general problems of the 2009 Toyota Camry - part 2

On Wednesday March 17, 2010 I took my 2009 Toyota Camry to my local Toyota dealership in chester, va to have my vehicle serviced due to the recent recall issue. This morning while driving to work I noticed that when I let off the gas pedal, my car accelerates just a bit and/or sticks just for a few moments and then decelerates . The vehicle was doing this prior to the service, and is still doing this after the vehicle maintenance was completed yesterday. I feel that whatever "fix" Toyota is performing on the recalled vehicles is not working. I feel it is not a mechanical issue, I feel it is an electronic issue. I have read that others are having the same issue with the "fix" Toyota is issuing for their vehicles. I am at a loss of what to do since Toyota doesn't seem to have a reliable "fix" for the recalled vehicles yet. I don't know what this information will accomplish, but I just wanted to put it out there just in case it is helpful. Thanks, concerned Toyota customer.

I was on the highway in a traffic jam. I was riding the brake and the rpm's suddenly revved. I pushed harder on the brake until it stopped.

I had the recall work done the weekend before this incident for the accelerator pedal and shut off switch for the brake pedal. I was pulling into a parking spot with my foot on the brake pedal, then the car tried to accelerate on its own and lurching forward.

I own a 2009 Toyota Camry. A couple of times it would happen that the car would accelerate by itself. I was instructed on how to stop the car in these cases. About a couple of weeks ago I took my car in to repair the recall. They said they have fixed everything, but I have experienced the same issue again. I am wondering if this issue is going to get resolved once and for all. I love my car but I don't feel safe, specially after I have heard that there have been so many other incidents, not to mention deaths caused by this.

The recall noticed stated that the floor mats should be placed in the trunk and if they are not the correct ones they would be replaced free of charge. When she returned to the dealership her mats were not in her vehicle. No one at the dealership was able to tell her what happened to the floor mats or who removed them from the trunk of her vehicle. She is concerned that the vehicle was not inspected by the dealer. There are no failures at this time. The VIN was not available. The current mileage was 5,016.

2009 Toyota Camry with acceleration and brake failure. The consumer stated when he applied the brakes, they did not grab. About three quarters of the way driving down a hill, there were not brakes at all. There was plenty of pedal, but the consumer was unable to slow or stop the vehicle. The consumer noticed the speedometer read 83 mph. Finally, the consumer was able to slow the vehicle down a little by using both feet to apply the brakes.

On March 1 at 5:15pm I was on I-295 headed home and my 2009 Toyota Camry le accelerated after I had all three recalls done at the Toyota of waldorf. As I was coming up to a s500 mercedes I attempted to slow my car down once I pressed the brake, I felt the car switched to a higher gear, I continues to press the brake as hard as I could, finally I pulled off the road to the left into the grass where I then threw it in neutral until it slowed down. I then cut it off and called Toyota to complain. The service manager asked would I like it towed and I replied " what do you think?" I explained to her that I had all the recalled done on my car and I don't understand how this happened. After they towed my car the next morning I called to complain to the gm they then transfer me over to another service manager after I waited for the gm for several minutes. This service manager tells me they are trying to figure out what's wrong and offered me a rental car. I went to pick up the rental and I realized after I got home that there were several different models not just mine that were involved in this recall so I decided to look up this 2010 tacoma that they gave me and sure enough it was on the list. I decided to park this car and ride to the metro which drops me off half of a mile from my job. I would rather take this hassle than to drive any of these recall vehicles from Toyota. I have a family that I have to protect and if this is how the "Toyota family" care for its customers then I choose to not deal with this "family" in the future. I am requesting from Toyota that they put me in a car of equal value even if its used and one that is not on the recall list. To all that have a recall model from Toyota I recommend that you be very cautious of the repairs done and drive even safer than before. I have been on the phone twice today with the corporate office attempting to speak with someone and both times I was placed on hold for 30 minutes and still couldn't reach anyone.

On 2/24/10 recall was performed on 2009 Camry Toyota at orland park, IL . Toyota reshaped gas pedal, added reinforcement metal bar in gas pedal, removed padding under the carpet near the gas pedal to prevent interference and reprogrammed computer. The vehicle is now so loud due to outside noise and vibrations under my feet that I hear and feel everything hitting my wheels and under carriage. This is horrible. Something needs to be done. I this purchased vehicle because of its luxurious ride and performance, it has been ruined.

When attempting to brake I have occasionally had my vehicle accelerate instead of stopping. This is extremely frightening and I no longer feel safe in my vehicle, especially in light of recent news reports documenting wide spread defects for my particular model. Even when the car does not accelerate while I attempt to brake, there is a delay in the response of the braking system which is a danger in itself. My natural reflex when this happens is to step on the brake peddle with more force and more frequency which, I believe, causes excessive wear and tear on the braking system. Braking/engine problem with 2009 Toyota Camry.

Toyota recently announced that the cars on their lots were fixed and ready to be sold. Still no notice about bringing your car in. Is this a tacit acknowledgement that they fixed their cars before they are fixing the cars of those of us at risk.

Toyota Camry 2009 would not accelerate from a stopped position at a traffic light, causing my car to get stuck perpendicular in the middle of rush hour traffic. Four days previous to this incident the accelerator was repaired according to the recall. The car was towed to the dealer where the accelerator no longer showed any problems and they denied there was an issue with the car.

2009 Toyota Camry gas pedal recall not right, computer reprogram not working.

While at a stop sign, I accelerated my car and then quickly stopped (pushed on the brakes) because another car was coming, only to feel my Camry accelerate and crashed into the other car.

After repeated calls to Toyota dealer about acceleration problems with only "we'll call you when parts come in" vehicle accelerated and crashed through a metal gate causing significant damage to gate and car. Auto was tolled to collision center for evaluation. After calling Toyota I was told to give problem to insurance carrier.

When starting from a complete stop and beginning acceleration, and sometimes when trying to quickly accelerate while moving forward, the car will hesitate and not accelrate for about 1/2 to one second while the car is slowing moving into traffic. This is a significant safety issue particularly when turning and crossing traffic and when merging with traffic on a freeway. This is a frequent occurance, but does not seem to follow any particular pattern other than it occurs here and there when accelerating. I took the car back to the dealer within a couple of weeks of buying it and they said that it was functioning fine. I looked on the internet and found that they are many others that have complained about acceleration hesitation issues with the Toyota Camry who also took their cars back to the dealer and received the same response that I did that "it was functioning normally". Though I feel that this is a significant safety risk with the car, I feel that my only recourse, since Toyota says it is running fine, is to essentially avoid all situations where sudden quick acceleration is required. Wiith the number of reports on the internet matching my exact problem I feel that this is an issue that needs to be looked into with at least 2009 Toyota Camrys.

We leased a 2009 Toyota Camry from performance Toyota on June 22 2008 on one occasion while my husband was pulling into krogers in w chester the car accelerated when he had his foot on the brake. The next day we took the car to performance Toyota and they gave us a rental. The next day they called and said the car was fixed. I did not feel safe in this vehicle and told them so but they reassured my husband and I that the car was safe. This was on 2-3-10. On 2-9-10 the car accelerated again at the fairfield mercy hosp. And about 15 min later at a stop sign in our subdivision. The next day I took the car back and told them to keep it but they said it was a lease and I could not let it there so I purchased a 2010 Toyota Camry which also was a disaster.

I had picked up a passenger about 1 1/2 hours from my home. I was returning home & noticed that the gas pedal was accelerating even tho I was pressing the brake. I couldn't stop the car& a curvy road was ahead along with a cliff. My option was to go over the cliff or go into possible oncoming traffic to try to stop the vehicle. I opted to try to turn the car into a nearby driveway. Luckily no oncoming traffic was close enough to hit my car as I did this. The driveway was slanted & as I turned into the driveway I smacked into a snow bank which tore my front bumper off. Luckily there were no personal injuries. I reported this to Toyota & my insurance ( at the time of the accident I had heard about a Toyota recall having to do with gas pedal but it had been a while & I hadn't received notification of the recall affecting my vehicle). My personal car insurance covered the $3000 worth of damage to the bumper radiator, grill, etc. Over 4 years later & I still haven't recovered my deductible from Toyota for a known defect in the pedal! had I been notified timely of the recall affecting my vehicle this could have been avoided! instead, I had to cover the cost to repair damage out of my pocket & I had whiplash for a few weeks caused by a known issue Toyota knew of! I'm furious & disappointed that I chose a Toyota!.

On 1/27/10,my husband was driving the car. He slowed down because the road was rough & had curves ahead. When he took the foot off the gas pedal we accelerated forward instead of slowing down. No one was injured just surprised. It went to the dealership that week for testing. The recall was done 2/15/10. On 2/18/10 the car accelerated again. This time I was driving the car. I was going towards a 4 way intersection, I let off the gas thinking it was going to slow down, instead it went faster. The recall did not fix the problem. The car went back to the dealership but nothing was found wrong. It meet all of Toyota's testing. The problem is still there, they did not know how to fix it.

The repair shop made several attempts to start the vehicle and was unsuccessful. The manufacturer advised her that the recall repair will start in April and that she would have to wait until then.

Twice within a week my gas pedal did not release, resulting in a continued acceleration for my 2009 Camry hybrid. First time was on an exit ramp where I release pressure on the pedal to slow down but it did not move for a few seconds. The second time was pulling out and needing to quickly accelerate, I then released pressure, but the car continued to increase in speed. Both times I move the floor mat toward my seat, and the second time required shifting the car into neutral. After the second incident, I took my car to the dealer who sold it to me and reported the above. They looked at the mat and secured it with clips that were not there before. This was prior to the pedal recalls.
