The description i am sending in may or may not be connected to the toyota recalls for brakes or gas pedal sticking. My experience is that everytime i step on the brake pedal i feel something move under my feet. Sometimes it feels like something is rolling under the carpet. My floor mats are snapped into place so i know that they are not moving. I plan on taking my car to a toyota dealer on thursday feb. 18, 2010.…

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. While driving at various speeds of 5 mph and up, the vehicle would drive very "bouncy," similar to driving a rocking chair, as described by the contact. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they could not duplicate the failure. Also, upon barely depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would abnormally accelerate as if she had slammed her foot on the accelerator…

Then, in jan /feb i was coming home from the gym (thankfully not on the freeway) about 9pm…

They kept denying any problems with the car, & came back to speak with the toyota representative. I went in 3 times prior to this to see if they could find a…

Regarding the acceleration surge in toyotas. We do not believe it was the floor mats! We have a 2009 corolla and last winter when it was 2 months old, the surge happened to my son when he was driving the vehicle. He had his foot totally off accelerator and nothing was caught under the accelerator. The corolla does not even have the type of mats that are considered dangerous as in the camrys and other models.…

In both instances, toyota mechanics advised they could not identify a problem. Additionally, throughout the past year, i have experienced noticeable problems with the electrical system, which raise concerns about the overall integrity of the…

They don't even document it unless we are demanding it. We have not had an accident as of yet but the spring has been put under the pedal and it still wants to take off at times. It is not consistent but frequent enough to be…
