Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The gas pedal sticks when you first start and then drive the vehicle. the manufacturer knows this and suggest cleaning the throttle body every 15000 miles. they charge $25 to do this if that is all you have done. when the problem occurs you have to press down on the gas pedal hard to get it to release. this is obviously very dangerous. i have told my toyota dealer many times about this problem. the problem seams to alleviate itself after you have driven a few miles. the incident date below is just one date this occurred. it is a constant problem. i also own a 1993 toyota camry and it has the same problem. *jb
