On 21 october 2016 at approximately 9:30 am, i experienced a sudden unintended acceleration with my 2009 corolla. i was parking the car in the parking lot at the embassy suites hotel in norman, ok when the incident occurred. i reversed the vehicle to straighten it up in in a parking space; then, i put the transmission in drive to pull forward. as the car started to roll forward, in an instant, the vehicle's engine self -accelerated to full throttle. with my left foot on the foot rest pedal (dead pedal) and right foot fully depressed on the brake pedal, the abs braking system functioned properly making an audible clicking sound as the car continued darting forward at full throttle. with the vehicle at approximately a 30 degree angle to the curb in front of the parking space, the forward momentum of the vehicle with the abs braking system fully engaged, the driver's side front wheel bounced over the curb, the passenger's side front wheel stopped against the curb and the engine self-decelerated. as the engine decelerated, an audible clicking sound could be heard coming from the engine compartment that stopped as the engine returned to an idle. i have ...

I was stopped at a cross section. started to turn left, gave the car gas and the petal went to the floor with no acceleration. the check engine light went on and i pulled off to the side of the road. shut the car off, started it and tried to rev up the engine. nothing happened. had it towed to my local garage.

My wife was pulling into a parking space and when she hit her brakes the car took off just like been reported with unintended acceleration and witness even saw her brake lights on and the car was put in park and the engine was still revving very high like the accelerator was stuck wide open. this car was repaired under the recall and the pedal and floor mats were replaced. it appears there still an issue with the unintended acceleration. now we have to fix the damage to our car and then one she hit. this needs to be investigated why cars are still having this issue someone could of died because of this flaw in the car.

I was driving on highway with 2 children in back, when car hit 60 mph... it accelerated on its own to 90 mph and would not stop (had foot all way down on break). after prob 30 seconds, the accelerator went down and i pulled off the nearest exit. if there was more traffic on highway, there is no doubt that me and my children would have crashed and been killed.

I have a 2009 toyota corolla (le). i bought it almost exactly 3 years ago with about 12,300 miles on it. currently, it does not have 50k. i have to drive downtown for nursing school, it takes roughly 20-30 minutes. the very terrifying and incredibly dangerous issue that i have been having is that i will be driving 65mph on the expressway and it will suddenly just drop down to 30/40mph. due to this issue, i have almost been in a crash. i will change lanes thinking my car will accelerate to pass someone and it will just drop down to 30mph! also, while i am idle, it will shake and rev..so the rpm will be up close to 2; yet, i am idle! i have read of others experiencing similar issues. this is so dangerous and i do not understand why this has not been addressed sooner. the worst part is no one knows what is wrong. i took it and had a diagnostic test run, it said one of the ignition coils was faulty..on a 2009 toyota with less than 50k miles...that doesn't sound, right huh. well, i took it to a mechanic and they gave me a ...

Takata recall: how could this have a recall and your company is stalling to complete this recall when you are knowing that when driven we can get into a major fatal car accident with the airbags forcing pressure against our bodies and even can burn our face and moreso death can appear during this incident. i was so frightened to think i see the airbag 6 second light light up and blink driving on the highway. thank the lord that nothing happened to cause an accident or a 36o turn multple crash on the rain, mudslide roads..

The high beams on the headlights come on without the control being touched. this began when i first bought the car & still does. at first it would happen at any time of the day but now it happens only when it is dark or getting dark. this could impair the vision of the driver of an oncoming vehicle. it is most dangerous on narrow streets. there are other electrical problems that occur from time to time such as the cruise control, power mirrors, air conditioner, driving & dash lights not working. also the dome light has remained on causing the battery to run down .these latter problems do not seem to pose the threat that the headlights do but they seem to be connected & they are a distraction that could cause problems. i have taken my car to the dealer many times but they never corrected the problem.

I was driving about 5 mph on a parking lot with a slight incline when the car suddenly surged. i was able to apply the brakes, but the vehicle traveled forward about 6 to 10 feet. *tr

Toyota sent me an undated notice of a limited service campaign to install smart stop technology. when i took my car in for the installation, toyota said i first had to have an inspection because i had actually experienced an unintended acceleration though there was no damage or injury. despite my daily phone calls, they have yet to schedule that inspection and to install smart stop, leaving me without a car because they tell me not to drive mine until smart stop is installed. *tr
