I purchased a toyota camry 2009 in august of 2009; i notice immediately sudden acceleration several times while driving at average 55 mph in a highway with increasing in speed without stepping in the gas pedal; i could hear a low pitch sound like a cordless drill will sound like and eventually the speed will increase at first got really scared of the sudden acceleration specially when approaching cars in the highway, several times i had to step in the break pedal with force to kind of kill the boost. i also notice that in the surface street experience this jerkingness kind of like a wild bull that wants to push forward without inserting energy to move forward it happen several times while in stop signs or waiting to merge in the flow of traffic; again what i will do is forcefully step in the brake to stop the sudden acceleration. after driving the vehicle for more than 5 months i can predict the behavior and thankfully abort the sudden acceleration. but many times it does scares me specially when approaching cars ahead. i have a family of 5 with 3 small children. my spouse and kids do not want to ride in the car with me for the reasons stated above. *tr
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) hello, i'm [xxx] from u.s. army. my car, toyota camry 2009, had a same problem with that sudden acceleration back in 2008. the car was, of course, brand new, and i had that same experience - all of sudden acceleration. it was after i was finished the all duties for the day, and i was head to my home. when i just drove on the highway, the rpm went up so quickly and suddenly, and even i stepped on the brakes several times. but the rpm had never been go down and stop. so i made the decision to make the transmission shift to neutral, and it worked at that time. at that time, i was in like country side in fort gordon, georgia, and now i'm in south korea to perform the duty here. at that time of that incident, i thought it could happen maybe one time.. very one time.. however, when i read the current newspaper article.. i feel very terrible about this.. because now my wife and my 3year old son ride in toyota camry.. (that's the only one car in our household).. what if there would be a same happening to my wife and my son.. i was o.k. because the highway i drove on was almost no traffic.. as i mentioned earlier, i lived in country side ft. gordon, georgia.. but after i got the duty station in south korea, i relocated my family back to los angeles county, california.. (that's where i came from) i know my wife once told me.. she felt little bit more acceleration when she drove toward down slope.. she had to do the samething, put the transmission shift to the neutral.. what if this kind of incident would be happened in a heavy traffic.. man.. i wish that i would have a total solution for this.. i know that i can't return the car, right? *tr
Was driving on the freeway. car had cruise control on and i stepped on the brakes and disengaged it and continued driving. when i pressed the resume button to get back on cruise control, the car accelerated about 7 mph past the set speed and i had to slam on the brakes and repeatedly press the c.c. cancel button to stop extra acceleration. i understand some people may think it's the car speeding up to get to the speed quickly, which it did, but then it just kept accelerating and the motor was whining like it was really trying to race off. this happened about a half a dozen times before i stopped using the c.c. all together. when i called the dealership i was told it was that the car was "zippy" because it was a v6 and it is the cruise control speeding up to the last set speed. no parts were ever fixed on it. i ended up selling it last year after owning it around 9 months. *tr
