Vehicle in motion getting onto freeway. Pressing gas pedal to accelerate car not accelerating beyond 40mph and felt like it was being forced to accelerate like there was drag and pull. Car jerked forward a few times as if it was being choked on gas. The hybrid dial was bouncing erratically as if it was confused and car was not accelerating beyond 40 mph. Took it to dealer 1x they could not replicate issue, called Toyota care and was told error needed duplicating to be addressed. Both incidences have occured while getting onto a freeway and pressing gas pedal to merge onto the freeway. The temperature outside both times was above 90 degrees and the car had been at rest for at least an hour. I turned off the a/c to reduce amount of power car was using up in order to help with acceleration. The first time this happened in September of 2019. I was able to get the car to 50 mph after about 15-20 minutes and was driving with hazards all the way to the dealership. The second time when getting on the freeway it was not busy and was trying to accelerate to 65 mph, got it up to 40 mph for about 20 minutes then hit traffic and was going about 17 mph then exited the freeway and took the streets.

The Camry Hybrid covered only by warranty enhancement zkk are suffering the same dangers from brake booster pump assembly failures as those Toyota covered by Toyota safety recalls (d0h & k0l). By excluding Camry Hybrids with defective brakes from the d0h and k0l safety recalls, Toyota is leaving the owners to helplessly experience life-threatening brake failure or malfunction before Toyota will provide the replacement brake components needed to make the vehicle safe. The law requires Toyota to prevent the life-threatening dangers of this brake defect before the failure occurs. Toyota's cost-cutting strategies are causing crashes and injuries. Injuries and crashes caused by the brake defect explained in this letter have occurred and been reported to the national highway traffic safety administration. Toyota's decision to provide a reactionary, post-failure repair - instead of a preventative safety recall remedy - explains many of the crashes and injuries on NHTSA's safercar. Gov website. Below is a list of relevant complaints from safercar. Gov. �c� indicates a �crash� and �I� indicates �injury�: 10681105 (c), 10883971 (c), 10971542 (c), 10664739(c)(I), 10807100 (c), 10794987 (c), 10605988(c), 11154818 (c)(I), 10606258, 10592072, 10967838, 10626061(c), 10604544 (c)(I), 10569158 (c)(I), 11090508 (c)(I), 11057737 (c)(I), 10779877(c)(I), 10722560 (c)(I), 10692225 (c), 10560809 (c), 10523025 (c), 10502158 (c), 10616767 (c), 10641347,10611145, 10596979, 1051996, 11003054, 10597316, 10705883, 10875822, 10510996, 10564619 c1256, c1253, c1252, and c1391 - indicating dangers and noncompliance - are being stored in vehicles excluded from the past safety recalls.

My car will not let me accelerate past 40mph. Once I do pass 40mph my check engine light and check hybrid system light comes on and the car shuts down right after. This is all when driving the vehicle. The first time happened on the highway when I went 65 and it cut straight out.

I have a 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid , I have always taken very good care of it maintenance wise etc. ,my wife & I were driving a few days ago and heard a ticking noise that sounded odd so we immediately stopped at a pep boys as it sounded oddly- I he gentlemen there checked the oil mind you we always only ever take the car to Toyota dealerships but had never heard this ticking noise and wanted to check right away. The gentleman told us that we needed oil and proceeded to add 2qts if oil , he checked again and added 2more quarts , we also have never had to add oil nor have we burned oil in his car ever in between oil changes - this was very odd as we have never enemies had a drop of oil in our driveway ever. So after the oil was added we started the car and the ticking noise had subsided, we headed towards our home and a severe loud clanking noise way worse than before started and a light came on telling us to immediately pull over and to place the car in park- we towed to Toyota immediately and were told that we needed a new engine- later I read about a defect that we were never told about, not in a recall nor otherwise, our person at Toyota dealership said nothing either about their ever being a problem with this car nor a recall if any sort and I certainly never received anything in the mail either - not only is this a safety issue but is pure fraud and negligence in Toyota's part to ignore and say nothing at all - I am not under warranty but not his defect was never brought to our attention- what can I do ? possibly due in a small claims court ? please help - I have entered my VIN# in a couple different sites and then here is no recall or anything whatsoever closely related to this under this VIN # this actually happened on 6-16-2019 but this system would not allow me to enter the correct date for some reason!.

The vehicle did not respond properly to the driver pressing the accelerator. When the driver attempted to drive the vehicle after it had been parked for a few hours, with no problems previously, the vehicle would barely accelerate. The vehicle felt very sluggish and even with the accelerator fully pressed it would not exceed 25 mph. The driver pulled the vehicle over and turned off the vehicle and turned it back on but this did not immediately resolved the issue. The driver drove the vehicle for a few blocks to a safer parking location and turned off the vehicle again to better inspect the vehicle. There were no warnings on the instrument panel and no obvious signs of mechanical issues. The driver restarted the vehicle and attempted to drive it again the issue did not re-appear. This vehicle had not yet been inspected by the dealership since the incident but could have resulted in a tragic collision and needs to be addressed.

Unauthorized acceleration of the car in a parking lot. The car was in a slow right turn while preparing to park, and the car surged forward without application of the accelerator pedal. Driver headed toward a tree in order to miss a public utility box but a high curb assisted in stopping the vehicle.

When I come to a full stop and attempt to drive the vehicle sort of "stalls" then eventually the gears catch and it starts to drive. This can be very dangerous when trying to pick up speed in a highway or something. The first time it happened I was at a stop sign. Upon depressing the brake, the vehicle did not pick up speed, it slowly rolled forward. After about 5-10 seconds, the vehicle then seemed to "catch gears" and picked up speed. I also noticed the hybrid battery wasn't charging very well and seemed to be hot as the battery fans were constantly on.

Several lights on the dash came on including the check hybrid engine, the check vsc system, and the abs lights. The power brakes were off and it became difficult to stop. Then the vehicle's engine stopped completely requiring me to maneuver out of heavy traffic to the shoulder of the road. I turned on my hazard lights, but was almost hit by several vehicles as I got to the shoulder.

I was driving on a city street and got a check vsc system on the console and when a mechanic checked the problem, he gave the code - c1391 - abnormal leak in accuator, my brake lights are on, abs lights are on, red triangle light is on.

The abs light and check vsc light and brake light went on. When I tried to apply brakes to stop, I realized that the brakes completely failed. The car was skidding and keep going and I pumped the brakes and still the car was moving forward. I came close to hitting another car and luckily stopped couple of inches from the other car. It keeps happening often and I am worried to drive this car as it is. It works fine and suddenly goes to this brake failing mode. Especially happen more often if it rains and making it more dangerous.

I was in my gym's parking lot and had just turned left into a parking space. I placed my foot on the brake to slow the car to a stop as it moved forward into the parking space. However, the brake pedal did not respond. Instead, the car continued driving forward on its own, and then I heard a sound of acceleration, as if the car was revving itself up to a higher speed. Thinking that the brake had not engaged, I took my foot off the pedal and placed it back on the brake pedal, stepping harder, but there was no response. At this point, with my foot still on the brake pedal, the car jumped up onto the curb while still accelerating on its own, ran over the sidewalk. Rolled up and over a two-foot hedge that ran parallel to the sidewalk, then crashed into the brick enforced concrete column at the corner of the gym building. The brick column stopped the forward momentum of the car, but left a large dent in the right side of the car¿s bumper that was embedded with chunks of concrete. It also dented the hood of the car, pushing it out of alignment. The airbags in the car did not deploy. I had the car towed to the local Toyota dealer and have reported my accident to Toyota headquarters. I authorized their review of my car's event data recorder and am awaiting their investigation report. This frightening accident left me very shaken. It felt as if I had no control over the car at all. It seemed as if something had taken control of the acceleration of the car and my attempts to stop the car's forward momentum by stepping on the brake had zero impact. Thank god no one was on the sidewalk or I would have killed them. These cars need to be recalled to find out what is causing this potentially deadly malfunction. They are lethal weapons on our city streets!.

Vehicle serviced 3/10/10 under Toyota 90l recall campaign. Dealership stated all systems functional upon completion. On 5/21/14, in safe road conditions and parking lot speeds <10 mph, driver applied brakes to vehicle in order to pull into parking spot. During braking, vehicle did not slow or stop, but accelerated at a high rate of speed, striking a parking berm and 3 other vehicles. Police report made; driver not cited but was advised to contact Toyota re brake failure and acceleration. Toyota was contacted; inspection was made by bosch engineering. Toyota contends the incident is not a result of any manufacturing defect. Toyota provided a technical report containing engineering data without layman's explanation or proof of its contention. Toyota was found by the doj to have misled consumers and the govt regarding severity and "resolution: of this issue. On 8/21/14 and 8/22/14 driver was contacted by Toyota with a second and separate recall notice #e0u, affecting the vehicle's brake reservoirs, in which clogging and/or low fluid levels "could cause additional warning lamps[. . . ]to illuminate and front brake assist could be temporarily lost. " the warning lamp in question did illuminate during the 5/21 incident. Legal counsel for driver has advised an independent review of the bosch report and inspection of the brake reservoir; however, the vehicle was totaled and sold at auction by the insurance company's salvage agent. I have initiated an independent review of the bosch report at my own expense. In light of Toyota's misleading conduct regarding recall campaign 90l and the subsequent recall #e0u, driver contends that Toyota is at fault for the events of 5/21/14.

I have really good driving record with no accident & not even 1 ticket in the past 20 years before these 2 accidents & we've had the car for 6. 5 years. 1st accident happened on 4/11/14 at 9:14am. Traffic was bad during the morning rush hour so all cars were travelling slowly. I was on fwy 5 heading s to the fwy 55 s ramp in CA. Matrix (1st car) suddenly stopped while all other cars were still moving forward. Equinox (2nd car) stopped & I immediately slammed my foot on the brake pedal. However, I didnât feel the car stopping at all & I thought I heard the engine roaring, but then thought it was only my illusion. Since the damage was only bumpers & headlights we just let insurance handled it & moved on with our life. However, I did start driving extra carefully after this incident. 2nd accident happened on 6/23/14 at 8:40am. Again, traffic was bad during morning rush hour. I was on jamboree in irvine, CA heading towards newport beach. I was waiting for the red light on jamboree at the 405 n bound exit intersection in the 2nd lane from left (total 4 lanes). There were already 2 accidents around there & light had just turned green. All cars were moving very slowly due to accidents nearby. Yukon had already pulled into the intersection & suddenly stopped. I was still behind the line with some distance & slammed on brake immediately but didn't feel the car stopping until hitting yukon. I heard brake sound and engine roaring again while my foot was on the brake pedal. This time the roaring sound was clear compare to April accident. It was at over-path of fwy 405 so the road was a bit going uphill. Hybrid does not start fast at all so I am sure my speed was very slow. Car is determined as totaled because engine went under yukon's spare tire hanging in the back. Toyota said hybrid has a black box that records data. Want to get access to the encrypted data if possible.

I was turning into my neighborhood going approximately 15 mph when an emergency light flashed on and off. It was so quick that I was unable to identify which emergency light. After driving another 100 feet the emergency light that is an exclamation point in a triangle lit up and stayed on as my vehicle slowed down. The accelerator stopped working entirely. The engine did not rev as I tried to accelerate the car. I was able to apply the brakes and bring the car to a stop. I put the car in park and then in drive and the car drove without further incident. It has since been at the dealership for the last week. In the last few weeks I also noticed that while at stop lights if I was applying pressure to the brake and simply applied a little more pressure, the uneven terrain emergency light turned on and would allow the car to drive until I put it in park and again put it in drive. This happened on numerous occasions. The dealership is investigating these issues currently.

While traveling on the interstate, about 80% of my brakes gave out and I lost stability. My abs indicator and the message "check vsc system" came on. As I came to a stop, my brakes jerked a bit and I came to a sudden and aggressive stop. I turned the car off and restarted it, and everything drove fine. This same thing happened sporadically about 20 times over the next couple of months, but now my abs light and check vsc indicator are on at all times. My brakes are diminished most of the time down to 50%, and every now and again, my car will come to a really hard stop as I brake. I had a Toyota dealer look at it, and I was told my actuator was out and would need to be replaced at a cost of $3,000. That is just for the part, not including labor. I only paid $15,000 for the car. On top of that, they aren't even using the 2007 model actuators, they are using a later model, which tells me they know something is wrong with the 2007.

About to leave from a parking lot at night, turned vehicle on. Released emergency brake. Put car in reverse to back out. While backing out, noticed car not operating correctly. Stopped backing out and reparked. Noticed engine dash lights were on:"check vsc system", abs, emergency parking light nonresponsive, triangular warning light and check engine light. Looked into manual to read and said to take car in. Drove car around parking lot to see how car handled. Car braked but pumped on own after brake tapped each time. Braking ability and flexibility compromised. Being serviced now.

My car was just repaired 6 months ago for this same issue at a cost of over $3,000!!!! today my husband and son were in the car when the brakes failed and the check vsc warning light came on again!! luckily they were not in an accident as a result of the failed brakes.

While driving to work on 1/27/14 my brake, abs, check vsc and red warning lights turned on. It was almost impossible to brake. I had to pull off and turn the vehicle off and hope the issue would resolve it. After a few times it finally did. I have taken it to the dealer in the past and it was diagnosed as my abs actuator having a leak and it was replaced. There still appears to be an issue. Additionally when braking at any point in time, there is a stutter when under 5 mph, which I was told was due to this same issue which still hasn't been resolved.
