general problems of the 2000 Toyota Camry - part 2

Consumer was traveling on a residential street about 25mph and heard a noise, and the vehicle took off. She applied brakes, and the brakes didn't stop vehicle. Vehicle stopped after hitting another vehicle. There were minor injuries . Dealership will be notified. Consumer states before hitting vehicle she traveled without brakes for about 1/4 of a mile.

While traveling and without any indication vehicle would idle high, which caused the consumer to depress brake pedal, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. Which resulted in consumer having an accident. The consumer stated she was involved in two accidents on 2 separate occasions. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem on both occasions.

The se v6 engine is exibiting a rough idle at start, and when stopped. I was advised to clean the throttle boody and injectiors. This did nothing but waste my money. I am begining to believe its sludge or a misaligned camshaft.

During a very heavy rain, I was driving the vehicle up a moderately steep hill at 40mph. With a constant pressure to the accelerator, the vehicle suddenly began losing power and slightly decelerated. I increased the foot pressure on the accelerator. The engine then 'wound up' and a high pitched, constant whine came from it. At the crest of the hill, the rpms dropped, the whine ceased, and the vehicle resumed its normal acceleration. Immediately after that, I heard a rattling noise from the undercarriage around the front driver seat area. It sounded like metal banging on metal. It stopped after a few seconds. Earlier in the evening, my wife had driven the vehicle in the same heavy rain and noted the same problems while driving on the interstate at approximately 50 mph on a level roadway. The vehicle was checked by the dealer on 2/14, but they were unable to duplicate the engine problem, nor saw any loose components on the undercarriage.

While stopping at light shifted to first gear with brake depressed, engine idled high, and vehicle took off. Consumer had to turn vheicle off to stop. Dealer has been contacted. Please provide further information.

While driving between 60 and 70 mph the consumer depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle vibrated. The manufacturer sent a representative to assess the problem and determined it was normal.

The consumer complained about an acceleration problem. The vehicle did not accelerate when the driver stepped on the accelerator pedal. Recall#01v012000.

Vehicle surged forward after releasing the gas pedal and hit a tree.

Was driving vehicle and there was a break in the road. A split second later, abs kicked in and vehicle accelerated. Had no warning it would happened. Nearly had an accident. Had to press on brakes hard to stop.
