Unintended acceleration o f toyota rav4 with"fixed" accelerator pedal within 50 miles of driving:0n coming to traffic stopengine revved up to an audible high speed.to prevent a collision i applied intensive pressure to brake pedal while setting hand brake.car stlill seemed to be in forward roll mode, so i pushed gear shift from drive thru neutral,reverse and into park.engine speed returned to normal idle without further incident.i then drove 40 some miles to return home.on 3/27 i took car to the dealer to report that the accelerator pedal modification was a failure.i took delivery of this new car on 7/31/09.within about 300 driving miles of accumulated mileage, the 1st unintended acceleration occurred required added pressure to brake pedal & use of hand(emergency) brake to stop car & end abnormal engine speed.gear shift remained in drive.i had 3 to 4 such incidents within approx. 2400 miles comprising 40-50 trips, none longer than 100 miles.most of my driving is highway type, which does require intermittent but infrequent traffic stops.about 200 miles occurred in city-type conditions (frequent traffic stops) which were spread over about 12 of the aforesaid trips.all the ua situationsoccurred under the city-type conditions.i made several trips to the dealer to report the incidents and to obtain help.after the 1st one the service departmentchecked the car & found nothing with the car's safe operability.i took the car back for service after the incident which was post safety recall pedal modification.the response was that this was the first that they had heard of a "fix" failure.toyota appears to cling to the sticky floor mat or simultaneous pressure to accelerator and brake pedals.
Re: run-a-way toyota vehiclescts is shipping corrected gas pedals directly to factories that make the recalled vehicles while millions of defective toyota cars remain on the road, placing toyota drivers, other drivers, and pedestrian public in great risk of death or injury. Corrected cts pedals should go first to dealers for installation in cars already on the road. Please force toyota to ship first to dealers instead of factories.
Almost everyone knows that toyota had recalled 4m cars, and one of the cars is the latest model of camry, i own 2009 camry, sent to dealer. They reset the computer, installed a brake override system, inserted a steel bar into the pedal assembly, and cut 1 in. Of the plastic shoe pedal and rounded it at the end. Now the plastic shoe pedal is not only shorter but also slippery because they rounded it. Before modification, the shoe pedal measurement is around 4.5 in x 1.5 in. Square with 2 horizontal lines at the end of the shoe pedal. (2 horizontal lines at the bottom prevent foot from slipping and square shape to have enough room for the foot to step on). Now, they cut short the shoe pedal, the measurement is 3.5 in x 1.5 in (rounded, eliminated the 2 horizontal lines), it not square anymore. I looked at others cars, honda, nissan, ford, volks, ...none of them have a shorter and rounded shoe pedals...the shoe pedal is design to have a certain length and square at the end. This is not a good call form toyota. This is not a safe. Toyota is trying to design it to prevent interfere w/ the mat, unfortunately all they have to do is to make sure that their mat is intact and clip on. I called on the dealer and complained about it...they advised me to call the toyota hotline, which i did. They said they will look into it. I am only one voice. Others might not notice it. Until it is too late. This is a concern that i think should be looked upon. Many lives have been lost already ...we do not want to add more people in the list of deaths or injuries. Please hear this message. Thank you.

I was driving our lexus es330 with my wife from nj to ct on a highway. At one point during the drive, removed my foot from the gas pedal, but instead of slowing down, the car started accelerating. In panic i started applying the brakes, but the car would not slow down at all. Fortunately, there was no other car right in front of me, otherwise it would have resulted in a messy crash. It was very scary. Eventually accelerator stopped working completely and the car stopped in lane of the highway. I can't believe toyota has not included this model in their recall list. This is ridiculous. And, i checked it then, the mat on the driver side was not stuck in the gas pedal.
I had a recall repair performed to my 2009 toyota corolla on 3/17/10 to install a reinforcement bar in the accelerator pedal.since then, i have experienced problems with the car accelerating and/or not slowing down when i take my foot off of the accelerator pedal.rather than correct a problem, the recall repair created a serious safety problem.
On 2/8/10 toyota performed a recall repair of the gas pedal on my 2010 toyota corolla. After the repair was finished, i noticed that the engine idle speed was higher and the vehicle took longer to stop when the brakes are applied.
After toyota pedal recall completed, had issue 2x with accelerator sticking and actually causing the gas pedal to be sluggish (would not accelerate).
