THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS. EVERY TIME I COME TO A HALT FOR ABOUT 20SECS TO 1 MINUTE. I HAVE TO PUSH HARD A COUPLE OF TIMES OR MORE TO RELEASE THE PEDAL FROM THE STUCK POSITION. THE CAR THEN GOES INTO SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *TR

IT WAS RAINING VERY HARD AND THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS AROUND 70. I MAY HAVE DRIVEN THRU A PUDDLE JUST BEFORE I TURNED MY CAR , AS I TURNED MY STEERING FROZE UP, LIKE I LOST POWER STEERING ONLY WORSE, I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL TO STRAIGHTEN OUT MY CAR SO I HAD TO STOP MY CAR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO GET CONTROL OF THE STEERING AGAIN. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THE STEERING PROBLEMS WENT WAY. THIS STEERING PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR WHENEVER IT'S VERY WET OUTSIDE, WHEN IT'S RAINING HARD. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A AUTO MECHANIC WHO CHECKED THE BELTS AND STEERING FLUID AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. *TT
