While driving at speeds between 55 and 60 mph, the car- without my foot near the accelerator- experienced a surge in acceleration. This happened at a time after i was using cruise control but had turned it off because i was coming too close to the car in front of me and needed to slow down. As i released my foot off the accelerator and moved it to the break, the engine revved dramatically. Once speeds reached over…

Vehicle continues to have acceleration problem after recall performed. When slowing down - without gas or braking - at 20-25mph it speeds up to maintain that speed (maybe more) and becomes difficult to brake - as though it wants to continue at speed. This happens frequently and is easy to recreate - just slow down and watch it go.... It's dangerous - i have almost rear-ended other cars on a few occasions. Have appt…

When i tried to bring the car to be checked and worked on, he said not come till he called when he was ready. For 1-2…

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. *cn

This mainly happens while going downhill and it causes a forward motion jerk in the car that is felt by all passengers. I have had the recall regarding the metal accelerator patch, fixed. I have also taken my car into the…

Even when the car was new i always noticed that there are times when i am slowing down to stop and put on the brakes, i feel the car surges before it stops. We complained about it that time when the camry/lexus floor mat incidents were in the news. I think there was a recall for that and our brakes were fixed by the dealership. But the problem persists to this day. I also feel an engine surge on my sister's new 2013…
