Problems with 2007 Toyota Camry VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

I have toyota camry 2007. i had experienced the rpm shooting up in low acceleration. i took the vehicle to dealer for repair in early feb 2010, but the dealer detected no problem. however, as the problem persisted and it happened frequently, so i took the video of speedometer and tachometer, and went back to dealer with the video. mechanics at the dealer tried to duplicate the problem with computer hooked to my car, and i drove the car with them. but again, the problem could not be duplicated. dealer advised me that this has nothing to do with sudden acceleration of toyota vehicles, and asked me to come back if the problem persists. toyota did not perform any repair at that time. however, after this visit to the dealer, i have not experienced the same problem as frequently. i may have noticed it few times in the past month although i feel that acceleration seem unsteady. no accident has occurred, and i do not have sudden acceleration problem as reported on the news. however, i am concerned that the problem i have might be related to the sudden acceleration problem. i would like to provide the video if it can help nhtsa's current investigation for sudden acceleration of toyota vehicles. the consumer felt the transmission temporarily disengaged or down shifted temporarily. the rpm jumped about 200-500 rpms momentarily. when it happened, the consumer felt an abrupt, but slight jerk, but it didn't accelerate in an uncontrolled manner. updated 04/29/10 *jb

Problem with accelerator sticking at high speed (70 mph); considerable lag between removing foot from gas pedal and deceleration. required hard braking to avoid hitting another vehicle. *tr

Prior to the accident i had my vehicle serviced. i got and oil changed, changed front and rear brake pads and replaced two tires. i asked the toyota dealership about the recall and whether or not they could fix the problem then and even stated i received the notice in the mail. i was basically turned away i was told that i had to wait to receive my second notice in the mail and that by then they should have the parts to fix the problem. prior to having my car serviced my car accelerated before however i thought that it was due to the traction on my tires and worn pads. little did i know that i would soon find that was my no means the case. a little over two weeks after having my maintenance done on my vehicle i was headed to work on the highway it had just stopped raining when my car picked up in speed to well over 75 mph. from there everything happened so fast. the car was accelerating i panicked given a car right in front of me i steered over to the right lane to avoid the collision and in doing so i hit water on the road which caused me to begin to hydroplaned. my first reaction was to brake however that didn't work it only caused me to hydroplane more spinning about 5 times over a ditch and landing in between two trees. everything about this accident was a nightmare. i accrued several expenses one totaling my car which i haven't even had a year as well as back and neck pain. i not only notified toyota and made several attempts to have the problem resolved i also contacted the national headquarters of toyota inc and still nothing has been done. *tr

On friday jan 29, 2010 i arrived at my workplace in piscataway, nj. as i pulled into the parking lot and was slowing into a parking spot, my 2007 camry which i was driving accelerated and took off on its own. before i knew what was happening, the car had hit a curb, jumped over the curb and onto a major road. i don't know how i avoided a head on collision with a car on the road. my immediate sense was to steer onto a nearby tree to avoid going onto a busier street nearby. the front tire had burst on impact with the curb and that probably helped slow the car down. as i matched on the brake, the car managed to stop and miraculously, i did not hit anybody or anything. if the camry just had a sticking gas pedal, what is the likelihood that the car could have gained enough acceleration and speed to make the impact it made with the curb. i was very close to the curb -- about 2 to 3 feet from the curb. my car was almost at a full stop. i believe that when my car sped off, it must have hit the curb at about a speed of 50 miles per hour or more. i am worried that even after toyota inserts the small corrective metal in the pedal, the problem may still be there. wouldn't it be unforgiveably tragic if anyone should get hurt or die from a run-away toyota after the corrective metal has been inserted? *tr see also 10313254 with repository letter

This is in regards to my 2007 toyota camry accelerator. i first learned of this in september of 2009. i bought the car in may of 2009. since having ownership i noticed that the car just wants to take off. even when my foot is not on the accelerator. last month when i was driving down the road i tried to miss a tire ice rut. that didn't happen. i lost control of the car and for some reason it sped up. when i stopped my foot was on the brake. i ended up in a snow bank and hit someone's fence. i ended up doing $800.00 in damage to my right fender and $50.00 to the fence. i paid the people for the fence but i have to save to get my car fixed.*tr

2010 toyota recall had a rear end crash on 1/6/2010. vehicle in front was turning left and i was turning right. both we at a dead stop until traffic cleared. vehicle eased up to turn left and i slightly accelated (was on an upward incline) but gas pedal acceleralted beyond my pressure. rear ended the vehicle with significate damage.*cw

On january 2, 2010 at approximately 1:30 i was traveling north on route 146. the weather conditions were poor and i was traveling at approximately 50mph. my car continued to accelerate and when i proceeded to hit the brake pedal it skipped and my car did not slow down at all. i believe that partially the icy weather conditions were to blame but in my opinion a 2007 vehicles breaks should not skip on a regular basis and the gas pedal should always work properly. i have called the dealership several time namely balise and they have not returned any of my phone calls regarding the recent recall. i understand that the call volume on this issue is probably gigantic yet when a customer, especially one having issues with their vehicle should be prioritize. due to this my vehicle sustained over $9,000 in damages and i have over $5,000 in medical bills. in this incident i hit a guard rail to avoid hitting other cars and my opinion it could have been much worse. i truly believe toyota are great vehicles and have always had a great reputation that is why i have only owned this make of vehicle. *tr

2007 toyota camry, from time we purchased car it would accelerate to high rate of speed when trying to speed up, ie; getting on freeway, passing and most especially when cruise control was in use, (same as steve wosnieck, apple computer is reporting). i addressed this with dealer almost every time i had car serviced, they said it was due to computer. said computer takes 30 sec. or so to catch up and that caused the "lurch" or increased speed. on recent trip, car went as fast as 85mph (from 60) when i finally applied brake and turned off cruise control. there was no floor mat in car, no problem with pedal. also had problem with cruise control, would not hold speed on down-hill drive. dealer said it was not designed to work on down hill. this happened on even minor down grades, would just take off! on 1/27/10 i went to dealer and purchased what they said was a "safe" no issue 2010 camry. they said this one had the safe "pedal". now i am hearing issues that it is with the computer! i feel skunked! i had my car almost paid off and now am back in debt for another 5 years! not happy. this problem was on-going from the time we bought the 2007, last incident was date below on way home from vegas. i do feel lucky and thankful that so far i am alive to report this! *tr

I am an engineer so not complaining in reaction to the news but i have a 2007 camry le (4 cylinder) which i bought brand new and in the past 3 years, it has 'accelerated' considerably several times whenever i switch off my cruise control. i can count atleast 6 instances when this has happened and braking fixed the acceleration so luckily no accidents but only caused my increased heart rate. my personal experience really makes me feel that there is more going on with toyota than just the brake pedal. that's why i have not even taken it in yet to get the 'fix'. this should be investigated thoroughly and i am sure there are deeper issues than we currently know of. *tr

I have a 2007 toyota camry. while parallel parking, i had my foot on the brake and the car surged forward at a high rate of speed that i could not control. the brakes were ineffective and i stopped by crashing into the car in front of me. there was some mild bumper damage. i believe the same thing happened last year when i was in a minor motor vehicle accident. i was traveling with traffic and was unable to stop at a red light and hit the car in front of me that was stopped for the light. i was keeping with traffic which was not traveling at a high rate of speed, but the car kept going and braking was ineffective to stop it. i had the car towed to the dealership and they told me they could find nothing wrong with the car. *tr

I stopped my newly purchased (10/1/09) 2007 toyota camry to let passengers out... then i tried to move it up about a half car length and park it in front of my garage door. instead of moving up slowly it suddenly zoomed out of control at high speed and exploded (flying glass and boards everywhere!) right through the garage door. i thought i was going to come out the other side, fortunately the tractor and other heavy garage equipment stopped it. the wheels were still spinning and smoke was pouring out.. it was very frightening as i thought it would catch on fire, the only way out...as it was covered in debris....was over the back seat and out the passenger side door. it did $7000 worth of damage to my car and $4,000+ damage to my home and possessions . it had destroyed my confidence in driving it. what if it happened again and in traffic? horrors...someone, including me could be killed! i haven't driven it in over a week...can't get up the nerve! i should probably sell it...except who would buy it with it's history? there is something wrong with this car and you need a deeper look into this problem. *tr
