ACCELERATE WITHOUT PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL. RAN INTO ANOTHER CAR WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. CEASING INTO THE SPOT AND THEN IT ACCELERATED WHICH MADE IT RUN INTO THE CAR. NO ONE WAS HURT BUT MY CAR WAS DAMAGED.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE -- I SAW SOMETHING ON TV THAT THERE MAY BE IN AN ISSUE WITH POWER GRIDS/ELECTRO MAGNETIC FIELDS AND THE NEWER CAMRY'S. MY WIFE HAS A 2007 CAMRY AND THERE IS FULL BLOCK IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA (NEXT TO TECO OUR HQ FOR POWER IN TAMPA) THAT HER PUSH-BUTTON START WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT WORK. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE WITH THE RESPONDER AND REPLACED IT. THE PUSH BUTTON START WORKED EVERYWHERE EXCEPT NEXT TO THIS GRID AND IS STILL AN ISSUE -- WE HAVE TO PARK ONE BLOCK AWAY TO GO TO THAT AREA. ALTHOUGH, THERE ARE NO DIRECT SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS ISSUE IT MAY BE GOOD INFORMATION FOR YOUR OVERALL STUDY. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THERE PREVENTING HER CAR TO WORK CORRECTLY. OTHER VEHICLES IN THIS SAME AREA HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

THIS CONCERNS MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. I HEAR A RATTLE FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SUPPOSEDLY THERE IS A TSB OUT FOR IT. BUT I AM REALLY AT A LOSS TO DIGEST THAT IT IS LIMITED TO ONLY VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR IS OUT OF IT BY A YEAR AND ABOUT 2500 MILES AND TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX THE RATTLE. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR IT OR LIVE WITH IT.

ATTN: DEFECTS INVESTIGATIONS OFFICE. 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 38721 MILES THAT IS OWNED BY AND USED AS AN UNDERCOVER POLICE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT EXPLANATION ON MARCH 10, 2010. THE OPERATOR, WHO IS A SWORN OFFICER, ADVISES THAT HIS FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE INCREASED IN SPEED AND ENGINE REVOLUTIONS WITHOUT EXPLANATION. THE EVENT OCCURRED OVER THE COURSE OF APPROXIMATELY 1/10TH OF A MILE REACHING SPEEDS JUST OVER 60 MPH. THE ACCELERATION EVENT CORRECTED ITSELF. THERE WAS NO INJURY OR CRASH ASSOCIATED WITH THE EVENT. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAD COMPLETED A TOYOTA RECALL SERVICE PROGRAM # SSC90L TO ADDRESS ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE ON MARCH 2, 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE HENRICO POLICE ON MARCH 3, 2010. THE EXTREMELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN THE RECALL SERVICE AND THIS SUDDEN UNANTICIPATED ACCELERATION EVENT GIVES REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL SERVICE WAS NOT EFFECTIVE IN CORRECTING THE ACCELERATION ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH TOYOTA BRAND VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED SHORTLY AFTER THE EVENT AND IS CURRENTLY SECURED BY THE HENRICO POLICE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OR EXAMINED BY ANY PARTIES SINCE THE OCCURRENCE OF THIS ACCELERATION EVENT. IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD RECENTLY COMPLETED THE REQUIRED ACCELERATION RECALL SERVICE AND HAS BEEN SECURED SINCE THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE, THIS AGENCY BELIEVES THAT THIS VEHICLE IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR EXAMINATION BY THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATIONS TO D

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE IN OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE OIL SUPPLY HOSE AT 60 MPH. NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT ANY TIME. IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I SAW A HUGE CLOUD OF SMOKE BEHIND CAR. I PULLED CAR TO THE SIDE OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND OIL ON THE ENGINE. CALLED TOYOTA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED. THEY TOLD ME ALL THE OIL IN THE ENGINE WAS GONE AND THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM. THEY REPLACED HOSE AND OIL BUT NOW I WONDER IF I HAVE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. DROVE HOME AND PARKED IT. ON 2/17/2010 I HAD A RECALL VISIT TO THE DEALER ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT NO ONE INFORMED ME OF THIS RECALL. ONE WEEK AGO I RECEIVED A LETTERS FROM TOYOTA ON MORE RECALLS (THE OIL HOSE WAS ONE). I TRIED TO GET AN APPOINTMENT BUT THEY WERE BUSY UNTIL APRIL. THIS IS NOT A SMALL LEAK LIKE THEY SAY IN THE NOTICE-WHEN IT GOES YOU THINK YOU HAVE BLOWN AN ENGINE WITH 6.5 QUARTS OF OIL HITTING A THE HOT EXHAUST. I WOULD THINK THERE IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. MY CAMRY HAS ACCELERATED ON MANY OCCASIONS, HUNDREDS OF TIME, OFTEN TIMES, DAILY. IT HAS NEVER CAUSED AN OVERRIDE PROBLEM, BUT THE RPMS DO GO UP IMMENSELY. IT IS NOT THE GAS PEDAL, I CAN ASSURE YOU, BECAUSE I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL TO SEE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. MY BROTHER IN LAW, A CAR MECHANIC GURU ASSURED ME IT WAS THE NEW MOTOR SYNCHRONIZATION, SO I NEVER REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL DEALER. I HAD A 2005 CAMRY, THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO THAT VEHICLE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT, BUT ALMOST DAILY, IT DOES ACCELERATE. THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM, IT IS REAL, AS FAR AS TAKING OVER THEIR VEHICLE, COULD BE. *TR

IN 2007 WE LEASED A NEW CAMRY ALONG WITH ANOTHER NEW TOYOTA PRODUCT ON THE SAME DAY. MY WIFE HAS HAD THE ACCELERATOR STICK ON HER AND SHE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR AND RAN OFF THE ROAD. SHE NARROWLY AVOIDED HAVING A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN THE CAR WHILE MY FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH HER. THE DEALERSHIP PICKED UP THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT. THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AGAIN. THEY HAVE SINCE CAME AND PICKED IT UP AGAIN AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS WITH NO PROGRESS OR SOLUTIONS OFFERED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTIONS TO FIX IT. THEY TELL US THEY'RE WAITING ON TOYOTA ENGINEERS TO COME BUT HAVE NO DATE OR TIME THAT WILL HAPPEN. MY WIFE IS TERRIFIED OF THE CAR AND RIGHTFULLY SO. THERE ARE ONLY 15 MONTHS LEFT ON THE LEASE AND WE JUST WANT THEM TO PURCHASE THE CAR BACK. IT IS LEASED THROUGH TOYOTA FINANCIAL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TOO LONG FOR THEM TO HAVE NO SOLUTIONS FOR A REPAIR. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER IN REDDING, CA ABOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP; HOWEVER, THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL OPERATION. I DOUBT IT VERY MUCH, HOW THE CRUISE CONTROL RESUMES BACK TO THE SET SPEED ALMOST INSTANTLY BY RAISING THE RPM OVER 5000, WHICH WILL MAKE YOU FEEL THE CAR IS GOING OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING CARS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND OWN MANY MAKES AND MODELS BUT NONE OF THEM BEHAVED IN THIS WAY. THIS WAS MY FIRST TOYOTA CAR, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE CAR MAKER SHOULD LOOK IN TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT MIGHT GIVE THEM CLUES ABOUT ACCIDENTAL ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THAT I AM HEARING REGULARLY. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY I HAD A ACCIDENT IN THE VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2009 IN JACKSON, TN. I TOLD THE OFFICERS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY THAT I TRIED TO STOP BUT WAS UNABLE TO I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG IT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I WENT INTO A DITCH. TWO DAYS LATER TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THE FLOOR MATS. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FLOOR MATS THIS YEAR IN FEBRUARY 2010. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD THE WRONG NAME AS BEING THE OWNER AND SAID THEY WOULD GET ME THE RECALL INFORMATION MAILED TO MY HOME. THE COMPANY DID SEND ME THE INFORMATION I CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HER AND THEY TOLD ME I COULD BRING MY VEHICLE IN. IT STATES ON THE PAPERS THAT TOYOTA WILL REPLACE THE PEDAL WITH A NEW ONE IF I WANTED TO WAIT FOR IT IN AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE OLDER ALL WEATHER FLOOR MATS AND CLEAN THE CARPET. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN FOR ME I NOW HAVE THE SAME DIRTY FLOOR THAT I HAD BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THEM AND NOW I'M RIDING IN A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE SINCE THEY PUT THE REINFORCEMENT BAR ON MY CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I'M AFRAID EVEN MORE TO DRIVE THE CAR I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD CORPORATE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM TO CHECK OUT THE CAR AND MY MANUAL SAYS THAT IF THIS LIGHT COMES ON THAT IT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT COULD BE UP TO 200 DIFFERENT THINGS AND THAT UNLESS I PAY FOR THIS THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST ME I CAN WRITE A LETTER TO THE CLAIMS DEPARTMENT BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE

CAR DOES NOT RESPOND IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I FEAR THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE PROBLEMS REPORTED IN TOYOTA CAMRYS. I HAVE A 2007 MODEL. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT, BUT I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS IN THE PAST YEAR. *TR

MY CAR IS A 2007 CAMRY XLEV6, AND WAS NOT LISTED AS PART OF THE TOYOTA RECALL (IT HAS LOCKING MATS). PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY AT MY HOME, WITH FOOT ON BRAKES AS I TOUCHED AUTO GARAGE DOOR OPENER ON VISOR. CAR GEAR WAS IN D. AS I REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE TO GAS PEDAL TO PULL INTO GARAGE, AND LIGHTLY PLACED FOOT ON ACCELERATOR, INSTANTANEOUSLY ENGINE REVVED, PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, TACH ZOOMED AND AUTO JETTED INTO GARAGE.

AGAIN, WITH TIRES SQUEALING, SMOKING & LAYING RUBBER, I TRIED TO JAM GEARSHIFT TO N OR P, AND CAR JETTISONED FORWARD HITTING GARAGE WALL AT FULL FORCE. WITH MILLISECOND RECOVERY, I HELD ONTO GEARSHIFT ' ALL THE TIME MY FEET WERE ON BRAKES ' AGAIN TRIED TO FORCE IT INTO P, AND IT AGAIN WENT TO R, (MUST PASS N AND R TO GET GEAR INTO P) THEN AGAIN FORWARD IN ANOTHER DIRECT HIT AGAINST GARAGE WALL, BREAKING THE WALL OPEN AND SPLITTING SHEETROCK AS AUTO NEARLY POPPED THROUGH TO LAUNDRY ROOM AND GAS FURNACE.

SO I MY SELF BEEN OWNER OF MORE THAN 5 CAMRYS AND NOW AM AFRAID TO BUY ONE AGAIN DO TO THERE POOR SAFETY. I THINK A CAR THAT GOT HIT GOING AROUND 50MPH AND THE CAR OF THE IMPACT WAS TRAVELING 60MPH AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE OPEN CAUSE IS ANYONE GETS HIT HARDER FOR THE AIRBAGS TO OPEN WILL END UP DEAD. *TR

THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS THEIR COMPUTERS DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT AS THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR
