I drive a 2007 toyota camry this is one of the safety recall cars. i had been having issues with acceleration before the recall, then got the recall fixed on february 21st. i had a few small issues these past few weeks with it suddenly accelerated but this morning the way to work i was driving on the 101 in phoenix heading to work when my camry suddenly started accelerating this time it was not a small issue but it accelerated to almost 80 mph i was driving around 65 mph when it suddenly started. i got the car slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road to catch my breath because i was very scared. i then made it, the rest of my way to work which was about 8 miles. i drive 50 miles each way to work everyday, i drop my husband off at work, i drop my 17 month old daughter off at daycare and this to me is unacceptable. i as of today do not trust this car to drive any where. something needs to be done about this immediately, can you please help in making that happen. *tr

I have a 2007 toyota camry 4-cylinder non hybrid vehicle. i brought my vehicle in for the required recalls and while i was in line with other cars to drop it off, i needed to move up about 30 feet. i had my foot on the brake and gear in park. i started the car and put the shift lever into drive with my foot still on the brake. the engine started to rev up, but with my foot on the brake, it did not move. i quickly put the shift lever into neutral and shut the engine off. a toyota employee came over and tried to reproduce the situation, but could not. i have a problem with the recall fix. if the car accelerates for no apparent reason and i put my foot on the brake, the acceleration is supposed to stop, but in the time between sudden acceleration and my foot hitting the brake pedal, i could have an accident. my wife and i am very wary about driving this car. *tr
2007 toyota camry recalled had the new parts installed @ dealership. after which i experienced the accelerator sticking and not slowing down without pressure to brakes. returned to the dealership and they said they couldn't duplicate the problem, found no fault codes and rechecked the fixes they had previously installed. the problem still remains, the car doesn't decelerate when you let off the accelerator and in fact had an instance of it speeding up and decelerating freely on it's own. the dealership informed me there is nothing they can do as their computers didn't find anything wrong but as the owner of this vehicle there is clearly something wrong with it that i do not feel safe driving this vehicle. *tr
Toyota camry accelerator pedal fix not acceptable...way too small pedal after being cut having just received my recall notices i quickly made my appointment to complete all three (3) toyota recalls for my 2007 camry. prior to dropping my camry off at queensboro toyota i performed my "due diligence" and research the possibility of having part number 15772-31030 used for recall #ssc-90k. google and bing researches clearly alluded to using part number 15772-31030 which is a 1-piece solid metal tube versus the trouble prone 3-piece 04009-33131 used by the dealer. i requested part number 15772-31030 be used to effect the repair and even offered to pay for the part out of my own pocket. my concern is this is my first toyota vehicle having decided to wean myself off domestically made vehicles due to a perceived quality lacking in domestically manufacturer's vehicles. i even reluctantly purchased a 7-yr 100k toyota extended warranty for peace of mind having had terrible experiences with toyota vehicles in the early 1970's. i am not happy having had to settle for the same problem prone part for recall ssc-90k and believe this is toyota's way of delaying a proper viable oil line fix until my warranty runs out in which case it will be on "my dime" to fixed an already inevitable repair once again. i am also not too thrilled with also having my accelerator pedal "cut" and i already find my foot slipping off the accelerator pedal as i accelerate or let off the gas when i drive. my wife refuses to drive or be driven around in this 2007 camry due to her belief it is a time bomb waiting to once again manifest unintended acceleration issues. my immediate concern is toyota "cheaped out" using the same oil leaking prone part just to save labor costs versus using a 1-piece solid metal oil tube which is now in all the 2009 and 2010 camry's....please do not insult me by stating the 3-piece oil line is "just as good" as a solid 1-piece metal oil line. *tr

While driving my 2007 toyota camry at a speed of 35 mph, i attempted to stop normally to situate my car behind a chevy tahoe, who was waiting on a red light. despite pressing the brakes and pumping the brake several times, i continued to go forward. mind you, i have already had toyota's recall fixed at the albany toyota dealership in georgia. the only reason that i did not hit the suv in front of me was that i ran off the road. *tr
My 2007 camry hesitates when trying to accelerate from a standstill, and rpm keeps dropping from 2000 rpm to 1000 rpm for a second and back to 2000 rpm as i'm trying to maintain speed. it could make my car to slide on icy road because of this engine braking, and it happens every time i just touch gas pedal and let go rpm drops and goes back to cruising rpm all in 1 second. this happens as soon as i remove my foot of the gas pedal, causing like braking feeling. i told toyota dealership in guelph, ontario about this problem but their master service advisor craig allen says that is normal. i believe that there is electronic throttle issue. *tr

2007 toyota camry. consumer states unintended acceleration. *tgw the consumer stated in 2007 he reported to toyota an accelerator problem. there was a hesitation when pressing the pedal. after stating nothing was wrong, toyota provided an internal bulletin; not a public bulletin to germain toyota of sarasota as a result the dealer used a computer to recalibrate the ecm. updated 04/06/10.*jb the consumer stated he received a recall notice in the mail regarding the sudden accelerated problem. the consumer believed the sudden acceleration problem was due to the ecm. updated 04/21/10
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) i received a toyota safety recall notice on my 2007 camry. the notice described three separate repairs/remedy to my vehicle. the first repair involved installing a metal shim in the gas pedal assembly, which i had the dealer perform. the second "remedy" involved a technician cutting a section off the end of the gas pedal and cutting out a section of padding from under the drivers floor pan carpet. i declined this work as i have a newly designed awfm properly secured in place and do not believe this "remedy" would retain the oem quality of the vehicle - toyota should redesign and install a new gas pedal instead. the third repair involved installing a brake override system. of the three repairs, this is the most important as it offers a broad level of protection against unintended acceleration versus the narrow level of protection provided by the other two. when i called my toyota dealership to have the brake override system installed they refused to do the work without also performing the gas pedal and carpet padding modification "remedy". i explained my dispute over this work and was given the number to toyota customer service. after a forty minute wait i explained the situation to the toyota customer service representative hilda. she also stated that toyota was unwilling to install the brake override system without doing the other modification work. when i asked her for a reason she stated that toyota agreed to nhtsa to do the work as a single recall. when i pressed her to determine if the nhtsa required toyota to only perform the work if both the repair and "remedy" were done together, she stated she was unable to help me further and provided me with a case number ([xxx]). what do i have to do to make my vehicle safe? why is cutting up a vehicle without committing to properly repairing it at a later date considered acceptable? *tr

I own a 2007 toyota camry le. i reported this problem to the dealer in redding, ca about the cruise control system within a month of ownership; however, they said it is normal operation. i doubt it very much, how the cruise control resumes back to the set speed almost instantly by raising the rpm over 5000, which will make you feel the car is going out of control. i have been driving cars for over 30 years and own many makes and models but none of them behaved in this way. this was my first toyota car, i strongly believe the car maker should look in to the cruise control systems that might give them clues about accidental acceleration problems that i am hearing regularly. *tr
I own a 2007 toyota camry that was part of the gas pedal recall where sudden acceleration was periodically happening with my car. i had the recall work done about 3 weeks ago but about a week ago my car was speeding up when i didn't even have the gas pedal depressed, i was at a stop light with my foot on the brake when all of a sudden the car was trying to accelerate on me! there have been 2 more occurrences of this since then and i don't believe their repairs worked or its the computer or electrical or something, i called the dealer and they are having me bring it back in but they aren't sure what else can be done since they already fixed the recalled pedal. you need to have toyota do more, it clearly was what they insisted it was. *tr

I own a 2007 toyota camry and was involved in an auto accident today. a pickup truck broadsided me. as soon as the truck hit me i hit the brakes. the camry did not stop and instead quickly accelerated and fish tailed out of control. i finally gained control of the steering but ended up three lanes across from where i was hit and into a gas station having to drive between the gas pumps hoping to avoid an explosion. i hit a parked car at the pump and kept going about 5 to 10 more feet and the car finally just stopped like nothing happen. i could have died today! it felt like i was driving on ice or like someone floored the gas pedal. i had no control of the car. i do know for certainty i had my foot on the brake the entire time all this was happening. *tr

Unintended acceleration in cold weather: this has been a problem since i first bought the car new in 2007 ( 2007 toyota camry le 4 cyl engine, automatic transmission). this occurs during cold weather ( less than 30 f) and during the first 20 minutes of driving. problem description: when i am driving with light pressure on the accelerator and remove my foot to slow down, the car abruptly slows down after 1 to 2 seconds (tachometer drops from 1800 rpm to 1000 rpm) and makes a clunking sound. after 1 to 4 seconds, without touching the accelerator pedal, the car will then speed up ( another clunking sound from the drive train). the tachometer jumps from 1000 to 2000 rpm approximately. this occurs in all gears and is severe in 3rd gear when i take my foot off the accelerator and begin to brake. the result of this malfunction is immediate skidding on ice or snow cover surfaces. if i am in a turn, the car will start skidding in an uncontrolled manner. i live in new england so the roads are often slick in winter. i had reported this to service shortly after buying the car and was told it's normal, they can't reproduce the problem, they have no diagnostic faults, they can't find my service records, etc. i am reporting this because this could cause sliding accidents in winter weather and may have caused accidents in the past, particularly with people who are not prepared for this event. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact was driving approximately between 30-35 mph on normal conditions. the "cruise control control" warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. there were several attempts of braking and the warning indicator remained illuminated until the engine was turned off. the failure occurred intermittent. in addition, there was an increase of acceleration unexpectedly. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. there was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number 10v017000 (vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal). the vehicle was repaired for the recall defect. the technician was unable to locate the electrical malfunction with the warning indicator. the vin was unavailable. the failure mileage was 69,000.
Toyota camry recall was "corrected" last month, as to the accelerator pedal issue. the acceleration now seems more erratic than before. i do not believe it was a pedal problem, rather an electronic one. i have not taken the car on the open road but am scheduled to do so soon. i am 72, if i should have a problem, i'm sure that toyota corp. would attribute it to my age or some other excuse. the pedal is not consistently responsive on acceleration, seems to have a delay at times, then suddenly kicks in. it is inconsistent enough that the dealer can test it and find nothing wrong. i would like an outside evaluation before something serious happens to me or to other owners in the same situation. *tr
My 2007 toyota camry is dangerous and defective. i have being saying since my first maintenance check at the dealer that the car doesn't seem to be working the way it should. now it has been recalled for a "sticky pedal". the problems i have are not a sticky pedal problem. the car lurches at times when accelerating. it lurches forward from stops. i have already hit a curb because of it just a couple of weeks ago. i have video footage of the road and the damage to the car from hitting the curb. i can email you the video footage. the car also seems to drift momentarily as if there is a steering synchronization lapse defect. when i mentioned these both to the dealer a year ago, the dealer's service tech said it was just the safety feature of the car working properly. there are split seconds when the steering wheel does not control the car while it is driving. this all seems to happen randomly. i wonder if toyota programmed the car to do this on purpose to increase the number of times i would need to have the car serviced. the dealership has so far refused to take the car back and cancel my lease. so i am still driving this unpredictable car every day. there is something wrong with this car. *tr
we own a 2007 toyota camry and have gone to our local dealership to have the recall taking care of. and to our surprise our gas pedal was cut to a size much smaller than its original version. we have never received notification of this solution for this recall, nor have seen anything on the media that states this is what is being done for a solution. the gas pedal in this format is unacceptable and my foot does not sit properly on the pedal as it should and did before this adjustment. we feel that a new gas pedal should be installed. we purchased this vehicle new and should be entitled to new parts for recalled items, not damaged items in a new vehicle. is there anything you can do to assist with this matter or address toyota corp regarding this solution? *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated she had not experienced the unintended acceleration until she took the vehicle to the dealer for them to install a chip in the accelerator pedal. the vehicle started to accelerate after she retrieved it from the dealer. the vehicle was towed back to the dealer. the dealer informed the contact that they will be resetting the computer. the toyota manufacturer had not been called at the time of the complaint. the failure mileage was 41,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer to have nhtsa campaign id numbers 09v388000 and 10v017000 (vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal) repairs performed. after the vehicle was repaired, the vehicle accelerated while his foot was on the brake pedal. the vehicle proceeded to crash into a curb and a fence. the contact was not injured. the vehicle was towed to a repair shop but the manufacturer had the vehicle towed to an authorized dealer for further inspection. the failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 20,100. updated 05/11/10. *lj
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the contact stated as he was driving 15 mph the vehicle started to accelerate at a uncontrollable speed. he put his feet on the brakes and the gear in neutral the vehicle slowed down but as he waited for about five minutes before moving. the vehicle motor kept revving. he drove the vehicle home and called the dealer. the vehicle was towed to the dealer and a representative took it out for a test drive and inform him the transmission was burnt out and that they are going to replace the transmission. the contact stated he is not safe driving the vehicle and does not want the vehicle back. the failure mileage was 12,500. the consumer stated the part was on backorder for the recall. the transmission was replaced. updated 04/13/10
On feb 10, 2010 my 07 toyota camry accel pedal stuck on me, 5 days after the recall was done on it. it revved from 2000-4000 rpms, i had to brake hard for it to stop and regain control. took it into toyota, they looked at it, returned the car and told me "nothing was wrong." on march 4, 2010 it happened again, this time it accelerated from 20 mph to 40 mph in a split second, and i almost hit the car in front of me. again i had brake hard to gain control of my vehicle. toyota again looked over my car, and again came up with nothing wrong with my car. so that is two times after the recall was completed that my has accelerated. it also did accelerate before the recall. *tr
In 2007 we leased a new camry along with another new toyota product on the same day. my wife has had the accelerator stick on her and she had to use the emergency brake to stop the car and ran off the road. she narrowly avoided having a terrible accident in the car while my four year old daughter was in the car with her. the dealership picked up the car and attempted to fix it. the first time my wife drove the car the accelerator stuck again. they have since came and picked it up again and have had it for almost two weeks with no progress or solutions offered. the car is unsafe and they have no solutions to fix it. they tell us they're waiting on toyota engineers to come but have no date or time that will happen. my wife is terrified of the car and rightfully so. there are only 15 months left on the lease and we just want them to purchase the car back. it is leased through toyota financial. this has been going on for too long for them to have no solutions for a repair. *tr
I own a 2007 toyota camry. on many separate occasions, i have experienced not a sudden acceleration but a subtle increase in speed, while on level road. the impression i had was that the cruise control was operating when it was not even turned on. i was able to maintain control of the car. i have taken the car to the dealer and explained what it was doing but was told i must have had the cruise control activated. they did try to recreate the problem but could not. the vehicle has since had the "accelerator pedal fixed" as a result of toyota's most recent recall. however, the car continues to randomly "accelerate". i do not believe the pedal was ever the problem and in light of the current number of reported incidents, i have lost all confidence in driving this vehicle. i feel it is important to report these incidents because i believe this is the same as the more critical reports and that the cause of the problem is still unknown and the nature of my incident is probably happening to alot of drivers but they either don't realize it or think it is not important enough to report. *tr
I have been experiencing surges in power in my 2007 toyota camry since i bought it in december 2008. they seem to happen only when the vehicle is cold. could this be part of the recall problems? should i continue to drive it? *tw
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. the vehicle had previously been repaired under nhtsa recall campaign id number: 10v017000 (vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal). since repairs, the vehicle would intermittently exhibit sudden acceleration failures and would also surge in reverse at various speeds. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who referred her back to the dealer which made the recall repairs on the vehicle. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 32,452 and the current mileage was 37,135.
Tomorrow will be the 3rd time i have taken my 2007 toyota camry in for vsc problems. luckily i purchased an extended warranty. i picked up my car from the dealership on friday 2-12-2010 and within one hour the vsc , check engine light was on. the dealer has been responsive but given all of the problems with this model i thought i should file a complaint. *tr
This problem may be related to the toyota gas pedal recall. i have a 2007 toyota camry le. when i am on the freeway and moving in a slow lane, and change lane and push on the gas pedal to accelerate, the car takes a few seconds to respond. as a result, i have almost been hit from other cars coming because my car was not accelerating fast enough. i never had such problem with other cars. i took my car to the dealer several occasion (3 or 4 times), and the very last time, i was told that there is nothing they can do as the sensor and software on the sensor works this way, and this problem is by design. i tried contacting toyota, and they sort of shrugs me away and did not respond. this problem is still there after 4 years of owning the car and i can reproduce it very easily. it happens every day and is an ongoing problem. i hope you would look at this issue and let me know what you find. thank you. *tr
I have had issues getting my toyota camry fixed that was recalled. the toyota website listed it as one of the vehicles in the massive recall however, the local dealer stated it was not in the recall. i spent 2 hours on hold before i was able to talk with a person at the toyota customer center who confirmed that it was on the list but came up with excuses about getting it fixed. i then called back the local dealer and was extremely assertive about getting it fixed - it will not be fixed until hopefully sometime next week though the local dealer indicted he was still unsure if it was being recalled. apparently there is a communication issue. additionally, last week i had issues with the vehicle going forward a bit on its own. it appears to me that toyota is not taking this seriously...the transportation secretary stated he would "hold toyota's feet to the fire"....so, let's make sure that people do not have to issues getting the problem fixed since people are already being inconvenienced having to take time off from work to get cars repaired because apparently the toyota company cared more about mass producing a cheaper vehicle and saving money at the expense of human life. *tr
While driving my car to work it would accelerate. my car had two recalls. the dealership had my car during most of the month of february. they called me and indicated the car was repaired. drove car to work and car accelerated again. took car back to dealership and they put in a new drive shaft. at that point i was too scared to get back in car. i had no confidence that the problem was fixed and i don't really think they knew what was wrong with the car as it was still unsafe to drive. i could not get back in that car nor could i afford to go to another dealership to purchase a new one. i qualified for their 0% financing on a 2010 new production with no recall and free two year maintenance agreement. i felt trapped with no choice but to buy the car as i had put $11,000 on the 2007 which was a loss. i have been driving over 30 years and never had an accident or ticket until i bought this car. *tr
I lease a 2007 toyota camry. i experienced sudden acceleration when driving up a hill. because i was on a hill i gave the car a lot of gas. however, the gas pedal seemed to go further than i intended and the car began to accelerate. i placed the car in neutral and hit the breaks, which stopped the car without incident. i had to tap the gas pedal a few times to get it to disengage. toyota applied the gas pedal recall 'fix' a few days later. however, i am concerned that they have not correctly diagnosed the problem. it seems to me that the gas pedal went down further than i pressed it, meaning there may be some electronic or other problem rather than 'sticking.' i know you have many such complaints, but i think it is important to determine if toyota's remedy is adequate. thank you. *tr
