Accelerator Stuck Problems of Toyota Corolla - part 2

Please I need somebody to help me with my case with Toyota. I had an accident back to July in my Toyota Corolla 2009. I hit someone house with my Toyota because (accelerator and pedal were stuck and I lost the control of the car. I didn't know what went wrong not only I'm a woman and I don't know anything about "mechanic, pedal . . . Etc. When police came I tried to explain to them what cause the accident they told me that if I don't stop lying I can end up to jail. So the house owner sued me I went to a lot of procedure of lawsuit. I never knew that could happened to me. Three days after court, I received the recall letter from Toyota. I drove my car to Toyota I found out my car has 2 recalls ( accelerator and pedal). Please help me. At least Toyota can pay the woman that sued me and my medical expenses.

I drive a 2010 Toyota Corolla. There is something wrong with the antilock brake system; especially if I am trying to apply the brake to slow the car and am making a right turn(even slightly turning right). It's like the brakes lock up and the steering gets like a mac truck. This also happens when I go over a bump and/or pothole. It most recently even happened when I was driving down the highway and there was a slight right curve in the road and I wasn't applying the brakes. I took the car into the dealership today and they could find nothing wrong. Within an hour of leaving the dealership; it happened twice yet they couldn't duplicate the problem. I have a brand new car and am afraid to drive it. Supposedly my car wasn't recalled for the gas pedal because it was made in japan but feel like the gas pedal is sticky at times. I am very upset because I just put all this money out and I have an unsafe vehicle to drive. My daughter and I were going to try and drive across country this summer and now we cannot possibly for we donot feel safe in this car. Toyota should have to buy back the vehicles. I believe there is a much bigger problem causing all this that they are not admitting and/or have not found yet. I didn't complain or take the car back right away because I had similar problems with the scion xd and was told there was nothing wrong again and again. This is an ongoing problem.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Corolla. While attempting to enter the highway from an off ramp she barely pressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle abnormally accelerated up to speeds of over 75 mph. There was a sudden increase in the engine rpms and when she attempted to apply pressure to the accelerator pedal it was stuck in the open throttle position. She attempted to depress the brakes, to no avail. She was able to engage the emergency brake and again she attempted to apply the brakes. The vehicle finally decreased in speed. A state trooper arrived to offer assistance and investigate the failure. The contact confirmed that the floor mats were not interfering with the accelerator pedal. The manufacturer was contacted and would not offer any assistance. Although there were recalls on her vehicle pertaining to the exact same failures (NHTSA campaign id numbers: 10v023000 and 10v017000: component: vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal), her VIN was not included in the recall campaign. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The failure mileage was 5,457 and the current was approximately 10,100. Updated 04/13/10.

The description I am sending in may or may not be connected to the Toyota recalls for brakes or gas pedal sticking. My experience is that everytime I step on the brake pedal I feel something move under my feet. Sometimes it feels like something is rolling under the carpet. My floor mats are snapped into place so I know that they are not moving. I plan on taking my car to a Toyota dealer on Thursday Feb. 18, 2010. This feeling has been there since I bought the car back in August of 2009. My car is a 2009 Toyota Corolla le. They say because it was made in japan I do not have anything to worry about. We will see.

2008 Corolla accelerates on it's own approximately once a week since purchasing the vehicle 10/2008. Always on highway, it feels like when the cruise resumes, the way the car just picks up speed as something is pushing it, but the cruise is not on. It does slow down when I take my foot off the gas pedal, so it doesn't feel like a pedal sticking. Since recalls of other vehicles I was told by the dealer I have my car serviced by that it is something electronically and is normal. I have asked everyone I know if their cars do this, no one has ever experienced this, even someone whose car has been recalled for the so called gas pedal sticking. I'm getting very scared to drive my car as I drive 80 miles round trip for work. Also, my brakes make this loud clunk sound 1/2 the time they are applied. Had them checked about a yr ago and they also said this is normal. Again no one I have talked to has this problem.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) purchased 2003, Toyota, Corolla, VIN: [xxx] with daughter. Veh was purchased from Toyota of orange in CA. Two days later a hit and run driver forced veh to skid across five lanes on interstate 10 in ontario, CA, and landed atop center divider. The vehicle was sent to repair shop and "repaired" after approximately 5-8 months. However, the car was never properly repaired, and I complained to both Toyota , and to the insurance company, allstate, but Toyota adamantly stated the veh was without problems. The car was continually in the shop for the brakes. Eventually the carpet caused the accelerator to become stuck and the car went out of control. I was forced to reach down while the car moving and pull the carpet with both hands to release the accelerator. Stepping on the brakes did not help. Neither Toyota repair nor allstate would help resolve our complaints since 2003, we were simply told that the veh was fine. Additionally I believe the frame is bent, lack of interlocking brakes causing skids, brakes are soft and drop to floor, and poor steering column. This car is dangerous and is impossible to drive without involving near miss accident episodes. The car skids if going as little as 5-10 miles per hour. I offered to give the car away to anyone who was willing to investigate my complaints, all to no avail. I just recently learned that one of the problems I heard in the brand new car was a hole in the exhaust system. Toyota continually denied this for 5-6 years, then by accident a very young newly employed staff at Toyota of orange, informed us that our complaint about loud air sounding noise was a hole in the exhaust, which had been continually making the noise, and burning of eyes (migraines). The brakes were repaired every 2-4 months or less until I just reported less frequently. The car is now no longer under warranty. Currently it needs some brakes, rotors, drums, calipers, and shocks as always.

The contact owns a 2004 Toyota Corolla. While driving various speeds, the vehicle independently accelerated. The accelerator pedal felt stuck. In 2007, a crash occurred when the contact's vehicle unintentionally accelerated and rear ended another vehicle. The contact stated that the air bag deployed after the crash. A police report was not filed. The contact sustained abrasions and contusions that required medical attention. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

In January 2007 I received delivery on a new 2007 Toyota Corolla. In the weeks following delivery I experienced what I would describe as a stuck accelerator on several occasions. I would be driving and without apparent reason the vehicle engine would race. Following these occasions I would check to see if the mat was on the accelerator, but could not attribute the incident specifically to that. I reported these incidents to my dealer, papas Toyota, in st. Peters, mo, and they reported that they could not find a problem with the vehicle. After the first few months, the incidents seemed to stop. Because of the recent similar issues with Toyota vehicles, I believe that the 2007 model Toyota should also be evaluated.

On 4/26/2006 my wife was driving our 2003 Toyota Corolla into a parking spot at her employment. The car did not stop when brakes were applied. She pressed the brakes hard enough to leave tire tracks on the concrete and dug through ground after jumping the curb. The car did finally stop after hitting a small tree and barely missing a light pole. At the time we believed that the floor mats\had got tangled up and the harder she pressed on the brakes the car went faster. With all the media coverage about problems with stuck gas pedals and floor mats . We are not sure that it was not a problem with the car.
