2007 Toyota Yaris: sudden unintended acceleration

Filed Sep 19, 2017 · Acceleration · 2 miles · NC

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.

My wife was driving our 2007 toyota yaris and was exiting the freeway. She let off the gas pedal to coast down the ramp to where the traffic was stopped. Suddenly the car accelerated on its own. She swerved to avoid rear ending the row of stopped cars in front of her and attempted to go between the 2 lanes of cars on the ramp. She clipped a truck and the car turned over on its right side, causing severe damage to the yaris. My wife was taken to the hospital with thankfully only minor injuries. My wife and I believe this is an occurrence of the well known toyota 'sudden acceleration' problem, even though this model is not on their recall list.

I bought 2007 toyota yaris 4 door sedan with automatic. When I used cruise control, it had at least two times sudden acceleration. The engine suddenly made huge noise for the acceleration, and I was scared and immediately canceled it. Although it can be canceled, it is still a safety issue.
