Consumer Description

I HAVE 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY 4 CYL LE MODEL. MANY TIMES WHEN I BEGIN MY TRIP FROM MY HOME MY CAR ACCELERATES EVEN I HAVE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. IT ONLY HAPPENS WITHIN FIRST FEW MILES AND THEN THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I HAVE A STOP SIGN CLOSE TO MY HOME AND BEFORE NEARING THE STOP SIGN I LIFT MY FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL AND CAR WILL ACCELERATE AND THEN I HAVE TO STEP ON MY BRAKES TO STOP IT BY THE STOP SIGN. IT IS VERY TRICKY IN WINTER WHEN THERE IS ICE ON ROAD. SINCE I AM AWARE OF THIS ISSUE I DO NOT STEP ON GAS AT ALL TILL I HIT THE FIRST STOP SIGN. ONCE THE CAR IS RUNNING FOR A WHILE THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY. I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MORE THAN STICKY PEDAL. SINCE THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. THAT CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH STICKY PEDAL. SINCE MY CAR IS NOT RECALLED I HOPE SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS YEAR MODEL TOO. *TR
