I was proceeding north bound on meadowbrook pkwy, in my 2009 toyota camry. i intended to go west on southern state pkwy. i had to make a legal left turn from meadowbrook pkwy, onto a curved entrance roadway. the caution sign instructed a 50 mph speed limit for this left turn. i was driving less than 50 mph. i applied my brakes to slow down, at that point. my car sped up rather than slowing down. i lost total control of my toyota. i am not certain of the order, but i swayed left, right, and spun around all several times. i crossed the entire 3 lanes on southern state pkwy. and nearly collided with the steel road dividers. my toyota's front and rear were heavily damaged. my car was totaled. at the same time, my car struck a commercial limo who made an attempt to save me on the hwy, thankfully. the worst part of this accident is that i could have been killed and it could have been my last day. *tr updated ivoq 03/25/11 updated ivoq 05/24/11

Twice within a week my gas pedal did not release, resulting in a continued acceleration for my 2009 camry hybrid. first time was on an exit ramp where i release pressure on the pedal to slow down but it did not move for a few seconds. the second time was pulling out and needing to quickly accelerate, i then released pressure, but the car continued to increase in speed. both times i move the floor mat toward my seat, and the second time required shifting the car into neutral. after the second incident, i took my car to the dealer who sold it to me and reported the above. they looked at the mat and secured it with clips that were not there before. this was prior to the pedal recalls. *tr

I'm complaining about the recall back in dec. when i first learned about it i called my dealership hubert vester's toyota of wilson where i brought my car from to set up a appointment to have it checked. the guy in service dept. asked if i received a letter and i haven't and thats why i was calling to schedule a appt. they stated that if i haven't received than more than likely my toyota was not one that was being recall. i was satisfied with that answer i then called customer and asked them or for them to make sure. before i continue driving on the road. they assured me that my vin# was not one of them. i also had a oil change on 01/21/10 and tire inspection noone mention it either. okay so today (03/09/10) in the mail i received a letter stating that i need to have my car taken to the dealership for the recall. 4 months later i been riding on the road endanger my life and my family life. i just think that toyota should have handle this better and i'm highly disappointed. *tr

Below you will find the email that i sent to toyota on february 7, 2010 as well as the response i received. to this date i have not received any other communication from toyota. i truly believe that one of these safety recalls led to my car accident in november, 2009. my vehicle was included in both the floor mat and accelerator recalls. discussion thread customer 02/07/2010 09:51 am i had a car accident 11-30-09 which resulted in the total loss of my 2009 camry le [xxx]. due to the closed head injury i received, i am unable to recall the accident. however, viewing the accident report, it appears my vehicle was traveling much faster than i travel on this roadway. it was noted that my side airbag did not deploy when my vehicle struck a tree on the drivers side door. due to the recalls, i am now concerned that one of the recall issues was the cause of my accident. my car is now at a salvage yard near atlanta, ga. and i feel that toyota should be concerned enough to check my car for defects. i bought this car based on your reputation for dependability and safety, and now due to the recalls, i can't imagine buying another toyota. perhaps my greatest concern are media reports that toyota has been aware of these problems for quite some time and chose not to notify owners. i now have to wonder about this companies ethics. date: sunday, february 7, 2010 12:51 pm from: ask toyota <[email protected]> subject: safety shortcomings [incident: 100207-000212] thank you for contacting toyota motor sales, u.s.a., inc. we appreciate your consideration and hope to have your email addressed as quickly as possible. our current office hours are monday through friday from 5 am to 6 pm and saturday 7 am to 4 pm pacific time. if you need immediate assistance, we recommend you contact the customer relations manager at your local toyota dealership. *tr

On nov 23, my wife had an accident in her 2009 camry. she was pulling into a parking space when the car accelerated. the car continued to accelerate with the brake on. the car has been cosmetically fixed ($9500). we have no faith in this recall for gas pedal. there is much more here, a sensor or computer failure. toyota has still not fixed our car because they do not have recall parts yet. they also said they were going to install break over-ride software when that becomes ready. please continue your investigation. i feel we have not heard the last about this issue. *tr

I was on a job assignment in napa valley, california. i had a rental toyota camry from national car rental. i don't have vin but license was ca. i was driving north of pt reyes on hwy 1 and decided to stop at a scenic area. i took a left off the hwy into the parking area. i was braking and approaching a parking area surrounded by large timbers as parking guards. i was nearly stopped at the timber, braking and preparing to put the transmission into park. my car suddenly lurched forward over the timber, engine roaring. because i had been preparing to put the transmission into park and did this, the car engine accelerated severely and died. my first thought was that i had been struck from behind and thrust forward but there were no other cars or witnesses. i was able to restart the car, rock a bit and move backwards off the timber. i was bewildered by the strange behavior of the car and didn't connect this event to the recent toyota problems until the recalls and tv reports. i now am sure this was an event of rapid acceleration. i was fortunate in that i had my foot on the brake and had been almost stopped when the lurch forward occurred. after experiencing this, i don't believe the problem had anything to do with the accelerator since my foot was on the brake, not the accelerator. i really wonder if electronic "cross-talk" has been ruled out as this problem seemed to be very related to electronics. *tr

We have a 2009 camry that has intermittent issues in regard to the throttle linkage it has twice become stuck in the wide open position, we are very concerned about this issue and have been ignored by toyota personal, we feel there is a real problem with the linkage and or computerized linkage issues. *tr

We started noticing that the car would accelerate slowly. it was so slight we couldn't tell at first. i would take my foot off the gas pedal and notice that the mph would increase very slowly. i thought that was weird but the incidents would be so far apart. i would not catch it doing it again literally for months. until one sunday we were on the freeway, my husband was driving, we were talking when i looked out the window and noticed the trees going by really fast. as i was telling him to slow down and he was telling me that he hadn't been pressing his foot to the pedal a constable pulled us over for speeding. we had been doing 88mph. we were not in a rush to get anywhere. this car continues to do it every so often. we have complained twice to the dealer. they once kept it for a week to check. they found nothing, which doesn't surprise me because it only happens once every couple of months or more and it is very slow at it. the toyota dealer shaved the pedal and told me not to use a second mat. i did that. they told me not to worry about it. well the car still accelerates on its own from time to time. i notice it when i wonder why i am going so fast when i have not been pressing hard on the pedal. my feet are in good condition and i am only a women's size 8 so that can't be the problem. i wonder if they are waiting for the car to accelerate faster and more often and if i have to have an accident before toyota will hear me. to tell the truth i am beyond mad. we have had a 1994 camry which reached more than 200,000 miles on just oil changes, tune ups and minor repairs and a 1994 celica that we still own. they were great cars so when we bought a 2009 camry we expected the same quality. we are beyond disappointed at this point but we are stuck. and the fact that my car is defective and it's not my fault and no one wants to do anything about it makes me stark raving mad. *tr

Entering my driveway at slow speed - approximately 5 mph to drive up a small incline. engine began to race and vehicle accelerated and crashed into garage. the garage door destroyed and contents of garage destroyed contents of garage actually stopped the vehicle which is a 2009 camry. vehicle mat had been removed due to toyota's recent letter of recall, therefore that was not the cause of extremely rapid acceleration. *tr an inspection was performed on the vehicle by a toyota engineer and no problems were found. the consumer stated the recall was performed on february 6, 2010 and the engineer performed the inspection on february 24,, 2010. so therefore, he wasn't going to find a problem, since the recall had already been performed. updated ivoq 10/27/10*jb

I have purchase 2009 toyota camry le on august 7, 2009. but my wife was driving when it was involve in an accident on november 18, 2009 due that either the gas pedal stuck or the brakes didn't work properly, that caused a crash to the other cars rear. we have taken to don mcgill toyota of katy for repair that cost me $3,850.00 for that damage on the front end. the questions is does my car have the same problem that toyota has recalled? i would like to someone give me same answers on it. *tr

My 2007 toyota camry le was rear-ended at around 40-50 miles per hour and it was pushed into the car in front of me. so i was struck from the back and then the front. the other two cars' airbags deployed but mine did not. i notice there are front and side tests done on cars but never when one is rear-ended. i went to the emergency room with a headache and stiffness in my neck and was diagnosed with whiplash - head and back. everyone i've mentioned this to wondered why my airbags did not deploy. can you tell me if it should have? fortunately my seatbelt worked and restrained me and i did not bump my head on anything other than the headrest. just wondering if i should be concerned that my airbag did not deploy. oh, and my just-paid off camry was totaled -- over $12,000 in damages so i have to buy another car and wondering if i should consider another vehicle. i feel fortunate that i was able to walk away from the incident though there is no more "truck" so to speak left on my car. i'd like to get another camry but need to know if the lack of airbag deployment is important to consider when buying another car. also, i have been hearing that the floor mat recall on the toyotas from 2007 -2010 is not really a floor mat issue but an electrical one that toyota is not telling us about. what do you know about this? *tr

My 2009 toyota camry is just over a year old and i have experienced unintended acceleration 3 times. the last time i was accelerating to pass another vehicle and when i let up on the gas pedal the car kept accelerating, the rpms shot all the way up and the brake pedal was difficult to press down. finally the brakes worked and the car slowed down, but the rpms were still very high and the engine was very loud. *tr

Our 2009 toyota camry hybrid has experienced three separate incidences of sudden unintended acceleration during the past nine months. the car was purchased in april of 2008. the first event occurred in february 2009. the second and third events occurred in july 2009 and october 2009, respectively. in all three events the accelerator 'grabbed' and began to speed uncontrollably. during the first event, the car continued to accelerate even after i removed my foot from the accelerator. during the subsequent two events, the car accelerated without my foot even being on the gas pedal. in all instances, it felt as if the resume button of the cruise control (which was off at all times) was depressed. speeds reached in excess of 60mph in each event. during the first two events, a combination of extreme-pressure braking and shifting the car into neutral worked to stop the car, thankfully, without incident. during the third event, after roughly five to ten seconds of acceleration, a "pop" was heard at which time the car's acceleration ceased and returned to normal. the car was taken to the dealer after each incident. all three times diagnostics were performed and all three times the same answer....."found no current or pending fault codes.' the first time it was blamed on an after-market floor mat. while one was installed, it was the type with "grabber" spikes on the underside to prevent movement, similar to a chair mat. i knew that this was not the cause but, as a precaution, i removed the after-market floor mat. for the second event, again, the dealer found no faults and, again, suggested floor mats. the only floor mat in the vehicle was the factory-installed carpeted floor mat which was secured by the factory-installed retaining hooks. floor mats were not the issue. as an extra precaution, however, i removed the carpeted mat. the third event occurred on october 22, 2009. car was taken to dealer. factory technician was brought in. no problem found. *tr

I am having a toyota camry 2009. when i was on cruise control and runs at 60miles/hr, the rpm is about 1500 rpm. during the cruise control, the rpm may accelerate to about 3000 rpm in less than 10 seconds, then immediately the rpm goes back to 1500 rpm again. during this rpm change, the speed reading remains at 60 miles/hr. the incidents happens unexpected. it seems happen more often when on up hill even with very mild slope. it also happens when it runs on very flat road. when the incident happens, it feel that the vehicle is out of control and feel very jerky. it's quite scary. i complained this to my toyota dealer with my regular maintainence quite some months ago, they said they would look into it. after quite some hours, they said that they could not replicate the incident and can not do anything about it. the way they test is to drive in metro area for about 10 mins, which is obviously not the situation i am complaining about. they said they would not do a cruise control driver for 2 hours according to their test driver procedure. they even do not able to escalate this issue to toyota manufactures! such situation happens when the car comes to me brand new. i feel desperate to communicate my concerns through toyota dealer yet every day i have such security concerns. i hope you guys can seriously look into this issue with the recent toyota recall. the floor mat explaination is rediculous and the recent gas pedal is probably still not the root cause. please take this concerns seriously and i hope that such concerns may become public and aware to the consumers and toyota. a fix is a must. thank you. btw, the approximate incident date in this complaint is the last time that i dared to use cruise control. such incident actually happens almost everytime when i used cruise control. *tr
