NHTSA Complaint #10855214 — 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY

I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THIS CAR , AND I HAVE LOVED IT UNTIL THE DAY THE ACCELERATOR DIDN'T WORK. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN, NOT USING THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL I REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE. I COASTED INTO THE NEAREST TURNOFF. THE CAR WAS RUNNING , I PUT IT INTO" PARK", WHILE STILL RUNNING I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING (FLOORMATS) BLOCKING THE PEDAL. THERE WAS NOTHING. I TRIED MASHING IT AS HARD AS I COULD, NO MOVEMENT. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED. THE PEDAL WAS OK, ACCELERATED JUST FINE. I BELIEVE I REBOOTED THE COMPUTER. I CAREFULLY DROVE TO MY MECHANIC, HE CHECKED THE "PLATES" AND OTHER POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE , THEY ADVISED TAKING IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT I COULD BRING IT IN TO BE CHECKED. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR THAT DISTANCE OVER 200 MILES ROUNDTRIP. I LATER RECEIVED A SMALL CHECK FROM "TOYOTA ECONOMIC LOSS SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR " FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT. I DID NOT CASH IT. I WAS ADVISED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL IT BUT ETHICALLY CAN NOT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT SOMEBODY KILLED OR INJURED IN IT. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND A SOLUTION. BUT THEY CLAIM THIS PROBLEM COULDN'T HAPPEN AND WERE NOT HELPFUL. IT COULD BE SOLD TO A JUNK YARD AT A LOSS BUT AGAIN, IT COULD BE SOLD FROM THERE AND DRIVEN. ANY ADVICE?
