After performing a gas pedal reoperation on a 2009 toyota camry there was a constant clicking noise and a feeling detent when pressing on the accelerator after a stop. the dealer agreed with the problem and replaced the gas pedal with a new one. the new pedal is a improvement but the clicking is still coming from, i believe, the spring inside the accelerator pedal housing. the dealer said he could not do anything more. i personally removed the pedal and filled the spring cavity full with very thick lubrication grease. the noise is now about 50%gone, sometimes for a day or two but still returns eventually when i slightly press on the pedal from a stop. the spring i think has too much room to move around or is not remaining seated. this is a very annoying nuisance problem hearing this clicking that did not exist when i had the old style gas pedal. *tr

On wednesday march 17, 2010 i took my 2009 toyota camry to my local toyota dealership in chester, va to have my vehicle serviced due to the recent recall issue. this morning while driving to work i noticed that when i let off the gas pedal, my car accelerates just a bit and/or sticks just for a few moments and then decelerates . the vehicle was doing this prior to the service, and is still doing this after the vehicle maintenance was completed yesterday. i feel that whatever "fix" toyota is performing on the recalled vehicles is not working. i feel it is not a mechanical issue, i feel it is an electronic issue. i have read that others are having the same issue with the "fix" toyota is issuing for their vehicles. i am at a loss of what to do since toyota doesn't seem to have a reliable "fix" for the recalled vehicles yet. i don't know what this information will accomplish, but i just wanted to put it out there just in case it is helpful. thanks, concerned toyota customer. *tr

On march 9, 2010 i took my 09 toyota camry in for the floormat recall and to have the cruise control looked at for an acceleration issue. when the cruise control slows down it will kick into about 5,000 rpm's for about 10 seconds and put me at least 10 mph over the speed i set it to. (which is usually when i turn it off!!!) when i picked my car up at the end of the day i noticed that my gas pedal has been shaved off at the bottom making it very short and difficult to drive with plus my floor mats had not been modified as i was told they should have been. i was also told that the problem with my cruise control could not be duplicated but to bring my car back if i have problems in the future. i was then told that it is 'normal' for toyota cars to rapidly accelerate with the cruise control on (at 5,000 rpms??? really???)and that a 5-8 mph difference in the speed you set the cruise control at is also 'normal'. i just looked up the kbb on my car and think i might be able to get out of it without a loss. i am seriously considering it. *tr
