Tl*the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. the driver took her vehicle into the dealer to have the accelerate recall repaired on the day that the complaint was filed. the recall noticed stated that the floor mats should be placed in the trunk and if they are not the correct ones they would be replaced free of charge. when she returned to the dealership her mats were not in her vehicle. no one at the dealership was able to tell her what happened to the floor mats or who removed them from the trunk of her vehicle. she is concerned that the vehicle was not inspected by the dealer. there are no failures at this time. the vin was not available. the current mileage was 5,016.

This is to inform you that the "fix" for the recall on the sticking accelerators is not 100% effective, if at all. i bought my toyota camry in april 2009 and instantly started having issues with my accelerator sticking. i took my car to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong and/or that what i was experiencing was the transmission being equipped to "hold you back" and save your brakes. i continued having the problem and returned to the dealer only to be told the same thing. on february 13, 2010, i had the recall work performed on my car. 3 weeks later (march 3, 2010), i experienced the sticking accelerator once again. i was under the impression that the accelerator would no longer stick after this "fix" was done. my car is less than a year old and my understanding is that this problem gets worse as the car ages. so far, i have not experienced uncontrolled acceleration, "only" a sticking accelerator, but i am concerned of what the future holds as my car ages and becomes more dangerous to drive. this sticking of the accelerator has occurred a few times a month over the last 11 months. *tr

On march 1 at 5:15pm i was on i-295 headed home and my 2009 toyota camry le accelerated after i had all three recalls done at the toyota of waldorf. as i was coming up to a s500 mercedes i attempted to slow my car down once i pressed the brake, i felt the car switched to a higher gear, i continues to press the brake as hard as i could, finally i pulled off the road to the left into the grass where i then threw it in neutral until it slowed down. i then cut it off and called toyota to complain. the service manager asked would i like it towed and i replied " what do you think?" i explained to her that i had all the recalled done on my car and i don't understand how this happened. after they towed my car the next morning i called to complain to the gm they then transfer me over to another service manager after i waited for the gm for several minutes. this service manager tells me they are trying to figure out what's wrong and offered me a rental car. i went to pick up the rental and i realized after i got home that there were several different models not just mine that were involved in this recall so i decided to look up this 2010 tacoma that they gave me and sure enough it was on the list. i decided to park this car and ride to the metro which drops me off half of a mile from my job. i would rather take this hassle than to drive any of these recall vehicles from toyota. i have a family that i have to protect and if this is how the "toyota family" care for its customers then i choose to not deal with this "family" in the future. i am requesting from toyota that they put me in a car of equal value even if its used and one that is not on the recall list. to all that have a recall model from toyota i recommend that you be very cautious of the repairs done and drive even safer than before. i have been on the phone twice today with the corporate office attempting to speak with someone and both times i was placed on hold for 30 minutes and still ...

I purchased a 2009 camry hybrid this past summer and within a month, noticed problems with occasional braking and acceleration issues. i originally thought that perhaps this was the hybrid technology, but at times i have experienced some near misses and have been very concerned with the recent reports of lost life. i filed a complaint on the toyota.com website on february 9th, 2010 and have received no response since then. i am disappointed that the camry hybrid was not included with the latest prius recall and feel that toyota needs to investigate what i believe to be a software/electronics issue. i have been in software development and sales for the past 15 years and have never been in a car accident since receiving my license. but since purchasing this car, my first toyota, i do not feel as safe as i have in my gm's and ford's over the years. what i am experiencing is a forward lurch when braking from 50 mph to a quick stop/traffic light and the gas engine is engaged. when brake is applied, the car slows, then there is a quick revving of the engine, then an upshift prior to a downshift when the electronics/battery takes over. this has caused some near misses from a rear end collision, as the car appears to stop, but then lurches forward. i have also experienced this forward lurch, when accelerating at higher speeds (30-50 mph)from a stop light, as if there is a delay between the electronics to the gas engine. this has caused the car to accelerate rapidly on occasion, causing me to brake to slow it down. please have this software defect looked into, as i believe this recent recall should include the camry hybrids as well and as soon as possible. *tr

Driving on cruise control at 70mph. engine shut down and lost all electrical power. then after about 4 seconds car powered up again on its on & reset cruise. this has happened twice now in a span of 2 months. brought car to dealer and they said they could not duplicate problem. checked all connections and codes.nothing showed on scans. i asked about the etc and they said that would not cause the problem i encountered? they said if it happens again and no codes show up or check engine light,there is nothing they can do?? these are the so called tech's words of wisdom. *tr

Toyota recently announced that the cars on their lots were fixed and ready to be sold. still no notice about bringing your car in. is this a tacit acknowledgement that they fixed their cars before they are fixing the cars of those of us at risk. *tr

When attempting to brake i have occasionally had my vehicle accelerate instead of stopping. this is extremely frightening and i no longer feel safe in my vehicle, especially in light of recent news reports documenting wide spread defects for my particular model. even when the car does not accelerate while i attempt to brake, there is a delay in the response of the braking system which is a danger in itself. my natural reflex when this happens is to step on the brake peddle with more force and more frequency which, i believe, causes excessive wear and tear on the braking system. braking/engine problem with 2009 toyota camry. *tr

While at a stop sign, i accelerated my car and then quickly stopped (pushed on the brakes) because another car was coming, only to feel my camry accelerate and crashed into the other car. *tr

When starting from a complete stop and beginning acceleration, and sometimes when trying to quickly accelerate while moving forward, the car will hesitate and not accelrate for about 1/2 to one second while the car is slowing moving into traffic. this is a significant safety issue particularly when turning and crossing traffic and when merging with traffic on a freeway. this is a frequent occurance, but does not seem to follow any particular pattern other than it occurs here and there when accelerating. i took the car back to the dealer within a couple of weeks of buying it and they said that it was functioning fine. i looked on the internet and found that they are many others that have complained about acceleration hesitation issues with the toyota camry who also took their cars back to the dealer and received the same response that i did that "it was functioning normally". though i feel that this is a significant safety risk with the car, i feel that my only recourse, since toyota says it is running fine, is to essentially avoid all situations where sudden quick acceleration is required. wiith the number of reports on the internet matching my exact problem i feel that this is an issue that needs to be looked into with at least 2009 toyota camrys. *tr

My 2009 camry accelerates suddenly on city streets. there have been several sudden accelerations on turns. my car suddenly accelerated during a right turn and i nearly jumped the curb (twice) take off is not smooth since it temporarily stalls and then suddenly jerks out at a higher speed. the brake petal, steering wheel and car floor all vibrate and the engine makes clunking noises. my car has less than 5,000 miles on it. the petals shift and make clunking noises like wooden clogs. this past month, the passenger cabin smells with gas fumes as the car operates. after the recall, i discovered that i was lied to by the dealer and my car was not made in japan as i was told at the time of sale. *tr

This concerns the current toyota sudden acceleration problem and my interpretation of the mechanism that may be at work causing these intermittent events. these cars involved have toyota's new "fly-by-wire" ignition and throttle control system, not the old manual throttle controls. the acceleration events may be coming from stray rf or electro-static discharge (esd) causing an electrical state change in one of the throttle control chip registers which then causes the sudden acceleration. the problem could also be caused by the same rf or esd, but only affect electrical control units in cars that have developed bad ground paths (which allow static charge to build up until it arcs over and zaps a chip) testing for this type for electrical fault must be done under conditions that accelerate the failure mode, ie under conditions that enhance esd occurrence and/or stray rf while changing the resistance of the ground paths to the throttle control module. as a reference point, request toyota's history on all warranty replaced failed electrical modules involved in/with throttle control for these recalled cars. a hard esd event may cause complete module failure and hence a warranty record. a "soft" esd event may cause state changes on the module chips. a comparatively high module replacement rate would be cause to investigate them and do fema stripback analysis on failed warranty units. *tr

We leased a 2009 toyota camry from performance toyota on june 22 2008 on one occasion while my husband was pulling into krogers in w chester the car accelerated when he had his foot on the brake. the next day we took the car to performance toyota and they gave us a rental. the next day they called and said the car was fixed. i did not feel safe in this vehicle and told them so but they reassured my husband and i that the car was safe. this was on 2-3-10. on 2-9-10 the car accelerated again at the fairfield mercy hosp. and about 15 min later at a stop sign in our subdivision. the next day i took the car back and told them to keep it but they said it was a lease and i could not let it there so i purchased a 2010 toyota camry which also was a disaster. *tr

On 2/01/10 at approximately 8:00 am i was driving my toyota on the washington dc beltway 495 north from virginia. i was nearing 270 north and decided i had better change lanes to stay on my intended route on 495. looking in the rearview mirror i saw a tractor-trailer was in the right hand lane next to me and i needed some rapid acceleration to get ahead of the truck so i stamped on the accelerator. i stamped much harder than i normally would do. immediately my accelerator stuck to the floor and the car accelerated from approximately 65 to over 85 miles an hour. i had seen a tv report on the nbc station in dc that advised if your toyota accelerator sticks apply both feet to the brake pedal and hold it. i forgot the hold it part and i started to pump the brake, which had no effect. i also remembered that the next thing to try was put the car in neutral. this i did and the acceleration stopped immediately. i was able to coast the car off into an area, a triangle between the right lane of the beltway and an oncoming lane. i then turned off the car and physically reached down and pulled the accelerator back up. it "popped" up like a spring. i then restarted the car and continued to work. i remembered that on long trip recently to atlanta that one other time it felt like the accelerator stuck, but that time it was momentary a few seconds. on 2/21/10 the accelerator stayed down i am guessing a good 20-30 seconds before i remembered to put the car in neutral. when i got to work i called toyota usa to report the problem and they told me my car was not covered by the recall and that i should call a dealer. i called my dealer and he told me there were no parts available or even made for the camry hybrid and that he would just have to replace the accelerator assembly with the same part. he said they haven't made any new parts for the hybrid. did not sound like they cared. *tr

I had picked up a passenger about 1 1/2 hours from my home. i was returning home & noticed that the gas pedal was accelerating even tho i was pressing the brake. i couldn't stop the car& a curvy road was ahead along with a cliff. my option was to go over the cliff or go into possible oncoming traffic to try to stop the vehicle. i opted to try to turn the car into a nearby driveway. luckily no oncoming traffic was close enough to hit my car as i did this. the driveway was slanted & as i turned into the driveway i smacked into a snow bank which tore my front bumper off. luckily there were no personal injuries. i reported this to toyota & my insurance ( at the time of the accident i had heard about a toyota recall having to do with gas pedal but it had been a while & i hadn't received notification of the recall affecting my vehicle). my personal car insurance covered the $3000 worth of damage to the bumper radiator, grill, etc. over 4 years later & i still haven't recovered my deductible from toyota for a known defect in the pedal! had i been notified timely of the recall affecting my vehicle this could have been avoided! instead, i had to cover the cost to repair damage out of my pocket & i had whiplash for a few weeks caused by a known issue toyota knew of! i'm furious & disappointed that i chose a toyota! *tr
