Problems with 2003 Toyota Camry VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

I was backing out of a parking spot. when my car staled and was shaking in reverse. i slammed on my breaks because i thought i backed up into something. when i put my car in drive and took my foot off of the brake pedal. my car immediately accelerated to full speed out of no where and caused me to crash into two cars.

Coming to red light car would not stop i pressed harder on brakes asb came in then the car went into high rpms,and stopped sounded like it would blow up?.. i quickly put the car in neutral, from my experience to slow rpms you press gas petal hard until the rpms slow, i do not have floor maps, never had them...

On december 7,2017, i was in a parking lot in florida. as i started going into a parking space, the car began to surge. i had a loss of steering and braking.i almost hit the car next to me. luckily that did not happen. i kept pressing down on the brake, but it took time for the steeering wheel to respond to me. i shut off the car because it seemed like the car had a mind of its own. i had 2 witnesses in the car.who saw that my car was in drive, and that my foot was on the brake pedal. the passenger checked the floor mat, and it was lying completely flat. i do not know why i had this loss of control. this also happened to me in 2010, when i had unintended acceleration,and my car hit a tree. i am now afraid to drive my car, and willl not do so because i feel it is unsafe.

Coming to a stop and about ready to stop and all of sudden steering wheel was pulled to left and accelerated. then i hit a parked car and was finally able to stop.

During normal highway driving vehicle unexpectedly accelerated to full throttle. gas pedal was tapped several times which did not remedy the problem. vehicle was placed in neutral and engine shut off.

Tl* the contact owned a 2003 toyota camry. while idling, the vehicle accelerated rapidly in reverse on its own without warning. as a result, the contact's vehicle crashed into another vehicle and a picnic table. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. there were no injuries sustained. the vehicle was towed and destroyed. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

Tl* the contact owned a 2003 toyota camry. while driving 5 mph, the vehicle independently accelerated. as a result of the acceleration, the contact's vehicle rear ended another vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was able to be driven after the crash, but was later towed to an independent mechanic where it was deemed destroyed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

To whom it may concern: my 2003 toyota camry makes a rattle noise from the engine area and it's most noticeable during idle or light acceleration. my car has only 35,000 miles inspite of it being 13 years old. clearly, toyota acknowledge that it had a problem with the manifold but since my car is more than 6 years old , toyota would not cover it but my car has only 35,000 miles and this problem did not show up until now. hopefully, your office can help me with this matter. thank you so much *tr

I felt a click under hood around area of driver side as i backed out out of a parking space at the bank. i drove forward across the street into another parking lot, turned my wheel right to pull into parking place and the accelerator increased sending me up a curb into a brick wall. with foot on brake, i had to put car into neutral and park to turn off before acceleration stopped. my entire front end was smashed(have photos of car and tire marks on cement). i started car back up and it reversed fine. no mats under pedal and no slipping foot to gas pedal. car has 60,000 miles and was impeccable.

I was nearly finished parking my car when the car sped up, went over a concrete curb stop, hit and knocked over a sign post. i recall the engine revving when this happened. i stomped on the brake pedal and that stopped the car. this is the first time this has happened in the 12 years i've owned the vehicle but it was scary.

I too have been noticing a surge when i back up and turn the vehicle and step on the gas to drive out. i have avoided crashes with cars near by, i have found that i have to keep the speed on low and out of drive to avoid hitting a car near my parked car. i am not sure of the mileage above as i am just backing out of a parking space and turning my car to drive, i make sure it is on low.

I was in the process of parking the car in a parking lot when the vehicle accelerated on its own. when i attempted to apply the brakes there was no effect. in order to avoid traffic i had to steer the vehicle into a stone wall. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 toyota camry. while making a left turn at an unknown speed, the engine revved and the vehicle independently lunged forward. the contact depressed the brake pedal to avoid a collision. the dealer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 25,000.

I was pulling into a parking spot at a local dry cleaners. as i was pulling into a parking spot, the vehicle suddenly surged rapidly forward going over a concrete barrier and hit a concrete wall. unintended sudden acceleration. *tr

i experienced unintended acceleration of my vehicle while driving slowly in a parking lot. the vehicle accelerated to a high speed and revved to very high rpm's. i managed to slam on the brakes and finally shift the controls to neutral. the car immediately returned to normal rpm's and i turned off the key. toyota first claimed "driver error", then entrapment of the gas petal by a floor mat, then "driver error" again, alleging i had "braked incorrectly and must have hit the gas by mistake"!! i was simply low-speed driving with my foot on the gas, when their car raced suddenly on its own accord. i had not hit the brakes until i had to emergency-stop a runaway car! dealer says they "checked the computer" and there are "no issues" to resolve! this is a blatant, lethal defect in their product! *tr
