We're all gearheads here at Autoblog, with varying degrees of mechanical competence. But when the time comes to get technical - <em>really</em> technical - we inevitably hit up our own Sam Abuelsamid to get into the nitty gritty of modern automobiles.<br />
<br />
Sam spent the better part of two decades working on anti-lock brake, traction and stability control systems, which means he brings a particularly keen insight to the recent <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Toyotarecall/">Toyota recall</a>. So Mr. A sat down with <a href="http://autos.aol.com/">AOL Autos</a>' Reilly Brennan and the accelerator pedal from a 2009 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/camry">Toyota Camry</a> for an impromptu deep-dive into what's causing the unintended acceleration issue and what owners of the affected models can do if their throttle pedal is pinned to the floor. Check it out <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/29/video-in-depth-look-at-toyotas-sticky-accelerator/#continued">after the jump</a> and be sure to share it with anyone you know who's manning one of the eight recalled vehicles.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/29/video-in-depth-look-at-toyotas-sticky-accelerator/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Video: In-depth look at Toyota's sticky accelerator</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/29/video-in-depth-look-at-toyotas-sticky-accelerator/">Video: In-depth look at Toyota's sticky accelerator</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:24:00 EST.
