I call it semi new because it was a used 2009 with only a few thousand miles. It was a car my husband has been wanting since we drove a 2007 Camry as a rental  a few years back.

The day after we purchased the car, the story broke on Good Morning America about the sticking gas pedal. Although we have not had any problems with the car, from recent stories covered on the news, I am able to tell that we do have a faulty gas pedal. I check the following site daily for updates.

Toyota Recall Information

In addition to the latest updates, on this site you will find videos on the following:

  • Stopping Procedure -Learn the proper procedure for bringing your vehicle to a safe stop if you experience a sticking accelerator pedal.
  • Pedal Assembly – A steel reinforcement bar eliminates the excess friction that can cause the pedal to stick.
  • Floor Mat Entrapment – The potential risk for floor mat entrapment of accelerator pedals in certain Toyota models.

Since it is such a popular vehicle, I know there are  many others out there in a similar situation.

Drive Safely.
