[this incident has also been reported to Toyota - case # [xxx].] I exited parking lot and turned left to travel North on two-lane street at 5 pm. Immediately after entering the lane, my car began to decelerate. I pressed the accelerator, and it was stuck in position. I tapped the pedal, at which point the pedal locked in the down position, and the car raced forward, with tires screeching. I immediately hit the brakes and put in car in neutral. The engine continued to rev at 5000-6000 RPM while I pulled off to the shoulder on the right. After putting the shift into park, I reached down with my hand, noted there was no carpet interfering with the pedal, yet it was stuck in the downward position. I pulled back a few times and was able to free the accelerator pedal movement, at which point the engine began to idle. I tested the pedal several times before resuming my route. At my first left turn after the acceleration incident, I noted that the car had no power steering, and I was barely able to turn the car a sharp 90 degrees to the left. The remainder of my ride home, the car had no power steering. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). Updated 4/19/2016
