Consumer Description

2002 TOYOTA COROLLA LE ACCELERATION PEDAL: --OCCASIONALLY, BUT RARELY, APPEARS TO STICK MOMENTARILY (A SENSATION LIKE A SPRING THAT HAS TEMPORARILY STUCK AND THEN SPRUNG LOOSE). I TOOK IT INTO MY TOYOTA DEALER BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG THAT THEY COULD DETECT. THEREFORE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE MYSTERY. THE STICKING/SPRINGING SENSATION STILL OCCASIONALLY OCCURS BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO PREDICT WHEN IT WILL. --IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN SHORTLY AFTER STARTING UP. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURRED WITH OTHER TOYOTAS. THE DATE OF THE FIRST INCIDENT, LISTED BELOW (MAR 5, 2002), IS APPROXIMATE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED OCT. 2001. *TR
