Bought my used 2000 Camry in Aug, 2008. A few months later, gas pedal started sticking when I apply pressure to accelerate after making a stop. Sometimes it happens every time I make a stop in a given day. Other times, when I'm out and about, it does not stick when I accelerate. I have to give it a little push to accelerate from the stopped position. Happens about 70% of the time. Makes no difference if it's winter or summer.
My 2000 Toyota Camry has a sticking accelerator pedal that stick when pressed, requiring excess pressure. This causes the car to lurch forward. This happens daily inconsistently. I will be reporting this to my local Toyota dealer.
Depressing the gas pedal is sometimes difficult. There appears to be a hangup or impairment in depressing it from a stop or brake operation. It happens about twice a week.
1. sudden acceleration on 2000 Toyota Camry in Nov. 2009. When it was in de-acceleration after taking an exit in ewing NJ, it suddenly accelerated like a wild horse, I totally lost control and the car crossed a red light, fortunately, there was no collision occured and the car was under control finally. 2. acceleration pedal sticking: Sometime when the gas pedal is pressed, it does not move, a big force needs to be applied to the gas pedal in order to move the pedal and start acceleration. It usually cause over shooting.
