My vehicle was in motion 70 mph on the highway i take everyday as i was mildly turning with the road the steering wheel spung to the left and the car went out od control spinning and ended on the right shoulder where than my car started to flip over none stop and the airbags didnt not burst or come out.
I am disputing that this vehicle has me listed as an owner. i have never owned a 2005 toyota camry. i want it removed from my record(s) immediately!!!!
Melting shiny dashboard that has created safety issues when driving at night and on sunny days.
While pulling into a parking spot at minimal rate of speed in a residential parking lot. i experienced random acceleration of my vehicle.despite applying the brake the vehicle would not stop accelerating. i turned my vehicle into a metal pole to keep it from temporarily moving forward. due to the acceleration & friction, the asphalt under the car was burned, the left front tire exploded as did the passenger side window. the entire right front side of the vehicle was totaled. i was finally able to get the vehicle to stop by turning off the ignition.
I initially had an unexpected acceleration, but was able to stop the car and didn't know why it had happened. i was unaware that this was a common issue. later i was backing out of a parking space, then switched to drive in attempt to go forward. the car accelerated w/o my touching the gas. i couldn't stop the car and it plowed into several other cars. i didn't understand why this had happened. the police came and assumed it was my fault because after having this happen, i was confused. they took the car to a body shop that did the repairs. no one mentioned this is a common problem w/toyotas. by the time i heard about sudden unintended acceleration (sua), i contacted toyota. as the insurance company had already arranged to have the car fixed before i called, the investigator said they wouldn't even look at the car as it had been repaired. then i had a 3rd incident where i'd come to a stop, but the car began to accelerate. initial date estimate was a guesstimate for mid-october acceleration. 11.21.16 was the accident, which resulted in over $7,000 damage to my car and more was paid towards the cars i hit. the most recent acceleration was january 16, 2017. to date toyota has on reattached the carpets, so i am concerned this car is still a risk to my life & that of others.
On monday july 18th 2016 at approximately 1:30 p.m. i pulled my 2005 toyota camry into the parking lot handicap spot at bagger dave's located 50570 gratiot, chesterfield michigan 48051. as i was preparing to put the vehicle in park the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward very hard and very fast i attempted to apply the brakes three separate times and the car was still moving forward at the same rate on the fourth try i use both feet to press on the brakes very hard jamming the brake pedal into the floor rendering my body into a 180 degree angle position stretched out completely with an arched back. i am only 5 ft 1 in tall. i waited then i put the car in park at that time and just sat in the vehicle. upset crying shocked fearful i looked to my right and there were three witnesses a woman and her two daughters entering the restaurant and standing approximately 5 feet from a vehicle. they witnessed the entire incident from that close vantage point offered assistance helping me out of the vehicle the manager came out of the building call the police. the chesterfield police department arrived on scene and completed accident reports and complaint number 2016 - 13942 dated 7/18/16. the property damage was flower beds shrubberies and small trees. on my vehicle as far as i could see when the car was bad from the dirt back on to the cement something was hanging from underneath my car it appeared to be some long metal object which came off my car upon driving a vehicle home very slowly with my hazards on about 5 miles an hour i noticed the wheels front wheels are squeaking and somewhat difficult to turn left or right the vehicle is sitting in my driveway and has not been moved. witness sarah store manager, 5867651531 chesterfield police dept. chesterfield mi 48051 macomb county accident complaint # 2016-13942 officer ogden
The car hesitate during acceleration. after applying brakes, when you are trying to gain speed, you notice is significantly. no check engine light though.
While the car was in park, before turning off, it accelerated rapidly out of control. driver was not immediately able to stop. a concrete slab and fence were crashed by the out of control automobile. *tr
In 2006 i reported of sudden acceleration in my 2005 toyota camry. since then i have had several occurences where my car has lunge into sudden acceleration. the lastest time was on 3/28/10 on i-275 west heading to lawrenceburg indiana. i was driving about 60 -65 mph when my 2005 camry sudden accelerated to about 80 mph, but my putting on the brakes allowed me to get back the control of the vehicle. other times were vaguely remember but here's the ones that come to mind, 3/12/10, 2/10, 10/09, 8/09, there have been other times but because i went through so much with toyota regional office that to avoid stessing out like toyota did to me in 2006, i just didn't report it. in fear of having to go up against this big corporation again and they deny that there is even a problem with the accelerated pedal i left the reporting alone. it's very stressful going through all of this only to be told that there's no problem with the car.
While attempting to park in the parking space in front of a building, the vehicle (2005 toyota camry sl) accelerated on its own, jumping the curb, crashing into the railing and the building wall. police impounded vehicle as it was unsafe. in the seconds prior to the crash, my foot was off the accelerator and i was in the process of braking because i was entering the parking space in the lot. vehicle is now at a body shop awaiting to be fixed but not before this is reported to toyota. *tr
I own a 2005 toyota camry se, i was driving on the highway at 70 mph, from chicago to joplin mo, as i came to the ramp to exit the highway, i put my foot on the brake pedal and started to brake, the car accelerated and wouldn't brake. i had to hit the brake pedal several times before the car finally stopped accelerating. it was a very short winding ramp and i needed to slow down quickly- my family assumed it was me. it happened last summer and it was raining at the time. i was able to avoid an accident but i know it wasn't me, and my car is not on the recall list for a repair- that scares me. that was the only incident with my vehicle. *tr
While slowly pulling into a parking space and with my foot resting on the brake, the engine suddenly revved and the car bolted forward of its own accord. despite efforts to brake hard, the car would not cease to move forward and hit a pole. not until the car was put in reverse and backed out of the pole did the engine stop. there was no confusion during this incident of which pedal was being pushed. as i was already half into the space and had started to decelerate, my foot was on the brake, not the accelerator. also, a quick check after the incident to ensure that it was indeed the brake that i was pushing proved to be accurate. i have been driving nearly twenty years with no at-fault accidents and a clean driving record. i have never once during that time mistook the accelerator for the brake, and, even if that was the case here, i certainly would not have pushed it so hard when i was already halfway into a parking space that it would cause the engine to react the way it did. i am in my mid-thirties and still have all of my faculties, as well as a quick response time. fearing to drive the vehicle, i had it towed to the dealership and they inform me, after what they claim to be exhaustive diagnostic testing, that they can find no problems. i will try to get rid of this vehicle as soon as possible as i do not want to be responsible for someone else's death/injury when this occurs again. my sister and her boyfriend, both of whom have toyotas, have told me that this has occurred on their vehicles as well. she has a 2007 camry and he has a 2009 matrix. *tr

I had trouble with my 2005 toyota camry while stopped at a light when all of a sudden it the engine started racing and it wanted to lunge forward. i keep my foot on the brake very hard, put it in park and kept it in place. i hit the accelator several times and was afraid to put it back in to drive when the light changed. luckily iit was ok then. i am not sure if it was 2007 or 2008 and not sure of month and date but this form insists you put one in so i put in any date. i really don't remember the time frame. i happened shortly after having the car in for service and the rpms seem high when not accelerating. *cn

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 toyota camry. while making a 180 degree turn to the right at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle accelerated on its own. the contact was unable to stop the vehicle when she applied the brakes and crashed into seven vehicles. the vehicle came to a stop when it crashed into a retaining wall. the air bags deployed and the contact injured her arm. the driver of the first vehicle she struck sustained back injuries. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and they stated that an investigator would inspect the vehicle. the vehicle was destroyed. the current and failure mileages were 20,346. the consumer stated the vinyl floor mats may have become caught under the gas pedal which caused the unintended acceleration. updated 11/02/07. *jb

People, like the one who filed odi# 10131293, should wear their seat belts, not try to disable them and the systems that make you wear them. they are counter-productive to the industry and agencies that are trying to save lives. *nm
Purchased new car - noted speedometer reading 9% off - verified via stopwatch/mile marker method, gps, and radar. dealership and manufacturer stated that the allowable at any speed is plus or minus 10% (i.e. speedometer says 70 going 63 to 77 mph). safety hazard in traffic flow plus i am spending lots of time while driving watching speedometer and trying to figure out how fast i am going and what the speedometer needle should be pointing at to be correct. manufacturer and dealership have refused to attempt to correct problem. not sure what the federal regulations allow, but 10% delta seems excessive. dealership noted that a new car of the same make, model, and year for the lot was also tested and had the same speedometer delta from actual. not sure if this is a systemic problem with toyota camry. 2005 toyota tundra was tested and found to be about 5%. also noted that the odometer reading is incorrect by a similar percentage (i.e. odometer reading not accurate for actual mileage on vehicle).*jb
