2007 Toyota Camry complaints

SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2007 CAMRY IN JUNE 2007, I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHERE MY CONSOLE LIGHTS (DASHBOARD, STEREO, ETC.) DIM AND BRIGHTEN SPORADICALLY. I DRIVE AND THE LIGHTS WILL SUDDENLY BRIGHTEN DRAMATICALLY. IT WILL REPEAT DURING THE DURATION OF MY TRIP. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THAT I DRIVE AT NIGHT, FROM THE FIRST NIGHT I DROVE HOME WITH A NEW CAR. IT IS UNRELATED TO ACCELERATION/DECELERATION OR ANYTHING I DO MECHANICALLY. NONE OF THE DASHBOARD CONTROLS CHANGE WHEN THE LIGHTS BRIGHTEN AND DIM. IT IS ONLY VISIBLE AT NIGHT, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM LIKELY OCCURS CONTINUOUSLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS INDICATES A DEEPER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA. *TW

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SURGES IN POWER IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN DECEMBER 2008. THEY SEEM TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD. COULD THIS BE PART OF THE RECALL PROBLEMS? SHOULD I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT? *TW

I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY 4CYLDR AUTOMATIC, THAT HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. FOR EXAMPLE IF I TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR A STOP, THE CAR WILL HESITATE LIKE IT IS STALLING AND THEN WILL PROCEED TO TAKE OFF. THIS IS AN INCONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT WHEN I COMPLAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER EXAMPLE IS THAT THE CAR EXHIBITS IS THAT WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN BUT AS YOU RE-APPLY YOUR FOOT THE CAR WILL HESITATE OR STALL UNTIL YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT AND RE-APPLY IT. I HAVE 60000 MILES ON MY CAR AND IT HAS HAD ALL THE TIMELY SERVICES DONE TO IT. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR UP UNTIL ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN. ROUGHLY 45000 MILES AGO. I FEAR THAT THIS MAY RESULT IN AN INABILITY TO DRIVE DEFENSIVELY AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I ARE AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS, AND WE DON'T FEEL THAT THIS IS AS A RESULT OF HARSH DRIVING. I DID TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS PART OF THE GAS PEDAL RECALL THAT IS GOING ON AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA WILL MAKE A TIMELY DECISION ON THIS AS I HAD HOPED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA IN THE FUTURE. *TW

CRUSE CONTROL PROBLEM. WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE MY CAR WILL ACELARATE AT A RATE OF SPEED THAT IS 3MPH (EST) OVER THE MPH THAT THE CRUSE CONTROL WAS SET AT. THE ACELARATIONS IS VERY FAST AND CAUSES THE CAR TO ACELARATE FASTER THAN THE TRAFFIC FLOW WHICH REQUIRES THE BRAKES TO BE APPLIED TO TURN OFF THE CRUSE CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO BE ALERT OR YOU CAN RUN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU PLUS THE BRAKING IN TRAFFIC CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS. ON A LEVEL ROAD THE CRUSE CONTROL WORK THE WAY IT SHOULD. *CN

THE LAST TOYOTA CAMRY I BOUGHT WAS IN 2007, IT WAS THE FIRST NEW CAMRY I EVER BOUGHT, I'VE OWNED 3 OTHERS IN MY LIFE, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST NEW ONE I EVER PURCHASED. APX 9 MONTHS LATER ME AND MY WIFE WENT TO THE FL KEYS AND WENT TO BAHIA STATE PARK, AND UPON LEAVING THE PARK, I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT WHEN GOING 10-15 MPH, THE CAR TOOK OFF AND WE ENDED UP HITTING A TREE HEAD ON. WE BOTH ENDED UP AT THE FISHERMAN'S HOSPITAL IN MARATHON ON OUR 2ND DAY ON VACATION ALONG WITH A $120 TKT FROM THE FL HIGHWAY PATROL. TWO WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR FLOOR MATS, I CALLED TOYOTA AND AFTER TALKING WITH A GIRL THERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE FLOOR MATS THAT WERE BEING RECALLED, I TOLD HER THAN THEY HAVE MORE THAN A MAT PROBLEM. SHE SAID I SHOULD SEND ALL INFO AS WELL AS MEDICAL BILLS TO THEM WHICH DID, I WAS NOTIFIED 2 WEEKS LATER THEY DETERMINED THAT THE ACCIDENT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR RECALL. AGAIN I TOLD THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH THAT IT SEEMS AS IF THEY HAVE MORE THAN A FLOOR MAT PROBLEM ,SUDDEN ACCELERATION? *CN UPDATED 03/05/10

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH I BELIEVE IS ONE OF THE VEHICLES THAT IS BEING RECALLED BECAUSE A FAULTY ACCELERATOR PEDAL. BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL, I WAS WONDERING IF AN ACCIDENT THAT MY WIFE HAD LAST YEAR WAS CAUSED BY THE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL? MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL PARKWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND DRY. MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE (TRAVELING AT A SPEED UNDER 25 MPH) AND HIT THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF HER. MY CAR SUSTAINED DAMAGE TOTALING $6,575.79. I WONDER IF A FAULTY ACCELERATOR WAS THE CAUSE OF MY WIFE'S ACCIDENT? *CN

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT IS PART OF BOTH RECALLS FOR THE FLOORMAT ISSUE AND THE ACCELERATION ISSUE. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAR IN AUGUST 2007, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IT IN AND REPAIRS WERE MADE, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO EXIST AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOTHING SERIOUS. IN FEBRUARY 2008, WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT IN MY VEHICLE WITH OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER AN A FRIEND. WE WERE COMING TO A STOP LIGHT AND THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF US AND OUR CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND WE HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. THERE WAS SEVERE FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, BUT THANKFULLY, NO REALLY BODILY INJURY TO THE PASSENGERS. AFTER PLACING A CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND EXPLAINING THE ACCELERATION ISSUE TO THEM THAT I BELIEVE WAS THE REASON FOR THE ACCIDENT, I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD NOT BE THE ISSUE AND THAT MY INITIAL ACCELERATION ISSUE HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN THAT ARE IN MY CAR EVERYDAY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. MY FLOORMAT ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND NEITHER HAS THE PEDAL ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WAY THIS SITUATION IS BEING HANDLED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE RIGHT AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY CAR AND I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS FIXED. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS *TR

DRIVING MY NEW TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ANNIVERSARY MODEL - AS I ENTERED A LOCAL SHOPPING AREA MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I COULDN'T STOP IT. MY FOOT WAS STRONGLY ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING FAST. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED ME WAS A DENSE ROW OF SHRUBS WHICH I WENT INTO AND WHICH CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO MY CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT AND SERVICE IT REGULARLY. THEY KEPT IT 2 DAYS AND SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE GAS PEDAL. I TOOK MY CAR TO A BODY SHOP FOR REPAIR WHICH COST ME $915.26. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT LEFT ME SCARED WHENEVER I DRIVE MY CAR. *TR

THIS PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THE TOYOTA GAS PEDAL RECALL. I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY AND MOVING IN A SLOW LANE, AND CHANGE LANE AND PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM OTHER CARS COMING BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING FAST ENOUGH. I NEVER HAD SUCH PROBLEM WITH OTHER CARS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL OCCASION (3 OR 4 TIMES), AND THE VERY LAST TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS THE SENSOR AND SOFTWARE ON THE SENSOR WORKS THIS WAY, AND THIS PROBLEM IS BY DESIGN. I TRIED CONTACTING TOYOTA, AND THEY SORT OF SHRUGS ME AWAY AND DID NOT RESPOND. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AFTER 4 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR AND I CAN REPRODUCE IT VERY EASILY. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU WOULD LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND. THANK YOU. *TR

ON FRIDAY JAN 29, 2010 I ARRIVED AT MY WORKPLACE IN PISCATAWAY, NJ. AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND WAS SLOWING INTO A PARKING SPOT, MY 2007 CAMRY WHICH I WAS DRIVING ACCELERATED AND TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN. BEFORE I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THE CAR HAD HIT A CURB, JUMPED OVER THE CURB AND ONTO A MAJOR ROAD. I DON'T KNOW HOW I AVOIDED A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A CAR ON THE ROAD. MY IMMEDIATE SENSE WAS TO STEER ONTO A NEARBY TREE TO AVOID GOING ONTO A BUSIER STREET NEARBY. THE FRONT TIRE HAD BURST ON IMPACT WITH THE CURB AND THAT PROBABLY HELPED SLOW THE CAR DOWN. AS I MATCHED ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR MANAGED TO STOP AND MIRACULOUSLY, I DID NOT HIT ANYBODY OR ANYTHING. IF THE CAMRY JUST HAD A STICKING GAS PEDAL, WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE CAR COULD HAVE GAINED ENOUGH ACCELERATION AND SPEED TO MAKE THE IMPACT IT MADE WITH THE CURB. I WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE CURB -- ABOUT 2 TO 3 FEET FROM THE CURB. MY CAR WAS ALMOST AT A FULL STOP. I BELIEVE THAT WHEN MY CAR SPED OFF, IT MUST HAVE HIT THE CURB AT ABOUT A SPEED OF 50 MILES PER HOUR OR MORE. I AM WORRIED THAT EVEN AFTER TOYOTA INSERTS THE SMALL CORRECTIVE METAL IN THE PEDAL, THE PROBLEM MAY STILL BE THERE. WOULDN'T IT BE UNFORGIVEABLY TRAGIC IF ANYONE SHOULD GET HURT OR DIE FROM A RUN-AWAY TOYOTA AFTER THE CORRECTIVE METAL HAS BEEN INSERTED? *TR SEE ALSO 10313254 WITH REPOSITORY LETTER

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, ONCE SHORTLY AFTER I GOT THE IN CAR IN 2007 AND AGAIN IN 2008 WHEN IT WENT IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE ISSUE: ON OCCASION, WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR WILL "SURGE" FORWARD MOVING FROM AN ALMOST IMPERCEIVABLE AMOUNT UP TO ABOUT A FOOT. THIS IS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN IN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND I HAVE NOTICED IT MORE WHEN THE CAR IS ON AN INCLINE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT OTHER TIMES. THIS IS NOT A FLOOR MAT ISSUE - MY FLOOR MAT HAS THE LOCKING MECHANISM TO KEEP IT FROM SLIDING AND WHEN CHECKED IT HAS NEVER BEEN UNDER OR AROUND EITHER THE BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR. THE INITIAL RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS THAT THE CAR COULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, MOVE FORWARD IF THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED AND THAT I PROBABLY JUST NOTICED THE ENGINE GOING FROM GAS TO HYBRID AND THOUGHT IT MOVED. THE SECOND COMPLAINT RECEIVED MUCH THE SAME REACTION. I WAS SHOCKED THAT THE HYBRIDS WERE NOT RECALLED WITH THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE BUT GIVEN PRIOR COMPLAINTS THE DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED TO CHECK THE CAR AGAIN. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY FAULTY ACCELERATOR ISSUE NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATOR HAD GOTTEN STUCK AND I HAD TO HIT IT A FEW TIMES WITH MY FOOT TO GET IT UNSTUCK. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME AND I HAD NO ONE ELSE IN THE CAR WITH ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UP AN INCLINE AT A LOW SPEED OF 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE WAS NON- RESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 28900. UPDATED 3/17/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER A FULL STOP ON S STEEP INCLINE. WHEN SHE REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, AND THE APPLY THE GAS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE IN NEUTRAL AND THEN RETURNED TO DRIVE. UPDATED 07/01/10.*JB

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, FROM TIME WE PURCHASED CAR IT WOULD ACCELERATE TO HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP, IE; GETTING ON FREEWAY, PASSING AND MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN CRUISE CONTROL WAS IN USE, (SAME AS STEVE WOSNIECK, APPLE COMPUTER IS REPORTING). I ADDRESSED THIS WITH DEALER ALMOST EVERY TIME I HAD CAR SERVICED, THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO COMPUTER. SAID COMPUTER TAKES 30 SEC. OR SO TO CATCH UP AND THAT CAUSED THE "LURCH" OR INCREASED SPEED. ON RECENT TRIP, CAR WENT AS FAST AS 85MPH (FROM 60) WHEN I FINALLY APPLIED BRAKE AND TURNED OFF CRUISE CONTROL. THERE WAS NO FLOOR MAT IN CAR, NO PROBLEM WITH PEDAL. ALSO HAD PROBLEM WITH CRUISE CONTROL, WOULD NOT HOLD SPEED ON DOWN-HILL DRIVE. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO WORK ON DOWN HILL. THIS HAPPENED ON EVEN MINOR DOWN GRADES, WOULD JUST TAKE OFF! ON 1/27/10 I WENT TO DEALER AND PURCHASED WHAT THEY SAID WAS A "SAFE" NO ISSUE 2010 CAMRY. THEY SAID THIS ONE HAD THE SAFE "PEDAL". NOW I AM HEARING ISSUES THAT IT IS WITH THE COMPUTER! I FEEL SKUNKED! I HAD MY CAR ALMOST PAID OFF AND NOW AM BACK IN DEBT FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS! NOT HAPPY. THIS PROBLEM WAS ON-GOING FROM THE TIME WE BOUGHT THE 2007, LAST INCIDENT WAS DATE BELOW ON WAY HOME FROM VEGAS. I DO FEEL LUCKY AND THANKFUL THAT SO FAR I AM ALIVE TO REPORT THIS! *TR

I HAVE HAD ISSUES GETTING MY TOYOTA CAMRY FIXED THAT WAS RECALLED. THE TOYOTA WEBSITE LISTED IT AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN THE MASSIVE RECALL HOWEVER, THE LOCAL DEALER STATED IT WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. I SPENT 2 HOURS ON HOLD BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TALK WITH A PERSON AT THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER CENTER WHO CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS ON THE LIST BUT CAME UP WITH EXCUSES ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED. I THEN CALLED BACK THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS EXTREMELY ASSERTIVE ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED - IT WILL NOT BE FIXED UNTIL HOPEFULLY SOMETIME NEXT WEEK THOUGH THE LOCAL DEALER INDICTED HE WAS STILL UNSURE IF IT WAS BEING RECALLED. APPARENTLY THERE IS A COMMUNICATION ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, LAST WEEK I HAD ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE GOING FORWARD A BIT ON ITS OWN. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT TOYOTA IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY...THE TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY STATED HE WOULD "HOLD TOYOTA'S FEET TO THE FIRE"....SO, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE TO ISSUES GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED SINCE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY BEING INCONVENIENCED HAVING TO TAKE TIME OFF FROM WORK TO GET CARS REPAIRED BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE TOYOTA COMPANY CARED MORE ABOUT MASS PRODUCING A CHEAPER VEHICLE AND SAVING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF HUMAN LIFE. *TR

MY CAR IS COASTING AT AROUND 40 MILES PER HOUR, THEN I STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE MY SPEED, MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY LUNGES/JERKS FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AND SUDDENLY. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. I CALLED TOYOTA WARRANTY SERVICES AND THEY SAID NO ONE ELSE SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT TYPE OF ISSUE AND THAT BECAUSE OF THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE--THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE, THEY DOWNPLAYED IT--AND SAID IT WAS HOW THE CAR OPERATES. BUT IF I DIDN'T STEP ON MY BRAKES THE LUNGING FORWARD WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR. THIS HAPPENED ALMOST DAILY. I WONDER IF IT HAPPENED TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL? THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE GUY ADJUSTED SOMETHING BUT THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS.... *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY FROM GRESHAM TOYOTA IN JUNE 2006. WE IMMEDIATELY HAD THROTTLE PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS INCLUDED: 1. STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL AND HAVING THE ENGINE REV UP TO HIGH RPM'S BUT NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED ON 2-3 OCCASIONS PER WEEK. THIS CONDITION WOULD HAPPEN ACROSS A VAST ARRAY OF CONDITIONS. YOU WOULD START TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND IT SEEMED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DISENGAGE. NEARLY CAUSING MANY ACCIDENTS(NEAR MISSES).AT OTHER TIMES YOU WOULD PULL AWAY FROM STOP SIGN AND AS YOU ENTERED THE INTERSECTION THE ENGINE WOULD REV AT HIGH RPM'S AND THE CAR WOULD GO NO WHERE. LEAVING YOU SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN ON YOU.. UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR! 2. OTHER TIMES YOU WOULD BE DRIVING ALONG AT 30-40-50 MPH AND THE CAR WOULD WILDLY ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL FOR NO REASON. AGAIN MANY HARROWING LIFE THREATENING EVENTS SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. UPON REPORTING THESE SAFETY ISSUES TO OUR LOCAL GRESHAM TOYOTA THEY DENIED THEIR WAS A PROBLEM. AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE ASSISTANT SERVICE DEPT MANAGER HE ADMITTED TOYOTA HAD A SOFTWARE PROBLEM WITH THEIR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND WERE WORKING ON FIXING IT. TO DATE TOYOTA HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX OUR CAR. IT IS SCARY TO EVEN DRIVE TO THE STORE. YOU ARE N EVER SURE WHEN THE NEXT LIFE THREATENING EVENT WILL RANDOMLY OCCUR. TOYOTA HAS PUT ALL CUSTOMERS IN HARMS WAY AND NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED SEVERELY FOR THEIR CARELESS DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE. CONTINUES TO

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH IN A PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CAUSED HER TO CRASH INTO A WALL. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. A POLICE REPORT IS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

ON 26TH JAN, ON THE WAY BACK HOME IN THE EVENING I WAS ON 105 FWY HEADED EAST. THE TIME WAS AROUND 7:50 PM. THE TRAFFIC WAS THERE SINCE IT WAS A RAINY DAY. I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 XLE MODEL. I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THE BRAKES TAKING EFFECT AND THE CAR HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AT AROUND 20 - 25 MILES/HR SPEED. NOW THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED AS WE SPEAK. IT MIGHT TAKE ABOUT 10 DAYS TO FIX IT I WAS TOLD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHEN HE DECREASED HIS HIGHWAY SPEED TO 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SINCE HIS VIN BEGAN WITH THE LETTERS A AND J. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

I AM AN ENGINEER SO NOT COMPLAINING IN REACTION TO THE NEWS BUT I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY LE (4 CYLINDER) WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND IN THE PAST 3 YEARS, IT HAS 'ACCELERATED' CONSIDERABLY SEVERAL TIMES WHENEVER I SWITCH OFF MY CRUISE CONTROL. I CAN COUNT ATLEAST 6 INSTANCES WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND BRAKING FIXED THE ACCELERATION SO LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS BUT ONLY CAUSED MY INCREASED HEART RATE. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE REALLY MAKES ME FEEL THAT THERE IS MORE GOING ON WITH TOYOTA THAN JUST THE BRAKE PEDAL. THAT'S WHY I HAVE NOT EVEN TAKEN IT IN YET TO GET THE 'FIX'. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY AND I AM SURE THERE ARE DEEPER ISSUES THAN WE CURRENTLY KNOW OF. *TR

MY 2007 CAMRY ACCELERATION HAS NOT FAILED TO STOP ACCELERATING, BUT IT HAS BEEN SLOW TO ENGAGE. THIS HAS MADE CROSSING INTERSECTIONS OR BLENDING WITH MOVING TRAFFIC DIFFICULT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER, AND THEY "REBOOTED" THE ACCELERATOR MECHANISM. I HAVE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES MAKING TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN BACKING UP. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS JUST BECAUSE THE CAR HAD BEEN SETTING. I WAS LATER TOLD THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN REGARDING THE BRAKES FOR THE MODEL, BUT SINCE I AM OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THERE IS NOTING I CAN DO BUT ASK FOR A REPAIR. I WAS ALSO REASSURED THE NOISE WAS NOT A DANGER SIGNAL, AND THERE WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. BASED ON WHAT I HAVE HEARD THE LAST FEW WEEKS, HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN? WHEN I SAID I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 50 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT MADE THIS KIND OF NOISE, THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE SAID "I HAD BEEN LUCKY!" NOTE MY DATES ARE ON OR ABOUT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GASOLINE MILEAGE AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SENSOR THAT CONTROLS THE STABILITY, TRACTION, AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FUNCTIONS HAVE ALSO FAILED AND CAUSED THE WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR WHEEL SENSOR TWICE AND WITHIN 48 HOURS THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE THIRD TIME THE REAR WHEEL SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED, THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE FOR 5 TO 6 WEEKS. THE DEALER RECENTLY REPLACED THE REAR WHEEL SENSOR AND THE ELECTRIC CONTROL MODULE AND VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND WHILE TRAVELING APPROX. 40 MPH - BRAKE PRESSED, WENT TO FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE, BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED A SECOND TIME, CAR STILL DID NOT DECELERATE. ABS DID NOT ACTIVATE. VEHICLE IS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. FRONT-END COLLISION, STRIKING VEHICLE STOPPED AHEAD ON ROADWAY - AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN CAMRY. TOTAL OF 4 CARS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT. CAMRY SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE FRONT-END DAMAGE, INSURANCE ADJUSTER ESTIMATE AT APPROX. $7800. NO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY INVOLVED. *JB

MY DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING WEST ON ROUTE 22. SHE SAW A RED LIGHT AHEAD. SHE TRIED TO SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN. SHE PUMPED THE BRAKES AND THE PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT STOP. SHE REAR ENDED A CAR AND THAT CAR WAS PUSHED INTO ANOTHER CAR. *JB

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE V6. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT WHERE I CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN, THE ENGINE WILL REV AND THE TACHOMETER WILL GO UP TO AROUND 4,000 RPM AND THEN WHAT SEEMS LIKE 30 SECONDS OR MORE, THE GEARS WILL FINALLY CATCH AND THE CAR WILL GO AND ALL THIS RESULTS IN A JERK LIKE REACTION GIVING ME A WHIPLASH FEELING. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED AND THE LATEST EXPERIENCE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GOING AROUND 55 MPH, ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WAS VERY FULL WITH TRAFFIC. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING NOT TO MENTION A MAIN CONCERN AS TO IF THE CAR WERE TO LOSE POWER, I WOULD HAVE TO SOMEHOW COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WHERE I WAS THERE WASN'T MUCH ROOM TO PULL OVER. *JB

NO CRASH AND NO INJURIES. YOU ARE INVESTIGATING TOYOTA GAS PEDAL PROBLEMS. I OWN A 2007 CAMRY HY-BRID AND HAVE NOTICED THAT ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH AND HAD THE CAR IN 'CRUISE CONTROL' AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR REALLY ACCELERATED VERY FAST TO INCREASE BY 10 - 15 MPH. I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT HAS ANY BEARING ON YOUR INVESTIGATION BUT THOUGHT I SHOULD PASS IT ON TO YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE VVTI LINE CAPTURED DRAINING ALL THE OIL AND SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSING A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR IS VERY SLOW TO RESPOND TO PEDAL ACTION. AT VARIOUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2006, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR 4 TO 5 SECONDS AFTER THE PEDAL IS PUSHED ALMOST CAUSING NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE VALVE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE DONE ALL THAT TOYOTA HAS ALLOWED THEM TO DO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 2007 CAMRY ON LEVEL ROADWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 70 MPH, TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT SEVERAL GEARS CAUSING CAR TO ACCELERATE AGGRESSIVELY AND ROCKET FORWARD. DURING ONE SUCH INSTANCE MY CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND ALMOST DROVE UNDER A TRACTOR TRAILER THAT WAS TRAVELING IN FRONT OF US. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PHENOMENON. WAS REPORTED TO TOYOTA ON 10/01/07. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SET UP FOR LOCAL DEALER TO CHECK OUT PROBLEM. AFTER TOYOTA HAD THE CAR FOR FULL DAY, THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. UPON PICKING UP THE CAR I FOUND THAT THEY HAD NOT DRIVEN THE CAR OFF THE DEALER LOT. UPON QUESTIONING THE SERVICE MANAGER, HOW THEY EXPECTED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT ACTUALLY DRIVING THE CAR, HE BEGAN SCREAMING AND WAS EXTREMELY RUDE. FINALLY, HE AGREED TO AN ADDITIONAL APPOINTMENT WITH A 'TECH PERSON' THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR WHILE THE TECH PERSON WAS RIDING IN THE CAR. THERE WAS NO FURTHER FOLLOW UP TESTING BY TOYOTA. I WILL NO LONGER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING THIS CAMRY. NOTE: THIS CAR HAD IT'S 'SOFTWARE' UPDATED PREVIOUSLY DUE TO SLUGGISH ACCELERATION IN TRAFFIC. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WAS SEEN AT OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND OUR LOCAL MECHANIC ABOUT 4 TIMES DURING LATE 2008 AND 2009 FOR FREQUENT HIGH REVVING OF THE ENGINE AND RPMS. NO "FIX" EVER OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I AM VERY CONCERNED NOW WITH THE CURRENT RECALL, AND I'M CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TODAY. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IF GOING OVER A BUMPY ROAD OR RAISED CRACKS IN THE STREET (ESSENTIALLY GOING FROM ANY "SMOOTH" TO A SUDDEN "NON-SMOOTH" SURFACE) THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES LOCKED, THEN SPRINGS BACK AND FORTH AND THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY YEARS AGO AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW PADS. THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THEY'VE NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM EXISTS. *TR

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATOR. I FIRST LEARNED OF THIS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2009. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY OF 2009. SINCE HAVING OWNERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE CAR JUST WANTS TO TAKE OFF. EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. LAST MONTH WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I TRIED TO MISS A TIRE ICE RUT. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND FOR SOME REASON IT SPED UP. WHEN I STOPPED MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. I ENDED UP IN A SNOW BANK AND HIT SOMEONE'S FENCE. I ENDED UP DOING $800.00 IN DAMAGE TO MY RIGHT FENDER AND $50.00 TO THE FENCE. I PAID THE PEOPLE FOR THE FENCE BUT I HAVE TO SAVE TO GET MY CAR FIXED.*TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY . THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT 60 MPH WHEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE ACCELERATOR PETAL HIT THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN . THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH EXTREME PRESSURE BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER 5 MINUTES THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE AGAIN.THE PETAL HIT THE FLOOR TRAVELING 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TRADED.THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. NO REPAIRS WERE DONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17000.

WE HAVE A 2007 CAMRY XLE AND THE CAR SURGES WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON AND GOING UP A HILL. IF THE CRUISE IS SET FOR 67MPH THE CAR HAS A ABOUT 2300 RPM. GOING UP A MODERATE HILL, THE CAR DOWNSHIFTS AND GOES TO 3400 RPM. IT THEN SURGES TO 4700 RPM WHICH PUTS THE DRIVERS HEAD INTO THE HEAD REST. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY OF 2007. WE CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALER(TOPSHAM, MAINE LEE TOYOTA), AND THEY SAID IT WAS WHAT THE COMPUTER WAS PROGRAMMED TO DO. I ASKED AGAIN THE 1ST TIME I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE AND RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE. IT DOES ONLY HAPPEN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, SO WE HAVE LEARNED TO SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL GOING UP ANY HILLS. WE HAVE A 2ND ISSUE WITH OUR 2007 CAMRY WHICH TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX. IF THE REAR DEFROST IS TURNED ON WHILE THE RADIO IS ON, THE RADIO GOES DEAD. THE RADIO ANTENNA AND DEFROST WIRES ARE IN THE SAME WINDOW, AND ONE IS SHORTING OUT THE OTHER. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE NO FIRE OCCURS TO TURN OFF THE RADIO WHILE THE REAR DEFROST IS ON. I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR ISSUES ON THE INTERNET AND TOLD TOYOTA SUCH. *TR

MY CAR ACCELERATED WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL TO APPLY BRAKES. I HIT THE REAR OF CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE I HIT THE CAR A SECOND TIME. MY CAR STOPPED WITH MY FOOT STILL ON BRAKE. NO ONE WAS INJURED. BOTH SHOOK UP. POLICE OFFICER BEHIND ME WITNESSED ACCIDENT. IT WAS RUSH HOUR ON EXPRESSWAY. MY CAR IS BEING REPAIRED. *TR

PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATOR STICKING AT HIGH SPEED (70 MPH); CONSIDERABLE LAG BETWEEN REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL AND DECELERATION. REQUIRED HARD BRAKING TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH A VEHICLE CRASHED INTO HIM WHICH ALSO CAUSED HIM TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS DAMAGED; YET, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE TO THE SEVERE INJURIES TO HIS FACE AND JAWS. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT IS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. THE CRASH WAS A HIT AND RUN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

ON JANUARY 2, 2010 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30 I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON ROUTE 146. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE POOR AND I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH. MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND WHEN I PROCEEDED TO HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL IT SKIPPED AND MY CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AT ALL. I BELIEVE THAT PARTIALLY THE ICY WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE TO BLAME BUT IN MY OPINION A 2007 VEHICLES BREAKS SHOULD NOT SKIP ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THE GAS PEDAL SHOULD ALWAYS WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIME NAMELY BALISE AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY PHONE CALLS REGARDING THE RECENT RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CALL VOLUME ON THIS ISSUE IS PROBABLY GIGANTIC YET WHEN A CUSTOMER, ESPECIALLY ONE HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE SHOULD BE PRIORITIZE. DUE TO THIS MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED OVER $9,000 IN DAMAGES AND I HAVE OVER $5,000 IN MEDICAL BILLS. IN THIS INCIDENT I HIT A GUARD RAIL TO AVOID HITTING OTHER CARS AND MY OPINION IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. I TRULY BELIEVE TOYOTA ARE GREAT VEHICLES AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A GREAT REPUTATION THAT IS WHY I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT IS DEFECTED. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOU 11-2-07. MY CONFIRMATION NUMBER IS 10207797. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR NEXT STEP IS IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. I SEE SEVERAL LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED. I WANT TO BE PART OF THAT. I STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE AND AM PAYING FOR IT. CAN YOU HELP ME? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. SHE COULD ALSO FEEL THE POWER OF THE VEHICLE PULLING AT SPEEDS OF 80 MPH. SHE SEARCHED THE FLOORBOARD OF THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING OBSTRUCTING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. SHE CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BOARD, TO NO AVAIL.

PURCHASED NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, SOON AFTER PURCHASE REALIZED THERE WERE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE CAR, ONE BEING A STICKY GAS PEDAL, THAT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW SPEED, ( FOR EXAMPLE, A YELLOW LIGHT), THE CAR BOGS DOWN THE PEDAL FEELS STICKY THEN KICKS IN REAL HARD AND THE CAR ACCELERATES FORWARD VERY FAST. THIS OCCURS ABOUT 2 TIMES A WEEK AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST HOW THE VEHICLE WAS MADE. ON 01/23/2009 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WITH ONE BEING THE STICKY PEDAL, AND ANOTHER HAPPENED TO BE A PINGING NOISE DURING ACCELERATION SUCH AS GETTING ON A FREEWAY WITH AN INCLINE. THE CORRECTION FOR THE STICKY PEDAL WAS " UNABLE TO VERIFY AND ADVISED THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE A THROTTLE BODY AND FUEL INJECTION SERVICE $99.95 + TAX" THE CORRECTION FOR THE ENGINE CLATTER NOISE WAS " PERFORMED A ECU MEMORY RESET/RE PROGRAMMING. TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE IS WORKING PER FACTORY STANDARDS AT THIS TIME". THE ECU MEMORY RESET WAS THE ONLY WORK PERFORMED IN WHICH WE PAID $85.00. AFTER LEAVING TOYOTA WE FOUND THAT THE PEDAL PUSHED DOWN VERY EASY AND SMOOTH, WITHIN A 2 WEEK PERIOD WHILE THIS LASTED WE NEVER HAD AN ACCELERATOR ISSUE. BUT AFTER 2 WEEKS THE PEDAL WENT BACK TO BEING STICKY AND HAVING ACCELERATOR ISSUES AGAIN. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM THAT THE ECU MEMORY RESET FIXED OUR PEDAL AND ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK INTO IT. THEY DID NOT AND WE LEFT WITH A STICKY PEDAL STILL. NOW WITH THE INFORMATION IN THE MEDIA ABOUT THE STICKING ACCELER

MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY BECAME STUCK WHILE DRIVING EASTBOUND ON THE DULLES AIRPORT ACCESS FREEWAY. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF MY CONTROL. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE GAS PEDAL TO STICK, BUT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE, IT STOPPED STICKING AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT A NORMAL SPEED AGAIN. LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE AIRPORT ACCESS FREEWAY WITH ME AND THE AIRPORT FREEWAY IS STRAIGHT AND ISOLATED FROM THE MAIN FREEWAY BY A MEDIAN. THIS WAS MY FIRST AND ONLY EXPERIENCE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKING. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME SINCE. *TR

2007 CAMRY XLE. PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THE DEALERSHIP JUST BLEW ME OFF WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. ACTED AS IF THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH CAMRYS. ALSO HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING COLUMN'S RADIO CONTROLS - WHEN PRESSING THE APPROPRIATE BUTTONS, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN OR, WHEN SEEKING STATIONS THAT WERE PROGRAMMED IN, THE DOWN OR UP BUTTONS WOULD JUMP TO OTHER STATIONS NOT PROGRAMMED. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS ERRATIC, NOTHING WAS DONE BY DEALER. PROBLEMS WITH THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE GAUGE - AT TIMES, IT WOULD TAKE 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE THE TEMPERATURE WOULD CHANGE TO THE CORRECT ONE. EXAMPLE: IT READ 77 DEGREES WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE MID-90S. DEALERSHIP DID REPAIR THIS LAST SUMMER BUT NOW, IT IS READING SEVEN+ DEGREES OFF THE ACTUAL OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE. THE FINAL PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IS THAT THE PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF OF THE FRAME AREA BELOW THE DOORS OF THE CAR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY PREVIOUS CAR I HAVE OWNED. DEALER ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE FACT THAT THIS CAR IS THE SPORT VERSION SO IT RIDES LOWER. FIRST TOYOTA I HAVE OWNED AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE MY LAST. *TR
