I am the 2nd owner of this car , and i have loved it until the day the accelerator didn't work. i was driving down a mountain, not using the accelerator until i reached the bottom of the hill. when i tried to accelerate the pedal would not move. i coasted into the nearest turnoff. the car was running , i put it into" park", while still running i checked to see if there was something (floormats) blocking the pedal. there was nothing. i tried mashing it as hard as i could, no movement. i turned the engine off, waited a few minutes and restarted. the pedal was ok, accelerated just fine. i believe i rebooted the computer. i carefully drove to my mechanic, he checked the "plates" and other possible problems and could find nothing wrong. i called toyota customer service , they advised taking it to the nearest dealer. i was told it was not on the recall list but i could bring it in to be checked. i was afraid to drive the car that distance over 200 miles roundtrip. i later received a small check from "toyota economic loss settlement administrator " for a class action lawsuit settlement. i did not cash it. i was advised by my insurance company not to drive the car. i would like to sell it but ethically can not because i don't want somebody killed or injured in it. i have tried several times at the dealership to find a solution. but they claim this problem couldn't happen and were not helpful. it could be sold to a junk yard at a loss but again, it could be sold from there and driven. any advice?
