Description of the problem | In san diego earlier this year, at night, to enter heavy ast moving traffic from on ramp floored gas pedal in 2009 toyota camry with new heavy duty floor mats, and had max runaway acceleration. Was able to stop with heavy brake pressure, hitting stop engine button didn't work. Checked everything i could and tried again, same response, called 911 and got tow truck on the way. Finally figured out floor mat had caught gas pedal and was holding it down. Pulled floor mat back into place, and then no problem. Told 911 as i recall to forget the tow truck. Got up to 40- 50 or so mph. Haven't reported this to toyota yet. |
