Driving 70mph on the highway, I accelerated slightly to pass another vehicle. The accelerator got stuck and the speed kept increasing. I tried applying the brakes, but the car started to lose control. I swerved around cars and tried to maneuver to an exit ramp. The car was now going 95 mph. I was unable to control the exit and the car hit the guard rails and flipped over.
2010 Toyota Camry. The consumer stated it was apparent that Toyota knew about the accelerator pedal problem as early as July 2009 as the owners manual stated to check the pedal. The consumer stated the vehicle was manufactured in July 2009 it seemed as though Toyota failed to address the problem even then.
My car is parked in an assigned garage space in an apt. Bldg. In making my usual exit my gas pedal stuck and my car struck pillars, walls and a neighbor's car. This was the first time that the car went out of control. I thought I hit the gas pedal instead of the brake--did not realize that the gas pedal was stuck until I saw tv and newspaper accts. Of the Toyota Camry recall. The years listed in the recall were not complete. My Camry is 2000, not the years of 2007-2010 listed in the recall $3000 repairs--4 days--needed for my car. Neighbor's repairs paid for by my insurance.
My check engine light has been on and off for over 2 years. I have had both catalytic converters replaced, a new gas cap and every other issue the garages have told me are causing the problem. With each fix the light goes off for about a week and then comes back on. Toyota dealerships always tell me it is becuase I do not tighten my gas cap, but I tighten it until it clicks. I am not losing any mileage with the light on or having any other difficulties with car, but I can not pass the emission test with the light on. I feel that the light is on becuase of a glinch in the system or a defect, because I am not experiencing any of the normal problems that come with a check engine light on for long periods of time.
Timing belt went--automobile has only 36,000 miles. My mechanic said this should not happen at such low mileage. When I contacted local dealer, I was told that they recommend replacing the belt at four years. This car is five years old. Nowhere in the maintainance schedule does it say replace the timing belt at four years.
2000 Toyota canry xle, purchased from new rochelle Toyota, new rochelle , NY as certified pre-owned with 40k miles on 4 separate occasions over the course of 5 years beginning in 2005 -- I have experienced accellerator revving or sticking, and sometimes both together. Sometimes just kicking it stopped it, another time I had to throw the car into neutral and pull up the pedal with my foot under it, another time I threw it into neutral and it eased up. Each time I pulled over, shut off the car and restrated and it didnlt happen again for quite some time. Mentioned it to Toyota and they more or less blamed me. Told my independent mechanic who at least checked the brakes and snesors, but he didn't know what to tell me because there was no service warning. No repair was ever done.
2000 Toyota solara se gas pedal sticks. Hard to step on it. Car jerks.
A plastic duct-type of device fell from behind the dashboard and lodged behind the brake pedal preventing braking when I was driving. The item appears to be a heating duct part and has numbers pp-t20, 785-us and 784-us stamped in various locations of the two-part item. This is a very dangerous situation and could have caused me an accident, if I had not had quick wits.
While driving at 65 mph the oil pressure sensor light started to flicker. Vehicle suddenly lost power. Consumer felt this was a safety concern because another driver could have rear ended him. Please provide any further infomation.
At 32,000 miles, the warning light indicating low oil pressure came on. The owner took it immediately to the nearest Toyota dealer for repair, as it was supposedly under warranty. The dealership and Toyota motor corporation refuses to honor any warranty work because of 'engine sludge'. After only checking the oil level and pulling the valve covers off of the engine, they determined that it was 'owner neglect'. And will only look into possible causes at the owners's cost. After researching the internet the owner has found several cases of 'engine sludge' not only in the Toyota Camry's produced in 1999 through 2001 but in the Toyota truck's sienna model, as well.
The engine blew up. I have regularly changed my own oil at 6,000 mile intervals for the past year. The oil pressure light came on and I added 2 quarts of oil. One day later the engine blew and the oil pressure light never came on.
Engine check light keeps coming on after filling fuel tank. Dealer will unplug fuse to get light to go off. Does not remedy the problem. Vehicle taken to dealer 11 times for this problem.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Defective paint job. I began complaining right after I bought the car. I have been told that large spots were the clear coat has peeled off, then the paint, then the body rusted that these were rock chips, then they were caused by acid rain. The dealer fixed the problem on some spots once. The problem continues to happen and get worse. The district manager was suppose to call me when he was at the dealership next. That was almost a year ago. I am to discussed with them to even go in again.
