37 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2007 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 03/05/2010

2007 Toyota Camry recalled had the new parts installed @ dealership. After which I experienced the accelerator sticking and not slowing down without pressure to brakes. Returned to the dealership and they said they couldn't duplicate the problem, found no fault codes and rechecked the fixes they had previously installed. The problem still remains, the car doesn't decelerate when you let off the accelerator and in fact had an instance of it speeding up and decelerating freely on it's own. The dealership informed me there is nothing they can do as their computers didn't find anything wrong but as the owner of this vehicle there is clearly something wrong with it that I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

38 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2009 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 03/03/2010

This is to inform you that the "fix" for the recall on the sticking accelerators is not 100% effective, if at all. I bought my Toyota Camry in April 2009 and instantly started having issues with my accelerator sticking. I took my car to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong and/or that what I was experiencing was the transmission being equipped to "hold you back" and save your brakes. I continued having the problem and returned to the dealer only to be told the same thing. On February 13, 2010, I had the recall work performed on my car. 3 weeks later (March 3, 2010), I experienced the sticking accelerator once again. I was under the impression that the accelerator would no longer stick after this "fix" was done. My car is less than a year old and my understanding is that this problem gets worse as the car ages. So far, I have not experienced uncontrolled acceleration, "only" a sticking accelerator, but I am concerned of what the future holds as my car ages and becomes more dangerous to drive. This sticking of the accelerator has occurred a few times a month over the last 11 months.

39 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2007 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 03/01/2010

I own a 2007 Camry solara, my cars gas pedal gets stuck when I am at a stop light and proceed into traffic the cars momentarily stays in an idled position for several seconds, until it kicks forward and accelerates. I am afraid to drive the car and financially I am still paying for a car that is parked, because I do not feel it safe to drive. Toyota needs to put the Camry solara on the list. I took it to the dealership, and without the recall they refuse to even diagnose or repair my car, at my expense no less, I do not feel that solara owners should be ignored and financially responsible. I do not want to hurt myself or anyone else by taking a chance on driving a car that is out of control. Put the solara's on the recall list, and make myself and other drivers at ease with a repair and gas pedal replacement immediately.

I own a 1998 Toyota Camry. Over the past 3 years, (this being year #3), I have had my gas pedal serviced because it sticks, usually after stops and while in traffic if I take my foot off the accelerator and re-engage. Toyota does not have my vehicle on the list and it should be! as of this date, my accelerator is sticking again and I will have to ,again, pay for it.

46 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2010 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 02/16/2010

Problem: 2010 Toyota 4 dr Camry: I am 81 years old. After checking with the new jersey dealer where I bought the this car 51/2 months ago, I was told my VIN # was ok for no problem with the gas pedal sticking, but I should go in for the mat/gas pedalproblem. I did & was told it was done. On 2/16, I was pulling into a spot at cvs. I took my foot off of the gas pedal and started to put the foot on the brake when the car suddenly flew up forward over the cement curb and into the dirt and bushes which, thank god stopped the car. I will never get back into my 2010 Toyota Camry again. They hauled the car to their dealership and got me a Honda rental. I made an appointment with general mgr. . He told me so far they had not been able to find anything in the car. I told him I would never drive that car again and my sons had told me no matter what these people said I was not to drive it. I explained along with never being able to drive that car again I would not now purchase another Toyota. He told me they could give me $17,000. Refund leaving me to eat $10,916. On a car I have had for 5 â½ months and had only 2,091 miles on it. I was told to talk to someone at their corporate office in CA and they offered me nothing but a slick ?your word against mine? nothing help. I could see the writing on the wall I went out the next day, bought a Ford fusion and drove away in my new car. I am contacting you not only because Toyota did not try to assist me with my problem, but also I have been having nightmares about the thousands of people who were told their VIN # had no gas pedal problem as I had been told and may find out that is not true - as I did.

50 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2007 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 02/10/2010

In 2007 we leased a new Camry along with another new Toyota product on the same day. My wife has had the accelerator stick on her and she had to use the emergency brake to stop the car and ran off the road. She narrowly avoided having a terrible accident in the car while my four year old daughter was in the car with her. The dealership picked up the car and attempted to fix it. The first time my wife drove the car the accelerator stuck again. They have since came and picked it up again and have had it for almost two weeks with no progress or solutions offered. The car is unsafe and they have no solutions to fix it. They tell us they're waiting on Toyota engineers to come but have no date or time that will happen. My wife is terrified of the car and rightfully so. There are only 15 months left on the lease and we just want them to purchase the car back. It is leased through Toyota financial. This has been going on for too long for them to have no solutions for a repair.

51 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2010 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 02/09/2010

I am not a Toyota owner, however I believe I am the victim of a Toyota accident. Yesterday, my car was parked outside of my office at around 10:45 am I hear a crash and see my vehicle (2008 chevy equinox) pick up off the ground. Vehicle owner phuong vo, driving a 2010 Toyota Camry had slammed into the back of my car, and damaged it from front to back, including removing my back axel completely. When I came outside, there was an additional truck following this Camry. Apparently the Camry had hit this persons car, he got in it to follow the driver, and then witnessed the driver hit an additional 5 cars before crashing into mine and coming to a stop! now I am very upset because, not only does this Toyota driver not have enough insurance to cover my damages, but his insurance company is refusing to pay for my damages and provide me with a rental vehicle. I did nothing wrong. Just went to work yesterday, and now I am out of a $500 deductible, and my vehicle is expected to take weeks before being repaired. Furthermore, the st louis police department had reported that when an officier tried to move the vehicle it seemed as if the gas pedal was stuck to the floor.

52 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2004 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 02/01/2010

Almost constantly, for several years, on my 2004 Camry 4 cyl xle the gas pedal is rough. When trying to start out the pedal is difficult to depress. Then all of a sudden the car will go. It creates quite a jerk. I have removed floor mats but this does not help. It's like even though I'm pressing the gas pedal it is stuck and then goes. It happens regardless of who drives. With all the pedal issues I'm beginning to think it may be more cars than are now recalled.

62 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2003 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 01/12/2010

On January 12, 2010, I had my 2003 Camry detailed (washed inside and out-including the carpet)at a car wash. I proceeded to a nearby mall,where I stopped briefly at a store. Upon exiting the parking lot, I made a full stop at the stop sign. I then proceeded to go by stepping on the accelerator. At this point the car suddenly accelerated to a high speed, and I was not able to stop it, even though I was pressing on the brake. The car went across 3 lanes & up, over, and down a median,continued to go across another 3 lanes and finally came to rest after hitting a tree on another median. To the best of my knowledge, the accelerator became stuck in the down position, and pushing down on the brake to the left of it did not help, nor did the steering wheel turn as I was trying to avoid hitting the tree. Also, please be aware that my front air bag did not deploy. At the time, I had no visible signs of injury, but injuries became apparent soon after, and can be verified by a doctor. A police report is available, if needed. The vehicle was towed to a collision shop, waiting to be repaired. A claim was filed with Toyota manufacturing. The failure mileage was about 52,000.
