I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT WAS PART OF THE GAS PEDAL RECALL WHERE SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS PERIODICALLY HAPPENING WITH MY CAR. I HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO BUT ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY CAR WAS SPEEDING UP WHEN I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED, I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON ME! THERE HAVE BEEN 2 MORE OCCURRENCES OF THIS SINCE THEN AND I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR REPAIRS WORKED OR ITS THE COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL OR SOMETHING, I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE HAVING ME BRING IT BACK IN BUT THEY AREN'T SURE WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE SINCE THEY ALREADY FIXED THE RECALLED PEDAL. YOU NEED TO HAVE TOYOTA DO MORE, IT CLEARLY WAS WHAT THEY INSISTED IT WAS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING A 2007 CAMRY IN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA ON JANUARY 29, 2009. INVOLVED IN A SOLO ACCIDENT AND I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION SO I HAVE AMNESIA ABOUT THE ACTUAL ACCIDENT. POST-ACCIDENT PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE INVESTIGATOR FROM MERCURY INSURANCE COMPANY CONFIRMS IN TWO SEPARATE PHOTOS THAT CARPETED FLOOR MAT WAS WEDGED UP INTO THE BRAKE/ACCELERATOR AREA. I HAVE FILED A CIVIL LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC. IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY. TOYOTA HAS YET TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACCIDENT. FIRST CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE IS SCHEDULED FOR MAY OF THIS YEAR. *TR

AFTER RICE TOYOTA IN GREENSBORO "FIXED" MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ON 2/27/2010 FOR BOTH RECALLS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN SURGE IN ACCELERATION TWICE. ONCE FROM A STANDING START WHEN I SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN I INTENDED, THE SECOND TIME WAS IN TRAFFIC WHILE ACCELERATING TO A HIGHER SPEED LIMIT THE CAR SURGED PAST THE LIMIT. PLEASE LOOK AT THE ECU'S, THIS CAR HASN'T BEEN RIGHT SINCE THE FIRST TANK OF GAS WAS USED, IT'S AS IS THE ECU ISN'T ALLOWING THE TIMING TO ADVANCE AND RETARD PROPERLY. *TR

BACK IN JULY 2009, COMING TO A STOP ON BOND ROAD AND WATERMAN IN ELK GROVE, CA MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLER ACCELERATED AND HIT SUV IN FRONT OF ME. NO INJURY WAS CAUSED, MAJOR DAMAGE TO FRONT END OF MY AUTOMOBILE NO DAMAGE TO SUV. TOOK CAR TO FOLSOM TOYOTA, REPORTED INCIDENT, THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT CAR, AT THE TIME WAS NOT ADVISE OF PROBLEMS TOYOTA WAS HAVING WITH ACCELERATOR. WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR, THEN VSC ALARM WAS COMING ON, THEN THAT BATTERY IN TWO (2) YEAR OLD CAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS THE KEY BATTERY, THEY INSISTED THAT IT WAS THE CAR BATTERY. WHICH I QUESTIONED BECAUSE IT SAID KEY BATTERY. THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY, THE COMPANY WHO SOLD ME THE BATTERY WHEN CAR WAS ONLY TWO YEAS OLD. THEN WHEN WE BROUGHT OLD BATTERY BACK TO THEM AS A CORE. THE GUY QUESTIONED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY. THE GREEN EYE WAS STILL GREEN AND HE THOUGHT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH BATTERY. THE CAR DIES TWICE LEAVING MYSELF AND DAUGHTER STRANDED AT MY DAUGHTERS DANCE CLASS WHERE I HAVE TO CALL MY FATHER A RETIRED MECHANIC TO COME AND JUMP MY BATTERY. THEN I WENT TO ELK GROVE TOYOTA AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK BATTERY IN KEY THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY IN KEY AND THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. IN SEPTEMBER 2009 I RECEIVED LETTER REQUIRING THAT I TAKE FLOOR MATS OUT OF CAR. BUT STILL THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY WHEN PUTTING CRUISE CONTROL. SO NOW WORRIED TO DRIVE CAR. THE FLOOR MAT WERE NEVER THE CAUSE OF ACCELERATION. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 4 DOOR, 4 CYLINDER, AUTOMATIC. MY WIFE AND TWO DAUGHTERS ALSO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE RECALL FOR THE MAT, GAS PEDAL, AND THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED AND SERVICED BY THE DEALER. OUR PROBLEM IS; WE START UP THE CAR AND MOVE INTO TRAFFIC, WE TURN THE AIR- CONDITIONING ON HIGH. WE PULL UP TO A RED LIGHT AND STOP. WE PUSH DOWN THE ACCELERATOR AND HAVE TO PUSH A LITTLE HARDER TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING. WE ENTER THE INTERSECTION AND GO TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, WE ARE MOVEINAT APPROXIMATELY 3 - 6 M.P.H. THE TRANSMISSION IS IN 1ST GEAR AND THEN NOTHING. THE CAR HESITATES AND WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. MY NEXT REACTION IS TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR HARDER, NO RESPONSE, PUSH HARDER AND THEN THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE. THIS HESITATION IS DANGEROUS. IT IS LONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE A COLLISION. I KNOW AND EXPECT POWER TO BE DRAINED OFF THE ENGINE WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS USED. WE HAVE HAD OTHER VEHICLES WITH AC. THIS IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER HESITATION OR SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. I REPEAT: IT IS DANGEROUS! I HAVE TOLD THE DEALER THREE TIMES ABOUT THIS BUT THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DRIVER STATED THAT AFTER SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE INTERMITTENTLY ON IT'S OWN WHEN SHE DROVE IN REVERSE OR DRIVE GEARS. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY. THE STRUTS ON THE VEHICLE WERE ALSO DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES AND SHE HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

I HAVE PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT THERE IS A LOUD NOISE AND ALSO VIBRATION IN GAS PEDAL WHEN I STOP AT RED WHEN GREEN LIGHT STAR GAS PEDAL TAKE LONG TIME RESPOND I TAKE TO DEALER THEY DON'T ANYTHING WITH MY PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A METAL BAR THAT CAUSED THE ACCELERATOR TO STICK. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS RECALLED. THE DEALER TOLD HER THAT THEY WOULD PUT HER NAME ON A LIST OVER A MONTH AGO AND THEY WOULD CALL HER. THE CONTACT IS VERY DISAPPOINTED SINCE SHE HAS CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS ONLY BEEN ABLE TO LEAVE A VOICEMAIL. NO ONE HAS RETURNED HER CALLS. THE CONTACT HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURES AT THIS TIME. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53000.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I RECEIVED A TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2007 CAMRY. THE NOTICE DESCRIBED THREE SEPARATE REPAIRS/REMEDY TO MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST REPAIR INVOLVED INSTALLING A METAL SHIM IN THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH I HAD THE DEALER PERFORM. THE SECOND "REMEDY" INVOLVED A TECHNICIAN CUTTING A SECTION OFF THE END OF THE GAS PEDAL AND CUTTING OUT A SECTION OF PADDING FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS FLOOR PAN CARPET. I DECLINED THIS WORK AS I HAVE A NEWLY DESIGNED AWFM PROPERLY SECURED IN PLACE AND DO NOT BELIEVE THIS "REMEDY" WOULD RETAIN THE OEM QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE - TOYOTA SHOULD REDESIGN AND INSTALL A NEW GAS PEDAL INSTEAD. THE THIRD REPAIR INVOLVED INSTALLING A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM. OF THE THREE REPAIRS, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AS IT OFFERS A BROAD LEVEL OF PROTECTION AGAINST UNINTENDED ACCELERATION VERSUS THE NARROW LEVEL OF PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE OTHER TWO. WHEN I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM INSTALLED THEY REFUSED TO DO THE WORK WITHOUT ALSO PERFORMING THE GAS PEDAL AND CARPET PADDING MODIFICATION "REMEDY". I EXPLAINED MY DISPUTE OVER THIS WORK AND WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. AFTER A FORTY MINUTE WAIT I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HILDA. SHE ALSO STATED THAT TOYOTA WAS UNWILLING TO INSTALL THE BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM WITHOUT DOING THE OTHER MODIFICATION WORK. WHEN I ASKED HER FOR A REASON SHE ST

PURCHASED A 07 CAMRY FROM DOWN EAST TOYOTA IN MAINE 6-2-07 NOTICED NEXT DAY A DANGEROUS HESITATION PROBLEM WITH CAR, CALLED DET SERVICE DEPT 2-4-07 WITH COMPLAINT I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE FOR A WEEK SO CAR COULD LEARN DRIVING HABITS, SO I DID. PULLED INTO TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES THAT WEEK AND FEW TIMES THE CAR WOULD HESITATE AND JUMP FORWARD, ON 6-11-07 CALLED DET SERVICE DEPT AGAIN BECAUSE THAT MORNING TRYING TO PULL OUT OF DRIVEWAY CAR HESITATED JUMPED FORWARD ALMOST HITTING A UPS TRUCK, VERY DANGEROUS!! WHILE TALKING TO SERVICE DEPT THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT DRIVING THE CAMRY FOR A WEEK WOULD NOT HELP THE HESITATION PROBLEM BUT NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE LIKE THE 07 V6 CAMRY THEY HAD TO PULL ALL OFF THE LOT FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHEN AND IF TOYOTA COMES UP WITH A FIX THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW. I TRADED THE CAMRY BACK IN BECAUSE OF THE DANGEROUS HESITATION PROBLEM AND LOST 7000.00 IN TEN DAYS?? WHEN I QUESTIONED KEVIN KELLY THE GENERAL MGR I WAS TOLD BY HIM THAT HE DID HOLD A GUN TO MY HEAD TO BUY THE CAMRY OR TO TRADE IT BACK IN, AND NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT LOOSING 7000.00 BECAUSE HE CAN DO AS HE WANTS. THE SALESMAN DON SCOTT TOLD US THAT THE SATURDAY HE SOLD US OUR CAMRY HE SOLD THREE AND TWO HAVE COME BACK BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, TRACY SIMPSON AT PAPER SIGNING TOLD US THAT SHE ALSO HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. WITH BEING TOLD NO FIX FOR A DANGEOUS PROBLEM LIKE THIS, TRADING A CAR BACK IN 10 DAYS LOSING 7000.00 IS JUST WRONG!!! NOW TO THIS DATE THREE TSB'S OUT FOR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CAMRY XLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS FIXED FOR THE ACCELERATOR RECALL ON FEBRUARY 22, 2010. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH OR LESS, THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT HER RPMS STARTED INCREASING. WHEN SHE TOOK HER FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE TO A FRIENDS HOME THAT WAS NEARBY; HOWEVER, SHE OBSERVED THE ACCELERATOR RELEASE AND THEN WATCHED IT IMMEDIATELY GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR ON ITS OWN. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS DIAGNOSING THE FAILURE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

THE EXTERIOR PAINT ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS SO DEFECTIVE THAT IT SIMPLY WASHED RIGHT OFF WHILE IT WAS BEING WASHED AT A CAR WASH. WHILE USING THE CAR WASH SPRAYER, I APPROACHED THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND NOTICED THE PAINT WASH OFF ABOUT A 2"X3" SPOT. IT FLEW OFF WITH HARDLY ANY FORCE FROM THE CAR WASH AS THOUGH IT WAS NOT EVEN ATTACHED. ONE COULD NOW SEE THE GREY PRIMER THAT WAS BELOW THE BLACK PAINT, AS THE PRIMER REMAINED INTACT. THE BLACK EXTERIOR PAINT PEELED RIGHT OFF THE CAR. BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY, I TOOK THE CAR TO DENNISON TOYOTA TO BE REPAIRED. THEIR EMPLOYEE SAID TO BRING THE CAR BACK WHEN THE TOYOTA'S REGIONAL PAINT WARRANTY EXPERT WAS IN TOWN, SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. AFTER DOING THIS, I WAS VERY SADDENED TO LEARN THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT REPAIR THE FAULTY PAINT BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN REPAINTED ALREADY AND THEY WOULD ONLY WARRANT, THEIR OWN PAINT. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN REPAINTED BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE NOW VISIBLE PRIMER COLOR WAS NOT THE COLOR THEY USED. THEY SAID THEY USED A BLACK PRIMER BUT THIS WAS A LIGHTER GREY. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH ONLY 22K MILES, SO I KNEW IT HAD NOT BEEN REPAINTED AS THE CARFAX WAS CLEAN, AND THE GREY PRIMER WAS VISIBLE UNDER VARIOUS SCRATCHES IN THE PAINT ON ALL SIDES OF THE CAR. WHY ON EARTH WOULD SOMEONE STRIP AND REPRIME THE ENTIRE CAR? DISGRUNTLED, I EMAILED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. TODAY, THEY GOT BACK TO ME AND CONFIRMED THE PRIMER COLOR SHOULD BE A LIGH

WE OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND HAVE GONE TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL TAKING CARE OF. AND TO OUR SURPRISE OUR GAS PEDAL WAS CUT TO A SIZE MUCH SMALLER THAN ITS ORIGINAL VERSION. WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THIS SOLUTION FOR THIS RECALL, NOR HAVE SEEN ANYTHING ON THE MEDIA THAT STATES THIS IS WHAT IS BEING DONE FOR A SOLUTION. THE GAS PEDAL IN THIS FORMAT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND MY FOOT DOES NOT SIT PROPERLY ON THE PEDAL AS IT SHOULD AND DID BEFORE THIS ADJUSTMENT. WE FEEL THAT A NEW GAS PEDAL SHOULD BE INSTALLED. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO NEW PARTS FOR RECALLED ITEMS, NOT DAMAGED ITEMS IN A NEW VEHICLE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST WITH THIS MATTER OR ADDRESS TOYOTA CORP REGARDING THIS SOLUTION? *TR

AT THE SPEED OF LESS THAN APROX 15-20 MILES ON A TURN, CAR SPUN OFF AND LOST CONTROL. CAUSED WHEELS TO CRASH INTO CURB, AND SEVERELY DAMAGED. NOTICED OIL ON THE TIRE SURFACE. MOVED CAR OUT OF TOAD WAY. CAR SPILLED LOT OF OIL. THE TOYOTA DEALER ASSESSED, AND TOLD US THAT THE OIL HOSE (VVT-I) HAS RUPTURED, CAUSING OIL LEAK. TOYOTA LATER INFORMED THAT THERE IS A SO CALLED "LIMITED CAMPAIGN" TO REPLACE THESE HOSES. THEY ARE DENYING THAT THE OIL LEAK WAS THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENT. THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANY THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. THE WRITTEN RESPONSE FROM DOES NOT EVEN SATISFACTORILY EXPLAIN THEIR REASONING FOR DENYING CLAIM. *TR

SUDDEN FORCEFUL ACCELERATION OF A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID, NOT DUE TO FLOOR MAT OR STICKING GAS PEDAL (VIN NUMBER STARTED WITH A J SO WAS NOT PART OF SUBSEQUENT RECALL FOR GAS PEDAL PROBLEMS), WHILE EASING INTO A HEAD-IN PARKING SPACE. FORCEFULLY HITTING THE BREAK DID NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE AND IT ONLY STOPPED, AND WAS TOTALED, WHEN IT WAS STEERED INTO A CONCRETE LIGHT POLE TO AVOID ENTERING A BUSY STREET. THE ACCELERATION WAS SO FORCEFUL THAT THE CAR HIT AND WENT OVER TWO APPROXIMATELY 8" CONCRETE SIDES ON A PLANTER AND ONLY STOPPED WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND RIGHT FRONT PORTION OF THE VEHICLE HIT THE CONCRETE LIGHT POLE. THE FORCE WAS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SEVERE SOFT TISSUE INJURIES TO THE LEFT CHEST THAT TOOK 6 MONTHS TO FULLY HEAL FROM THE RESTRAINT OF THE TRI-POINT SEAT BELT. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAD THE RECALL FIXES FOR THE GAS PEDAL AND MAT INTERFERENCE COMPLETED LAST WEEK. AS A RESULT OF THAT "REPAIR" THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, AND THE VEHICLE IDLES VERY FAST IN REVERSE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE PROPERLY. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK VSC CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON, WE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA ON FRIDAY AND SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE "REPAIR" AND THAT IT WOULD CLEAR BY ITSELF, IT HAS NOT. *TR

WHEN HEADING SOUTH ON 57, AND SPEEDING UP, MY CAR KEPT ON ACCELERATING AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET IN ORDER TO SLOW IT DOWN. IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED ONCE, ON THE DATE BELOW. THE CAR IS GOING TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED. *TR

ON MAY 19, 2009 I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT. THIS OCCURRED DUE TO A FAULTY ACCELERATOR MECHANISM THAT CAUSED UNEXPECTED BURST OF SPEED.THIS WAS THE WAS THE ONLY OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAD A RECALL AND DID THE REQUIRED REPAIRS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 30-35 MPH ON NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE "CRUISE CONTROL CONTROL" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WERE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF BRAKING AND THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENT. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN INCREASE OF ACCELERATION UNEXPECTEDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL DEFECT. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION WITH THE WARNING INDICATOR. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY PEDAL ISSUES*CW THE CONSUMER STATED TWICE IN THE 4 YEARS HE HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD REV WHILE IN PARK. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, HE THOUGHT HE INADVERTENTLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR. HOWEVER IT HAPPENED MORE RECENTLY AND HE KNOWS FOR A FACT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAS PEDAL. RECENTLY, THE CONSUMER NOTICED A SERIOUS HESITATION PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES WHEN THE CONSUMER PRESSED THE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SMOOTHLY, OTHER TIMES IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THERE WAS NO GAS GOING INTO THE ENGINE, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WOULD TAKE OFF. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS TRANSMISSION OR FUEL INJECTED RELATED. *JB

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CAR ACCELERATED GOING 10 MILES A HOUR IN A PARKING LOT WITH OUT WARNING. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE RACE. I PUT THE BREAK ON AS HARD AS I COULD PRESS DOWN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. PEOPLE WERE WALKING ON MY RIGHT, I SAW THE CEMENT PILLAR AND TURN THE WHEEL TO HIT THAT INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND IN 3 YEARS RECEIVED LETTERS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PEDAL. ALL 3 TIMES I TOOK THE LETTER INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT MY PEDAL. NOW AFTER THE ACCIDENT THE SERVICE MANAGER TRIED TO BLAME ME. I REQUESTED TO MEET WITH A TOYOTA REP. THE REP ALSO TRIED TO BLAME ME. WHEN I PUSHED THE ISSUE IT CAME OUT THAT MY CAMRY WAS ONE WITH THE PEDAL THAT COULD GET STUCK ON A FLOUR MAT. THE TOYOTA REP, ROB BROWN SAID WHEN THE CAR IS FIXED THEN WE WILL SEND IT OVER TO THE OTHER DEPARTMENT TO MODIFY YOUR PEDAL. I TOLD THE REP ROB BROWN AND THE COLLISION MANAGER I WANT DOCUMENTATION ON THE MODIFICATION WORK DONE ON THE PEDAL. THERE WAS SO MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO MY CAR THAT THOSE REPAIRS ARE STILL NOT DONE 3 WEEKS LATER. I VERY WELL COULD HAVE KILLED PEOPLE THAT DAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS HOSELTON AUTOMALL [XXX]. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONSUMER STATED THE JACK WAS POSITIONED EXACTLY AS THE OWNERS MANUAL STATED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS JACKED UP, AND HE BEGAN CHANGING THE TIRE, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LEAN AND THEN FELL OFF THE JACK AND THE VEHICLE FELL TO THE GROUND. THE CONSUMER STATED THE JACK WAS NOT THE PROBLEM, IT WAS THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE THAT WAS TOO WEAK. UPDATED 04/01/10 *BF UPDATED 07/06/10*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. WHILE TRAVELING 5 MPH AND UP AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY PICKED UP SPEED AND WOULD OFTEN HESITATE. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL) AND THE RELATED REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT SINCE THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ANY FURTHER.

THERE WAS A DELAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. UPDATED 09/16/10

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE STATED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED SUDDENLY AND ROARED VERY LOUDLY SIMILAR TO AN EXPLOSION. SHE COULD NOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS IF IT WAS PREPARED TO TAKE OFF AT FULL SPEED. SHE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALER, HOWEVER SHE COULD NOT GET THROUGH. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET BEEN CONTACTED. SHE WAS NOT AWARE IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL OR NOT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 60,000.

THERE IS A FEW SECONDS DELAY WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON MY '07 CAMRY SE. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR FROM THE VERY BEGINNING TO OTHERS WHO SAY THEY ALSO HAVE THAT ISSUE WITH THEIR CAMRY. ANY DELAY IN ACCELERATION IS A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY. NOW WITH ALL THE DEFECTS THAT TOYOTA SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN DENYING WITH THE ACCELERATION SYSTEM I REALIZE IT IS EVEN MORE GRAVE. *TR

FAX FWD LTR FM (NJ) RE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, REPLY TO NEWARK, NJ OFC. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS SLOWING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN THE PARKING LOT AND WAS AT THE POINT OF ENGAGING THE PARKING GEAR TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND TOOK OFF ON ITS ON. THE VEHICLE JUMPED OVER THE CURB AND ONTO A MAJOR ROAD. THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BURST ON IMPACT WITH THE CURB. THE CONSUMER WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY STRUTS LEAKING. CONSUMER STATES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING BRAKES AND TIRES REPLACED THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE LEAK AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT BACK TO MECHANIC THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING EXCESSIVELY AND COULD CAUSE THE TIRES TO WEAR OUT QUICKLY. *KB

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, IT VIBRATES STRONGLY, ALMOST VIOLENTLY, AT SPEED ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES/HOUR. WHEN RAINING OR NOT. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY STATED IT WAS NORMAL ABS BRAKING. IT DOES SCARE ME IN THAT I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD LEAD TO A MAJOR FAILURE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM ALTHOUGH I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE BELOW. *TR

IN SNOWY ROAD, TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 CAR FAILS TO STOP WITH THE BRAKE AND IT FEELS LIKE AS IF SOMETHING IS STICKING BETWEEN BRAKES. THIS CAR HAVE ABS SYSTEM INSTALLED SO DON'T KNOW IF IT IS SUPPOSED TO BEHAVE LIKE THAT. HOWEVER MY OTHER CAR WHICH RUNS ON DRUM BRAKE PERFORMS BETTER THAN THE TOYOTA. *TR

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 HAD A UNINTENDED ACCELERATION THAT CAUSES MY CAR CRASHED TO THE CAR INFRONT ME. TOYOTA DEALER DID SOMETHING IN THE CARPET AND ACCELERATION PEDAL YESTERDAY. I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR I STRONGLY BELIEVED THAT THE SENSOR OR THE ELECTRONICALLY THROTTLE ACTIVATE THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF MY CAR. I ALSO BELIEVED THAT TOYOTA ARE NOT BEING HONEST IN FINDING A SOLUTION TO THESE PROBLEMS. I DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE AGAIN THE DEATH ACCELERATION THAT MAY OCCUR WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. EVERYTHING TOYOTA DID TO MY CAR IS JUST BANDAID SOLUTION AND NOT SOLVING THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WHICHIS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE AS IN HAPPENED TO ALL OTHER HIGH SPEED THAT CANNOT BE STOPPED BY THE DRIVER, AND CAUSED DEATHS TO ALL PASSENGER. I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN THEIR SEATS AND EXPERIENCED WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH LIVING OR DEAD. YOUR QUESTION BELOW OF "WERE THERE ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES?" IS TOO VAGUE. I DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE DEATH WHILE DRIVING TOYOTA. *TR

THEY ADVISED HIM THAT HE WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER IN THE MAIL ON A LATER DATE AND THAT THEY WERE BEING SENT OUT IN WAVES. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AGAIN TO DETERMINE WHEN HE WOULD RECEIVE HIS RECALL LETTER AND HE WAS TOLD HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND WAS SAFE TO DRIVE.

MY CAR IS CAMRY, 2007. I HAD AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAULT EXPERIENCE ON THE WAY HOME FROM NEW YORK CITY TO BOSTON AT NIGHT ON JULY 05, 2009. MY WIFE AND MY MOTHER IN LAW WERE IN THE CAR. THE CAMRY SUDDENLY LOST OF POWER AFTER I TRIED TO ACCELERATE SPEED BY PRESSING A LITTLE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WE WERE ON UPHILL, NOT STEEP, JUST REGULAR ON I-84, 90 MILES AWAY FROM BOSTON AT THAT MOMENT, THE SPEED WAS 60 MILE/H. THE REASON I TRIED TO ACCELERATE WAS I FOUND MY CAR COULD NOT RUN FASTER THAN 60 MILE/H WHEN IT WENT UPHILLS ON THE TRIP. I SAW THE SPEED SLOWLY DROP FROM 60 TO 34 ON THE TOP OF THE HILLS. THEN I TRIED TO SPEED IT UP EVERY DOWNHILL BEFORE THE NEXT UP UPHILL. FINALLY WE MADE UP GET HOME. THE NEXT DAY, JULY 06, 2009 I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA AT WATERTOWN, MA. AFTER INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD MY CAR LOST MEMORY. MY CAR GOT RE-CALIBRATION. NOW CAR IS RUNNING WELL.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN COLD WEATHER: THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2007 ( 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4 CYL ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THIS OCCURS DURING COLD WEATHER ( LESS THAN 30 F) AND DURING THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WHEN I AM DRIVING WITH LIGHT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR AND REMOVE MY FOOT TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SLOWS DOWN AFTER 1 TO 2 SECONDS (TACHOMETER DROPS FROM 1800 RPM TO 1000 RPM) AND MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND. AFTER 1 TO 4 SECONDS, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR WILL THEN SPEED UP ( ANOTHER CLUNKING SOUND FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN). THE TACHOMETER JUMPS FROM 1000 TO 2000 RPM APPROXIMATELY. THIS OCCURS IN ALL GEARS AND IS SEVERE IN 3RD GEAR WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND BEGIN TO BRAKE. THE RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTION IS IMMEDIATE SKIDDING ON ICE OR SNOW COVER SURFACES. IF I AM IN A TURN, THE CAR WILL START SKIDDING IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND SO THE ROADS ARE OFTEN SLICK IN WINTER. I HAD REPORTED THIS TO SERVICE SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND WAS TOLD IT'S NORMAL, THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, THEY HAVE NO DIAGNOSTIC FAULTS, THEY CAN'T FIND MY SERVICE RECORDS, ETC. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE SLIDING ACCIDENTS IN WINTER WEATHER AND MAY HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST, PARTICULARLY WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS EVENT. *TR
