Hi!

I have a Toyota Camry. I have a stick shift. I am an excellent driver and I drive fast.

Six months ago or so my gas pedal accelerated without my help and I did a few things. I put my foot underneath it to unstick, in retrospect I realize I also put it in neutral, and, finally, the mat was scrunched up so I pullet that away.

I reported back to my dh about this and gallows humor laughed about how I always dismissed other such reports but it actually had happened to me.

I don’t know whether it is floor mat or software/mechanical, but I do know it happened to me and I believe that when I shifted into neutral I reset the car.
V’s wife.

The automatics cannot be shifted into neutral without lowering the speed.
