2010 TOYOTA COROLLA Vehicle Speed Control Problems

Was drive west down Gooding Ave in Bristol,R.I 02809 when my vehicle idle surged and car was going over 50mph with out my foot on the accelerator.. when trying to control the vehicle I couldn't even use the brakes stepping on the brake would not slow down the vehicle I ended up side swiping a vehicle at a traffic light and proceeded through the intersection through a fence onto a person's lawn Clearly this was a unintended acceleration issue

There have been multiple times where the car accelerates on it's own, suddenly. The latest was last evening. It usually happens when I'm just going to accelerate slighting (at a stop sign, or end of the driveway) where I give it just a little gas, and the car accelerates much more quickly than intended. I've looked for a recall, but cannot find one for this. Please advise.

SINCE OBTAINING THE VEHICLE IN 2009 BRAND NEW, UPON BREAKING GRADUALLY, IT SURGES FORWARD SLIGHTLY WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT SHOULD SLOW DOWN. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO DENIED ANY SUCH INCONSISTENCIES. ALSO, THERE HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL ISSUES FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS WHEN TURNING ON THE RADIO; AFTER PUSHING ANY BUTTON AT ANY TIME, IT WILL RANDOMLY CHANGE THE DISPLAY TO NONSENSE CHARACTERS OR BECOME BLANK.

CAR BOLTS WHEN PARKING, TAKING OFF BACK OR FORWARD, FROM DEAD START OR TAKING OFF FROM LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS ETC. HAS DONE THIS FOR YRS. NOW. SON DROVE CAR AND MENTIONED HOW AWFUL THAT WAS AND I NEVER MENTIONED IT TO HIM. FRIEND DID NOT BELIEVE ME AND TRIED IT FOR ONE BLOCK. SAID IT WAS DANGEROUS AND HORRIBLE. I AM SICK OF THIS HAPPENING AND NEED TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED. I AM A VERY PATIENT PERSON BUT THIS IS NOT GOOD. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.

WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE A JET ROCKET WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THE CAR SEEMS TO BE OUT OF CONTROL AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY ON HIGHWAY WHEN GOING ABOVE 50. FEELS VERY UNSAFE. THIS IS A USED CAR I BOUGHT. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET NAMED HAMNER THIS AFTERNOON ON A WARM DAY IN THE CITY OF NORCO WITH CLEAR SKIES TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH MY 2010 COROLLA DID NOT STOP AT A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 15 FEET WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THAT CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WHICH FELT LIKE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WHERE THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE BUT RATHER MADE A PULSATING MOVEMENT AGAINST MY ROTORS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO KEEP MOVING AND INEVITABLY I COULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT NUMEROUS DEALERS IN THE PAST YEARS AND I WAS GIVEN NO SOLUTIONS. THE EXPLANATION AFTER SHOWING THE TECHNICIANS WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. THIS BRAKE ISSUE CAUSED ME TO NOT HAVE BRAKING SYSTEM POWER TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP PRIOR TO THE COLLISION TODAY. I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA IS LIABLE FOR THE FAILURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE DAMAGE CREATED TODAY TO NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE BUT ALSO TO THE VEHICLE TO WHICH THIS ACCIDENT TODAY INVOLVED INCLUDING ANY KNOWN OR UNKNOWN INJURIES INCURRED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

RE: I HAVEN'T FOLLOWED UP ON RCMN-10V017-5275 AS I HADN'T NOTICED A PROBLEM LIVING IN AN AREA WITH LEVEL STREETS. HOWEVER, WHEN TRYING TO PARK OR LEAVE A PARKING SPACE ON AN INCLINE OR DECLINE IT IS A PROBLEM. WHEN MOVING IN OR OUT OF A PARKING, I NOTICED THAT MY GAS PEDAL IS VERY SENSITIVE. IT LURCHES MY CAR QUICKLY FORWARD. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MY PARKING TECHNIQUE. SOMEONE ELSE FAMILIAR WITH PARKING ON THESE STREETS IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR'S ACCELERATION. IS THIS ISSUE RELATED TO NEEDING A REMEDY TO THE ABOVE RECALL NOTICE. IF YES, CAN I GET THIS FIXED FOR FREE EVEN THOUGH MY NOTICE HAS EXPIRED? WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST.

CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE, I MADE A SPEED CHANGE USING THE STEERING COLUMN LEVER WHEN THE ENGINE WENT TO 6,000 RPM IN FULL ACCELERATION. MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 65 ON A RURAL ROAD PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR WITH NO CHANGE, THEN THE BRAKE WHICH CANCELLED THE UNCOMMANDED ACCELERATION.

DURING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE ON A NORMAL SURFACE STREET DURING MORNING COMMUTE THROUGH CITY STREETS FOLLOWING TRAFFIC AT SPEEDS NOT EXCEEDING 35 MPH THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO HAVE ACCELERATED (SPED UP) DURING THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE STRUCK WAS NOT VISIBLE DUE TO THE SLOW SPEED, BUT IT DID CAUSE MINOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION. DURING THE EVENT THE DRIVER PERCEIVED ACCELERATION AT THE TIME OF THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES AND THE SOUND ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANTI-LOCK FEATURES BEING ENGAGED. AT THE END OF THE INCIDENT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE THE REACTION OF THE VEHICLE WAS OPPOSITE OF THE DRIVER COMMAND. THE VEHICLE IS PART OF THE TOYOTA SMART STOP COMPANY RECALL, BUT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NOT DONE SINCE IT IS CONSIDERED OPTIONAL FOR THE OWNER TO DO. BASED ON THE REASONS FOR THE RECALL IT IS CONCERNING THAT THE CONDITION IT IS ADDRESSING MAY HAVE OCCURRED. BECAUSE THIS REPORT IS BASED ON DRIVER PERCEPTION I ONLY REQUEST THAT THE SMART STOP RECALL BE ADDRESSED AND POSSIBLY MANDATED TO ENSURE THAT THE ISSUE IS FROM THE SOFTWARE THAT OWNERS WILL TAKE THE TIME TO HAVE IT ACCOMPLISHED.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, WHOSE VIN NUMBER IS: [XXX]. THAT CAR HAD A LOW MILEAGE WHEN I BROUGHT TO GERMAIN TOYOTA IN NAPLES, FLORIDA, TO FIX ANY PROBLEM AT THAT TIME THAT HAD CAUSED THE "ENGINE LIGHT" TO APPEAR ON THE DASH. I WAS TOLD THAT THE "GAS CAP" WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE IT; I FOLLOWED THEIR RECOMMENDATION. BUT, ONE DAY AFTER THE SAME LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN. DISAPPEAR; THEREFORE, I DECIDED NOT TO COME BACK FOR THAT SAME THING. RECENTLY, IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT BOTH IN LOCAL AND HIGHWAY 75 WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SIGN THAT SUCH THING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN: ?THE GAS PEDAL JUST GOES TO ZERO, THAT MEANS THE PRESSURE WENT QUICKLY AND SUDDENLY TO NO PRESSURE, AND THREE LIGHTS ARE SHOWN ON THE DASH.? THANK GOD, I AM STILL ALIVE! I TOOK THE CAR TO GERMAIN TOYOTA, THEY HAD URGED ME TO REPLACE THE "BATTERY," WHICH I DID. THE PROBLEM RESURFACED THE DAY AFTER. THE SECOND TIME, THEY ASKED ME TO REPLACE THE "ECU," WHICH I DID. THAT COST ME MORE THAN $800, CLOSE TO $900. THE THREE LIGHTS REAPPEARED AFTER TWO DAYS. I CAME BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO GERMAIN TOYOTA, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. LAST WEEK, THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM FOR THE SAME LIGHTS, AND THEY TOLD ME TO REPLACE AGAIN THE "GAS CAP," I PAID ANOTHER MONEY, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GO ON AND ON AND PERSIST EVERY WEEK. THE DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THAT IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT. THOSE THINGS HAPPENED BOTH IN STREETS AND HIGHWAY I-75. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE, AND I DO NOT WANT TO SELL IT TO PLACE SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE IN PERIL. THEREFORE, I ASK YOUR DEPARTMENT FOR HELP. I CANNOT KEEP ON SPENDING ALMOST EVERY WEEK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AT APPROX 11:30 PM ON JULY 15TH 2016, MY FIANC, MYSELF AND 2 OF OUR FRIENDS WERE HEADING HOME FROM DOWNTOWN MIAMI ON I-95. IT WAS RAINING EXTREMELY HARD, SO EVERYONE WAS GOING WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I WOULD APPROX WE WERE GOING 35-40 MPH. THE CAR IN FRONT OF US SLAMMED ON HIS BREAKS DUE TO THE RAIN COMING DOWN EXTREMELY HARD, AND I PROCEEDED TO DO THE SAME. HOWEVER INSTEAD OF MY CAR BREAKING, IT BEGAN ACCELERATING 10-15MPH. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS TO MY RIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO VEER OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, OR ELSE WE WOULD OF BEEN IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DEAD. AS EXPECTED, MY FIANC IS EXTREMELY SHOOKEN UP BY WHAT HAPPENED. I KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2010 COROLLA AND I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR ALL THE RECALLS AND INSPECTIONS BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING STILL WRONG WITH THE 2010 COROLLAS BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED TONIGHT DIE TO UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, MY CAR WILL REV UP. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M GOING DOWN HILL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT MY CAR WILL MAKE A 2-3 SECOND RATTLING NOISE UPON STARTING UP. IT ONLY MAKES THIS NOISE ONCE IN A WHILE AND IT IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ANOTHER ISSUE I'M HAVING IS THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACK LIGHT AND VSC OFF LIGHT COMING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY ON ANY RAINY DAY AND STAYING ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER IT HAS STOPPED RAINING. I AVOID DRIVING AT FAST SPEEDS WHEN ITS RAINY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE CAR IS VERY UNSTABLE. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WONT OPEN OR CLOSE AND VERY COLD DAYS AND OTHER DAYS IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND IT HAS ABOUT 79K MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING ON ROUTE 30 EAST IN PA, I EXPERIENCED A SCENARIO WHERE I WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT IT'S SPEED AND SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS OF THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW THE CAR. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT SLOWING THE CAR ENOUGH. I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND GRASS BEYOND THAT IN ORDER TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN ENOUGH TO LET OTHER CARS PASS SO I COULD GO INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE NEXT BUSINESS I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND AFTER DRIVING 7 MILES AND LOOKING FOR ERROR CODES, REPORTED THAT THEY "COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE". MY CAR ALREADY HAD ALL THE FIXES FOR THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR DONE IN DECEMBER 2013. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY TOYOTA BECAUSE IF THE REPORTED FIXES DO NOT WORK, THEN THERE COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS/FATALITIES YET TO COME.

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD

MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 CAR HAS MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN I DROVE AT ABOUT 35MPH ON CITY STREET AND HIT BRAKE PEDAL, ENGINE SUDDENLY ROARED TO 8000RPM. I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH FULLY, TURNED OFF ENGINE, HIT HARD THE BRAKE PEDAL,TURNED LEFT TO MEDIAN; THE CAR HIT HARD THE MEDIAN CURB AND STOPPED PARTLY IN LEFT LANE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS ON PEDALS AND TURNED ON ENGINE, IT STILL ROARED IN THE FIRST SEVERAL TRIES. THE CAR EVENTUALLY WORKED NORMALLY AFTER 10 MINUTES AND NO INJURY HAPPENED. I NEVER LET THE ENGINE RUN OVER 5000RPM EVEN WHEN I TESTED THE CAR AND ENGINE; MY MAXIMAL RUNNING RPM IS ABOUT 3000. THIS 8000RPM SHOULD NOT BE FROM MY OPERATION. I WAS NOT CONVINCED ON 'STICK PEDAL" OR "FLOOR MAT" CAUSE FOR THIS CASE. THE SEQUENCE "TURNED OFF ENGINE, BRAKED" MIGHT BE GOOD TO "BRAKED TO STOP AND TURNED OFF ENGINE" BECAUSE IT IS TOO HARD TO BRAKE WITH ENGINE OFF. BUT, WHEN YOU HEAR THE SCARY 8000RPM ROARING ENGINE, THE FIRST REACTION IS TURN IT OFF. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH. MY EXIT WAS COMING UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE SO I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. HOWEVER THE BRAKE STUCK AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN, IT KEPT GOING. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND USUALLY IF I BRAKE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING IT OFF IT SLOWS DOWN, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SO I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. MY CAR KEPT GOING. I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE, BUT THAT MADE THE CAR ACCELERATE EVEN MORE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE PEDAL WASN'T STUCK, IT WASN'T, BUT I KNEW THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ACCELERATING WHEN I WAS HITTING THE BRAKE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I WAS GOING OVER 110MPH. I SPED AT THIS SPEED FOR QUITE A WAYS MAYBE 3/4 OF A MILE. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE AND HAD MY PHONE IN MY HAD TO CALL 911. I KEPT PUSHING ON THE BRAKE SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO (THIS OF COURSE MADE ME GO FASTER AND FASTER). THE BRAKE WOULDN'T GO DOWN THOUGH. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING. IT WAS LIKE STUCK? FINALLY I HEARD MY ACCELERATE POP. AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. *TR

ON MONDAY JULY 29,2013 WHILE I WAS SET ON 70 MPH CRUISE CONTROL, MY TOYOTA COROLLA SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST IT MADE THE CAR GO ,BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN ANYTHING GOING THAT FAST. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE GRASS MEDIAN TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP MY CAR. WE STILL FLEW DOWN THE GRASS MEDIAN LIKE A SPEED BOAT HITTING WAVES, WE WERE BOUNCING, THE CAR WAS BOUNCING, I HAD SEVERE CRAMPS AND STABBING ACROSS MY LOWER KIDNEY AREA WHEN WE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I HAD TO HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE ETERNITY. BEFORE IT FINALLY STOPPED. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT IN GREAT DETAIL TO TOYOTA CORPORATE AND MY CASE WAS #1307291802.(THIS CASE # IS NO LONGER VALID) I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME IF I FELT SAFE, I COULD TAKE IT TO MY DEALER IN D.M.,IOWA WHERE I LEASED THE CAR IN 2010, OR IF I FELT UNSAFE, I COULD TAKE IT TO ADAMS TOYOTA IN LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI. THEN, MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW CALLED ADAMS ON MY BEHALF AND THEY GAVE HER AN ENTIRELY NEW CASE NUMBER BECAUSE THE FIRST REP WHO TOOK THE REPORT DID NOT UNDERSTAND THERE WAS DAMAGE .MY NEW CASE # IS 1308011967. I FELT I NEVER WANT TO BE IN THAT COROLLA AGAIN, SO I DID TAKE IT TO ADAMS AND THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A SCION RENTAL TO GET BACK TO HOME AND WORK IN IOWA. TOYOTA HAS INSPECTED THE CAR AND HAS UP TO 30 DAYS TO GIVE ME THEIR REPORT. I AM TO RECEIVE A COPY OF THE DATA IMAGING EXTRACTED FROM THE BLACK BOX ALSO.

I WAS DRIVING A RENTAL 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN SIESTA KEY, FL. I CAME TO A STOP ON A BUSY DOWNTOWN STREET ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. AS I SAT AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS PEDESTRIANS WERE CROSSING, THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED FORWARD. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL & AS THIS HAPPENED, I HELD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING THE PEDESTRIANS. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO HOLD THE CAR BACK UNTIL THE ACCELERATION ENDED. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE THE PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA ACCELERATION WAS MADE PUBLIC. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL AGENCY IN PORT CHARLOTTE FL, WHERE I RENTED IT, BUT THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED. IT WASN'T UNTIL A WEEK LATER THAT THIS STORY WAS IN THE NEWS. I CALLED THE NHTSB TO FILE A COMPLAINT, I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT AGAIN AFTER HEARING THE GOV'T RESPONSE TO THE STUDY OF THIS PROBLEM. FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS IS NOT CORRECT. THIS CAR I DROVE DID NOT HAVE THE PEDAL STICK OR FLOOR MAT PROBLEM. IT DEFINITELY ACCELERATED COMPLETELY ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT THE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED.

AFTER TAKING OUR CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR CONSULTATION ON SEPT 7TH, THEY INDICATE THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WE WOULD NEED TO CONTACT TOYOTA DIRECTLY ON THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOW NEARLY A MONTH LATER, AND WE STILL HAVE NOT BEEN "VISITED" BY THE TOYOTA ENGINEERING TEAM. WE WERE ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER BY TOYOTA AND TOLD TO WAIT TO HEAR FROM THEM. WE ARE STILL WITHOUT OUR CAR AND WAITING SOME KIND OF FORMAL INSPECTION FROM THE TOYOTA CORPORATE TEAM.

WHILE MERGING INTO THE LEFT LANE ON THE MEADOWBROOK PKWY., MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH (8,300 MILES AT THE TIME), ACCELERATOR STUCK. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. I PANICKED, LOOKED DOWN, AND SAW THE PEDAL STUCK ALL THE WAY DOWN. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, & THE PEDAL RELEASED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS DUE TO THE FLOOR MAT. MY MAT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAR FROM THE BEGINNING HAD "POOR PICK-UP". BY THAT, I MEAN IT WAS VERY SLOW WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO PKWY'S TO THE POINT THAT I ALWAYS HAD TO FLOOR IT. I ALSO FROM TIME TO TIME HEARD A VERY SLIGHT CLICK WHILE STEPPING ON THE ACC. PEDAL. BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT ACTUALLY STUCK ON ME. I OWNED A 2005 COROLLA BEFORE THIS CAR, & IT WAS NOTING LIKE THIS CURRENT CAR. I ALSO OWNED A 1999 CAMRY, & A 2003 4-RUNNER. UNTIL NOW, I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I BEGAN TO APPROACH A RED LIGHT AT INTERSECTION, I APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN. INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, HOWEVER, THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THIS REQUIRED ME TO PASS TWO VEHICLES WAITING AT RED LIGHT IN ORDER TO AVOID COLLISION. REMEMBERING WHAT TOYOTA CO SAID TO DO WHEN THEIR VEHICLES ARE SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL, I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUED TO APPLY BRAKES, WHICH HAD NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER. I CONTINUED TO SPEED DOWN DOUBLE-LINED ROAD, PASSING VEHICLES IN MY LANE. THEN WHEN OTHER VEHICLES WERE COMING IN OTHER LANE IN MY DIRECTION, I WAS FORCED TO SLAM FULL SPEED INTO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IN MY LANE. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE AND THAT VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER. WHEN MY FAMILY AND I HAD FIRST HEARD OF THE RECALLS WITH TOYOTA IN FEBRUARY OF 2010, WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER IN FL WHERE WE VACATIONED FOR THE WINTER. WE WERE ASSURED THAT SINCE OUR VIN# INDICATED IT WAS JAPANESE-MADE, WE WERE NOT PART OF THE STICKING ACCELERATOR RECALL. THEY TOLD US TO REMOVE DRIVER-SIDE FLOORMAT ANYWAY, WHICH WE IMMEDIATELY DID. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE TOOK EVERY PRECAUTION POSSIBLE, AND AS MY CAR WAS CAREENING OUT OF CONTROL, I DID EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AND IT DID NOT MATTER.

ON JULY 6, 2010, I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 SOUTH NEAR THE IVES DAIRY RD. EXIT. I DRIVE A TOYOTA COROLLA '10 LE. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH AND WAS IN THE NEXT TO LAST LANE. AT APPROXIMATELY 6:45AM, THE CAR'S RPM JUMPED FROM 2000-3000 TO 5000-6000. AT THIS POINT, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL...THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AUTOMATICALLY ON ITS OWN. THEN, THE RPM'S JUMPED BACK DOWN TO 2000-3000. I HAD TO CROSS THREE LANES IN ORDER TO PULL OVER. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PULL OVER, THE CAR WAS GOING VERY SLOW, BUT THE RPM'S WERE JUMPING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 2000-3000 TO 5000-6000. THIS OCCURRED WHILE MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WHILE IT WAS HOVERING OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL. I DID NOT PRESS THE BRAKES BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO COME TO A FULL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC ON I-95. THIS EVENT OCCURRED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. THE SOUND THE CAR WAS MAKING WAS AS IF I WERE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD NOT DONE ANY OF THIS DURING THE INCIDENT. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR 10 MINUTES, AND I RESTARTED THE CAR. I SLOWLY MADE MY WAY TO MY PARENTS HOUSE NEARBY. *TR

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT IN RESPONSE TO A RECALL NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA. THE NOTICE SAYS TOYOTA WILL MODIFY MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND FLOOR SURFACE IN THE DRIVER'S FOOTWELL. HOWEVER, THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE PROVIDING MY RECALLED 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO JAMES LENTZ, PRESIDENT OF TOYOTA USA, IN HIS TESTIMONY BEFORE CONGRESS (FEBRUARY 23, 2010), TOYOTA PROMISED TO INSTALL BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEMS IN RECALLED VEHICLES. MY FRIEND WHO OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY DID GET A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM, WHICH ENSURES THAT HE CAN STOP HIS VEHICLE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. TOYOTA SHOULD INSTALL A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM ON MY RECALLED VEHICLE, TOO--OTHERWISE MY CAR IS NOT AS SAFE AS OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS, THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT GOING TO INSTALL BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEMS ON COROLLAS. THIS IS WRONG AND NHTSA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

MY TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA HAS BEEN RECALLED ONCE AND THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID THAT THEY DID SOMETHING ON THE BRAKE, BUT I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM WITH MY NEW TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA IS THE NOISE SOUND WHENEVER I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ESPECIALLY WHENEVER I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT MAKES A BELL SOUND. I REPORTED TO TOYOTA DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY SAID IT IS AIR SOUND. I AM NOT ENGINEER BUT I THINK I KNOW WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AIR SOUND AND BELL SOUND. NOW THE TOYOTA SENT ME AND SAID THAT ANOTHER POSSIBILITY OF RECALL ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I THINK THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM ON THIS CAR. I AM SCARE DRIVING THE NEW CAR. WHAT CAN I DO? I ASKED THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT "NOTHING WE CAN DO." IN TERMS OF SAFETY, I REALLY CONCERN THIS IS NOT JUSTMY PROBLEM BUT OUR CITIZEN'S SAFETY PROBLEM. THE WORST THING IS WHEN I DRIVE ON THE HIGH WAY. IT IS LIKE ALMOST 15 YEARS OLD CAR. THE SOUND LIKE A CRACKING AND I REALLY DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY NEW TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA ON THE HIGH WAY. NOW THEY JUST SENT ME A MEMO AND IT SAID THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF RECALL ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BACK UP IN THE STREET AND WENT ACROSS THE ROAD AND HIT A CURB, WHERE IF FINALLY STOPPED. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE, AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, BUT WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, NOTHING HAPPENED. INSTEAD, IT KEPT GOING UNTIL HE HIT A TRUCK THAT WAS DOUBLE PARKED BEHIND HIM. AS THE CONSUMER PU THE GEAR INTO PARK, SO HE COULD TALK TO THE OWNER OF THE TRUCK, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, ALMOST HITTING THE PARK VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CONSUMER. AS HE REPEATEDLY APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, NOTHING HAPPENED SO HE FORCED THE GEAR TO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND FINALLY THE VEHICLE STOPPED.

WHILE DRIVING MY COROLLA, EVEN I DO NOT HIT THE GAS PEDAL, THE RPM STAYS AROUND 2000 AND SOMETIMES IT STARTED TO STUCK AROUND 3000 RPM FOR 15 TO 30 SECONDS THAN GOES TO NORMAL. I HAD DIFFICULTY TO SLOW DOWN IN BUSY TRAFFIC, BECAUSE EVEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT DOES NOT CUT THE GAS SO THE ENGINE STILL TRIES TO RUN AND THE CAR STILL TENDS TO GO, SO I AM NOT ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR IT TAKES TIME TO SLOW DOWN. I AM DRIVING MY TOYOTA IN THE 5TH GEAR AND AROUND 3000 RPM. WHEN I NEED A SUDDEN STOP, I LET GO THE GAS PEDAL AND HIT THE BRAKE. THE ETCS COMMANDS HIGH IDLE EVEN I HIT THE BREAKS; THE PISTONS ARE STILL WORKING (THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING IN GEAR) WITH 3000 RPM SO I AM NOT ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. HOW COME ECM WOULD COMMAND FOR HIGH IDLE FROM TIME TO TIME? HOW CAN I STOP THE CAR OR SLOW DOWN IN NEED WHILE ECM IS COMMANDING HIGH IDLE? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A PROPER CONTROL ON THE CAR WHEN ECM COMMANDS HIGH IDLE. WHO CAN GIVE ME GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD NOT GET STUCK IN HIGHER IDLES? (BECAUSE IT USED TO STUCK AROUND 2000 RPM AND RIGHT NOW IT ALSO STARTED STICKING AROUND 3000 RPM). WHEN I GET CLOSE TO A CURB OR TO AN EXIT I STOP HITTING THE GAS PEDAL ASSUMING THE CAR WILL GET SLOW BUT SINCE IT STICKS AT HIGH RPMS THE CAR DOES NOT GET SLOWER WHEN IT IS IN THE GEAR. *TR

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 LE ON 04/03/2010, AND WHEN I DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY FIRST TIME, I WAS SHOCKED/SCARED THE WAY WAS STEERING/HANDLING. I ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS WITH IT BECAUSE OF THE STEERING ISSUE. WHEN I DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY I SAW THAT THE CAR IS LOOSING BALANCE (THE BACK CAR SHAKES), I FOUND STABILITY PROBLEMS (AS IF I DRIVE IN STRONG WINDS), AND BIG STEERING PROBLEMS (AS I LEARN TO DRIVE A TRICKY BICYCLE). TO GET AND MAINTAIN AN ALMOST CONTROL ON THE CAR DIRECTION I HAVE TO FOCUS MY ACTIONS AS MY COROLLA HAS ONLY TWO WHEELS LIKE A BIKE. I ALMOST ACT AS AN EQUILIBRATE FOR A ROPE DANCING. THE EXPERIENCE OF DRIVING MY COROLLA SHOWED THAT I HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER IT, AND MOST CONTROL I LOST WHEN I HAD TO USE SUDDEN BRAKES AT HIGH SPEED - IT WAS LIKE ON THE ICE. BACK JUMPS AND I STIR IN SAME DIRECTION; BACK JUMPS AGAIN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND I CHANGE THE STEERING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION TOO, AND SO ON. THESE EVENTS OCCUR ALMOST EVERY TIME I DROVE WITH SPEED AROUND 60 MILES/HOUR ON THE FREEWAYS THAT ARE NOT STRAIGHT. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR BECAUSE I AM NOT ABLE TO CONTROL IT, AND I RISK AN ACCIDENT. I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THEY KNOW THE SITUATION FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS TOO, BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUES UNTIL IS NOT TOO LATE, AND PEOPLE MAKE ACCIDENTS AND INJURE. THANK YOU. *TR

YESTERDAY WHILE BRUSHING SNOW OFF CAR IT BEGAN TO REV AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD DEPRESSED ITSELF AND STUCK. I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL UP THE PEDAL.

I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IT IN AND DEALERS WILL NOT TAKE IT. IT IS UNSELLABLE AND UNSAFE. I WANT TOYOTA TO TAKE THIS CAR AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. IT IS A BAD PRODUCT! *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING A COMPLAINT WITH MY 2010 COROLLA. I FIRST CALLED THE NHTSA 800 NUMBER WITH THIS WRITTEN COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A HARD COPY IN TWO WEEKS (I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE IT). SO ONCE AGAIN I AM PUTTING THIS COMPLAINT IN WRITING, SO I HAVE PROOF THAT IT WAS FILED AND SENT. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING GETS DONE WITH IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. THE COMPLAINT IS REGARDING TOYOTA'S NEW PEDAL RECALL PART. IT DOES NOT CORRECT THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. MY CAR ACCELERATED OVER 80 MPH ON FEB.12,2010. TOYOTA PUT IN THE RECALL PEDAL THAT MORNING AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR THERE. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK ON FEB 12, THE CAR EXHIBITED MORE ACCELERATION ISSUES. THAT WAS WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT IT WITH THE NHTSA. THE CAR THEN ACCELERATED AGAIN ON FEB15 WITH THE NEW"PEDAL RECALL IN". I WAS DRIVING UP A LONG ONRAMP ONTO THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 35-40 MPH, AND THE CAR TOOK OFF TO OVER 80 MPH. I WAS INJURED. I CALLED AGAIN TO YOUR AGENCY TO REPORT THIS ON FEB15TH. I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM TOYOTA ON FEB 19TH. THEY SAID "THE CAR WAS FINE. IT IS NORMAL FOR COROLLAS TO ACCELERATE TO 80 MPH". THAT IS TOTAL BULL! THE CAR'S PEDAL STARTED STICKING ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21. THIS CALLED MORE RPM & ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. ALSO THE BRAKES ARE GOING DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR HAS GONE THRU A 5 WAY INTERSECTIONS STOP LIGHT AND A STOP SIGN. I HAVE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

TOYOTA COROLLA S 2010 [XXX] WITH EXTRA STABILIZER BAR KIT, PURCHASED 11-30-09 WITH DELIVERY IN 12/09. 1) APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE ,THE CAR STARTING TO VEER SHARPLY RIGHT THEN LEFT WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS/IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL REQUIRING A TIGHT GRIP ON THE WHEEL. IT FEELS LIKE STRONG WINDS ARE MOVING THE CAR BUT WINDS ARE ABSENT AND ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL. THIS EVENT COMES AND GOES UNEXPECTEDLY, GENERALLY LASTS THE DURATION OF MY COMMUTE ONCE STARTED, SOMETIMES OCCURS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE BUT NOT ALWAYS, SOMETIMES OCCURS AFTER RAPID BRAKING. IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE AN ALIGNMENT OR BALANCE PROBLEM, THE CAR DARTS FROM ONE END OF THE LANE, TO THE MEDIAN OF THE LANE ON ITS OWN. ON THIS DATE 2-24-10 MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FILLED THE TIRES, AND MADE A SLIGHT CHANGE TO THE LEFT ALIGNMENT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED "THIS COULD BE A MATTER OF PERSONAL PREFERENCES" REGARDING HOW I FELT THE CAR DROVE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE TOYOTA MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME TODAY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND "THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO DIRECTION ON HOW TO REPAIR IT." WHEN ASKED THEN IF HE COULD GUARANTEE MY SAFETY AND THAT THIS WOULD NOT OCCUR AGAIN HE STATED NO, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING FOR HIM TO DO. NO INJURIES TO DATE. I DO NOT FEEL TOYOTA IS MAKING REASONABLE EFFORTS TO QUICKLY ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM, ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM, AND DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE THIS WITH STATEMENTS REGARDING MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE FOR THE DRIVE, AND SINCE THIS IN THEIR OPINION IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE FOR THEM IT IS NOT A VIABLE PROBLEM FOR THEM TO REPAIR. 2) ON APPROXIMATELY 2-11-10 I HAD TO USE MY BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IN WHICH MY BRAKES WERE TEMPORALLY NON-RESPONSE. I HAD TO DOWNSHIFT THE GEARS, REMOVE MY FOOT TOTALLY FROM THE GAS PEDAL ,AND MANEUVERED THE CAR AWAY FROM THE OTHER STOPPED CAR. NO ABS WAS FELT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FULLY, THIS OCCURRED AT HWY SPEEDS. NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PROBLEM OR REMEDY PROPOSED BY TOY CURRENTLY. *TR

I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WHEN SLOWING DOWN WHERE THE GAS PEDAL WILL TAKE LONGER THAN WHAT IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO AN ACCEPTABLE AREA AND STOP ACCELERATING.

I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SOME THREE MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD A SOLUTION IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN ONE IS.

I DRIVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM; ESPECIALLY IF I AM TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR AND AM MAKING A RIGHT TURN(EVEN SLIGHTLY TURNING RIGHT). IT'S LIKE THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND THE STEERING GETS LIKE A MAC TRUCK. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP AND/OR POTHOLE. IT MOST RECENTLY EVEN HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD AND I WASN'T APPLYING THE BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. WITHIN AN HOUR OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP; IT HAPPENED TWICE YET THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. SUPPOSEDLY MY CAR WASN'T RECALLED FOR THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE IN JAPAN BUT FEEL LIKE THE GAS PEDAL IS STICKY AT TIMES. I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE I JUST PUT ALL THIS MONEY OUT AND I HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE GOING TO TRY AND DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY THIS SUMMER AND NOW WE CANNOT POSSIBLY FOR WE DONOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THERE IS A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM CAUSING ALL THIS THAT THEY ARE NOT ADMITTING AND/OR HAVE NOT FOUND YET. I DIDN'T COMPLAIN OR TAKE THE CAR BACK RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SCION XD AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

GAS PEDAL WHERE CHANGE AS THE RECALL REQUIRED.THE STEERING PROBLEM IS NOW A NEWER CONCERN FOR US. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH STEERING BEFORE BUT WE JUST IGNORE IT.

WE HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WE BOUGHT IT FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO COMMUTE TO COLLEGE. IT WAS PURCHASED IN MAY 2009 FROM FREEDOM TOYOTA IN HARRISBURG, PA. AFTER QUESTIONING HER ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS PEDAL, SHE SAID THE 'STUCK PEDAL SYNDROME' HAPPENED TO HER ALSO THIS PAST FALL. IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY A DEALER IN ALLENTOWN, PA. SHE THEN ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL 'JERKS OUT OF HER HAND' WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HER MORE THAN ONCE. THE DEALER IN ALLENTOWN WAS TOLD OF THIS, ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT SHE HAD A PROBLEM WITH HER DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NOT ROLLING DOWN WHEN THE SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENED TO HER ONCE. THIS DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE 2 ABOVE MENTIONED OTHER PROBLEMS. I TOLD HER SHE IS TO DOCUMENT ANY FUTURE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I AM ESTIMATING THE INCIDENT DATES. SHE SAID THEY TOOK PLACE IN THE FALL SEMESTER. I DO NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AS TO WHAT HER SPEED WAS AT THE TIME THE STEERING WHEEL HAD A HABIT OF JERKING OUT OF HER HAND.

ON FEBRUARY 15, 2010, I DROVE MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR A SHORT ERRAND NEAR MY HOME. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL, I GENTLY PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR A LITTLE THEN PRESSED GENTLY ON THE BRAKE. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO RETURN TO NORMAL SPEED, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED WITHOUT MY TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. I PUSHED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND STOPPED THE CAR. THEN THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. ALL THIS OCCURRED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF LEAVING MY HOME. AT NO TIME DID I GO MORE THAN 25MPH. THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 250 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. NO, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE RECALL. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN CA. THEIR RESPONSE, OOPS I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A LETTER BUT ADMITTED NONE WAS SENT. THEY WILL CONTACT MY DEALER. 2 OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE, IF MY HARD BRAKING DID NOT WORK THE CAR WOULD HAVE KEPT ACCELERATING, THE SURGE WAS POWERFUL. ALSO, THE ENGINE DID NOT REV, THE CAR JUST SEEMED TO GET A SIGNAL TO ACCELERATE TO A CERTAIN SPEED. YES, THE EXPERIENCE WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. BEFORE, I WAS WILLING TO GIVE TOYOTA THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, BUT IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW MY GAS PEDAL WOULD GET STUCK AFTER 240 DRIVEN MILES. PLEASE, DO YOUR JOB. TOYOTA SHOULD PERMANENTLY TAKE BACK ANY CARE EXPERIENCING THIS ACCELERATION. THESE CARS SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY OFF THE ROAD. *TR

ON 27JAN10, I DROVE HOME AND PARKED THE CAR UNDER THE CARPORT BEFORE AN ICE STORM HIT OKLAHOMA WITH NO ISSUES. ON FRIDAY 29JAN10, I HAD TO MOVE MY CAR TO SHOVEL THE SNOW FROM THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I MADE SURE EVERYTHING (DEFROSTER, FAN, ETC) WERE OFF AND TRIED AGAIN. IT WOULDN'T START AND SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ALMOST STARTING BUT NOT QUITE. I TRIED A 3RD TIME AND IT FINALLY STARTED. ALL THREE ATTEMPTS WERE SEVERAL SECONDS LONG. THE DASHBOARD WOULD NOT LIGHT UP AND AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS, IT FINALLY LIT UP BUT THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND VSC ICON LIGHT WERE ON AND THE VSC OFF LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I LET IT WARM UP FOR A WHILE AND THE LIGHTS STILL DID NOT GO AWAY. I MOVED THE CAR TO GET THE SNOW OUT OF THE WAY AND PARKED IT IN THE SAME PLACE AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, 1FEB10, I DROVE TO WORK WITH THE SAME 3 LIGHTS LIT UP ON ROADS THAT HAD SOME ICE. I FISHTAILED IN TWO INTERSECTIONS AND I'VE FELT THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL KICK IN ON WET ROADS LAST YEAR BUT IT NEVER KICKED IN THAT DAY SO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I DID NOT HAVE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. I DROVE TO WORK AND FIRED OFF AN E-MAIL TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT I COULD NOT COME IN UNTIL WEDNESDAY 3FEB10 AND BY THEN, THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY ON THEIR OWN. THEY DID, HOWEVER, FIND A CODE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A "CAMSHAFT TIMING" CODE OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT BUT THE ORIGINAL CODE THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT TO COME ON WAS ALREADY KICKED OUT OF MEMORY. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME THIS EVER HAPPENED. THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE CODE FOR THE CAMSHAFT TIMING CODE BUT NOTHING ELSE WAS DONE EXCEPT RECORD IT IN MY FILE AT MY REQUEST IN CASE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM COME UP WHEN IT'S COLD AND WET. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THE OKLAHOMA MESONET SITE SAYS THAT THE HIGH/LOW TEMPERATURES ARE: 27JAN10 66F/43F, 28JAN10 46F/28F, AND 29JAN10 25F/19F.

WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE PEDAL WOULD OFTEN RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION VERY SLOWLY. THERE WOULD ALSO BE INSTANCES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD FEEL AS IF IT WAS LOSING POWER WHILE TRAVELING DOWNHILL, AT ANY SPEED, ALSO CAUSING A SUDDEN INCREASE IN RPMS. THE DEALER INSTALLED A CUT METAL BAR TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V023000; COMPONENT: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE.

THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR FOR THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED AND THE PEDAL ACCELERATOR RECALL ISSUE FIXED, BUT THE SERVICE STAFF TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE AND THEY HAD RUN OUT OF THE RECALL PARTS. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A TIME TABLE WHEN THE PARTS WERE GOING TO ARRIVE.
