; both times it occurred when i went to passing gear while in cruise control. prospect motors in jackson ca looked into the problem and said it was the floor mat. i argued with the service guy, but he wouldn't listen. i know for sure that during the first occurrence that the floor mat was secured. and i would bet that it wasn't the issue with the second incident. i use cruise control a lot but no longer leave it on when using passing gear. the first time incident, i was able to regain speed control by stomping on both the brake and gas petals. i was never able to regain speed control during the second incident. i had to stand on the brake pedal with both feet and pull against the steering wheel while trying to get off to the side of the road safely. once off the road i was able to turn off the engine. we almost crashed into the oncoming traffic. any information or help would be greatly appreciated. i have no faith in toyota's remedy for this problem. the failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 33,000. updated 03/10/10 *bf the consumer requested that no changes be made to his complaint. updated 05/10/10

 I was behind a car making a left turn with the left blinker clearly on, i had slowed to about 10 or 15 mph and was about 1 or 2 car lengths behind the car. i applied the brakes and the truck went to a full throttle condition... i glanced down to see if my foot was on the gas??? it was fully on the brake i then stood on the brake pedal but with the full throttle it continued forward until i hit the car and pushed it like a bulldozer. my truck continued about 20 before finally stopping. about 2 weeks before this incident i had a similar incident while on a down ramp with a car at least 20 car lengths in front of me. i applied the brake and it took off??? i questioned myself as to what had happened? it acts like the resume button is pressed for cruise control but i did not have cruise on either time. in reading toyotas description of the problem they say... sticking and or hard to press on the pedal i have not had any of those problems.in talking with toyota i was asked what i thought the problem might be and i said i think the cruise control module might be involved. it has an input from the gas pedal, an input from the brake pedal and an output to the throttle positioner. it is my feeling that there are more problems than just a gas pedal issue. *tr

 Christmas eve 2008 my wife and i were driving our 2007 toyota tundra from bel air maryland to ladson, sc. just outside of colonial hts, va., i took the tundra out of cruise control because i was approaching a tractor trailer in front of me but the tundra kept accelerating toward the semi. i had to stand on the brake with both feet to slow the tundra down so i could move into the right lane and eventually stop it on the right shoulder of i95. i tried to call aaa but was unable to correctly dial my cell phone as i was still too excited due to the rush of adrenaline i had experienced. my wife and i thought the problem was related to the cruise control so once i calmed down we continued our drive to sc. the next morning i took the truck into the ladson or summerville toyata dealer who kept it that day and finally called to say nothing was wrong. at the time i still thought it was a cruise control issue but now i believe it was part of the toyota accelerator problem. i still have the truck and have not experienced another incident since the one in december 2008*cw

 My 2007 toyota tundra hesitates when you are stopped at a light making a turn or slowly rolling around a corner and making a sharp turn. no matter how much gas is given it retards it self and then lurch once the wheels start to straiten up. i was told it is a computer issue due to the antislip features. but it is gross over correction at best. and dangerous for sure. *tr

 I just noticed others had complaints about this issue too on your site. i brought it to the attention of the dealer and they had no fix except to remove one or the other although the standard clip does not work well with their mudder mats. i was entering the highway from the ramp and pressed down to accelerate to move into traffic and the truck accelerated as hard and fast as it could. i found myself having to weave through traffic like i was in a nascar race. when i finally found a clear path to the shoulder i swerved onto it and shut the truck off. it would not slow down and i could not shift into neutral. i had to be going about 60 at the top of the onramp and well over 100, probably faster, when i finally was able to shut it off. i got out of the truck to take a break and calm down and upon returning to the truck i noticed that the mudder mats i bought from a toyota site slipped forward enough to wedge itself under the gas pedal. i stay aware of the position of the mat more frequently now and keep it slid back but there is no restraint for it that will go thru both the floor liner that protects more of the floor area and the mudder mat on top of it. i bought both at the tundra parts site. i hope that there will be some warning for others made big and dramatic enough to bring attention to this problem to avoid having this happen to another. i was very lucky to have survived this. *tr

 Toyota 2007 tundra twice accelerated uncontrollably due to a stuck accelerator on the factory floor mats, which are a very thick rubber and don't come with safety clips. mat was moved back but fear it may slide forward again. *tr

 The physical pedal seems to stick when pressure is reduced (slowing or decelerating) but pops free once most of the pressure has been released. this has happened several times in the past year and a half. i did not return it to the dealer, instead i was able to remove the pedal assembly and apply several drops of wd40 to the pivot shaft and bushing. after working the pedal a few times and re-installing back into the vehicle, the pedal seemed to operate normally for up to 4 to 5 months before starting to stick once more. note: the vehicle never accelerated on its own nor did the pedal not return to the idle position. *tr

 While driving at approx. 55mph the accelerator pedal on my 2007 toyota tundra suddenly dropped to the floor below my right foot. my truck accelerated to full throttle. the cruise control was not on. the accelerator was not stuck to the floor mat. the truck accelerated at a rapid pace and nearly ran into the rear of the vehicle in front of me on the roadway. i attempted to stop the vehicle by tapping on the brakes, then the accelerator and turning the cruise control button off even though the cruise was already off. nothing responded and the truck continued to accelerate to a dangerous speed. the accelerator was floored and would not move. i had to maneuver around the vehicle in front of me and several that passed going the opposite direction quickly. the truck was gaining speed at an incredibly rapid pace. i continued to brake the truck in an attempt to stop the vehicle and prevent loosing control. i then attempted to down-shift the transmission. this caused the engine to rev uncontrollably. the same happened when shifted into neutral in an attempt to turn the engine off with the key. the rpm's were revving so high that i feared the engine would blow up. i pulled my truck into a boat parking area on the roadside and slammed on the brakes while putting the truck into neutral and turning the engine key to off. the engine, brakes and transmission were all smoking from the stress and high rpm's. i had experienced a similar uncontrollable acceleration about six months prior (jan. 2008) to this one but was able to recover quickly by hitting the brakes and presumed that it was something wrong with the cruise control. toyota replaced the accelerator pedal sensor assy but would not say whether this was the cause of the uncontrollable acceleration. they said that it was possibly caused by the aftermarket floor mats that i purchased at the dealership. unfortunately, the pedal dropped from under my foot without my intervention. toyota has not responded to my calls. *tr

 2007 toyota tundra dc 5.7l limited. i was driving on the freeway and i went to pass another vehicle when i got into the next lane and another car changed lanes in front of me and i was forced to slam the brakes. the abs system engaged and slowed vehicle down , but the truck felt like it was being pushed forward... by this time i had enough room in front of me, so i let off the brakes and the truck jumped like i was holding my foot on the gas. i almost hit the car in front of me again. i slammed on the y brakes again and the abs system kicked in, and the truck was still trying to accelerate, but i held the brake hard enough that i didn't hit the car in front of me. at this point i had to do something. i stuck the truck in neutral and tried to get to the side of the freeway. when i got stopped i had 3 lights on ., brake, vsc, and a picture of a car with 2 crooked lines on it. i believed it was traction control. by now the truck was normal again but the lights were on so i took the truck straight to the dealer . *ak
