I jumped in and hit the brake and stopped the car (setting the emergency brake) the gear shift was still in the park position. After I calmed down I restarted the vehicle put it in reverse and backed the car into the driveway again. I contacted my local dealer and they seemed to not believe me but set up an appointment to bring it in, in 4 days.

I have a recalled 2010 Toyota Corolla that had the sudden acceleration problem. I had a minor accident on March 3rd 2010 that involved my other vehichle, as I was putting my Corolla into reverse & it jumped hard backwards like it was propelled I had barely tapped the gas, the drivers side rear bumper hit my other car there was no damage to that one but my Corolla substainted a minor but big enough dent to the lower back bumper, I called the police made a report and now I am waiting on someone from Toyota to get back to my husband and I to get this Corolla inspected, it can't be repaired in the back until that is done! my husband has on many occasions himself felt the car surge when stepping on the pedal its happened to him backing up, going forward and driving down main roads! my car is brand new the value of it and what we pay makes me sick to even know these things are happening! I love my Toyota and had a brand new 2009 yaris for year before we traded it in on this! anyhow my dealer 'fixed' the pedal but the problem has happened since the fix. I contacted the dealer and was told there was nothing more they can do. I have contacted Toyota and they are sending someone to inspect the car.

Car was parked and turned off. I started the car and put it on R (reverse) and started to pull out of the parking stall. Brake was really hard and wouldn't go all the way down. Car was still moving really slow. I change the transmission to D and the car was still going back. Brake was still hard, I pushed down effectively bringing the car to a stop now. I turned the transmission to P (parking) and then turned off the engine. The brake became loose and I could push it all the way down. I restarted the car and everything was fine afterward.

2009 Toyota Corolla accelerates by itself.

- Cicero, IL, USA

For entire time owned - there is a gap of seconds between pressing gas pedal and actual acceleration. When I press gas pedal there is a hesitation leading me to press harder. Then of course the car has a sudden sprint in acceleration. This is not safe. I have had the car for 5.5 months so I am getting better at waiting instead of pressing harder. But I feel this is definitely a defect. I inquired over phone with service manager where I purchased - explanation: I am not use to a 4 cylinder, which I believed because I have never driven a 4 cylinder. But, I am beginning not to believe this excuse.
