2007 Toyota Camry complaints

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY 2007. THE ISSUE IS NOT A STICKY GAS PEDAL BUT A HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THEN OBVIOUSLY THE CAR DOES LUNGE FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATION CATCHES UP . MY CAR HAS NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT AS OF YET, BUT IT IS DISTURBING WHEN IT OCCURS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. I AM GETTING THE SO CALLED REPAIR ON MARCH 12, 2010. THIS HESITATION DOES HAPPEN OFTEN , BUT IT IS NOT CONSTANT. I JUST FEEL THAT MOST OF THE CAR OWNERS DO NOT REALIZE THAT THE HESITATION IS PART OF TOYOTA`S PROBLEM. THEREFORE NO ONE IS EXPLAINING THE REAL ISSUE. THE DATE I AM PUTTING IN IS AN APPROXIMATE DATE, SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR QUITE SOMETIME. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT THE TOYOTA GARAGE KEPT SAYING IT WAS HOW THE COMPUTER WAS DESIGNED TO WORK, WHEN I DID INQUIRE ABOUT MY ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WITH AN INCREASE IN THE ENGINE RPMS. THERE WAS A MOMENTARY HESITATION BEFORE ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE FAILURE WAS A COMMON ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION WHICH STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V388000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL); HOWEVER THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE AVAILABILITY OF THE RECALL AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGES WAS 37,200.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) THE INCIDENT: ACCELERATED GAS PEDAL THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON CRAIN HWY, GLEN BURNIE AT THE INTERSECTION OF CRAIN HWY/AQUAHART RD ON 9/26/2009. I WAS TRAVELING ON CRAIN HIGHWAY WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I APPLIED PRESSURE ON THE BREAK. AND THOUGHT I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CE HAD UNEXPECTEDLY JOLTED FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SAID "WOW THAT WAS WEIRD" I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT THE INCIDENT OTHER THAN I JUST BEING A FREAK MALFUNCTION. ONLY UNTIL THE RECENT RECALLS OF MY TOYOTA MODEL WAS IT BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT I MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ACCELERATED GAS PEDAL MALFUNCTION WITH MY VEHICLE. NO ACCIDENTS WERE A RESULT OF THE INCIDENT; HOWEVER I WAS SHAKEN UP A BIT. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA IN LATE JANUARY EXPLAINING THAT MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS PART OF A RECALL TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT AND THAT I WAS GOING TO RECEIVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT RECALL LOCATIONS IN EARLY APRIL/MAY. AFTER READING NEWSPAPERS AND WATCHING NEWS REPORTS OF THE PUBLIC RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT IDENTIFYING THE TOYOTA MODELS THAT WAS PART OF THE RECALL INVOLVING ACCELERATED GAS PEDALS. MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS PART OF THE MODELS IDENTIFIED SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DARCARS TOYOTA OF BALTIMORE, 6000 EASTERN AVE , BALTIMORE MD ON JANUARY,10, 2010 AND WAS TURNED AWAY CLAIMING MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BUILT IN JAPAN. I NOTICED THAT IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ACCELERATION OR FLOORMAT RECALLS. DO THE CARS BUILT IN JAPAN NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THOSE BUILT IN AMERICA? IF NOT, WHAT IS DIFFERENT THAT EXCLUDES MY CAR FROM THE RECALL? MY VIN # BEGINS WITH A "J". *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR PEDAL RECALL BECAUSE IT HAS A VIN # THAT BEGINS WITH A J.

PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED. I GOT AND OIL CHANGED, CHANGED FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND REPLACED TWO TIRES. I ASKED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM THEN AND EVEN STATED I RECEIVED THE NOTICE IN THE MAIL. I WAS BASICALLY TURNED AWAY I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO WAIT TO RECEIVE MY SECOND NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND THAT BY THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PRIOR TO HAVING MY CAR SERVICED MY CAR ACCELERATED BEFORE HOWEVER I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE TRACTION ON MY TIRES AND WORN PADS. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT I WOULD SOON FIND THAT WAS MY NO MEANS THE CASE. A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING MY MAINTENANCE DONE ON MY VEHICLE I WAS HEADED TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY IT HAD JUST STOPPED RAINING WHEN MY CAR PICKED UP IN SPEED TO WELL OVER 75 MPH. FROM THERE EVERYTHING HAPPENED SO FAST. THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING I PANICKED GIVEN A CAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME I STEERED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE TO AVOID THE COLLISION AND IN DOING SO I HIT WATER ON THE ROAD WHICH CAUSED ME TO BEGIN TO HYDROPLANED. MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO BRAKE HOWEVER THAT DIDN'T WORK IT ONLY CAUSED ME TO HYDROPLANE MORE SPINNING ABOUT 5 TIMES OVER A DITCH AND LANDING IN BETWEEN TWO TREES. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ACCIDENT WAS A NIGHTMARE. I ACCRUED SEVERAL EXPENSES ONE TOTALING MY CAR WHICH I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A YEAR AS WELL AS BACK AND NECK PAIN. I NOT ONLY NOTIFIED TOYOTA AND MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED I ALSO CONTACTED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. HE ALSO OBSERVED THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN BRAKING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

THE SPARE TIRE WELL FILLS UP WITH WATER. FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND NEEDED TO USE THE SPARE. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION. DEALER SEALED THE TIRE WELL. THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. AGAIN TAKEN TO DEALER AND TRUNK DOOR SEAL WAS REPLACED. THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. RECENTLY HAD A FLAT TIRE, AND AGAIN DISCOVERED THE TIRE WELL FILLED WITH WATER. THE TRUNK NOW HAS MOLDY, MILDEW ODOR. HAVE MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER. *TR

WAS PARKING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN PARKING LOT BETWEEN TWO CARS WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED CAUSING ME TO HIT TWO CARS IN THE SPACES ADJACENT TO THE PARKING SPACE I WAS ENTERING. THESE CARS WERE IN FRONT OF THE SPACE I WAS ENTERING. THIS OCCURRED AFTER RECALL REPAIRS TO THE GAS PEDAL WERE MADE ON 2/11/10. *TR

THE CAR LOST CONTROL FOR NO REASON, COULD NOT BRAKE AND GOT TOTALLED. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE. I HAVE BEING SAYING SINCE MY FIRST MAINTENANCE CHECK AT THE DEALER THAT THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD. NOW IT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A "STICKY PEDAL". THE PROBLEMS I HAVE ARE NOT A STICKY PEDAL PROBLEM. THE CAR LURCHES AT TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING. IT LURCHES FORWARD FROM STOPS. I HAVE ALREADY HIT A CURB BECAUSE OF IT JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. I HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE ROAD AND THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR FROM HITTING THE CURB. I CAN EMAIL YOU THE VIDEO FOOTAGE. THE CAR ALSO SEEMS TO DRIFT MOMENTARILY AS IF THERE IS A STEERING SYNCHRONIZATION LAPSE DEFECT. WHEN I MENTIONED THESE BOTH TO THE DEALER A YEAR AGO, THE DEALER'S SERVICE TECH SAID IT WAS JUST THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CAR WORKING PROPERLY. THERE ARE SPLIT SECONDS WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT CONTROL THE CAR WHILE IT IS DRIVING. THIS ALL SEEMS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. I WONDER IF TOYOTA PROGRAMMED THE CAR TO DO THIS ON PURPOSE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TIMES I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND CANCEL MY LEASE. SO I AM STILL DRIVING THIS UNPREDICTABLE CAR EVERY DAY. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JAPANESE-MADE CAMRY. I BOUGHT AT A PREMIUM (WELL ABOVE INVOICE AND ABOVE MSRP BECAUSE SERVCO HAWAII DOES NOT GIVE DISCOUNTS) THINKING I WAS PAYING FOR A RELIABLE AND WELL-MADE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD OTHER TOYOTAS BUT NONE WITH AS MANY PROBLEMS AS THIS VEHICLE. AND, WITH ALL THE NEWS OF ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS, I WOULD LIKE MY PROBLEMS CHECKED AND NOT BE CHARGED FOR IT. I DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING TO PAY $103 (1HR LABOR) X 3 DIFFERENT ACCELERATOR ISSUES + ANOTHER $103 TO SEE WHY THERE IS THE SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE A/C VENT. 1. WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR, I WILL GET NO RESPONSE... I CONTINUE TO DEPRESS THE GAS, STILL NO RESPONSE. THEN FINALLY, THE CAR WILL THRUST FORWARD VIOLENTLY. THIS HAS BEEN MENTIONED TO TOYOTA HAWAII DEALER SEVERAL TIMES SAYING IT WAS NORMAL FOR DRIVE BY WIRE VEHICLE AND THAT IT WILL TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO. 2. WHEN ACCELERATING SLOWLY, THE CAR WILL REV HIGH WITHOUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION UPSHIFTING.. I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS MORE AND THE CAR WILL REV EVEN HIGHER BEFORE UPSHIFTING. 3. ON 2 DIFFERENT TIMES, THE CAR HAS REVVED AND JUMPED FORWARD WHILE NOT IN GEAR. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT AN INTERSECTION. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WITH THE P-BRAKE ON AND IT FELT AS IF SOMEONE HIT MY CAR FROM THE REAR. THE CAR JUMPED INTO THE BUSY CROSSWALK ABOUT 2 FEET UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SHIFTED IT BACK INTO DRIVE. ANOTHER TIME WAS AT THE DRIVE-THRU WINDOW IN PARK. THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE BUT JERKED VIOLENTLY. BOTH WERE ON FLAT SURFACE

ON FEB 10, 2010 MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCEL PEDAL STUCK ON ME, 5 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE ON IT. IT REVVED FROM 2000-4000 RPMS, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD FOR IT TO STOP AND REGAIN CONTROL. TOOK IT INTO TOYOTA, THEY LOOKED AT IT, RETURNED THE CAR AND TOLD ME "NOTHING WAS WRONG." ON MARCH 4, 2010 IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT ACCELERATED FROM 20 MPH TO 40 MPH IN A SPLIT SECOND, AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AGAIN I HAD BRAKE HARD TO GAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA AGAIN LOOKED OVER MY CAR, AND AGAIN CAME UP WITH NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. SO THAT IS TWO TIMES AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED THAT MY HAS ACCELERATED. IT ALSO DID ACCELERATE BEFORE THE RECALL. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THIS IS ONE OF THE SAFETY RECALL CARS. I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION BEFORE THE RECALL, THEN GOT THE RECALL FIXED ON FEBRUARY 21ST. I HAD A FEW SMALL ISSUES THESE PAST FEW WEEKS WITH IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BUT THIS MORNING THE WAY TO WORK I WAS DRIVING ON THE 101 IN PHOENIX HEADING TO WORK WHEN MY CAMRY SUDDENLY STARTED ACCELERATING THIS TIME IT WAS NOT A SMALL ISSUE BUT IT ACCELERATED TO ALMOST 80 MPH I WAS DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED. I GOT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CATCH MY BREATH BECAUSE I WAS VERY SCARED. I THEN MADE IT, THE REST OF MY WAY TO WORK WHICH WAS ABOUT 8 MILES. I DRIVE 50 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK EVERYDAY, I DROP MY HUSBAND OFF AT WORK, I DROP MY 17 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER OFF AT DAYCARE AND THIS TO ME IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AS OF TODAY DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR TO DRIVE ANY WHERE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY, CAN YOU PLEASE HELP IN MAKING THAT HAPPEN. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATION PROBLEM*CW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL UP TO 90 MPH AND IT DIDN'T RESPOND TO ANY BRAKING EFFORT. EVEN AFTER SHIFTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD SIMPLY NOT SLOW DOWN, EVEN WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE. FINALLY, THE CONSUMER DECIDED TO TURN OFF THE KEY. ONCE THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF, THE VEHICLE FINALLY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PEDAL WAS NOT TRAPPED UNDER THE MAT AND HE BELIEVED THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF COMPUTER OR SOFTWARE PROBLEM, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT ANY EFFECT. *JB UPDATED 03/29/10.*JB

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY IN JULY 2007 AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FREMONT, CA. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING A LAG IN ACCELERATION FOR THE PAST YEAR OR MORE. MY REPEATED REQUESTED FOR THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT THE STEVENS CREEK TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I TAKE THE CAR FOR MY SERVICE, ARE NOT GETTING THE PROBLEM THE PROPER ATTENTION AND THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL. BASED ON THE VIN, MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECENT RECALL CRITERIA FOR ANY REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS CORRECTED BEFORE ANY MISHAP RESULTS FROM THIS? *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY HAS HAD ACCELERATION (DECELERATION) PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AFTER I RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR, MANY TIMES, THE CAR FAILS TO SLOW DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS (BOTH IN SPEED AND RPM). I THEREFORE HAVE TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE FAR MORE SEVERELY AND URGENTLY THAN I WOULD IF THE CAR SLOWED DOWN WHEN I RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR. I'VE GONE TO MULTIPLE DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT I'VE BEEN IGNORED EACH TIME. THE DEALERS ALL HAVE SAID THAT "IT'S A TOYOTA..ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE CARS...THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM. BUT IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIX IT." IN OCTOBER OF 2007, I NARROWLY MISSED GETTING INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE TREE BRANCHES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN I RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO BOTH SWERVE AND BRAKE REALLY HARD TO TRY TO MISS THE TREE BRANCHES. ONE OF THEM STRUCK THE RIM OF MY TIRES, BENDING IT A BIT. THE ACCELERATION (OR DECELERATION) PROBLEM HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES EACH WEEK. I'VE HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS (MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE ADDITIONAL BRAKING REQUIRED TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE) FAR EARLIER THAN WITH OTHER CARS I'VE OWNED. EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL TO "FIX" THE ACCELERATOR--THE RECALL ONLY RELATES TO POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE WITH THE FLOOR MATS, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ACCELERATOR SYSTEM. I HOPE THE NHTSA LOOKS FURTHER INTO THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE WITH TOYOTAS A

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AT A SPEED OF 35 MPH, I ATTEMPTED TO STOP NORMALLY TO SITUATE MY CAR BEHIND A CHEVY TAHOE, WHO WAS WAITING ON A RED LIGHT. DESPITE PRESSING THE BRAKES AND PUMPING THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES, I CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD. MIND YOU, I HAVE ALREADY HAD TOYOTA'S RECALL FIXED AT THE ALBANY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN GEORGIA. THE ONLY REASON THAT I DID NOT HIT THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME WAS THAT I RAN OFF THE ROAD. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) 2007 CAMRY ACCELERATES AT A WHIM FOR 2-3 SECONDS. IT HAPPENS VERY IN FREQUENT, THE LAST TIME ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AGO. HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY STATE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING, UNLESS IT HAPPENS OR IS REPRODUCED FOR THEM. I REPORTED THIS BY PHONE TO NHTSA BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY FEED BACK AS I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE AND E-MAIL AND FOLLOW UP LETTER. [XXX] *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH HAS A STICKY GAS PEDAL. IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY CAR RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE TO UNDER CARRIAGE AND FRONT SPOILER AS DIRT AND DEBRIS BECAME DEEPLY EMBEDDED. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE CONTINUES TO HAVE RUNAWAY UNINTENDED ACCELERATION DESPITE THE VEHICLE UNDERGOING A SERIES OF MODIFICATIONS AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN AUBURN, CA. IT HAS HAPPENED PRIOR TO BE FIXED AND HAS HAPPENED ONCE SINCE BEING FIXED. *TR

TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATOR PEDAL FIX NOT ACCEPTABLE...WAY TOO SMALL PEDAL AFTER BEING CUT HAVING JUST RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICES I QUICKLY MADE MY APPOINTMENT TO COMPLETE ALL THREE (3) TOYOTA RECALLS FOR MY 2007 CAMRY. PRIOR TO DROPPING MY CAMRY OFF AT QUEENSBORO TOYOTA I PERFORMED MY "DUE DILIGENCE" AND RESEARCH THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING PART NUMBER 15772-31030 USED FOR RECALL #SSC-90K. GOOGLE AND BING RESEARCHES CLEARLY ALLUDED TO USING PART NUMBER 15772-31030 WHICH IS A 1-PIECE SOLID METAL TUBE VERSUS THE TROUBLE PRONE 3-PIECE 04009-33131 USED BY THE DEALER. I REQUESTED PART NUMBER 15772-31030 BE USED TO EFFECT THE REPAIR AND EVEN OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE PART OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. MY CONCERN IS THIS IS MY FIRST TOYOTA VEHICLE HAVING DECIDED TO WEAN MYSELF OFF DOMESTICALLY MADE VEHICLES DUE TO A PERCEIVED QUALITY LACKING IN DOMESTICALLY MANUFACTURER'S VEHICLES. I EVEN RELUCTANTLY PURCHASED A 7-YR 100K TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR PEACE OF MIND HAVING HAD TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES WITH TOYOTA VEHICLES IN THE EARLY 1970'S. I AM NOT HAPPY HAVING HAD TO SETTLE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM PRONE PART FOR RECALL SSC-90K AND BELIEVE THIS IS TOYOTA'S WAY OF DELAYING A PROPER VIABLE OIL LINE FIX UNTIL MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT IN WHICH CASE IT WILL BE ON "MY DIME" TO FIXED AN ALREADY INEVITABLE REPAIR ONCE AGAIN. I AM ALSO NOT TOO THRILLED WITH ALSO HAVING MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL "CUT" AND I ALREADY FIND MY FOOT SLIPPING OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AS I ACCELERATE OR LET OFF THE GAS WHEN I DRIVE. MY WIFE REF

TOYOTA CAMRY RECALL WAS "CORRECTED" LAST MONTH, AS TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ISSUE. THE ACCELERATION NOW SEEMS MORE ERRATIC THAN BEFORE. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS A PEDAL PROBLEM, RATHER AN ELECTRONIC ONE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR ON THE OPEN ROAD BUT AM SCHEDULED TO DO SO SOON. I AM 72, IF I SHOULD HAVE A PROBLEM, I'M SURE THAT TOYOTA CORP. WOULD ATTRIBUTE IT TO MY AGE OR SOME OTHER EXCUSE. THE PEDAL IS NOT CONSISTENTLY RESPONSIVE ON ACCELERATION, SEEMS TO HAVE A DELAY AT TIMES, THEN SUDDENLY KICKS IN. IT IS INCONSISTENT ENOUGH THAT THE DEALER CAN TEST IT AND FIND NOTHING WRONG. I WOULD LIKE AN OUTSIDE EVALUATION BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS TO ME OR TO OTHER OWNERS IN THE SAME SITUATION. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WHEN ONLY HAD AROUND 500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THE CLUTCH STARTED STICKING AND THE DEALER TRIED TO ACT AS IF I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT UNTIL THEY TESTED IT AND IT HAPPENED TO THEM. A NEW CLUTCH WAS THEN PUT IN AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. I NOW HAVE 31000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND TODAY AS I WAS LEAVING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AT WORK THE CLUTCH STUCK AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND WAIT UNTIL THE CLUTCH POPPED UP. I WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BUT 1 ST THING ON MONDAY I WILL HAVE IT AT THE DEALER. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS, HAVE ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEEN REPORTED? IF NOT THEN MINE IS THE FIRST AND THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SPEED UP WITHOUT MY HELP MANY TIMES SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR. WAS SENT A RECALL LETTER FOR FLOOR MATS SAYING THIS WAS CAUSING THE CARS TO ACCELERATE BUT WHEN THE CAR TAKEN IN WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DIFFERENT MATT CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED FOR THE POWER TRAIN: CLUTCH ASSEMBLY: PEDAL LINKAGE, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE RAPID/SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF REPAIRS. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE REPAIR WILL NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE WITH THE STICKY PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN KINGSPORT TN FOR MY RECALL. WHEN I GOT THERE I TOLD THEM HOW MY VEHICLE ACTED. WHEN I STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I START TO PULL OUT FROM THE LIGHT I AM PUSHING THE GAS AND IT HESITATES AND DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO PULL OUT SO I PUSH HARDER AND THEN IT JERKS AND TAKES OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL THAT WAS NORMAL. AFTER THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MODIFICATION OVERRIDE SYSTEM MY CAR. MY CAR DOES NOT DRIVE RIGHT OR FEELS GOOD THERE FEELS LIKE SOMETHING WRONG WITH STEERING. AND THE HESITATION AT A RED LIGHT IS STILL THE SAME. ALSO IF WE SLOW DOWN FOR A CURVE YOU CAN HEAR THE CAR MOTOR SPEEDING UP AND THEN WHEN YOU GO TO GIVE IT GAS IT JERKS AND TAKES OFF FLYING.

MY FATHER WAS DRIVING DOWN A SIDE STREET HE KNEW WELL, HAD ONLY GONE TWO BLOCKS, AND ACCELERATED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION,BUT INSTEAD OF TURNING LEFT, ACCORDING TO WITNESSES HE ACCELERATED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND WAS BROADSIDED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. HE WAS UNABLE TO TELL US WHAT HAPPENED AS HE SUFFERED A HEAD INJURY IN THE ACCIDENT, AS WELL AS A BROKEN COLLARBONE AND RIB. THE WITNESSES SAID THAT HE NEVER SLOWED DOWN AT ALL, AND WAS GOING WELL ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS WAS VERY ATYPICAL FOR MY FATHER, WHO DROVE VERY SLOWLY AND HAD NEVER HAD A TICKET IN HIS LIFE. WE STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT THE CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL, AND THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE EYEWITNESS DESCRIPTION. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDSTILL, AND RPM KEEPS DROPPING FROM 2000 RPM TO 1000 RPM FOR A SECOND AND BACK TO 2000 RPM AS I'M TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED. IT COULD MAKE MY CAR TO SLIDE ON ICY ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS ENGINE BRAKING, AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I JUST TOUCH GAS PEDAL AND LET GO RPM DROPS AND GOES BACK TO CRUISING RPM ALL IN 1 SECOND. THIS HAPPENS AS SOON AS I REMOVE MY FOOT OF THE GAS PEDAL, CAUSING LIKE BRAKING FEELING. I TOLD TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN GUELPH, ONTARIO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEIR MASTER SERVICE ADVISOR CRAIG ALLEN SAYS THAT IS NORMAL. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ISSUE. *TR

THE GAS GOT STUCK ON OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. WE INFORMED OUR DEALER WHEN WE WENT FOR THE SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, AND THEY INSURED THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK. NOW, WITH THE NEW TOYOTA DEVELOPMENTS, WE WENT BACK TO A DEALERSHIP TO RECEIVE THE MODIFICATIONS ON MY GAS PEDAL. BUT THEY SAID THAT MY GAS PEDAL MODEL IS ONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AND DOES NOT NEED ANY MODIFYING. THEY DID CLAIM TO HAVE SANDED DOWN THE PEDAL TO PREVENT IT FROM GETTING STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT, AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY INSTALLED NEW SOFTWARE THAT WOULD OVERRIDE THE GAS PEDAL WHEN I SLAM ON THE BRAKES IF IT DID EVER GET STUCK AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE FREELY. WHEN WE ASKED FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE, NONE COULD BE PROVIDED. ALSO, WHEN WE SPOKE TO OUR ORIGINAL DEALER, THEY DENIED THAT WE EVER REPORTED THIS INCIDENT. *TR
