Unintended acceleration on my 2009 corolla. it happened once. i called toyota to report incident. *tr

I own 2 2009 toyota corollas, 2 months ago i took both of them in for the recall. i was just made aware of the floor mat with accelerator pedal safety recall campaign.. toyota, failed to inform consumers that this was an issue they have know about it for months. not only did they keep this information from trusted consumers, they are also participating in deceptive practices. i received 2 notification of the recalls for both of my cars. i noticed that on none of the documents i received or on the envelope is any indication of a date. there is no date on the letter. so it leaves us as consumers at the vulnerability of the company, because we cannot show proof of when we received the notification. toyota must stop this type of practice. this is not human. *tr

I was backing up in a parking lot with my foot on the brake and my car just sped backwards and i rammed into a pole. my entire trunk was smashed in. i had to have it replaced and it still leaks water as of today. i paid approximately $2k to $3k to have it fixed. this all happened before i know about the acceleration problem. *tr

While driving at speeds between 55 and 60 mph, the car- without my foot near the accelerator- experienced a surge in acceleration. this happened at a time after i was using cruise control but had turned it off because i was coming too close to the car in front of me and needed to slow down. as i released my foot off the accelerator and moved it to the break, the engine revved dramatically. once speeds reached over 65 (within one or two seconds) i broke and was able to slow the vehicle down and keep it in control. the accelerator pedal reinforcement bar recall was performed on 2/17/10. took it to dealer, the found no problem and was unable to replicate the situation.

Vehicle continues to have acceleration problem after recall performed. when slowing down - without gas or braking - at 20-25mph it speeds up to maintain that speed (maybe more) and becomes difficult to brake - as though it wants to continue at speed. this happens frequently and is easy to recreate - just slow down and watch it go.... it's dangerous - i have almost rear-ended other cars on a few occasions. have appt with toyota of winter haven fl today.

After toyota recalled and worked on my gas pedal, it got stuck once, which literally caused me to bump slightly into a car in front of me) then escalated on its own sporadically. one dealer agent told me would submit paperwork and it would take an hour to check, and the gas pedal would be replaced. when i tried to bring the car to be checked and worked on, he said not come till he called when he was ready. for 1-2 weeks he never called. when i went to ask, they said the car was not to be worked on for a while. i called customer service to change to another dealership. this dealership asked me to wait for 2 weeks, and said would need to keep my car for two weeks to check. i called twice but no one called back. i finally went to a dealership where i happened to be near where i worked one day. they checked to make sure my car was okay at least then. i asked them help me put my carpet in place as after detailing the first dealership did not put them back in order as they were wet. this dealership put hook on my carpet to make sure they were in place as i did not have the hook as they were supposed to be, and advised me to call customer service, not knowing i have already called and they were referring me to dealership that took forever. i was by another dealership where i worked the next day. they checked, and ordered the gas pedal immediately. in just 2-3 days they told me they had the part and had me over and got my car fixed. the carpet in the driver seat is fixed, but not the others yet. the gas pedal of my car was a risk to the safety of me and my car and other people and cars around me. the delay of the first two dealerships and customer service seem to not care for the urgent need for the pedal to be replaced immediately to ensure absolute safety. the latter two dealership were helpful to spot the problem of my carpet and took preventive measure immediately, and then got the gas pedal replaced immediately. should take care of problem better. *tr

I had been driving on the highway for about half an hour, and i was on flat road (the area was not even remotely hilly) with cruise control set at 70. the engine began making a whirling sound and rpm went from 3 to almost 6. my foot was not on or touching the gas pedal, and i was driving on flat road. i braked firmly and took the car off of cruise control. toyota dealership did not find any problems. *cn

On 3/18/10 my son was driving our 2009 toyota corolla. he accelerated onto the interstate and drove for nearly a mile. he was using the blue tooth phone that is built in to the car. he hung up from the call and within seconds the cars rpm quickly increased for at least 10 -20 seconds. the vsc, ck engine, and trac lights all came on at the same time. he took his foot off the gas pedal and it felt like it was all the way back, not sticking but the rpm's were racing.- and going about 70 mph. he put the car in neutral- it is a manual and pulled over. the rpm was still racing. he shut the vehicle off. when he turned it back on the rpm was normal but the warning lights stayed on. the car had the recall repairs completed on feb. 19, 2010. he contacted the local toyota dealer and they asked him to drive it in, which he did. they checked his floor mats and there was not an issue with them. they have opened a service repair with toyota corp. the car is at the dealer at this time. this is the first time the car has done this. *tr

I had a recall repair performed to my 2009 toyota corolla on 3/17/10 to install a reinforcement bar in the accelerator pedal. since then, i have experienced problems with the car accelerating and/or not slowing down when i take my foot off of the accelerator pedal. rather than correct a problem, the recall repair created a serious safety problem. *cn

On my 2009 corolla, i have continued to have an issue with slight acceleration and sudden rpm increase while the accelerator is not being applied, and usually when the brake is being engaged. this mainly happens while going downhill and it causes a forward motion jerk in the car that is felt by all passengers. i have had the recall regarding the metal accelerator patch, fixed. i have also taken my car into the dealership since the recall fix to address this problem and i was informed that all toyota cars do 'this' and that it is normal. they did hook my car up for a health diagnostic which showed nothing abnormal. i have driven a large number of cars which include other toyotas, and i have never experienced this phenomena. i have also had multiple third parties in my car and they have shown surprise and concern when the car exhibited this behavior. i do need to say that i have never felt like i have lost control of my car while this occurs. however, based on recent accounts from other people that own toyotas, and corollas specifically, i am not inclined to take a 'wait and see' approach to this matter. this problem happens on an almost daily basis, sometimes multiple instances in one day with 8-10 separate instances being the most counted in a 24 hour period of time. the mechanic that ran the health diagnostics (3/18/10) told me that given the number of computers that 'run my car' there could be a number of things going on that would cause this to happen but that any abnormalities would come up on their computer system, once the tests were run. nothing apparently showed up. approximate incident date below shows the date that this last occurred in my vehicle, but since there is not an option for date range, it is not going to accurately reflect the amount of time this has been going on (which has been almost the whole time i have owned the car, 2 years in july 2010). *tr

Had recall work completed on my 2009 toyota corolla on march 13th, 2010 regarding accelerator pedal. no problems at all prior to recall work. on march 15th, 2010 the accelerator pedal failed to return to its proper position after it was depressed. i was pulling into the garage and going very slow and braking easily stopped the car. i tapped the pedal quickly and it apparently returned to proper (not depressed / full out) position.the floor mat in the car is aftermarket and does not in any way interfere with the pedal. will contact dealer who performed recall work and have them recheck pedal. please feel free to contact me if you think it necessary. *tr

I have a 2009 toyota corolla with a serial number starting with a "j". toyota told me my car isn't part of the recall. i have experienced two occasions where the accelerator pedal has been stuck. once when the car was in park about two months ago and i though it was the floor mat so i switched out floor mats since my car was not part of the recall. then on sat, 3/13/10 i was merging on to the highway and i pressed down hard on the gas pedal to speed up because a car was beside me. all of the sudden the pedal was stuck and i continued to speed up when i let pressure off the gas pedal. i put my foot on the brake and the car wasn't stopping. thinking i wasn't pressing hard enough i put both feet on the petal still not even slowing down. finally, i shifted the car into neutral and could still hear the engine revving but the car slowed down quickly. thinking that i was imaging it when the car slowed enough i shifted it back to drive and it took off again without pressing the gas pedal. i quickly shifted it back into neutral and was wondering what i was going to do and i heard a loud pop or snap with the gas pedal and then the car was fine. it stopped accelerating on it's own without me turning off the car. i checked the floor mat and it wasn't stuck. i called the toyota dealership and they are looking at the problem but said they have been instructed not to fix anything if they can't replicate the problem because it's not part of the recall as the car i have was made in japan. i also called the toyota general line and reported the problem. my concern is that my car won't be fixed as the warranty runs out at 30,000 miles and i have 29,000 miles on my car and the recall doesn't cover my model. i am nearly certain that toyota hasn't recalled all of the car affected because it's not the specific gas pedal that's the problem as my car doesn't have the identified gas pedal. the problem isn't related to the gas pedal. i don't ...

I own a toyota corolla year 2009 which is subject to recall for the gas pedal and the floor mat (as per toyota website) i have scheduled an appointment with my dealer hudson toyota on 03/12/2010 to have it fixed. when i got there, my dealer refused to service my car claiming that the parts have not been provided yet by the company. please advise me as to what should i do . thanks *tr

Even when the car was new i always noticed that there are times when i am slowing down to stop and put on the brakes, i feel the car surges before it stops. we complained about it that time when the camry/lexus floor mat incidents were in the news. i think there was a recall for that and our brakes were fixed by the dealership. but the problem persists to this day. i also feel an engine surge on my sister's new 2013 corolla. *tr

2009 toyota corolla with unintended acceleration. *kb the consumer stated he had not experienced any sudden acceleration problems with the vehicle. however, he did receive a recall notice in the mail and complied by taking the vehicle to the dealer to have the repairs done on february 17, 2010. however, on march 6, 2010, the consumer made a right turn on a street that was curvy and was relatively steep descending toward an intersection. he gently applied the brakes 2-3 times during the descent to maintain a speed of 15-20 mph. at no time did he depress the accelerator during the descent and the engine was idling as the vehicle coasted to the bottom of the hill. when he approached a four-way stop sign at the bottom of the hill, he depressed the brake pedal normally to come to a full stop. instantly, the engine raced and roared. the consumer immediately shifted the automatic transmission into neutral and turned the engine off. he restarted the engine with his foot on the brake pedal and the gear selector in neutral and it started with the same roar. he turned it off again and waited a couple of minutes. he decided to try one more time and the vehicle operated in normal mode. the consumer also stated since the vehicle was garaged, the doors were barely kept locked. over the last 6-9 months about once a month when the consumer entered the garage, he discovered the doors were locked. the consumer believed the electronic door locking system was being randomly activated. *jb

I've had two recalls done on my 209 corolla. the accelerator and the brakes. i've noticed that my gas pedal makes this whistle every time i accelerate. shortly, after the brake recall i've noticed a difference in my brakes. the brake was mushy, i had to press harder on the brake just to come to a complete stop, and when step on the brakes, its not smooth and my car would pull forward. i went back to toyota services to recheck my brakes only 4-6 days after i had the brake recall done. they said, they could not find anything wrong with my brakes. its been 5 days since the last visit and i just recently reared ended someone. luckily it was just a fender bender but i was lucky enough that it was nothing serious. the lady who i had reared ended had a 8-11 month child with her. i knew my brakes felt different, i knew there was something wrong but toyota failed to see that. i am really upset with toyota. i could of lost my life along with the lady and her infant. *tr

Since purchasing my 2009 corolla i had to have a belt change, i had an issue with the accelerator pedal they stated was my floor mat, and then my accelerator pedal would stick. the problem with the accelerator pedal would include times of low acceleration to the pedal sticking in the depressed position even if my foot was off the accelerator. in addition, since the snow is greater this year giving me a better idea how it handles in the snow i have encountered a dangerous problem that scares me. i wrote to toyota about it on 2/24/10 and today 2/26/10. below is my last e-mail to them.
