NHTSA Complaint #10302578 — 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY

WE BOUGHT OUR CAMRY 2000 10 YRS AGO WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW. AFTER 2-3 YEARS, WE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE GAS PEDAL STICKING ONCE EVERY FEW MONTHS, SOMETHING LIKE SUDDENLY LOST THE POWER WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY. SINCE LAST YEAR, THE GAS PEDAL STARTED TO GET MUCH WORSE AND STICKS ALMOST EVERY TIME WE STOP/RESTART THE CAR BEFORE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. NOW MY WIFE AND I ARE VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND BELIEVE IT WILL CAUSE HUGE PROBLEM SOONER OR LATER. I JUST READ THE NEWS ABOUT TOYOTA'S RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND NOW I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO THE VEHICLE DESIGN WHICH HAS CAUSED THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I JUST CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME ONLY CAMRY 2007 TO 2010 MODELS WERE COVERED. BUT I BELIEVE OUR CAR HAS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE LATER MODEL AND I WOULD REQUEST YOUR ADMINISTRATION TO ADVICE TOYOTA TO ISSUE THE RECALL CERTIFICATE FOR PREVIOUS MODELS ALSO BEFORE ANY UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT HAPPENS DUE TO ITS FAULTY DESIGN. *CN
