I was slowly turning to the right into a parking space and had my foot on the brake when the car suddenly accelerated. Fortunately, there was a tree there to stop the car. In the previous months, several of the panel warning lights had been coming on and off. I had toyota check them. They replaced the egr valve but it kept happening so I took it back. They said they checked everything and couldn't find anything wrong. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the car suddenly accelerating, but it might have.

Approx 20 times over approx the last 2 to 4 years, my 1994 toyota camry experienced either sudden acceleration or lack of appropriate deceleration. Fortunately, I realized the floor mat was pressing on the accelerator pedal. Pulling back the mat with my foot instantly resolved the problem in every instance. After the publicity regarding later year models, I finally removed the floor mat entirely and have had no further episodes. I am concerned that this happened in my 1994 toyota camry, but the recall has involved only 2007 and later models. The floor mat says "camry" on the front. On the back it says "left hand." under that it says "00208" with a space, followed by "32921". To the right of this is a grid with years 94, 95, and 96 each followed by 12 squares. The year 94 with the first box has a dot in the middle, presumably made in january 1994. Below this it says "gb 6" the mat has become stiff over the years so that the right side, including the area near the gas pedal, does not lie flat on the floor, allowing it to easily ride on top of and press down on the gas pedal.
