The problem with my 2007 toyota yaris is sudden acceleration with accelerator getting stuck at partially depressed levels (around 50-60 MPH). I have to press brake several times to get it to stop. This is sporadic and happens without warning. I took it to vann york toyota in high point, nc and they told me the cause of my problem was after market floor mats. They concluded this after one time traveling around 60 MPH. This is not the case because this happens without the floor mat interference. This is still happening and I am afraid that it will get stuck and I won't be able to stop it. I have learned that toyota recalled vehicles for this exact problem but I never received a recall notice. Please advise me on what I should do. Thank you.

While driving at highway speeds, steering stick when trying to make slight steering corrections. This has gotten bad enough to where vehicle makes lane changes when just trying to make slight correction. Have had the vehicle checked several times, the acceleration sensor has been relearned three separate times with little or no change. This is very annoying and dangerous.

On 16 august, 2013, while turning into a garage parking spot I took my foot off the accelerator to press on the brake to come to full stop before the concrete column at the end of the parking space when, of its own accord, the car suddenly lurched forward at much accelerated speed. The car crashed into the concrete column destroying the front left head lights, entire front grill work, and the frame of the driver's side door was bent so the door would not be opened. No airbags deployed. On 20 august, 2013 my insurance company deemed the car a total loss.

Recurrent accelerator pedal failure (drive by wire) with check engine light warning. Occasionally, when accelerating, the check engine light comes on and the pedal depressing action initially has no effect for several depressions and then it works minimally. This may last for a while or for just a short period. It has happened several times. I did a search online and other people are having the same problem.
