TOYOTA CAMRY 2010, WAS DRIVEN TO DENTIST OFFICE PARKING LOT. WHILE PARKING THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED TO BRING IT TO A STANDSTILL. HOWEVER, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND LEAPED FORWARD AND SMASHED AGAINST AN IMMOVABLE WALL IN FRONT. ALL THIS WHILE THE WHEEL KEPT ON SPINNING UNCONTROLLABLY. FRONT OF CAR IS BADLY MAULED DEPICTING THE UNCALLED FOR MOMENTUM. GLAD THAT THERE WAS A WALL AS THIS ABORTED THE FEARSOME CRAZE. DRIVER BADLY SHAKEN WITH MODERATE INJURY.

ON MY MORNING COMMUTE I HAD TO INITIATE A FAST ACCELERATION BY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY TO GAIN SPEED AND UPON TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL I NOTICED IT REMAINED DEPRESSED FULLY AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THIS SITUATION HAD HAPPENED A YEAR PRIOR IN A SIMILAR CASE WHERE I HAD PUT "THE PEDAL TO THE METAL" AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES ALLOWED THE ACCELERATOR TO DISENGAGE AND OPERATE AS NORMAL. THE INSTANCE TODAY OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT; MAX ACCELERATION WAS ENGAGED AT AROUND 5MPH AND MY TOP SPEED REACHED 40MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

Mileage: 85,000

EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I'VE NOTICED THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY TOUCH AND IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY FROM A STOP. THE BRAKES ARE ALSO EXTREMELY TOUCHY SO IT'S HARD TO COME TO A SMOOTH STOP WITHOUT JERKING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES I'M VERY WORRIED THAT MY CAR WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD ACCIDENTS OR NEAR ACCIDENTS HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN USING SPEED CONTROL IT WILL ALWAYS BLINK AND HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF AND ON

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED A CRASH INVOLVING THREE CARS. *JS

I APPLIED THE BRAKES SLOWLY AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MOVING ABOUT 25 MPH AND INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR ACCELERATED--IT JOLTED FORWARD! I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES HARDER. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON ONE DRIVE--I ALMOST HIT AN 18 WHEELER. IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD DO? I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY VEHICLE ON APRIL 20, 2017, MY CAR SURGED FORWARD AND DID NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I HIT ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE AND DID CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THAT VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. OVER $6,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY CAR ALONE. ON SEPT. 7, 2017, AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO PARK MY CAR, I WAS ADVANCING VERY SLOWLY AND PRESSING VERY LIGHTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD VERY QUICKLY. I TRIED WITH GREAT FORCE TO APPLY THE BRAKE SO AS NOT TO HIT ANY OTHER VEHICLES NEAR ME. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP BUT WAS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO THE LITTLE PRESSURE I APPLIED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PART THE CAR IN BOTH INSTANCES.

TWICE WHILE DRIVING LAST WEEK THE CAR ABRUPTLY AND ON ITS OWN, ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW IT DOWN. THE SECOND TIME I PUMPED ON THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, WITHOUT RESULT. I KEPT PUMPING AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE REVVED OVER AND OVER AND IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF EFFORT TO ACTUALLY STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE ONLY STOP REVVING UP WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH GAVE A HUGE JOLT TO THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT NOT EASILY. I HAD MY YOUNG SON IN THE CAR WITH ME AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY. THE ENGINE ONLY STOPPED REVVING WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH CAUSED A HUGE JOLT OF THE CAR.

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE PROBLEMS WITH UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION BEGAN WITH THIS CAR, BUT THEY ARE FAIRLY RECENT. ALL OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED OR MOVING VERY SLOWLY. I DO NOT HAVE VERY GOOD RECOLLECTIONS OF THE EARLIEST OF THESE OCCURRENCES, BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE LAST THREE CLEARLY. THE FIRST OF THESE WAS IN MARCH 2015. I WAS DRIVING IN AN AREA WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 MPH AND HAD STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I REMEMBER CLEARLY THAT I HAD MY FOOT SOLIDLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL; I HAD BEEN MAKING A SPECIAL POINT OF THAT AS A RESULT OF THE EARLIER OCCURRENCES. I FELT THE ENGINE SPEED UP, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS ON MARCH 29TH WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND HAD STOPPED AT A FOUR-WAY STOP. I WAS WAITING FOR A PEDESTRIAN (WALKING A DOG) WHO WAS CROSSING THE ROAD ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE FROM WHERE I WAS STOPPED. I DO NOT HAVE A FIRM RECOLLECTION OF EXACTLY WHERE MY RIGHT FOOT WAS POSITIONED, BUT IT CERTAINLY WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED, HEADING TOWARD THE PEDESTRIAN. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING HER BY MAKING A SHARP RIGHT TURN INTO THE CROSS STREET AND THEN BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE THIRD OCCASION WAS ON APRIL 5TH. IN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR IN A LOT NEAR A GROCERY STORE, I TURNED THE CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING SPACE. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL GENTLY TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AT THE CURB ON A MEDIAN STRIP THAT SEPARATED MY PARKING AREA FROM A SIMILAR ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEDIAN. THE CAR WAS JUST A FEW FEET FROM WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE STOPPED WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED OVER THE CURB, AND CROSSED THE MEDIAN, STRIKING AN UNOCCUPIED CAR PARKED ON THE OTHER SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY CAR ONLY AFTER THE CRASH CAUSED SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPERS OF BOTH CARS. *TR

ON SUNDAY, MAY 18, 2014, I STARTED MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND MY CHECK ENGINE AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. I HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CAR. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY MORNING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, THE FIRST ONE I COULD GET WAS JUST OVER A WEEK AWAY. I QUESTIONED THE DEALERSHIP IF MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY SAID YES, AS LONG AS THE VSC LIGHT WASN'T BLINKING. MY CAR WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 27. I WAS TOLD MY BRAKE ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT AND THE REPAIRS WERE AROUND $2,400 BEFORE TAXES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FROM A CHARCOAL CANISTER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ANOTHER $500+. THE PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED AND IT WAS MAY 30 WHEN MY CAR WAS READY. WHEN QUESTIONING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT WHY MY BRAKE ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT, THEY ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING I HAD DONE AND THEY SAID THEY'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH OTHERS GOING OUT. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THAT OTHER MODELS BY TOYOTA HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. IF THE COMPANY IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN OTHER MODELS, THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT WAS FAULTY AND FAILED. AFTER SEARCHING, I ALSO FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AS WELL IN VARIOUS MODELS BY THE COMPANY. PERHAPS RESEARCH SHOULD BE DONE ON THIS ISSUE ALSO. MY CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP IT HAD 54,259 MILES. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY REITERATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS; THEREFORE, AT THIS POINT TOYOTA COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THE REPAIR. *TR

ON JANUARY 18, 2010 MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY, SE MODEL FROM ARLINGTON TOYOTA, JACKSONVILLE, FL. A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, TOYOTA COMPANY RECALLED THIS VEHICLE MODEL DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE ACCELERATOR GETS JAMMED ON THE FLOOR MAT, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE UNINTENTIONALLY. WE TOOK OUR TOYOTA CAMRY TO ARLINGTON TOYOTA ON JULY 8, 2010 TO RESOLVE THE RECALL PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE UNTIL AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. ON JUNE 27, 2012, ABOUT 7:00 P.M., MY WIFE AND I WENT TO TIRE PLUS CAR CARE, JUST WEST OF HODGES BLVD ON ATLANTIC BLVD AND ABOUT A MILE FROM WHERE WE LIVE. MY WIFE AND I WERE APPROACHING A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF THE TIRE PLUS CAR CARE. AS SHE WAS SLOWLY PARKING, AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED AT THE SPEED OF ABOUT 40 ? 50 MILES AN HOUR HITTING THE CURB, THE TREE AND IRRIGATION PIPE ON THE MOUND OF LANDSCAPE IN FRONT OF TIRE PLUS CAR CARE. AT HOME, AFTER WE LEFT OUR VEHICLE TO TIRE PLUS TO ASSESS THE DAMAGES ON MY CAR, I DISCUSSED THE ACCIDENT SCENARIO WITH MY WIFE. I ASKED HER IF SHE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHILE PARKING AND SHE FIRMLY SAID NO. HER REACTION TO THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, BEING SO CLOSE TO THE PARKING CURB, WAS TO STOP THE CAR AND THEREFORE SHE WOULD HAVE JUST HIT THE BRAKE FIRMLY AS HER RIGHT FOOT WAS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THE TOYOTA VEHICLE RECALL THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TURNED-IN TO RESOLVE THE ACCELERATOR GETTING STUCK ON THE FLOOR-MAT MAY STILL HAVE PROBLEM OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. MY WIFE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AND ESCALATE OUR EXPERIENCE SO WE COULD HOPEFULLY WARN OTHER OWNERS AND HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT MAY OCCUR TO CONSUMERS BY A RECALLED VEHICLE THAT UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATE. *TR

ON FRIDAY, 25 MARCH, 2011 AT ABOUT 4 PM, MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN DECELERATION EVENT ON OUR 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE MADE A RIGHT TURN & IN ABOUT A HALF MILE, THE CAMRY SUDDENLY SLOWED TO LESS THAN 10 MPH FROM ABOUT 40 MPH. SHE PULLED INTO THE FIRST PARKING LOT TO THE RIGHT AND SHUT OFF THE CAMRY. SHE SAID NO MATTER HOW MUCH SHE PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING TO THE ACCELERATOR. SHE SAID THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. SHE TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR AND DROVE A LITTLE IN THE PARKING LOT, THE 2 DASH LIGHTS WERE ON, BUT IT WAS DRIVING OK. SHE DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY APPROXIMATELY 5 MORE MILES TO OUR HOME. I ARRIVED SOON & I CHECKED THE CODES WITH MY DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, AND THE ECU WAS SHOWING AN ACTIVE P0121 (THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR A, CIRCUIT RANGE PERFORMANCE). SO WE DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY TO ATLANTA TOYOTA, 2345 PLEASANT HILL ROAD, DULUTH, GA 30096. DURING THE DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF. I REPORTED THE CODE P0121 TO THE SERVICE REP, AND THE DRIVING SYMPTOMS. THE NEXT DAY (SATURDAY, 26 MARCH 2011) ATLANTA TOYOTA CALLED ME REPORTING THAT THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE ECU. I REPEATED THE CODE THAT I HAD READ. THE REP STATED THEY WOULD CHECK AGAIN. AGAIN ATLANTA TOYOTA CALLED ME, STATING NO CODES FOUND, AND THEY HAD TEST DRIVEN THE CAR AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY. ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE CLOCK TIME HAD CHANGED ABOUT 30 MINUTES, AND ALL THE RADIO PRESETS WERE GONE, AS IF THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED.I INQUIRED AND THE DEALERSHIP REP SAID THE BATTERY HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED.MY CONCERN IS THIS TOYOTA MAY HAVE REPROGRAMMED MY CAR DUE TO THE SUDDEN DECELERATION ISSUE, (HENCE THE CLOCK & RADIO CHANGES), AND THEY ARE NOT BEING FORTHCOMING REGARDING REPAIRS. ALL THEY WILL SAY IS, THERE WERE NO CODES.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2010 CAMRY. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS TOO SENSITIVE AND THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I WAS ASSURED THAT ALL ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALL MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE ON THE CAR BEFORE THE SALE. I WAS STILL NOT SATISFIED. THE MANAGER OF THE SHOP AND I DID A TEST DRIVE AND AFTER A DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND DESIGN DEFECTS WE JOINTLY AGREED TO TRY AND REPLACE THE PEDAL MECHANISM WITH ONE MADE - NOT BY THE US VENDOR - BUT BY NIPPONDENSO -- TOYOTA'S ALTERNATE VENDOR IN JAPAN. TO MY GREAT SURPRISE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS OF A DIFFERENT DESIGN AND FEEL. WITH THE NIPPONDENSO PEDAL THE FOOTS POSITION ON THE PEDAL IS AT A MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE ANGLE. BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL THE RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS IS A 100% BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN MADE PEDAL. WITH THE US MADE PEDAL THE CAR HAD A "STEP" RESPONSE WHILST WITH THE NIPPONDENSO PEDAL IT HAS MORE OF A "RAMP" RESPONSE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER'S SHOP MANAGER THAT THE NIPPONDENSO MADE PEDAL MECHANISM DOES NOT NEED THE SPACER OR THE FLOOR MAT MODIFICATION EITHER. I AM SURPRISED THAT TWO VENDORS MAKING THE SAME PART FOR THE SAME MANUFACTURER TO THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS AND DRAWINGS HAVE PRODUCTS THAT ARE SO VASTLY DIFFERENT. THE ONLY THING COMMON BETWEEN THE PEDAL MECHANISMS FROM THE TWO VENDORS IS ITS MOUNTING ON THE FLOOR BOARD. WHERE IS TOYOTA'S QUALITY CONTROL? IN MY OPINION THERE IS A STRONG CO-RELATION BETWEEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION COMPLAINTS AND THE US MADE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DESIGN AND ITS SHARP "STEP" RESPONSE. LET ALL THOSE WHO HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION INSIST ON REPLACING THE PEDAL MECHANISM MADE BY NIPPONDENSO. NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THE VARIATIONS IN THE DESIGN FROM THE TWO VENDORS AND QUESTION AS TO WHY TOYOTA HAS PERMITTED THE VENDORS TO DESIGN THE MECHANISMS RATHER THAN JUST BUILD IT TO TOYOTA'S SPECIFICATIONS. *TR

THE GENTLEMAN-REPRESENTED TOYOTA CLAIMED HE IS THE REGION DISTRICT MANAGER, HAVE NO BUSINESS CARD AND REFUSED TO ANSWER SAFETY QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT. HE WAS SPENDING MOST OF THE HEARING TIME ON HIS BLACKBERRY, THE ARBITRATOR FROM NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT NEVER COMMENTED ON TOYOTA'S REPRESENTATIVE BEHAVIORS. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A DECISION, WHICH MOST LIKELY TO BE IN TOYOTA'S FAVOR AS THE NCDS LACKED THE TRANSPARENCY IN CONDUCTING THAT HEARING. ARE THERE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS I SHOULD TAKE TO EXIT MY LEASE AND GET A COMPLETE REFUND, AS I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLE. *DT

MY 2010 CAMRY HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES. KNOW ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ACCELERATION SURGE I'M EXPERIENCING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY. THEY SENT ME TO DIFFERENT DEALER. DEALER HAD IT FOR A DAY AND SAID THE SAME THING "CAN'T DUPLICATE" I THINK THEY HAVE ALL BEEN SCHOOLED TO SAY THIS. I HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER RIDE WITH ME AND TOLD HIM TO WATCH THE RPM DIAL WHEN I GO TO STOP. HE SAW THE RPM DIAL MOVE UP TO ALMOST 2000 WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE. HE HAD ME DRIVE ANOTHER 2010 CAMRY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I HAD A 98 AVALON AND A 03 CAMRY THAT DID NOT DO THIS. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS THE WAY THESE NEW CARS DOWN SIFT AND IT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE OLDER TOYOTA'S. HE ASSURED ME THAT MY CAR IS SAFE AND I HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AFTER READING ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE I'M NOT 100% SOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL DOWN SIFTING. I THINK I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS TO ARBITRATION. I HATE TO DO THIS BECAUSE I LOVE MY NEW CAR...I'M JUST REALLY NERVOUS DRIVING IT. *TR

WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK PLACE I WAS TRYING TO PULL AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE REVVED OUT OF CONTROL.

I PRESSED AND HELD DOWN ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO PULL FORWARD, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WAS AT REDLINE FOR ABOUT 10 MORE SECONDS THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. AT NO TIME DID I FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR, IT WAS NOT STUCK. I STEPPED DOWN ON THE GAS JUST A BIT TO CLEAR THE SNOW PATCH AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. I AM LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC, AND I KNEW ENOUGH TO HOLD DOWN FIRM ON THE BRAKE, OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS WORRIED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE AIRCONDITION/HEATING BOARD STOPPED WORKING SO I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INSTEAD. I TOOK IT IN. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AWAY, EXPLAINED THE 'ELECTRICAL PROBLEM', AND STATED THAT THE HEAVING FEELING I WAS SENSING WAS THAT THE CAR WAS COMPUTERIZED AND THAT IT TOOK TIME FOR THE ACCELERATOR TO CATCH UP WITH THE SIGNAL THE COMPUTER WAS GIVING IT, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HE RAN AN ENGINE CHECK AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ON MY SERVICE SHEET HE SIMPLY STATED THAT I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR HESITATING (WHICH I DID NOT), BUT DID NOT DOCUMENT THAT I BROUGHT THE CAR IN COMPLAINING THAT IT HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. A WEEK LATER THERE WAS THE RECALL. WHEN I LATER CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL AND CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM, THE SERVICEMAN ( A DIFFERENT ONE) TOLD ME THAT I WOULD FEEL NO CHANGE IN THE WAY THE WAY THE CAR DROVE SO HE WOULD HAVE SOMEONE RIDE WITH ME TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THE DAY BEFORE TAKING THE CAR IN FOR THE FIX, THE CAR SLIGHTLY ACCELERATED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO COME TO A STOP. AFTER THE FIX, A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE RODE WITH ME (I LET HIM DRIVE), BUT THE CAR DID APPEAR TO RIDE BETTER AFTER THE FIX. THE CAR DOES STILL FEEL BETTER THAN WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT BUT SEEMS TO BE GRADUALLY GETTING WORSE SINCE THE FIX, E.G. THE CAR OCCASIONALLY SLIGHTLY ACCELERATES WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP. *TR

PROBLEM: 2010 TOYOTA 4 DR CAMRY: I AM 81 YEARS OLD. AFTER CHECKING WITH THE NEW JERSEY DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE THIS CAR 51/2 MONTHS AGO, I WAS TOLD MY VIN # WAS OK FOR NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PEDAL STICKING, BUT I SHOULD GO IN FOR THE MAT/GAS PEDALPROBLEM. I DID & WAS TOLD IT WAS DONE. ON 2/16, I WAS PULLING INTO A SPOT AT CVS. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL AND STARTED TO PUT THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY FLEW UP FORWARD OVER THE CEMENT CURB AND INTO THE DIRT AND BUSHES WHICH, THANK GOD STOPPED THE CAR. I WILL NEVER GET BACK INTO MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AGAIN. THEY HAULED THE CAR TO THEIR DEALERSHIP AND GOT ME A HONDA RENTAL. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GENERAL MGR.. HE TOLD ME SO FAR THEY HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING IN THE CAR. I TOLD HIM I WOULD NEVER DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN AND MY SONS HAD TOLD ME NO MATTER WHAT THESE PEOPLE SAID I WAS NOT TO DRIVE IT. I EXPLAINED ALONG WITH NEVER BEING ABLE TO DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN I WOULD NOT NOW PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA. HE TOLD ME THEY COULD GIVE ME $17,000. REFUND LEAVING ME TO EAT $10,916. ON A CAR I HAVE HAD FOR 5 MONTHS AND HAD ONLY 2,091 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD TO TALK TO SOMEONE AT THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE IN CA AND THEY OFFERED ME NOTHING BUT A SLICK ?YOUR WORD AGAINST MINE? NOTHING HELP. I COULD SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL I WENT OUT THE NEXT DAY, BOUGHT A FORD FUSION AND DROVE AWAY IN MY NEW CAR. I AM CONTACTING YOU NOT ONLY BECAUSE TOYOTA DID NOT TRY TO ASSIST ME WITH MY PROBLEM, BUT ALSO I HAVE BEEN HAVING NIGHTMARES ABOUT THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE TOLD THEIR VIN # HAD NO GAS PEDAL PROBLEM AS I HAD BEEN TOLD AND MAY FIND OUT THAT IS NOT TRUE - AS I DID. *TR

ON 2/12/10 MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY RECEIVED AN ACCELERATION FIX. IN ADDITION I WAS INFORMED A FAIL-SAFE COMPUTER PROGRAM WAS PUT IN. ON 2/17/10 AS I WAS ENTERING MY PARKING SLOT, THE CAR DID AN UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE. I JAMMED BOTH FEET INTO THE BREAK. AFTER 3 SECONDS, AS MY CAR WAS CLIMBING UP A SNOW BANK, IT STOPPED. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING WHILE MY GEAR SHIFT WAS IN DRIVE. THIS IS THE SECOND LEVEL ON THE FAIL-SAFE SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT: "IF BOTH ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSORS FAIL, OR IF ONE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR FAILS, THE ECM WILL...RETURN THE ENGINE TO IDLE SPEED. HAD THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ONE MINUTE EARLIER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A HIGH CAR/PEDESTRIAN AREA AND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE WHOLE EVENT TOOK 5-6 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE FIX DONE BY TOYOTA IS NOT THE FIX FOR THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. UPDATED 03/08/10 *BF *TR UPDATED 07/01/10.*JB

I AM REQUESTING THAT DOT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE DRIVER'S CONTRIBUTION TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION (UA) AND TOYOTA'S ACCELERATOR/BRAKE PEDAL DESIGNS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE. I WAS DRIVING A RENTED TOYOTA CAMRY IN A PARKING LOT. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO GAIN SPEED. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE AND IT ACCELERATED. THE HARDER I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR THE FASTER IT WENT. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE FOR A MOMENT AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. I BELIEVE THAT MY FOOT WAS ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDALS. I MEASURED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR AND FOUND THAT IT WAS ONLY 1.5 INCHES. MY VEHICLE A GM ACADIA IS 2.5 INCHES. THIS MADE ME THINK THAT THE TOPS OF THE TWO PEDALS ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. I MANAGED TO FIND 6 DIFFERENT TOYOTA MODELS INCLUDING THE PRIUS AND THEY AVERAGED 1.5 INCHES BETWEEN THE TOPS OF THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDALS. I MEASURE COMPETITIVE VEHICLES AND FOUND THEY AVERAGED 2.2 INCHES. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TOYOTA DESIGNS ' THEY ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. I HAVE CONTINUED TO INVESTIGATE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND HAVE COLLECTED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DATA THAT SUPPORTS THE FACT THAT THE DRIVER IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF UA AND THAT SOME VEHICLE DESIGNS MAKE IT POSSIBLE. I HAVE CONDUCTED DRIVING TESTS AND SIMULATED THE CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE UA. THEY CLEARLY IDENTIFY THAT TOYOTA PEDAL DESIGNS CONTRIBUTE TO THE DRIVER BEING A CAUSE OF UA. GOOD VEHICLE PEDAL DESIGNS MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SIMULTANEOUSLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY DEPRESS BOTH PEDALS. FROM THE ODI INCIDENT REPORTS GM VEHICLES SEEM TO BE PARTICULARLY INSENSITIVE WHILE THE FORD 150 TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE PEDAL DESIGNS OR OPERATION THAT MAKES THIS POSSIBLE. I HAVE READ TWO OLDER DOT REPORTS CONCERNING UA AND THEY INDICATE THAT THE DRIVER IS A CAUSE OF UA. WHY IS THAT NOT STUDIED AND ACKNOWLEDGED NOW? PLEASE FORMALLY INVESTIGATE. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH HAS THE DEFECTS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION INVOLVING OUT-OF-CONTROL ACCELERATION OF THE CAR. THIS CAR PRESENTS A SERIOUS POTENTIAL HAZARD TO MYSELF AND TO OTHERS AND I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE SEVERELY DEALT WITH FOR PUTTING THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR AHEAD OF PROVIDING A SAFE CAR THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS COULD TRUST - AND FOR THEIR DECEPTION IN ATTEMPTING TO HIDE, COVER UP, DISMISS THE PROBLEMS AND NOT DEAL WITH LEGITIMATE COMPLAINTS WELL BEFORE THIS TIME. TOYOTA'S ACTIONS AND LACK OF ACTION HAS PUT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AT RISK TO THE POINT OF CAUSING MULTIPLE DEATHS AND INJURIES ON OUR HIGHWAYS AND ROADS. A ONCE TRUSTED AUTOMOBILE COMPANY HAS ABANDONED THE PRINCIPLES THEY MUST ADHERE TO IN BUILDING AN AUTOMOBILE - FIRST AND FOREMOST, PROVIDING AN AUTOMOBILE THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY HAVE THUS ABANDONED THE CUSTOMER, CAUSING NOT ONLY DEATH BUT IMMENSE DISTRESS AMONG MILLIONS OF CAR OWNERS WHO CAN NO LONGER TRUST THE CAR THEY PURCHASED - AT GREAT EXPENSE - AND NOW SEE ITS VALUE SINKING RAPIDLY. MY CAMRY HAS LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT. I EXPECT AND DESERVE FAIR COMPENSATION FOR THE TRUST AND MONEY THAT I PUT INTO THIS COMPANY FOR A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WANT MY MONEY BACK! NOW. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY IN OCT-2009 AND I REALIZED AFTER 2-3 WEEKS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN THERE. THE RPM GOES HIGH (AND TRIES TO STAY THERE) WHEN DOWN-SHIFTING EVEN WITHOUT THE LEG IS OFF THE GAS PADDLE. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT DOWNSHIFTING MAY INCREASE RPM BUT THEN I FEEL LIKE IT WANTS TO STAY THERE BY MEANS OF SOME UN-INTENDED ACCELERATION. WHEN I REALIZED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, I JUST IGNORED THE ISSUE BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND LET THEM MESS IT UP FURTHER. I THOUGHT THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE IT IS A NEW CAR. AFTER FEW MILES DRIVEN, THE ISSUE WILL GO AWAY. BUT WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT THE UN-INTENDED ACCELERATION IN JANUARY 2010, I REALIZED THAT THE ISSUE IS MORE SERIOUS AND I SHOULD NOT IGNORE ANY MORE. I WENT TO DEALER BUT AS I EXPECTED, THEY DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR RUNS AS PER DESIGN. I WENT FOR THE RECALL TOO BUT IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. BEING AN ENGINEER, I MYSELF HAVE ESTABLISHED FEW SIMPLE TEST CASES WHERE ONE CAN PROVE THAT THERE IS DEFINATELY SOMETHING WRONG IN THE CAR. AND IF THE CAR RUNS AS PER DESIGN, THEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE DESIGN ITSELF. I KNEW IN ADVANCE THAT TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT GOING TO WORK. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE SO THAT I CAN KEEP ON DRIVING IT NICELY FOR YEARS TO COME BUT I NEVE EXPECT IT TO BE GOING TO GARAGE FOR SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS! I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SATISFACTORY ANSWER/SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM SO FAR.

IN AUGUST 2009 I PURCHASED A 4-CYLINDER AUTOMATIC 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING DELIVERY I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HESITATED WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF GAS AND IT WILL STALL. IT TAKES A NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO RESPOND TO THE DEMAND FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPON CONTACTING THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT ACCELERATION WILL SMOOTH OUT AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS. HOWEVER, SEVEN MONTHS LATER THE HESITATION IS STILL THERE. FROM POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH CAMRY WHICH TOYOTA HAS KNOWN FOR MANY YEARS BUT INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM THE COMPANY HAS TRIED TO ADDRESS IT THROUGH TSBS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, EG056-06 AND EG036-07. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH 2010 CAMRY AND EXPERIENCE OF MANY OTHER 2010 CAMRY OWNERS POSTED ON THE WEB IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO EXIST. IN ADDITION TO BEING A DESIGN FLAW IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT REACT NORMALLY WHEN THE DRIVER PRESSES THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR GETTING ON A HIGHWAY. CAR'S HESITATION BEFORE PICKING UP SPEED CAN LEAD DRIVER TO MISJUDGE THE TIME NEEDED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. REGRETFULLY THIS IS JUST ONE OTHER SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAS OPTED TO IGNORE. IT MAYBE WORTHWHILE TO NOTE THAT THIS ACCELERATION HESITATION PROBLEM IS TIED TO THE SAME ELECTRONIC MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE SPEED OF THE CAR AND ACCORDING TO MANY EXPERTS MAYBE THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF CAMRY'S SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT RELATES TO OUR CLAIM OF UNRESOLVED WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUES, (IE, UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION), ASSOCIATED WITH OUR 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY PURCHASED AT CAIN TOYOTA IN NORTH CANTON OHIO ON 7/30/09. BELIEVING THAT TOYOTA HAS INACCURATELY ASSIGNED THE CAUSE OF THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION & RESULTANT DEATHS & INJURIES, (NAMELY FAULTY FLOOR MATS AND/OR A STICKING GAS PEDAL SHAFT) WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN OUR 2010 CAMRY FOR MONTHS AS INDICATED BY THE CURRENT 1073 MILES RECORDED ON THE ODOMETER. WE BELIEVE THAT EITHER UNINTENTIONALLY OR BY MANAGEMENT DIRECTIVE TOYOTA IS MISIDENTIFYING THE CAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS TOYOTA ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. THIS AVOIDANCE TACTIC IS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT ADOPTED BY FORD/FIRESTONE IN THE NUMEROUS YEAR 2000 EXPLORER ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS WHICH ALSO RESULTED IN DEATH AND INJURIES. AFTER FIRST DENYING ANY WRONG-DOING,FORD,(NOT FIRESTONE), ADMITTED TO THE SAFETY HAZARD SUCH THAT WE WERE COMPENSATED BY FORD FOR BOTH OUR 1993 & 2000 EXPLORERS. WITHOUT DOUBT THE EXTENSIVE INVOLVEMENT OF THE NHTSA IN THE EXPLORER ACCIDENTS AND RELATED SAFETY ISSUES WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MOTIVATING FORD MANAGEMENT INTO DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR EXPLORER OWNERS. (I KNOW, BECAUSE WE POSSESSED TWO EXPLORERS THAT BENEFITED FROM FORD'S CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY. AT THIS TIME WITH TOYOTA WE BELIEVE THAT THE SAFETY HAZARD(S) ARE FAR MORE SERIOUS AND THE TOYOTA "DENIAL STAGE" IS FAR MORE ENTRENCHED IN THE MINDS OF TOYOTA MANAGEMENT POSSIBLY DUE TO THEIR LONG RECORD OF EXCELLENT SAFETY. HOWEVER, JUST ONE ACCOUNT OF THE 4 DEATHS ON 8/28/09 IN CALIFORNIA WHEN AN OFF-DUTY HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER, EXPERIENCED WITH MANY TYPES OF VEHICLES, DROVE FOR SOME 5 MILES AT SPEEDS OF 120MPH WAS SUBJECT TO UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION IN HIS LEXUS "LOANER". TOYOTA'S LOGIC IN BLAMING THE FLOOR MATS REFLECTS TECHNICAL INCOMPETENCE AT BEST AND OUT-OF-CONTROL STUPIDITY AT THE WORST. WE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT TOYOTA'S SAFETY RECORD HAS BEEN EXCELLENT IN THE PAST BUT EVEN THE DEITY HAS MADE MISTAKES!!!! *TR

SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, I SAW ISSUES WITH THE WAY THE CAR TRANSMISSION WORKED AT SPEEDS FROM 0-50MPH. STARTING FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF MY USING THE CAR, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES, ONLY TO BE SENT BACK AFTER A "TEST DRIVE" SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG. IN MY OWN LANGUAGE, I HAD BEEN EXPLAINING THE ISSUE WHICH NOW LOOKS EXACTLY SIMILAR TO THE 'STICKING GAS PEDAL" RECALL RECENTLY INFORMED BY TOYOTA. MY CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING WHILE BRAKING, OR WOULD START BRAKING WHEN MY FOOT IS OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I ALSO USED TO FEEL A JERK WHEN THE CAR MOVED BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 0-50MPH. I COMMUTE 70 MILES DAILY TO WORK AND I HAVE NOTICED THIS DAILY TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE STARTED IGNORING OUT OF DEEP FRUSTRATION. THE DEALER TEST DRIVES AND CAUSES EMBARRASSMENT SAYING THEY CANNOT RECREATE MY ISSUE. I LOGGED AN INCIDENT WITH TOYOTA (091214-000053). IT LED TO MY FOURTH VISIT TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME ANSWER. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE FROM A CASE MANAGER WAS THAT IF THEY CANNOT RECREATE THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I ALMOST FEEL THIS IS A HOPELESS CASE AS I DON'T THINK NEITHER TOYOTA NOR THE DEALERSHIP WERE TRULY SERIOUS ABOUT ASSISTING ME. THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE SOME POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON. I REOPENED A NEW CASE (100130-000604). SO FAR I HAVE RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. I DON'T THINK THEY ARE HANDLING THIS THE RIGHT WAY. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR INCIDENTS, BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN TO GET THE ATTENTION OF TOYOTA OR ITS DEALER. THIS IS NOT A SMART WAY OF SOLVING AN ISSUE.

WHEN I ASKED THEM WHERE THE "SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION" (A PROBLEM TOYOTA EARLIER IN THE DAY TOLD ME THEY WERE HAVING) WOULD HAVE APPEARED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC, THEY WERE AT A LOSS. LET ME BE VERY CLEAR THAT THERE WAS NOT A FLOOR MAT IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE "SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION" WAS CAUSED BY THE "MAT ISSUE." I KNOW MY EXPERIENCE WAS REAL AND NOT CAUSED BY DRIVER ERROR. I FEEL THE PROBLEM IS ELSEWHERE AND EXACERBATED FOR SOME DRIVERS BECAUSE THEY HAD THE FLOOR MATS IN PLACE. PLEASE PRESS TOYOTA TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ISSUE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I BOUGHT FOR SAFETY REASONS IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR THANK YOU.
