On five separate occasions my 2006 toyota corolla experienced sudden acceleration. vehicle each time was at very low speed, approximately 5 mph, going from park to drive or park to reverse, with light pressure applied to brakes. engine began to race and accelerate, braking harder had no effect, and vehicle stopped only when shifted to park. instances occurred while parallel parking or coming out of a driveway onto a busy street. accelerator was not stuck in down position, but engine roared and raced on its own power. i had no control of vehicle during the four or five seconds it took me to shift into park. vehicle was taken to dealer on november 17, 2017 after first three incidents, with service department finding no problem. vehicle was brought to dealer again on february 14, 2018, after two more incidents of sudden acceleration. service department could not replicate the problem and said they could find nothing wrong with the car. they suggested user error, my confusing the accelerator pedal with the brake pedal. it was not user error and not floor mats stuck under gas pedal. it happened five times and the vehicle is ...

Takata recall - my airbag light while driving also will come on when i first start the car. it started on several days turned off for a few days and came on again. this happens over & over.

Car accelerates by itself drastically making me almost hit a tree. this is the second time i make this complain to toyota. they told me the first time a couple of years ago there was nothing wrong with the car. the acceleration happens not in a regular basis but sporadic. this time it happens when i was going very slow and there were children playing close to my home. i was very slow no more 3 to 5 miles and hour. i had to hit the breaks very hard to stop since as i was turning into the driveway the car accelerated on its own.

Manufacturing defect with odometers in toyota 2006. it is the federal law that mandate functional odometer. it appears that digital gauge in some toyota cars was programmed to disconnect odometer at 299999 millage. not only the replacement of odometer cost $600.00 but the new odometer will have to be set at 0 zero millage which is incorrect and fraudulent. toyota odometer for whatever and unknown reason don't go pass 300000 miles. how otherwise the owner should keep a track of millage. toyota doesn't seems to recognize this defect as a reason for recall and/or reimbursement. so far vehicle is in operation with millage stacked at 299999.

The car was in reverse with foot on the brake when it suddenly accelerated out of control. the cause was definitely unintended acceleration and is the second such incident with this car since it was purchased used in december 2015.

I had my brake applied and was stopping on city street and engine started racing and it hit the van ahead. with my foot on the brake i shifted the car into the park position hoping to stop the racing engine, but, it didn't stop. i am seeking possible source of problem as i would like to keep the vehicle it has only been driven 34,000 miles. car has been repaired but i want to be sure i can have it fixed so i don't injure or kill anyone,

I noticed that my steering wheel was very difficult to turn so that "12" would go farther right than "2" or left than "10". i found that even within that "10" to "2" range, the car was not following my steering fast enough to make turns and curves as quickly as it usually does. i had to slow down sharply to stay on the road. ten minutes later, i had to come to a complete stop in the road in order to direct the wheels into my driveway. during all of this, it seemed that both acceleration and brakes were less responsive than usual. preceding the entire event, the engine had made some clacking/clanging/banging noises and the heat began to blow only cold air. *tr

I was pulling into a parking spot at work (california state university east bay in hayward ca) at approximately 5 mph. i applied the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, but instead of stopping, it went over the curb, crossed the walkway, broke through and knocked over a large bush, rolled down an incline for 3-4 yards, and stopped when it struck a tree. i believe the incident appears similar to the current investigation under nhtsa action number dp14003. *tr

The date and mileage i list are approximate. at first we thought this was an issue related to brakes not releasing, now we see it is related to a gas pedal/throttle issue. what happens is when taking off the car would fall flat, like brakes sticking. now the problem is worsening, and it is apparent that the engine is not responding, that is, no rpm's building. it is not the behavior of an engine hesitating. it is running fine, just unresponsive. now a few days ago monday may 27, 2015 i had an issue and the car would not climb over 15 mph for about 1/2 mile. no missfire, no signs of anything wrong with the engine running. i had the gas pedal down about 1/2 way for the car to even move. the car was recently at midas. they seen no problem with the brakes. *tr
