Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that the floormats were not secured because they were placed on top of an existing carpeted floormat. while the vehicle was in motion, the floormats moved forward and interfered with the accelerator pedal, which caused the vehicle to accelerate to 86 mph. the contact received a citation. she called the manufacturer and was informed that because her mats were carpeted, they were excluded from nhtsa campaign id number 07e082000 (equipment). the manufacturer would not assume any responsibility. the failure and current mileages were 65,000.

My complaint concerns my 2007 toyota camry which seems to be similar to a current open investigation # dp09-001. while trying to exit the freeway my foot "stutter stepped" up and down on the accelerator trying to merge to the proper lane. i was "stutter stepping" because there was a vehicle in the lane i was trying to change to and we both accelerated and decelerated at the same time in an attempt to change into each other's lane. i accelerated and decelerated approximately three time. this motion on the accelerator seemed to cause the accelerator to "stick" and my vehicle was accelerating out of control. several attempts to slow the car down failed. the brakes would not respond as i applied foot pressure. as i approached the intersection at an extremely high rate of speed (and increasing) i was able to finally stop the car by applying both feet on the brake pedal using my back against the seat to gain leverage. i am a 6'5" male weighing 200+ pounds. the car went into a skid when the brakes kicked in allowing me to regain control of the vehicle without damage or injury. the car resumed its normal function after the incident. there was a period of time when the vehicle was not responding that i feared for my life. i was motivated to file this complaint when i learned about a deadly crash in san diego, ca involving an off duty chp officer. he was driving a 2009 lexus es 350. toyota is blaming the "run-away" car on a defective floormat. based on my experience i believe there is a much more serious safety related defect. i'm not sure what to do at this point, but i do not feel safe driving the vehicle. my wife has told me that she experienced a less severe incident of unintended acceleration also. she can provide details if it will help your investigation. i intend to get rid of the vehicle, but i need to get some advice on how best to do that and also help prevent other potential deadly crashes for others. note: i am not certain of the incident date. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving 55 mph, the vehicle accelerated on its own and was very difficult to stop. the vehicle has to be driven five or six miles in order for the failure to occur. the failure has occurred on four occasions. there were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel prior to the failure. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. the failure mileage was 58,400 and current mileage was 62,261. updated 06/27/09 *bf the dealer has been unable to duplicate the consuemers concern. updated 06/23/09.*jb

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving approximately 2 mph in a fast food restaurant drive thru, the vehicle accelerated inadvertently. the driver rear ended the preceding vehicle, crossed over the median, and crashed into a dumpster. there were no injuries and a police report was filed. the vehicle sustained major front end damage and the driver's side tire was flattened. the following day, the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign id number 07e082000 (equipment). the recall pertained to the floor mats moving forward while the vehicle was in motion, which could possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal. the contact stated that this recall specifically corresponds to the crash. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the current and failure mileages were 110,000.

I was driving my 2007 toyota camry on central express way east bound in around mountain view and sunnyvale (california) area, the car suddenly sped up and did not respond to braking. i kept stepping on the brake and fumbling with shift stick, and finally stopped after it blew through 2 red lights. luckily, it was sunday early morning and there were almost no cars on that road and thus i didn't hit any cars. the week next, i took it to the toyota dealer repair shot at palo alto for repair because it was still under warranty. the people at the dealer repair shop told me that it must have been the floor mat and told me there was nothing to repair. *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

I own 2-2007 camry. 1. already when to the dealer for the recall for one of the cars. i still feel stick pedals and some acceleration, not too mayor but i feel it in highway as well in stop sign. the other car (this one have a big problem i feel more the problem in this one more than the other)will be in the dealer 3/17/2010 to try to fix the problem. i hope and this will work cause we're afraid of driving this cars. a).-gas pedals and brakes. *tr

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

The car lost control for no reason, could not brake and got totalled. *tr

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact exited the vehicle with the engine running and the gear selector placed in the park position. suddenly, the vehicle began to accelerate without warning. the contact entered the vehicle and applied the brakes. the vehicle continued to accelerate and crashed into the garage. there was no personal injury. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was repaired for the body damages at an estimated cost of $6,000. the failure progressed. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on four different times for the identical failure. the manufacturer had an engineer perform a further inspection on the vehicle in which the electronic control unit was upgraded. the failure mileage was unknown.

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

When on a long distance trip i used the cruise control--it was set to around 75 mph. i applied the brakes, but when i went to resume my cruise control speed, the car's speed surged past the 75 mph that i had set and started going above 80 mph. i realized it and applied the brake and then just set the speed again. this happened at least separate 3 times. i no longer use the resume function of the cruise control and i have not had other problems since (but i have not used the cruise control much either). *tr

On november 5, 2008 i was leaving my son's soccer practice and my accelerator became stuck on my 2007 toyota camry. i hit a school and went through a 100 foot fence when my car became entangled in the fence and the fence became caught underneath my car. my car was still accelerating full force and my tires were burning rubber. i was able to finally slam my stickshift into neutral and the car stopped. toyota was contacted shortly after the accident and sent someone out to look at the vehicle at the body shop. they sent me a letter stating there was nothing wrong with my car. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. when she entered the express way and accelerated 60 to 65 mph she stopped accelerating and the vehicle suddenly accelerated over 65mph on its own. as she started to apply the break the vehicle slow down when it hit an hard object on the road . she took the vehicle to the dealer. the dealer stated the damage was under the vehicle and she could continue to drive the vehicle however she hears noise coming from the engine. she took the vehicle back to the dealer. the dealer will replace the accelerator pedal but will not repair the damage under the vehicle. she is not sure if the oil container or muffler was damaged. the manufacturer took a report 100211885. the failure mileage was 25,480 and the current mileage was 53,000.

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

2007 toyota camry. acceleration issues *gr the consumer stated right from the day of purchase and it still continues. he noticed when any time he started the vehicle, it would accelerate without him stepping on the accelerator pedal. also, when the vehicle was put in reverse mode without stepping on the accelerator pedal, it would accelerate to about 40 mph in seconds and continue to accelerate until the brake was applied. *jb

Letter from senator nelson on behalf of constituent re permanently and severely disable in a runaway toyota crash cause by unintended acceleration. *smd the consumer stated the vehicle was purchased brand new in april 2007. the vehicle was serviced regularly at the toyota dealership and it was taken there 9 times between april 2007 and august 2008. the vehicle would shake, lunge and vibrate. also, there was a brief burst of unintended acceleration incidents, which were reported to the dealership. the consumer and her daughter complained multiple times to the dealer about the defective vehicle. the dealer refused to do anything, and told the consumer to keep driving it. on the morning of september 15, 2008, as the consumer was driving, the vehicle suddenly accelerated out of control and the brakes failed to stop or slow down the vehicle. the consumer crashed into a flat bed truck head-on carrying concrete. the engine came through the floor of the vehicle and crushed her right leg. her foot had to be surgically re-attached and her leg was almost amputated. she also had a broken left hip, crushed chest, severe concussion and a deep laceration on her eyelid. the jaws of life had to be used to extract her from the crashed mangled smoking vehicle. *jb

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that the accelerator pedal became stuck and caused the vehicle to suddenly accelerate. in august 2008, the vehicle began to accelerate on its own and hit two parked vehicles and then came to a stop. there was a police report taken. in october 2009, after trying to pull into a parking spot, the vehicle began to accelerate suddenly again and the vehicle crashed into a building but no injuries were cited. another police report was taken. the manufacturer sent a representative to inspect the vehicle who stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. the vehicle was being repaired at the time of the complaint but only for body damage because of the crash. the current mileage was approximately 5,500. the failure mileage was approximately 5,400.updated 04/27/10. *lj updated 10/12/10

I wanted to share my experience with my toyota camry re. the acceleration problem, for you to share with your engineers. i leased my 2007 camry in august 2007 (vin [xxx]), a 4 cylinder model. approximately a year later, i was on the freeway passing a car when i needed a sudden burst of speed, so i floored the accelerator hard. (i was used to a 6 cylinder which reacts instantly.) the accelerator seemed to stick and i experienced a racing engine that would not slow down. i was able to safely stop the car by putting it in neutral and braking (needless to say, a little shaken). after i turned it off, i immediately restarted the engine and again it raced. i turned it off again and let it sit for several minutes. after restarting it, it reacted normally. i carefully drove to the dealership, where i was given the floor mat explanation which i accepted. i did in fact have my floor mats loose and not in the pegs. i have never experienced a recurrence. my perception is that the problem was caused when i stomped on the accelerator, and after turning off the engine for several minutes and restarting without incident, i am speculating that the ignition system was able to reset itself. that's why i suspect the problem may be electrical or the vehicle computer, and not mechanical. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. immediately after the vehicle was purchased in july of 2008, the contact noticed that the rpm gauge would jump back and forth when the accelerator pedal was depressed. approximately six weeks later, the vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. when the vehicle finally began to gain speed, she drove to her residence. the vehicle was then driven to the dealer and they stated that the vehicle needed to be recalibrated. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer advised her to take the vehicle back to the dealer for investigation. the current mileage was 28,000 and failure mileage was 25,000.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that when he depressed the brake pedal to slow down or attempt to stop, the vehicle accelerated when he removed his foot off of the brake pedal. he was forced to put the vehicle in neutral to stop the vehicle. the failure occurred on three occasions. the dealer or the manufacturer have not been notified. the vehicle has not been repaired to-date. the current mileage was approximately 47,600. the failure mileage was approximately 31,000.

I have a 2007 camry. two years ago i experienced full speed acceleration while driving on the expressway. it was very scary i put full force on the brakes but it wouldn't stop i drove on the shoulder and force the gears into park. i called the toyota dealer but they kept saying camry does not have that problem. i called on numerous occasion and wanted them to record the incident but they wouldn't. having experience this two years ago i have been so terrified to drive the car i drive so slowly now. they just ignored me. *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. when attempting to accelerate, the accelerator pedal became stuck. the vehicle then accelerated up to 75 mph. he had to remove the floor-mat from under the accelerator pedal, to decelerate. after the failure he removed the floor-mat from the vehicle. the dealer nor the manufacturer was contacted. the current mileage was approximately 52,000. the failure mileage was approximately 28,000.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that since the vehicle was purchased, the throttle did not seem to respond normally; it seemed to be very sensitive responding violently even with the slightest tap on the accelerator pedal. the driver experienced the problem every time she depressed the accelerator pedal. the contact took the vehicle to the dealership and the dealer repaired the vehicle according to recall 10v017000 vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal. however, the driver is still experiencing the same problem. the current mileage was approximately 23,400 and the failure mileage was approximately 11,700. updated 05/04/10. *lj updated 06/28/10*jb

I was in my car waiting for the man in the van to shut his door. my foot was on the brake. all at once it took off and i was about 20 feet from the p.o. building. i hit the building. smashed the front of the 2007 camry. i was more shaken. nobody hurt. the building not damage. the second incident happened in nov. 2009. i had just made a right turn and started to accelerate when the car took off. i pushed the distress button, brake and tried to bring it to parking, neutral, downshift to no avail. i turned the ignition off. very shaken, but started the car again. no damage this time. the first incident i did not report to the dealer as people were telling me that it could not happen the way i said it. the second incident, i went to get my car superglaze the last week of nov. and i told them that at the time. they said that they checked it and saw nothing. since then i have seen articles in the newspaper and on the internet about all the damage. i was told to take the rug out. the rug is in its hooks. i had a thin plastic on top, which never moved more than one inch. it was one of your plastic cover with grippers. each time i got in the car, i would move the plastic to its original position. never was more than one inch. i am very disappointed in this car. i bought a 1996 toyota tacoma and had it for 10 years w/o any problem. *tr

I experienced the "sticky pedal" in a accident in a 2007 toyota camry. the car increased speed on a winding road. it slamed into a wall. the car was total. i immediately told the toyota experince line about the malfunctioning of the car. i did not hear back from them. i am not satisfied with toyota's resolution to fix the problem. how do we know this will correct the problem? i don't feel safe driving a toyota anymore. fortunately, i was not seriously injured. i sustained burns on my neck area from the seat belt. i'm seeking compensation for loss of my vehicle, increased insurance payments, and traum suffered in the accident. *cn

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

We have a six cylinder, 2007 toyota camry. we were passing a semi truck on an interstate highway when the car suddenly demonstrated unintended acceleration. applying the brake and shifting into neutral did not stop the acceleration. our only recourse was to get off the interstate and we were able to get the car to stop by turning off the key. if there had been a vehicle in front of us there would have been a serious accident. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry which was purchased brand new; however, the vehicle would accelerate on its own. she stated that each time the failure occurred, she could feel the vehicle pulling on its own. while traveling on the highway at speeds of 70 mph, she attempted to pass a preceding vehicle and unintentionally accelerated 10 mph over the intended speed. she was able to stop the acceleration by tapping on the brake pedal. her floor mats were not related to the acceleration of the vehicle. she has not taken the vehicle to the dealer for diagnosis. the failure and current mileages were under 55,000.

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

2007 toyota camry accelerator *gr the consumer she stated she noticed right away there was a surging/lunging problem with the vehicle whenever the accelerator was applied from a stop. the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, but her complaint was never resolved. in february 2008, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and the consumer crashed into a tree as she was pulling into a parking space. her foot was on the brake when the vehicle accelerated out of control. february 12, 2010, the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer due to the accelerator recall. the consumer stated she is still experiencing problems with sudden acceleration. updated 04/21/10.*jb

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

The gas pedal automatically engaged itself causing the car to accelerate and hit the side concrete curb causing about $14500 damage. *tr

On saturday 1/12/08 the accelerator on my 2007 toyota camry stuck to the floor!! i pumped the pedal a few times but that didn't free it. i had to slip it into neutral and cut the engine. i was able to safely coast into a parking lot but was highly upset! i looked down and did not see anything interfering with the pedal, so i placed the vehicle into park and started it up and pumped the pedal again. it slowly came out. (it felt as though hydraulic pressure had been released.) i put it into drive and slowly pulled forward. it seemed ok so i drove it slowly straight to the dealer. when i got there i told them what happened. (if this had happened when my 68 yr. old mother in law was driving my children to school in this car as she usually does, i don't think she would have reacted as i did!) the dealership called me less than two hours later and told me that they had already checked my car and that there was nothing was wrong with it. they said they thought my car mat had gotten stuck on the accelerator (not one of theirs, but a very heavy thick rubber one.) i explained i had looked down to see if anything was stuck once i had the vehicle safely stopped and could see nothing interfering with the pedal! they told me they were basing this assumption on the fact that there was an outline for my car mat near the gas pedal. i told them, adamantly, that i didn't care where the outline was, that i had visually inspected it and that nothing was stuck! they informed me that, that was their position on the matter and basically the explanation they were sticking to. i don't feel this car is safe! i have lost my confidence in toyota and seriously doubt i will ever purchase another. *tr

The car accelerated quickly on its own, with engine racing, and could not be stopped easily, resulting in a collision with a tree. the engine continued to race on it's own, with no one pressing the throttle, until the ignition was switched off. this was not caused by a loose floor mat, the floor mat was secured and not anywhere near the pedal. in february i received a letter from toyota saying that they believe there was nothing wrong with the car. i called toyota to talk to the person who sent that letter and repeated the facts as stated above and she told me that i "may be mistaken." the fact that the engine continued to race after the crash is important, since some may think that i was pushing the throttle herself. once i got out of the car she obviously couldn't be pushing the petal herself. the engine didn't stop racing until i turned the engine off. then, when the tow truck came, the driver re-started the camry to position it for towing. when he did, the engine ran normally. when a car takes off by itself, it has a problem. therefore this car, and maybe all 2007 camrys, maybe all toyotas, have a problem. however we drove this car for months and many miles without a symptom; it apparently takes some kind of particular combination of circumstances for the problem to come out. no one was injured in this incident, but this behavior could cause someone to be seriously injured or killed. i believe toyota should find out why this happened and try to fix it, instead of trying to convince me that i am wrong when i tell them what happened. *tr updated

We bought 2007 camry in july of 2007. my wife drove it to work and got an accident on 12/5/07. when she exited highway, she used gas then used brake to reduce the speed. the brake did not work. the car sped out of control and hit the side of hill. the car was roll over to one side and totaled. my wife was badly injured and was sent to hospital emergency room. she got some cuts in her head by the broken window and she had to stay at home for about 2 weeks before going back to work.we believed something wrong with the car brake or gas pedal. and when the car hit the side of hill, none of car safety air bags came out. the car was totaled and paid by our insurance. but this accident gave her a long time fear and bad feeling when she passed that place. we hope we can join the toyota class action lawsuit. please give us some suggestions. thanks! *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 as i believe, based on my experience with the 2007 camry, the problems are far more extensive than what toyota has claimed. *tr
