On March 8, 2010 a San Diego, California, driver was trying to pass another car. He stepped on the accelerator to speed up, then he lifted his foot off of the gas pedal. That’s when "it did something kind of funny," the driver said. "It just stuck there."

That was the beginning of a 30-mile terrifying ride until the driver, with the help of a California Highway Patrol officer in a car by his side, was able to help him stop his car. Toyota said it sent representatives to look into the problem.

This description of an acceleration problem is one of many consumer complaints about stuck gas pedals and unintended acceleration in Toyotas and other cars made by the auto company. As a result of the complaints, Toyota has recalled 2.3 million vehicles in the U.S. and 8 million from around the world.

Complaints Go Beyond Recalled Toyotas

Consumer Reports wrote in a current issue that models not involved in the recent Toyota recalls have also been reported as having problems. The magazine quotes one driver describing his attempt to pull into a parking space "when the car suddenly surge forward at a high rate of speed. My foot was on the brake the entire time." He goes on to describe how the car jumped the cement block, onto a center island, and finally stopped when it hit a tree.

The driver said the car was destroyed and he was bruised by the seat belt and the air bag. Toyota had an engineer look at the car. He said he couldn’t recreate the problem and the car was fine.

Toyota Makes Its Own Claims

Toyota maintains the problem is one of simple mechanical flaws, i.e., that the floor mat gets caught under the gas pedal or the accelerator is sticky. A Southern Illinois University professor who has tested the cars disputes Toyota’s findings. He argues the problem is due to an electronics glitch.

Toyota sent a letter out in February advising drivers of affected models to take them to a dealership for repairs. But, since the recall, more than 60 drivers have complained that the problem occurred after they took in their cars for repairs.

What Models Are Affected?

Recalled models include the 2005-2010 Avalons; 2009-2010 Matrix; 2007-2010 Tundra; 2008-2010 Sequoia; and some models of the 2007-2010 Camry, 2009-2010 Corolla, 2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 RAV4. A Twin of the Matrix, the 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe, also was recalled.

Consumer Reports says it will not recommend those models until the company fixes the acceleration problem.
