| My daughter was traveling north at 40 mph, and she turned around briefly to check if her little brother was buckled in his seat belt. when she turn back around the car was on the curve and she slammed on the brakes as hard as she could to stop the car, but the car wouldn't stop and preceded to accelerate. she went through partially two brick walls, knocked down a stop and street sign, and the car flipped a couple of times. the car ended up landing on the passenger side, leaving the car left side up. my daughter suffered injuries to the neck, back, and her knees were cut from the glass of the window in a result of the car crashing. luckily, my son suffered no injuries. i am very concerned, why did the brakes fail in my daughter's attempt to stop the vehicle. *tr | |||

| My daughter was on her way to school on the morning of 3/28/2012, when our 1999 toyota camry started to accelerate on its own. my daughter tried to stop the vehicle by pressing the brake as hard as she could but the car continued to accelerate. she put the car in nuteral and the engine's rpm's went to the maximum. the car at that point must have blown a piston rod or valve, oil was spraying inside the engin compartment. she made an attempt to bump the accelerator pedal several times to see if it would release. the car was stalled on a main street with emergency flashers on. she again tried to start the car and rpm's went to the max and the at that point smoke started rising from under the hood. several people came to see what was going on and tried to help traffic move around the vehicle. i arrived at my daughters location and with the help of others pushed the car several hundered feet into a residental drive way. i have now towed the car back to my home and need help to determine what the root cause for this failure was. i am very reluctant to make repairs to this vehical knowing that this could happen again. as i review other vehicle acceleration complants for the same make and model, i want other 1999 camry owners to be aware that this type of acceleration problem can and does occur. we are very lucky our daughter did not suffer any injuries or cause any deaths with this vehicle. the final mileage is at around 162,000. | |||

| I reported this to complaints.com on 11/12/2005 but wanted to also submit it to you due to all of the news lately. in november 2005, my parents were driving their 1999 camry and pulling slowing into a parking spot. just as they were about to complete parking and only going less than a mile per hour, their car accelerated very fast, left the curb and crashed into a building. we asked about if sudden acceleration could be investigated at this time but were told it couldn't. the car was totaled. my mom was injured (blunt force trauma to her chest) but recovered fairly soon after. she did go to the er. my dad, who was driving, was ok but following the accident was stressed due to worry about my mom's injury and having their car totaled since he was sure he hadn't done anything wrong.. the airbag did not deploy. my dad is sure he did not hit the gas by mistake and my mom agrees that he didn't hit the gas either. *tr | |||

| Not severe - but this is an older toyota and i want the problem logged. my car does lurch in sudden accelerations, but it has never been severe. i have only noticed when i am stopped at a light, and in reverse. when i am stopped with my foot on the brake, the car engine suddenly revs. but i'm always clamped down hard on the brake, so there has never been a problem there. while in reverse, i have also had sudden acceleration, but minor and it only lasts for a second. but it does happen. since it wasn't happening all the time, the dealership could never find a problem with it. *tr | |||

| On numerous occasions, my 1999 toyota camry (4 cylinder) has experienced sudden unintended engine acceleration. i detected that this seems to occur when i am coasting towards a light before a hill, that the engine will speed up on its own and begin accelerating the car. applying pressure on the brake stopped the car in most cases, but once i ended up accelerating and could not stop the car until i hit some bushes on the side of the road. it also happens when i was making a turn on several occasions that the acceleration increased on its own. i am reporting this now as with the news about toyota camry's, i believe the 1999 models have the same problem. the last date that this occurred to me was feb 28, 2010, but it has been happening a few times per year for five years. *tr | |||

| I purchased a new toyota camry in november 1999. in 2004 (the car has fewer than 45,000 miles on it), while traveling on a local highway, the accelerator became stuck. luckily, we were traveling at a low rate of speed, because we had just accelerated after leaving a red light. the driver (a friend) kept her wits and put the car in neutral, then steered into an empty lot where she shut off the engine. at this point the car's rpms were redlining. when i called toyota to report the incident i was told that i was at fault - that i should have had the accelerator serviced. i asked if there were instructions in the owners manual that warned owners to have the accelerator serviced.did the owners manual disclose that the accelerator would stick? the answer was no. i then contacted toyota by email and fully described what had happened. they assigned me a case number and sent me a coupon for $500 off my next toyota. needless to say i got rid of the car. until 2005 i kept all the information, but my home was flooded in katrina and i no longer have the documents. when i heard about the recalls i felt that someone should know that this accelerator problem has existed for a very long time and toyota was very aware of it. the toyota dealership did repair work for the problem. *tr | |||

| I drive a 1999 toyota camry. my car's gas pedal also has similar problem as stated in the recent recalls. the problem occurs more often when waiting at a stop signal/sign and while trying to accelerate from zero. the gas pedal gets stuck and requires me depress the pedal harder resulting in sudden acceleration and after causing some frustration for drivers behind me. i even called up toyota and they are stating since my car is not part of the recall they would not fix it under the recall. however, i think my gas pedal problem is the initial phase of the overall problem and is very similar to problems stated by many consumers with this issue. also, i am afraid that drivers behind me would begin accelerating the moment they see the green signal and may not realize that my car in front of them is still at a standstill. this problem could result in an very serious accident. my car can be hit by the car behind me and fatally affecting my spouse and child sitting in the rear seat. can you please make toyota take immediate action and fix the problem in my car? *cn | |||

| About one year ago, i began to notice the accelerator pedal was intermittently sticky when i depress it. sometimes i have to practically punch it with my foot before it finally gives way, causing the car to lurch forward. it continues to happen to this day. some days it doesn't happen at all, and some days it happens every time i come to a full stop and then try to step on the gas again. i have never done anything to correct or repair it, because until this current recall, i viewed it more as a nuisance problem. thus far it has never gotten stuck in the depressed position. according to the current terms of the recall, my car is not included. however, the information released today about this current recall leads me to believe that my sticky accelerator may be related to the recall and certainly warrants investigation. *tr | |||

| The gas pedal sticks when you first start and then drive the vehicle. the manufacturer knows this and suggest cleaning the throttle body every 15000 miles. they charge $25 to do this if that is all you have done. when the problem occurs you have to press down on the gas pedal hard to get it to release. this is obviously very dangerous. i have told my toyota dealer many times about this problem. the problem seams to alleviate itself after you have driven a few miles. the incident date below is just one date this occurred. it is a constant problem. i also own a 1993 toyota camry and it has the same problem. *jb | |||
