| I just recently bought a 1996 toyota camry, the car runs great besides the fact that it sometimes starts to self accelerate. the pedal gets stuck in press mode and the car just picks up incredible sudden speed. in prior occasions i have suddenly just put the car in neutral and then the engine revs up to 6500 rpm. i've also noticed that this problem occurs when the outside temperatures are really hot. on certain occasions i have came very close in becoming involved with an accident. in these scenarios i have even put the car in neutral and shutting it down. i have even opened the hood many of times and have seen that the cars accelerator wire is fully clinched to the max. this has been a very big safety concern for me and has in dangered my life many of times. i have contacted a local toyota dealer about this problem, they said they really dont know anything regarding a 1996 camry and accelerator problems. this is indeed a very big issue and it is very apparent that this problem of accelerators do exist from long time before and not just in the recent camry's. i do not want to get involved in any sort of accident as i've come very very close. | |||

| My 1996 toyota camry experienced unintended acceleration and became difficult to control on april 12, 2010. while driving home from work (a distance of 26 miles) i entered the freeway and gave my car gas to move into the second from the left hand lane. after getting into the proper lane, the car behaved in the same way as a car after pressing the resume button, after disabling cruise control. this happened at 4:30p during the start of rush hour traffic. the only way i could keep from hitting another vehicle was to floor the brake. at one point the car raced to speeds of 65-75 mph. i could tell that at the 75 mph range that i was very likely to hit the car in front of me. to prevent this i briefly placed the car in neutral, then switched it into reverse twice in quick succession. the camry made a horrible noise, but did slow down after that. the brakes seemed to be unable to engage properly from that point, possibly due to excessive use. i was able to successfully drive to the dealership after that. the dealer examined the car, test drove it and stated that they could find no problem with the car. statement from spouse: as a recently retired engineer from a large research laboratory, i | |||

| I entered the freeway on-ramp and accelerated. the car continued to accelerate even after i took my foot off the gas pedal. i kicked the pedal down a couple times to get it unstuck. instead of coming unstuck, it stuck all the way to the floor. (the engine accelerated to the maximum amount. i think the actual pedal came back up to the idle position.) the brakes slowed the car some when i pushed on the pedal with both feet with my hands on the steering wheel and standing up so all my weight and strength was on the brake. the brakes smelled of burning and i thought for a second that maybe i was getting it under control. however, when i looked at the speedometer, it read 95 and the brakes were smoking and smelling quite strong. i put the car into neutral and continued to push hard on the brake. it slowed down to maybe to 65 or so. by then the engine was running so fast i thought it would blow up and it was night on a relatively deserted freeway so i put it back into gear and continued this pattern for approximately 8 miles - speeding up to way past 95, riding the brakes until they smoked and smelled too much (i thought they would become useless if i let them burn up) putting it into neutral and slowing down for as long as i thought was ok before blowing the engine, repeat, etc.. just prior to my exit, the unintended acceleration stopped and i got off onto the side streets. when i accelerated after a stop sign, the accelerator stuck but i immediately put it into neutral and then shut the key off, stopping the engine. it did this two more times. the repair shop cleaned the throttle body and it has not happened again. i was in the army infantry during the 60's but had not had a flashback for a very long time. i had flashbacks of this experience several times when entering a freeway entrance ramp. it was a most terrifying experience and research has shown that our ability to respond logically is greatly diminished under that high stress. *tr | |||

| S10 appropriate handling re toyota safety recall for sudden acceleration. *tgw during the months of may through july 2009, the consumer experienced problems with the brakes. off and on, the brake pedal would go all the way to the floor. the vehicle would not stop, until the ignition was turned off. there was a strange odor coming from under the hood. however, the consumer was able to control the vehicle. it would generally happen when attempting a routine stop. the vehicle was taken to a repair shop, but they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle. then on august 19, 2009, the vehicle suddenly accelerated; the brakes did not work and the vehicle was accelerating at a high rate of speed. as the consumer desperately shifted from neutral, second and third gear, she was unable to control the vehicle. she was able to weave in between cars as there was no place for her to pull over without crashing. she put on her hazard lights and beeped the horn to warn other drivers. she then swung into a wide parking lot entrance and slammed the gear into park and came to an abrupt halt. *jb | |||

| 1996 toyota camry, ca dxlesexle cruise control recently stopped working while driving along and the vehicle suddenly increased speed (occurrence date oct 18 2009) and i pressed the brake and the cruise control disengaged. subsequent attempts to use the cruise control got the same result, continuous increase of speed until turned off. checked for recall, and there is a recall for the 1996 camry in reference to the cruise control, however the local toyota dealer checked the vin and said that it is not on the recall list, and toyota headquarters took my info and also told me the vin is not on the list. the symptoms are exactly the same as in the recall. very dangerous situation, as people may think they are under cruise and not realize they are accelerating. *tr | |||

| Vehicle-toyota-camry-1996 and 1993 problem: cruise control we own 1996, my mom owns 1993, both have the following problem. neither of us have been able to afford to have repairs done, so we do not know the cause/remedy. we have instead stopped using. intermittently, repeatedly, without any warning, cruise control suddenly stops working. a sudden extreme decrease in speed occurs due to failure. switches and lights indicate it is still on and working properly. this is extremely dangerous on freeways at high rates of speed particularly because that is also when normal use of cruise control is most likely/most often being used. this poses an enormously high risk of being hit from the rear or the car following to swerve and it either hitting, or being hit by, another vehicle. huge possibility of multiple vehicle pile up. because cruise control is almost always being used when it the most dangerous times for it to fail, the urgency of this problem can not be over emphasized. more likely to fail on inclines makes it even more dangerous as the rate of speed drops even faster. starts very intermittently and far between, as time goes on occurs more and more often. eventually found that it occurs more often on incline, but not always, with a less and less incline as time goes on. happened on crowded freeway at high rate of speed with big rig following close behind. almost hit by it! happened at high speed on a crowded freeway, other vehicles close all around, barely avoided nightmare pile up! i can not over emphasize how dangerous this problem is! with both ours and mom's camry having the exact problem, there may very well indicate pattern/problem. *tr | |||

| I experienced 3 or 4 sudden acceleration incidents with my 1996 toyota camry during the first 5 years of ownership. no accidents resulted. i can't give the exact dates (ignore the incident date i entered below; i just put a date in at random since it's a required entry). it's been over a year since the last one. all occurred as i started to brake in a very slow-moving situation - two definitely happening while parking, coming to a stop before the incident. however, when touching the brake pedal to reverse direction or stop, there was a confusing surge as my instinct was to question whether i had touched the accelerator rather than brake and thus take off my foot - the worst action. in all cases, i had enough time to realize that i did have my foot on the brake and pushed down forcefully which stopped the acceleration. i asked my mechanic to check this out, but unless he could replicate the situation, no diagnosis was possible. given the randomness of these occurences, the probablility of a replication is pretty close to zero. the one common thread in these incidents: they occurred following a long road trip during which i was using cruise control for extended periods, though in none of the incidents, was the cruise control on. i am sending this now as i learned you are looking into such incidents and thought you would want to build a record. i believe there are far more incidents like this that never get reported because they end safely; a solicitation of such incidents from those like myself who simply remain puzzled over them would yield a much larger data base. thank you.*ak | |||

| #1 - discovered wind noise from an incomplete seal in right rear quarter glass of vehicle, one month after purchase. took vehicle into del toyota(dealer), who said they resealed the window. noise from said window continued, at higher speeds above 30mph. i took vehicle back into dealer one month later. this time, they said they replaced the weatherstrip around the window, that the wind noise had been caused by deformed weatherstrip. this was done while vehicle was under warranty, never to my satisfaction. condition exists today, 05/29/2002!! #2 - disc brakes were serviced by jerry's toyota in baltimore, after making a sticking noise right before the vehicle completely stopped. the dealer replaced the front pads, machined the rotors, and serviced the left front caliper after he found it sticking. this did not alleviate the problem with the brake noise, which continues today (05/29/2002) even after a second servicing! #3 - engine light came on, so i took the toyota camry into jerry's toyota for servicing. they cleaned carbon deposits from injectors, throttle plate valves and piston rings; said the problem was in the #3 cylinder. this happened a second time; i took the vehicle in for servicing. i am now waiting for either a third incident at $200. to fix, or if they replace any fuel injectors, these cost $200. ea per part!!*ak | |||

| In hot weather after about 100 or 200 miles the cruise control on our 1996 toyota camry would fail and would cause the vehicle to speed up until the cruise was turned off. other times the cruise would just fail and drop out unexpectedly. either event could be hazardous so we stopped using the cruise control. we went to the toyota dealer twice when this first happened while the vehicle was still under warranty and they refused to do anything about it because we were unable to demonstrate the problem immediately. today we did a recall search on the internet about this problem and found the problem did exist on most 1996 camry but our vin number did not fit their listing. vin# 4tibf12k6tu130921 today we went back to the toyota dealer where we bought the car new on 3/14/1996, but they would do nothing for us. the dealer is rinke toyota 25420 vandyke centerline, mi 48015 586-758-2000. we also called the toyota customer service 800 number before contacting you but they were not helpful. please help us resolve this safety issue. thank you. laurent a. boulet. *nm | |||
