The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the accelerator pedal seized without warning. The contact was unable to stop the vehicle and crashed into another vehicle. There were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body and the accelerator pedal sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 80,000.

Saturday afternoon 19 Nov 2011, the accelerator on my 2004 4-cylinder Camry became uncontrollable -- inexplicably slowing to a crawl and/or surging forward seemingly independent of how hard I depressed the gas pedal. I barely got to a local mechanic without being hit from behind or smashing into the vehicle in front of me. The mechanic told me the accelerator pedal sensor had died, and replaced it at a cost in excess of $600!!! I've seen reports that this is relatively common in this "fly-by-wire" design and am very concerned that Toyota has not recalled this model to correct the problem. No way should such an issue arise after only 40000 miles on my car. I contacted Toyota about reimbursing me for correcting this safety design defect, and both the local dealer and Toyota customer care told me in no uncertain terms where to go -- the local director of operations almost literally telling me to f. . . O. . !.

On Friday, 25 March, 2011 at about 4 pm, my wife experienced a sudden deceleration event on our 2010 Toyota Camry. She made a right turn & in about a half mile, the Camry suddenly slowed to less than 10 mph from about 40 mph. She pulled into the first parking lot to the right and shut off the Camry. She said no matter how much she pressed on the accelerator, the car was not responding to the accelerator. She said the check engine and the stability control lights were on. She tried restarting the car and drove a little in the parking lot, the 2 dash lights were on, but it was driving ok. She drove the car slowly approximately 5 more miles to our home. I arrived soon & I checked the codes with my diagnostic tool, and the ecu was showing an active p0121 (throttle/pedal position sensor a, circuit range performance). So we drove the car slowly to atlanta Toyota, 2345 pleasant hill road, duluth, GA 30096. During the drive to the dealership, the dash lights went off. I reported the code p0121 to the service rep, and the driving symptoms. The next day (Saturday, 26 March 2011) atlanta Toyota called me reporting that there were no codes in the ecu. I repeated the code that I had read. The rep stated they would check again. Again atlanta Toyota called me, stating no codes found, and they had test driven the car and could not replicate the problem. They did replace the accelerator pedal assembly. On the drive home from the dealership I noticed that the clock time had changed about 30 minutes, and all the radio presets were gone, as if the battery had been disconnected. I inquired and the dealership rep said the battery had ‘not been touched’. My concern is this – Toyota may have reprogrammed my car due to the sudden deceleration issue, (hence the clock & radio changes), and they are not being forthcoming regarding repairs. All they will say is, there were no codes.

Our 2004 Toyota Camry stalled yesterday and had to be towed to the dealership. We are told that the accelerator pedal sensor is defective and must be replaced at a cost to us of $600. Nhtsa should investigate whether all Toyota accelerator pedal assemblies and electronics since 2001 should be recalled.

On 12/8/09, on my way to the clinic my check engine light came on and staid on. Leaving the clinic my check engine light remained on and the gas pedal became rigid. It was hard to depress and did not want to move freely. The car moved at a couple mph. When I attempted to depress the pedal to make the car go faster the wheels would spin. I was driving my 2002 Toyota Camry le with about 60,000 miles on it when this occurred. My mechanic replaced the gas pedal with a sensor on the reverse end. I am worried that this might happen again and cause an accident. It sounds as if it was acting like the recalled vehicles. Updated 03/19/10 updated 03/24/10.

I have a 2003 Camry. On Nov. 8, 2009 I had a very big problem with the accelerator. When stepping on the gas pedal I couldn't get any gas, and then the car would jerk forward at a rapid rate so that I had to apply the brakes. It was totally undrivable. The mechanic replaced the gas pedal assembly, and I have the old part in my possession. The part was $428. 01 plus the labor cost. My old Camry I drove for 12 years without any problems. I feel the part was defective and that Toyota should reimburse me for the cost of replacement. Would your agency please look into this for me? updated 11/16/bf the mechanic replaced the accelerator pedal assembly the pedal position sensor.

My 2002 Camry 4 cylinder experienced a speed control problem a couple years ago. I was able to get to the dealer and have repairs made without any accident, however.

On April 15,2008 my wife was driving our 2004 Toyota Camry down our street when all of a sudden the car went into idle and wouldn't accelerate. I had a extended warranty still in effect since the car only had 42,393 miles on the car so I called my local Toyota dealer and they replaced the accelerator pedal sensor. We haven't had a problem since but I am afraid that the replaced sensor may be defective and could cause unwanted acceleration/deceleration since it was replaced in 2008. I am concerned that the newly replaced accelerator sensor may not be safe either considering all the recent reports. Please use your power and get Toyota to add the 2004 Toyota Camry to their recall list before other serious problems occur. Thanks for your serious consideration on this matter. Please let me know what you decide.
