2011 TOYOTA CAMRY Vehicle Speed Control Problems

The car accelerated uncontrollably for no apparent reason. I was pulling into a parking slot, preparing to put the car in park and stop the car. All of a sudden the car accelerated and slammed into a building.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while his sister was driving the vehicle, while at a stop light, the engine continued to rev with the RPMs increasing. The brake pedal was being pressed during the failure. The vehicle then experienced unintended acceleration and drove into the intersection. The contact stated that the failure had occurred later the same day for a second time. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 175,800.

Mileage: 175,800

If vehicle is in drive with engine running on a hill and rolls back a significant distance while in gear engine may shut off leading to a loss in power steering and brake control once booster looses reserve. also delays ability to move vehicle increasing risk for accident that could be avoided. am able to duplicate concern reliably.

Upon backing up out of a parking space, the car was put in drive and accelerated excessively. It accelerated and didnt allow actions to control the vehicle. The airbags were deployed so we assumed it accelerated to at least 35 mph. The vehicle slammed into a brick wall. The driver was injured upon impact suffering seven fractured ribs, a broken sternum and severe lacerations and bruising from the knees down. The vehicle has been inspected by the material damage adjuster of the insurance company. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer to date. There were on warnings prior to the accident.

THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE FOLLOWING A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT. I EXITED MY COMMUNITY, BY MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A COUNTY ROAD. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY, AND THE ROAD WAS DAMP DUR TO RECENT RAIN. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT ON A COUNTY ROAD (A TOTAL OF 2 LANES), UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THE BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE REAR END OF THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION TO ENSURE I STAYED IN MY LANE. THE REAR END OF THE CAR STARTED SLIDING TO THE RIGHT SIDE WITHIN MY LANE AND CONTINUED TO SLIDE/DRIFT. AS THE CAR CONTINUED SLIDING THE RIGHT, IT WENT OUTSIDE MY LANE, HIT THE DIRT "SHOULDER", AND HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO SWING TO THE LEFT. WHEN THE CAR HIT THE ROCKS, I FELT MY BODY LIFTED FROM MY SIT, BUT THE SEAT BELT HELD IT BACK. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR, WHICH WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD AT THIS POINT IN THE EVENT. THE CAR WAS HEADED TOWARDS A SMALL RAVINE LOCATED BEHIND THREE TREES. I STEERED THE CAR TO HIT THE TREE INSTEAD OF RUNNING INTO A SMALL RAVINE.

ABS/ESP SYSTEM FAILURE & RANDOM ENGINE REVVING BEFORE WRECK THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND CRASH INTO A TREE. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH (BY ROUGHLY 1 MPH). I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN, BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. AS SOON AS THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE LEFT, IT HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS THAT SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM AND I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER SLIGHTLY, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR. AS THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT INTO A TREE, RATHER THAN THE SMALL RAVINE IN FONT OF IT AND RISK MY LIFE. THE ALABAMA STATE TROOPER WHO CAME AND TRIED TO ASSIST ME WAS VERY UNFRIENDLY AND APPEARED TO HAVE A UNCOOPERATIVE ATTITUDE. THE ADRENALINE RUSH TOOK OVER ME, CAUSING ME TO JUMP UP AND DOWN AND MAKE MY WALLET FALL OUT OF MY POCKET. IT FELL INTO A PILE OF LEAVES, WHICH WERE THE SAME COLOR OF THE WALLET (LIGHT LEATHER BROWN). LONG STORY SHORT, THE OFFICER GAVE ME A CITATION FOR NOT HAVING MY LICENSE WITH ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING, BUT I DID AND HE REFUSED TO TAKE AWAY THE CITATION. THE OFFICER ALSO SAID THAT HE WOULD WRITE ME UP FOR RECKLESS DRIVING, WHICH I WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULD DO THAT, IF THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP IN MY CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON A CITY STREET AT NIGHT AND SUDDENLY BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED. I TRIED DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY, BUT THE SPEED COULD NOT EXCEED 25 MPH. SO, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC OBD-II CODE WAS P2128. AS A RESULT THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS OPEN CIRCUIT 552011. THE COST WAS COVERED BY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I WOULD NOT BE HERE NOW TO REPORT IT. ALSO, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT TOYOTA HAD RESOLVED THIS ISSUE.

IN DECEMBER 2016 MY SISTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK. SHE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND PUMPED THE BREAK AND IT STOPPED, THEN HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AND SHE DID THE SAME THING THIS TIME PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR. LAST WEEK MY FATHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON A STRETCH OF OPEN HIGHWAY AND PUMPED THE BREAKS AND ACCELERATOR AND IT STOPPED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO FILED A REPORT WITH TOYOTA. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND RECOMMENDED GIVING THE CAR BACK TO MY 84 YEAR OLD FATHER AS IS. DAD SPENT AN ADDITIONAL 12,000 DOLLARS TO TRADE IT IN. TOYOTA TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY AND DID NOT EVEN OFFER A BREAK ON A TRADE IN. CONCERNED THE CAR WILL GO TO ANOTHER FAMILY THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AS MY DAD ( DRIVING STRAIGHT ON AN OPEN STRETCH OF HIGHWAY)

JULY 2016 I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM MY BANK ATM AT APPROX.2-5 MPH IN MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN THE CAR TOOK OFF. THE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THE CAR. I MISSED A CAR AND A VAN, WENT UP OVER THE PARKING BLOCK AND HIT A POLE. THAT STOPPED ME! I HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. SOMEHOW NO ONE GOT HURT. I HAD 3 BLOWN TIRES AND THE RIGHT SIDE WINDOW BROKEN OUT WITH DAMAGE TO THAT DOOR. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS PULLED FROM THE BODY. THE CAR HAS DAMAGE TO THE TIE ROD AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FRONT END ALIGNMENT WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE DONE. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM BUT IT'S BEEN OVER 10 DAYS AND SEVERAL PHONE CALLS WITH NO RESPONSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2011 CAMRY'S FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS, AFTER A DEATH? THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

WHENEVER I AM STOPPED AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD RAPIDLY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN MOTION--ONLY WHEN RESUMING TRAVEL AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR WHEN I FIRST GET INTO THE CAR AND BEGIN TRAVEL. I AM CONSCIOUS OF THIS AND REALLY TRY TO EASE DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT I STILL NOTICE A SUDDEN INCREASE IN SPEED, ONE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE IN OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED (I AM IN MY 60S AND HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MANY VEHICLES.) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR SAFETY REASONS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ALSO DON'T WANT TO CAUSE MY PASSENGERS OR MYSELF WHIPLASH OR DISCOMFORT WITH A SUDDEN START.

I WAS IN A SLOW LANE OF TRAFFIC GOING AROUND A MAIL CARRIER. SUDDENLY, MY CAR SPED UP, ON ITS' OWN. I HAD TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND MET ABOUT 4-5 CARS HEAD ON. THANK GOODNESS, THE CARS I WAS MEETING PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND LET ME ZOOM THRU. I PROBABLY TOOK ABOUT 20 TO 30 SECONDS FOR ME TO STOP. AS I STARTED AROUND THE OTHER CARS I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THEY MADE A SCREECHING SOUND BUT DID NOT STOP THE CAR. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST MY CAR WENT??? MY CAR LEFT NO SKID MARKS, I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD TO GO TO MY TOYOTA DEALER WHICH I DID A WEEK OR SO LATER AFTER READING DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER TOYOTA DRIVERS. THE SERVICE MAN SHOWED ME WHAT TO DO IN CASE THAT SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN, INDICATING TO ME THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2011 TOYOTA'S. *TR

AS I PULLED ON TO THE DRIVEWAY AT A FUNERAL HOME, MY CAR STARTED SPEEDING, CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL, AT WHICH THE AIR BAG POPPED OPEN, THE CAR BOUNCED OFF THE WALL, STARTED SPINNING IN CIRCLES, CRASHED OVER A CONCRETE BARRIER, AND STARTED SPINNING AGAIN AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR WHICH WAS TOTALED. I THOUGHT I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES & EVEN TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF WITH THE KEY. BUT AFTER THE CRASH PEOPLE ASKED ME IF I HAD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND I SAID I MUST HAVE, BUT COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW I COULD HAVE MISTAKEN ONE FOR THE OTHER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING SINCE 18 YEARS OF AGE, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW AND TOLD MY DOCTOR I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE AGAIN (4 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT) HE TOLD ME TO WAIT A MONTH OR TWO UNTIL I WAS FEELING BETTER FROM THE SEVERE SPRAIN TO MY NECK AND SHOULDER, AND BAD BRUISING OF MY BREAST ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY BROTHER IN FLORIDA TOLD ME ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH MY MODEL OF TOYOTA WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING.

NEW BRAKES WERE PUT ON MY CAR ON 11/23/13. A SHORT TIME LATER, I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. UPON DOING SO THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN AND WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BREAKS THEY WOULD NOT WORK. AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION, I MADE A SHARP RIGHT 90 DEGREE TURN TO AVOID GOING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE ROAD WAS NOT WET BUT IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. I RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE SITUATION AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN IF THE ROAD IS DRY ONCE IT RAINS, THE ROAD CAN STILL HAVE PARTICLES ON IT THAT CAUSE THE ABS TO KICK IN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. IN THE PAST MONTH, IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY FEW DAYS. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN LATE FEB. AND HE WENT OVER A VERY SMALL PILE OF LEAVES THAT WOULD NOT WARRANT THE ABS TO KICK IN. HE TOO WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A WRECK. CAR WENT BACK TO DEALER BUT DEALER CAN FIND WHAT WAS WRONG. THE ABS SEVERELY REACTS WHEN IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING SO. THE ABS IS ENGAGING WHEN IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING SO. IF ONE GOES OVER A ROAD THAT IS BARELY WET OR A SMALL PATCH OF DRIVE LEAVES, AS I DID THE OTHER NIGHT, THE ABS KICKS IN AND LOCKS UP THE CAR. WHEN I TOUCH ON THE BREAKS LIGHTLY COMING TO A STOP, THERE ARE NO BREAKS AND THEN THEY SUDDENLY GRAB REALLY HARD. BREAKS FEEL LIKE AIR IS IN THE LINE. THIS DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL THEY PUT NEW BREAKS IN MY CAR AT 30,000 MILES. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION IS WHINING, SHIFTING ROUGHLY AND NOT SHIFTING WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO.

2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HER FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BUCKED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF HER SON'S VEHICLE. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, INFORMED THE CONSUMER, MOST OF THE ACCIDENTS, WERE CAUSED MY THE FLOOR MATS. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD THICK MATS, THAT DID NOT GET CAUGHT UNDER THE GAS PEDAL.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A DIRT ROAD, GOING AROUND A CORNER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND WENT OFF THE ROAD AND SKIDDED ALONGSIDE THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 30 FT. THE VEHICLE THEN HIT A FEW SMALL STUMPS, STILL WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN, AND FINALLY SLAMMED INTO A LARGE TREE. THE IMPACT IN WHICH THE CAR HIT THE TREE WAS SO STRONG THAT THE BACK END OF THE CAR ROSE UP INTO THE AIR AND STAYED IN THAT VERTICAL POSITION. ONLY THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE STILL VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD AFTER THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE TREE AND STOPPED. IF THE TREE HADN'T BEEN HIT, THE CAR WOULD HAVE CONTINUED DOWN THE HILLSIDE INTO THE BOTTOM OF A RAVINE, ABOUT ANOTHER 40 FT. THE ENTIRE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WAS SHOVED ALMOST TO THE WINDSHIELD AND NOT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND HOOD WERE DESTROYED, THE BATTERY WAS CRUSHED AND LEAKING ACID EVERYWHERE AND WAS SITTING BEHIND THE FRONT TIRE AND THE HOOD WAS "V" SHAPED AND PUSHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS SO CLEARLY THE BRAKES WEREN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY EITHER, ALSO THE SPEED IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE TREE SHOWS THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS FAULTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN. THE DRIVERS FACE SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND BROKE HER NOSE AND RECEIVED A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY, ALONG WITH NUMEROUS BRUISES AND SCRATCHES. THE DAMAGE IS SO SEVERE THAT THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS BUT STILL WE ARE LEFT WONDERING WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. IF THE DRIVER HADN'T BEEN WEARING HER SEATBELT, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT TO SHOW JUST HOW SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS THIS IS. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANSWERS AS TO WHY A VEHICLE WITH SUCH HIGH CRASH TEST RATINGS WOULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SAFETY TO THE DRIVER. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL SCENARIOS BUT THE MOST RECENT WAS AS FOLLOWS: I WAS DRIVING IN MODERATELY HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A THREE LANE DIVIDED STREET WITH TRAFFIC SIGNALS. TRAFFIC WAS FLUCTUATING BETWEEN "STOP & GO" AND APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. AFTER A TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I BEGAN ACCELERATING AT A RELATIVELY RAPID PACE WHEN A VEHICLE CUT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND BRAKED. I IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT FELT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE FROM THE PEDAL AND THE CAR WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICED THAT AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AT A HIGH RATE FROM THE ACCELERATION ATTEMPT. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHEREBY IF THE ENGINE IS REVVING THE BRAKE WILL FAIL EVEN IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS NO LONGER BEING PRESSED. A VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL IS THAT EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS BEEN WITHIN THE FIRST FEW SECONDS OF A QUICK ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR A CRAWL.

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR (4 CYL., XLE) A YEAR AGO: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SOMETIMES SLOWLY AFTER A PAUSE OR UNEXPECTEDLY AND ABRUPTLY AS IT SEARCHES FOR GEARS, AND IT RACES INTERMITTENTLY, ESPECIALLY AT START-UP; IT COASTS A FEW INCHES AFTER I PUT IT INTO PARK, EVEN ON LEVEL GROUND. POWER STEERING REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION, EVEN ON LEVEL ROAD SURFACES. CRUISE CONTROL IS SLOW TO RESPOND TO ADJUSTMENTS FROM LEVER ON STEM. DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. CLAIMS, AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS TO DIAGNOSE, THAT THE CAR PERFORMS AS DESIGNED, SO MY COMPLAINT WILL NEED TO BE WITH THE DESIGN. *JS

I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM THE MALL IN POTTSVILLE, PA. I DROVE DOWN THE ROADWAY NEXT TO THE MALL TO THE STOP SIGN. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AT THAT TIME. I PROCEEDED TO TURN TO THE LEFT OUT THE DRIVEWAY OF THE MALL. THE DRIVEWAY OF THE MALL IS PRETTY LONG AND ON A STEEP HILL. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY MY BRAKES AT THE TOP OF THE HILL. THERE WAS PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. I DIDN'T WANT TO CONTINUE DOWN THE STEEP HILL KNOWING THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING AND CRASH INTO THE VAN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL SO I DECIDED TO TURN TO THE RIGHT SHARPLY ON A DRIVE THAT CURVED AROUND TO A NEIGHBORING STORE NEXT TO THE MALL (GOING ALMOST BACK UPHILL AT THIS TIME). STILL NO BRAKES SO I DECIDED TO HIT THE CURB TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND PREVENT HITTING ANY OTHER VEHICLE. WHAT IS EXTREMELY ODD IS THAT EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I TURNED SHARPLY AND GOING SLIGHTLY UPHILL THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HIT THE CURB TO STOP THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BACK OFF OF THE CURB. I PROCEEDED DOWN THE HILL AGAIN. STILL NO BRAKES. I COULD FEEL THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKES JUST DIDN'T WORK. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR TO THE RIGHT AND HIT THE CURB AGAIN NEXT TO THE LANE I WAS IN. SO WHEN THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AND THE LIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED DOWN THE HILL AND TURNED RIGHT ONTO RT 61 S. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED THE BRAKE AGAIN AND NOTHING. SO IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS OF COURSE CAUSED THE CAR TO SPIN BUT AT LEAST THE CAR STOPPED. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN USED THE CLUTCH LESS SHIFTING TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE CAR AND RETURNED HOME. TOYOTA HAS RETAINED AN INSPECTOR TO INSPECT THE CAR TODAY AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 2/27/12. *TR

AT LOW SPEED (15-39 MPH), THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ROUGHLY. THE CAR WAS EITHER PULLED BACK (1) BY THE ENGINE OR JUMPED (2,WHILE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL) DURING THE DOWN SHIFT. THE PULLING BACK (1) GIVES THE SAME EFFECT AS USING ENGINE BREAKING IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BASED ON THE SIGNS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON INTERSTATE, STATE LAWS (IN SOME STATES) PROHIBIT DRIVER TO USE ENGINE BREAKING. THE JUMPING (2) WAS VERY BAD. THE CAR NEEDED APPROXIMATELY 3-10 FEET MORE TO STOP DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABLE JUMPING BEHAVIOR. WELL 3-10 FEET DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A LOT BUT LET SAY IF YOU ARE 1 FOOT AWAY FROM RUNNING OVER A LIVING THING.......... THIS PROBLEM HAVE HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND THEY STILL BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 10-20 CARS (INCLUDING RENTALS) BUT I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THE JUMPING (2, WHILE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL) UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS CAMRY. AFTER READING THE REVIEWS ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTIONS. *TR

JUST 5 SECOND AFTER PULLING OUT FROM PARKING SPACE, WHILE GOING AROUND THE SCHOOL BUS AND TRYING TO AVOID THE CAR GOING TOWARD ME, PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CAR SPEED UP AT WHOLE POWER AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IT. IT FILED APPROXIMATELY 90 FEET REACHING SPEED AT LEAST 50 MPH IN APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECOND.

THERE WAS NO INJURY, BUILDING WERE DAMAGED JUST SLIGHTLY, MY CAR WAS DESTROYED , BUT IT HAS A FULL COVERAGE. THE WHOLE CRASH WAS TAPPED BY A SECURITY CAMERA.

ON 9 DEC 2010, I DROVE A RENTAL CAR, 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY (BLUE) FROM VIRGINIA BACK TO NEW JERSEY (NJ). THE CAR HAD 3316 MILES WHEN I RENT ON 8 DEC 2010 IN NJ.
