I am concerned that my 2006 toyota camry is not on the recall list. while reversing out of a parking place the vehicle accelerated and crashed into a tree then surged forward at a high rate of speed back into the parking area with trees that i had reversed out of. my foot was firmly on the brake but the vehicles engine revved and surged back through the trees. impact with tree on left drivers side first then vehicle slammed into tree on the right side. there is no time to react to this type of deadly speed acceleration. when my vehicle did come to a stop it was in neutral. the damage to the vehicle was $4,300, my insurance doubled and i am lucky to be alive and that i didn't kill someone in the parking lot. toyota has no recall for 2006 camry but i have counted 50 to 60 plus complaints on this site alone under brakes, ignition, acceleration etc. toyota says i will have to pay for the repair which is totally unfair. my vehicle has depreciated quickly in value because of this defect, the accident, and used parts being used in the accident repair. i feel as if i am taking a chance with my life and the life of my child each time i drive this car. you cannot get the car into neutral fast enough to avoid a crash. this is deadly safety issue. *tr

2006 camry....while inching my car forward in my driveway to position the car to back it up, i was applying the brake and moving at a speed of no more than 2-3 mph. the car started to accelerate which kept increasing. i was taken by surprise, didn't know what was happening. i looked down at the accelerator to make sure it wasn't me. my foot was on the brake. before i knew it, i hit head on the very large tree at the end of my driveway. i was approximately 4 ft from the tree when the engine started revving. i had my seat belt on, which saved me from smacking my face on the steering wheel. my head jerked forward and i had a tremendous headache afterwards with pain in my neck. the air bag did not deploy. i put the car in park and my husband reached in the window and turned the engine off. when i started it up again, there was no problem and i carefully moved it away from the tree. the force with which i hit the tree pushed in my front end and also did some damage under the hood since the power steering fluid was leaking. i am currently waiting for the insurance adjustor to check this out. he did say that if he doesn't experience the same problem, he doesn't know what can be done by toyota. needless to say, i am anxious for the results and will not feel safe driving my car. *jb

Car surges (suddenly increases speed) in reverse 10-30 seconds following cold start. this occurs during slow, brake controlled, backing from my home garage. when surge occurs, tachometer goes up a few hundred rpm and i have to quickly apply more pressure to the brakes to keep the car from surging back and going out of control or hitting something. the a/c-heater is not turned on when problem occurs so it does not appear to be the a/c solenoid increasing the engine rpm. the cruise control is off. this condition is very dangerous, especially if you haven't been prepared to expect it. this problem happens every time i start the car cold. i have estimated the number of incidents below and have provided today's date as the latest date of incident. i only have information on this happening in "reverse" because every time i start my car cold, it is in the garage and i have to back out. *jb see also 10295531, same complainant. * dsy

I am writing about my current car, a toyota 2006 camry, because it relates to an accident i had with my 2005 camry. i am aware that toyota has not recalled the 2006 model. when i start up my 2006 camry after it has been in park, with the engine off, for as little as a 5 minute stop or overnight in the garage, when i shift into drive and release my foot from the brake, the car moves by itself, fairly rapidly, without my foot touching the accelerator. after about 3/4 of a mile along the road during which i alternately apply the brake and lift my foot from it, still not touching the accelerator, the car finally begins to operate normally requiring for the first moment some pressure on the accelerator. when i return home, regardless of how far or long i have driven, after pausing to open the garage door (by remote) i ease my foot from the brake pedal and the car glides into the garage on is own. while i am able to control the car safely so far i am uncomfortable with the situation because i had a major accident with my 2005 camry in august, 2006. it happened as i emerged from a car wash. when i shifted into drive from neutral, the car accelerated itself and stuck in high speed, at least 80 miles per hour. i am sure that i tried to stop it by applying the brakes immediately and certainly in the end before i purposely crashed into a tree after a terrifying drive dodging people, cars, and buildings. i survived although sustaining a back injury which necessitated an operation, but the car did not. i did not communicate with toyota about it and do not know if my insurance company did. last week i took my 2006 camry to my toyota dealer and described what is happening with the car and they assured me that this "independent" acceleration is normal and intended by the manufacturer. *tr

I bought my 2006 camry in october 2005 and have been complaining to claremont toyota, the dealership where i bought the car, of the sudden acceleration and braking problem since about 2006. it's an intermittent problem that i have had to deal with since i bought this car. my complaints have been that the brake pedal drops to the floor and then the car accelerates forward and that the car accelerates on its own. the service writers have dismissed my complaints and given many excuses such as: when i left the car there to have them check out the problem they said that the problem could not be repeated so the car was fine, another time i was told that the new cars have abs brakes that drop down to the floor, and at a different time they said that with these new cars the rear brakes had to be adjusted at every oil change and etc. there was an incident in 2006 when i was at a stop and some pedestrians were walking across the street. the car did stop but all of the sudden the brake pedal hit the floor and the car started to move forward. i had to pump the brake pedal a few times in order for it work again. thankfully the pedestrians had not passed infront of my car yet. i don't remember the specific date but i do know it was in 2006. on 2/20/2010 i had my husband take the car to get an oil change at claremont toyota. i had my husband take the car because i do not want to lied to or given another excuse because i don't know much about cars. my husband mentioned the problem about the brake pedal going down to the floor and sometimes having to downshift or use the parking brake to slow down the car and was told that this condition exists due to the abs system sensing the rotation of the tires and that the car would eventually stop. my husband then mentioned what we had been told about the rear brakes and the service writer grinned and said that the brakes do not need adjustment. i do not feel safe driving this car because it feels as if it has a mind of its own. *tr

Dt*: the contact stated while driving past a roadside radar check, the display read slower than the speedometer on the vehicle. the dealership determined this was a direct result of the steel wheels; they cause an inaccurate reading with the speedometer. the manufacturer determined the speedometer could be false up to 8 percent, after having a radar test, it was determined the vehicle was off by 9 percent.

i have a 2006 toyota camry with 1700 miles on it. i had problems with the brakes 3 times and have had the car only 8 months. when i try to stop it seems the engine races and the brakes won't stop the car. the first time i went through a stop sign. the second time i was pulling out of a parking lot and the car kept going and was almost hit by a semi-truck. the third time i was stopping for a light and the car sped up. i had my foot on the brakes so i put it in park but it didn't stop and i rear ended a van. the police would not let me drive the car home. oak lawn toyota said i had to have the car towed to my house for them to come out and inspect it. they just wanted me to pay the $300 fee. toyota came to the dealer to inspect it over 3 weeks ago and i still haven't heard anything. i am afraid to drive the car. i only drive it when i have to take my 90 year old father to the grocery store. *jb
