Way back then I tried so hard to find a central body that could collate all of these incidents and there just isn’t one so I resorted to reaching out via these sites. I think that there is a very dangerous problem with that model Corolla.

I could not stop. I rocketed up a hill even though I was standing on the brakes. My local Toyota dealership blamed the car mat. However the car mat did NOT cause this and could NOT possibly weigh down the pedal- no more than a piece of paper could! It is a small cheap flimsy carpet mat and my engine was ROARING. The brakes were ineffective. I finally managed to stop the car by forcing the automatic gearshift into a lower gear. Can anyone else suggest who to complain to? How do we get Toyota to sit up and take notice- do we have to wait until someone dies in Australia due to this? (as happened in America). My 2008 automatic toyota corolla accelerator stuck today!!

I believe that might have been the cause of an incident in melbourne in february, causing damage to three vehicles, whilst waiting in a traffic queue at melbourne airport. This was with a Toyota Kluger. I, and my insurance company would be most interested to hear of any similar experiences... has anyone else had a problem with an apparent sticking of a toyota accelerator in australia?
