| 2002 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES | I DRIVE A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY LE PURCHASED AUGUST 2002, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. SOMETIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE MY FOOT ALSO PRESSES THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD A FEW FEET BEFORE I REGAIN CONTROL AND STOP IT. THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER AND/OR THEIR HEIGHT FROM THE FLOOR OR RANGE OF MOTION ARE BAD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 50 YEARS, HAVEN'T HAD THIS PROBLEM SIGNIFICANTLY BEFORE. MY LAST CAR WAS A '92 FORD TAURUS - HAD NO SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH IT. I AM TALL, HAVE BIG FEET - SIZE 12 OR 13 SHOES. I AM AFRAID I MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY HIT A PEDESTRIAN WHO STEPPED IN FRONT OF MY CAR, OR BUMP INTO ANOTHER CAR WHEN I AM MOVING BACK AND FORTH WHILE PARKING OR TURNING IN TIGHT LOCATIONS. OTHERWISE THE CAR IS GOOD, BUT THIS PROBLEM IS BAD ENOUGH THAT I WOULD BUY ANOTHER CAR NOW IF THE LOSS FROM ONE YEAR'S DEPRECIATION WAS NOT AS HIGH. YOU (NHTSA) MIGHT HAVE STATISTICS THAT WOULD PERMIT YOU TO CHECK THIS OUT, THEN GET TOYOTA TO REDESIGN THE PEDALS. *JB |
