Defect SummaryToyota is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 avalon, model year 2007-2010 camry, model year 2009-2010 corolla, corolla matrix, rav4, model year 2010 highlander, model year 2008-2010 sequoia, and model year 2007-2010 tundra vehicles. due to the manner in which the friction lever interacts with the sliding surface of the accelerator pedal inside the pedal sensor assembly, the sliding surface of the lever may become smooth during vehicle operation. in this condition, if condensation occurs on the surface, as may occur from heater operation (without a/c) when the pedal assembly is cold, the friction when the accelerator pedal is operated may increase, which may result in the accelerator pedal becoming harder to depress, slower to return, or, in the worst case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position.
Consequence SummaryThe accelerator pedal may become hard to depress, slow to return to idle, or, in the worst case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryDealers will install a reinforcement bar in the accelerator pedal which will allow the pedal to operate smoothly. gm will notify owners for the pontiac vibe please see 10v-018. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin early february and will be completed in late april 2010. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Defect SummaryToyota is recalling certain model year 2004-2010 passenger vehicles. the accelerator pedal can get stuck in the wide open position due to its being trapped by an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat.
Consequence SummaryA stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
Corrective SummaryToyota filed an amended defect report on november 25, 2009, stating that dealers will modify the accelerator pedal and, on certain vehicles, alter the shape of the floor surface under the pedal. these changes address the risk of pedal entrapment due to interference with the floor mat. redesigned accelerator pedals will become available beginning in april 2010 and dealers will replace any modified pedal with the new pedal if desired. also, dealers will replace any genuine toyota or lexus all-weather floor mats with redesigned all-weather mats, or repurchase the previous mats from owners who do not want the new ones. additionally, software modifications will be installed on camry, avalon and lexus es 350, is 350 and is 250 models that will ensure that the brake overrides the accelerator in the event both brake and accelerator pedals are applied. toyota will begin mailing letters to owners in december 2009. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331, lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

 I have a toyota camry 2009. my car went through the recall services, toyota had for the acceleration problems through one of their dealers. however, on 02/08/2013, i was involved in an accident, wherein i felt this problem myself. on a busy road i may have been driving between 35-40 mph, when all of a sudden, when i applied brakes, my car wouldn't stop but accelerated to maybe double the speed and hit the car in front of me. it appeared as if there are no brakes in the car.the impact was so severe, that i am still nervous and shaken up with the incident. the person driving the car i hit, thought i was speeding. but it definitely was the acceleration problem. this problem has not yet resolved and could lead to many more accidents. i have reported this problem to toyota dealership and on their suggestion to the toyota customer experience team. i was extremely lucky, that there were no physical injuries in the accident, but it could have been fatal. *tr

 Prior to these incidents, the vehicle was checked by the dealer on their recall. i was traveling on a 2 lane highway at 60 mph with the cruise control on. i approached a slight incline in the road and the transmission downshifted as normal. tachometer went from 2000 rpm to 3000 rpm. then suddenly there was a sudden uncontrollable acceleration in which the engine revved up to 4500 rpm and the engine was screaming as though it was about to blow apart. my foot was not in contact with the accelerator pedal. the floor mat had been removed per the dealer instructions. i immediately put my foot on the brake pedal which stopped the sudden acceleration. if this had been on a wet highway or in traffic there would surely have been an accident. this same incident has occurred 4 times within the last 6 months. i took the vehicle back to the dealer and they reported that there was nothing wrong and they could not replicate the problem. after several conversations with toyota, they said that they will make a record of my incidents but, toyota will do nothing to fix the problem. this had to have been caused by the cruise control system or the computer/software controlling it.

 I own a 2009 toyota camry hybrid purchased new 4/3/2008. at the end of march, 2009, i had the first of four (thus far) accelerator runaway events. i was able to stop the car by applying extremely hard brake pressure with both feet, taking several seconds to stop the car as it fish-tailed wildly on the road. a couple of days later, it happened again. my car was at the dealership 4/3/2009. they told me this accelerator runaway was caused by my floor mat causing the gas pedal to stick. i removed the floor mat. approximately 6 weeks later, the accelerator runaway event happened twice more. the floor mat was not in the car. i have called toyota, been treated like i was delusional and then as the public outcry/press releases began later in 2009, contacted toyota again. i finally got my scheduled recall (at my persistance--the dealerships never called me to schedule this) then after i requested details of the planned recall changes, i found out after my appointment they said my vehicle qualified only for them to cut down my gas pedal. no shim assembly to the gas pedal and no software update as i was told you already have the most current software. really?! my now mutilated gas pedal allows my foot to constantly slip off of it while driving as it is so small. i am scared of my vehicle as there was never a warning pre-accelerator runaway & there is no fix either. not that i would trust toyota at this point. i have copies of all service tickets, including the 4/3/2009 ticket with my complaint of the gas pedal sticking written on it. this is available to you as well as a detailed four page letter outlining every step of my events. i sent an email & rec'd a response from you, titled notification of case change/case escalation, case no. 245586. i called in & spoke with a representative and he gave me a case no. too. telephone call case #10320545. please advise my next step. thank you.

 On march 9, 2010 i took my 09 toyota camry in for the floormat recall and to have the cruise control looked at for an acceleration issue. when the cruise control slows down it will kick into about 5,000 rpm's for about 10 seconds and put me at least 10 mph over the speed i set it to. (which is usually when i turn it off!!!) when i picked my car up at the end of the day i noticed that my gas pedal has been shaved off at the bottom making it very short and difficult to drive with plus my floor mats had not been modified as i was told they should have been. i was also told that the problem with my cruise control could not be duplicated but to bring my car back if i have problems in the future. i was then told that it is 'normal' for toyota cars to rapidly accelerate with the cruise control on (at 5,000 rpms??? really???)and that a 5-8 mph difference in the speed you set the cruise control at is also 'normal'. i just looked up the kbb on my car and think i might be able to get out of it without a loss. i am seriously considering it. *tr

 While merging onto i-5 i pushed the resume speed selection on speed control. the car sped up and exceeded the preset speed of 59 mph and reached 80 mph. neither applying the brakes or pushing the speed controls on/off switch turned the speed control off. i turned the key off and on to control the steering and used the parking brake to get the car to the shoulder. this was a very freighting experience so i just sat there for a while. i started the car and the engine a couple times and rpms went to the red line. the floor mat was laying flat and hooked. i looked under hood and nothing looked unusual. i started the engine again and it ran normally. i phoned the dealer's service dept, and they said it was probably the floor mats and a recall notice was in the works. we have driven the car about 5000 miles since incident, but we don't use the speed control. i am scheduled to have the accelerator pedal replaced this week. *tr

 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. *tr

 On march 1 at 5:15pm i was on i-295 headed home and my 2009 toyota camry le accelerated after i had all three recalls done at the toyota of waldorf. as i was coming up to a s500 mercedes i attempted to slow my car down once i pressed the brake, i felt the car switched to a higher gear, i continues to press the brake as hard as i could, finally i pulled off the road to the left into the grass where i then threw it in neutral until it slowed down. i then cut it off and called toyota to complain. the service manager asked would i like it towed and i replied what do you think? i explained to her that i had all the recalled done on my car and i don't understand how this happened. after they towed my car the next morning i called to complain to the gm they then transfer me over to another service manager after i waited for the gm for several minutes. this service manager tells me they are trying to figure out what's wrong and offered me a rental car. i went to pick up the rental and i realized after i got home that there were several different models not just mine that were involved in this recall so i decided to look up this 2010 tacoma that they gave me and sure enough it was on the list. i decided to park this car and ride to the metro which drops me off half of a mile from my job. i would rather take this hassle than to drive any of these recall vehicles from toyota. i have a family that i have to protect and if this is how the toyota family care for its customers then i choose to not deal with this family in the future. i am requesting from toyota that they put me in a car of equal value even if its used and one that is not on the recall list. to all that have a recall model from toyota i recommend that you be very cautious of the repairs done and drive even safer than before. i have been on the phone twice today with the corporate office attempting to speak with someone and both times i was placed on hold for 30 minutes and still couldn't reach anyone. *tr

 Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) hello, i'm [xxx] from u.s. army. my car, toyota camry 2009, had a same problem with that sudden acceleration back in 2008. the car was, of course, brand new, and i had that same experience - all of sudden acceleration. it was after i was finished the all duties for the day, and i was head to my home. when i just drove on the highway, the rpm went up so quickly and suddenly, and even i stepped on the brakes several times. but the rpm had never been go down and stop. so i made the decision to make the transmission shift to neutral, and it worked at that time. at that time, i was in like country side in fort gordon, georgia, and now i'm in south korea to perform the duty here. at that time of that incident, i thought it could happen maybe one time.. very one time.. however, when i read the current newspaper article.. i feel very terrible about this.. because now my wife and my 3year old son ride in toyota camry.. (that's the only one car in our household).. what if there would be a same happening to my wife and my son.. i was o.k. because the highway i drove on was almost no traffic.. as i mentioned earlier, i lived in country side ft. gordon, georgia.. but after i got the duty station in south korea, i relocated my family back to los angeles county, california.. (that's where i came from) i know my wife once told me.. she felt little bit more acceleration when she drove toward down slope.. she had to do the samething, put the transmission shift to the neutral.. what if this kind of incident would be happened in a heavy traffic.. man.. i wish that i would have a total solution for this.. i know that i can't return the car, right? *tr

 I was on a job assignment in napa valley, california. i had a rental toyota camry from national car rental. i don't have vin but license was ca. i was driving north of pt reyes on hwy 1 and decided to stop at a scenic area. i took a left off the hwy into the parking area. i was braking and approaching a parking area surrounded by large timbers as parking guards. i was nearly stopped at the timber, braking and preparing to put the transmission into park. my car suddenly lurched forward over the timber, engine roaring. because i had been preparing to put the transmission into park and did this, the car engine accelerated severely and died. my first thought was that i had been struck from behind and thrust forward but there were no other cars or witnesses. i was able to restart the car, rock a bit and move backwards off the timber. i was bewildered by the strange behavior of the car and didn't connect this event to the recent toyota problems until the recalls and tv reports. i now am sure this was an event of rapid acceleration. i was fortunate in that i had my foot on the brake and had been almost stopped when the lurch forward occurred. after experiencing this, i don't believe the problem had anything to do with the accelerator since my foot was on the brake, not the accelerator. i really wonder if electronic cross-talk has been ruled out as this problem seemed to be very related to electronics. *tr

 Camry accelerates when it should be decelerating. perhaps more of a gear-head than most women, i recognized a slight acceleration in my camry as i let it slow down when approaching a stop. here in the prairies of illinois, a car will normally, decelerate gradually once you've removed your foot from the gas pedal and before applying a brake. however, shortly after buying my 2007 camry with 22k miles, i noticed it would slightly accelerate as it changed from a higher gear to a lower gear. i reported this problem to my toyota service dept and they reprogrammed the computer. this did seem to fix this problem, though it had to be done twice, and it is beginning to show signs again. other problems associated with this was the overly long sound of a higher rpm. it seems it should change gears (if it was a manual transmission, i would have changed gears) one hears the rpm and engine droning at a high level for an excessive period of time without shifting. i can just tell by hearing that there is an unnatural problem with the acceleration. i define natural as the former experience of knowing that the gas pedal controls the mechanical nature of the carburetor. it just seems that now there is something that supersedes or overrides that natural connection between human control and carburetor. one can tell that the system has a mind of its own, and that system is susceptible to error or environment (temperature or humidity) or driving conditions. i wrote toyota a note at least a month ago that i doubted that the acceleration problem was b/c of pedal sticking and shared my story. oddly, my car does not need the pedal repaired even though it is in the same year and plant where the problem existed. however, my car still has something oddly wrong with it. i can't help but think they are connected. thank you for listening. *tr

 I purchased a toyota camry 2009 in august of 2009; i notice immediately sudden acceleration several times while driving at average 55 mph in a highway with increasing in speed without stepping in the gas pedal; i could hear a low pitch sound like a cordless drill will sound like and eventually the speed will increase at first got really scared of the sudden acceleration specially when approaching cars in the highway, several times i had to step in the break pedal with force to kind of kill the boost. i also notice that in the surface street experience this jerkingness kind of like a wild bull that wants to push forward without inserting energy to move forward it happen several times while in stop signs or waiting to merge in the flow of traffic; again what i will do is forcefully step in the brake to stop the sudden acceleration. after driving the vehicle for more than 5 months i can predict the behavior and thankfully abort the sudden acceleration. but many times it does scares me specially when approaching cars ahead. i have a family of 5 with 3 small children. my spouse and kids do not want to ride in the car with me for the reasons stated above. *tr

 I am having a toyota camry 2009. when i was on cruise control and runs at 60miles/hr, the rpm is about 1500 rpm. during the cruise control, the rpm may accelerate to about 3000 rpm in less than 10 seconds, then immediately the rpm goes back to 1500 rpm again. during this rpm change, the speed reading remains at 60 miles/hr. the incidents happens unexpected. it seems happen more often when on up hill even with very mild slope. it also happens when it runs on very flat road. when the incident happens, it feel that the vehicle is out of control and feel very jerky. it's quite scary. i complained this to my toyota dealer with my regular maintainence quite some months ago, they said they would look into it. after quite some hours, they said that they could not replicate the incident and can not do anything about it. the way they test is to drive in metro area for about 10 mins, which is obviously not the situation i am complaining about. they said they would not do a cruise control driver for 2 hours according to their test driver procedure. they even do not able to escalate this issue to toyota manufactures! such situation happens when the car comes to me brand new. i feel desperate to communicate my concerns through toyota dealer yet every day i have such security concerns. i hope you guys can seriously look into this issue with the recent toyota recall. the floor mat explaination is rediculous and the recent gas pedal is probably still not the root cause. please take this concerns seriously and i hope that such concerns may become public and aware to the consumers and toyota. a fix is a must. thank you. btw, the approximate incident date in this complaint is the last time that i dared to use cruise control. such incident actually happens almost everytime when i used cruise control. *tr

 I purchased a 2009 camry hybrid this past summer and within a month, noticed problems with occasional braking and acceleration issues. i originally thought that perhaps this was the hybrid technology, but at times i have experienced some near misses and have been very concerned with the recent reports of lost life. i filed a complaint on the toyota.com website on february 9th, 2010 and have received no response since then. i am disappointed that the camry hybrid was not included with the latest prius recall and feel that toyota needs to investigate what i believe to be a software/electronics issue. i have been in software development and sales for the past 15 years and have never been in a car accident since receiving my license. but since purchasing this car, my first toyota, i do not feel as safe as i have in my gm's and ford's over the years. what i am experiencing is a forward lurch when braking from 50 mph to a quick stop/traffic light and the gas engine is engaged. when brake is applied, the car slows, then there is a quick revving of the engine, then an upshift prior to a downshift when the electronics/battery takes over. this has caused some near misses from a rear end collision, as the car appears to stop, but then lurches forward. i have also experienced this forward lurch, when accelerating at higher speeds (30-50 mph)from a stop light, as if there is a delay between the electronics to the gas engine. this has caused the car to accelerate rapidly on occasion, causing me to brake to slow it down. please have this software defect looked into, as i believe this recent recall should include the camry hybrids as well and as soon as possible. *tr

 Vehicle (2009 camry xle) does not de-accelerate immediately when taking your foot off the accelerator no matter what the speed. this occurrence was first noticed in the fall the summer of 2009. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (balise toyota w. spfld, ma) on jan. 5 2010. the problem was pointed out to the dealer and i was told there was no problem and that the situation was normal. on feb. 22, 2010 i again brought the vehicle back to the same dealership for the recall for modification of driver side floor carpet, fuel pedal modification and installation of a part described as ssc. after taking receipt of the vehicle on feb. 22, 2010 the accelerator still does not respond immediately to de-accelerate. *tr

 Below you will find the email that i sent to toyota on february 7, 2010 as well as the response i received. to this date i have not received any other communication from toyota. i truly believe that one of these safety recalls led to my car accident in november, 2009. my vehicle was included in both the floor mat and accelerator recalls. discussion thread customer 02/07/2010 09:51 am i had a car accident 11-30-09 which resulted in the total loss of my 2009 camry le [xxx]. due to the closed head injury i received, i am unable to recall the accident. however, viewing the accident report, it appears my vehicle was traveling much faster than i travel on this roadway. it was noted that my side airbag did not deploy when my vehicle struck a tree on the drivers side door. due to the recalls, i am now concerned that one of the recall issues was the cause of my accident. my car is now at a salvage yard near atlanta, ga. and i feel that toyota should be concerned enough to check my car for defects. i bought this car based on your reputation for dependability and safety, and now due to the recalls, i can't imagine buying another toyota. perhaps my greatest concern are media reports that toyota has been aware of these problems for quite some time and chose not to notify owners. i now have to wonder about this companies ethics. date: sunday, february 7, 2010 12:51 pm from: ask toyota subject: safety shortcomings [incident: 100207-000212] thank you for contacting toyota motor sales, u.s.a., inc. we appreciate your consideration and hope to have your email addressed as quickly as possible. our current office hours are monday through friday from 5 am to 6 pm and saturday 7 am to 4 pm pacific time. if you need immediate assistance, we recommend you contact the customer relations manager at your local toyota dealership. *tr

 When attempting to brake i have occasionally had my vehicle accelerate instead of stopping. this is extremely frightening and i no longer feel safe in my vehicle, especially in light of recent news reports documenting wide spread defects for my particular model. even when the car does not accelerate while i attempt to brake, there is a delay in the response of the braking system which is a danger in itself. my natural reflex when this happens is to step on the brake peddle with more force and more frequency which, i believe, causes excessive wear and tear on the braking system. braking/engine problem with 2009 toyota camry. *tr

 Was driving on the freeway. car had cruise control on and i stepped on the brakes and disengaged it and continued driving. when i pressed the resume button to get back on cruise control, the car accelerated about 7 mph past the set speed and i had to slam on the brakes and repeatedly press the c.c. cancel button to stop extra acceleration. i understand some people may think it's the car speeding up to get to the speed quickly, which it did, but then it just kept accelerating and the motor was whining like it was really trying to race off. this happened about a half a dozen times before i stopped using the c.c. all together. when i called the dealership i was told it was that the car was zippy because it was a v6 and it is the cruise control speeding up to the last set speed. no parts were ever fixed on it. i ended up selling it last year after owning it around 9 months. *tr

 I have a 2009 camry. i know about the recall for the acceleration problem. this is a similar problem that is different, but actually could be related perhaps. if i set my cruise control for example at 65 (or any speed) and i brake the cruise control deactivates. if i slow to lets say 35 to go through town, and then hit resume, the car accelerates very fast until it gets to 65 again. this acceleration is so fast that you often need to re-brake to re establish control of the car. this has been a constant problem with the 2009 camry. i have another vehicle dodge that gradually gains speed when i hit resume and have had a 96 camry with cruise that had a gradual return to the preset speed. the cruise control on the camry is dangerous and far faster than i would ever accelerate from 35 to 65 on my own. *tr

 Twice within a week my gas pedal did not release, resulting in a continued acceleration for my 2009 camry hybrid. first time was on an exit ramp where i release pressure on the pedal to slow down but it did not move for a few seconds. the second time was pulling out and needing to quickly accelerate, i then released pressure, but the car continued to increase in speed. both times i move the floor mat toward my seat, and the second time required shifting the car into neutral. after the second incident, i took my car to the dealer who sold it to me and reported the above. they looked at the mat and secured it with clips that were not there before. this was prior to the pedal recalls. *tr

 I was in a 2009 toyota camry that was involved in a crash. i was in a 35 miles zone, going uphill and well within the limit, but when i applied the brakes, the car didn't really slow down enough to not crash into the vehicle that didn't yield at the traffic signal. i didn't think much about it then, since the other driver admitted fault, but it could possibly have been because of a defect with the car's acceleration. thankfully no one sustained any significant injuries since the airbags got deployed in the camry. i wouldn't have thought much of the incident, but the news of the recalls just makes me believe that the problem was with the car's acceleration and nothing else. *tr

 On 2/01/10 at approximately 8:00 am i was driving my toyota on the washington dc beltway 495 north from virginia. i was nearing 270 north and decided i had better change lanes to stay on my intended route on 495. looking in the rearview mirror i saw a tractor-trailer was in the right hand lane next to me and i needed some rapid acceleration to get ahead of the truck so i stamped on the accelerator. i stamped much harder than i normally would do. immediately my accelerator stuck to the floor and the car accelerated from approximately 65 to over 85 miles an hour. i had seen a tv report on the nbc station in dc that advised if your toyota accelerator sticks apply both feet to the brake pedal and hold it. i forgot the hold it part and i started to pump the brake, which had no effect. i also remembered that the next thing to try was put the car in neutral. this i did and the acceleration stopped immediately. i was able to coast the car off into an area, a triangle between the right lane of the beltway and an oncoming lane. i then turned off the car and physically reached down and pulled the accelerator back up. it popped up like a spring. i then restarted the car and continued to work. i remembered that on long trip recently to atlanta that one other time it felt like the accelerator stuck, but that time it was momentary a few seconds. on 2/21/10 the accelerator stayed down i am guessing a good 20-30 seconds before i remembered to put the car in neutral. when i got to work i called toyota usa to report the problem and they told me my car was not covered by the recall and that i should call a dealer. i called my dealer and he told me there were no parts available or even made for the camry hybrid and that he would just have to replace the accelerator assembly with the same part. he said they haven't made any new parts for the hybrid. did not sound like they cared. *tr

 When starting from a complete stop and beginning acceleration, and sometimes when trying to quickly accelerate while moving forward, the car will hesitate and not accelrate for about 1/2 to one second while the car is slowing moving into traffic. this is a significant safety issue particularly when turning and crossing traffic and when merging with traffic on a freeway. this is a frequent occurance, but does not seem to follow any particular pattern other than it occurs here and there when accelerating. i took the car back to the dealer within a couple of weeks of buying it and they said that it was functioning fine. i looked on the internet and found that they are many others that have complained about acceleration hesitation issues with the toyota camry who also took their cars back to the dealer and received the same response that i did that it was functioning normally. though i feel that this is a significant safety risk with the car, i feel that my only recourse, since toyota says it is running fine, is to essentially avoid all situations where sudden quick acceleration is required. wiith the number of reports on the internet matching my exact problem i feel that this is an issue that needs to be looked into with at least 2009 toyota camrys. *tr

 This concerns the current toyota sudden acceleration problem and my interpretation of the mechanism that may be at work causing these intermittent events. these cars involved have toyota's new fly-by-wire ignition and throttle control system, not the old manual throttle controls. the acceleration events may be coming from stray rf or electro-static discharge (esd) causing an electrical state change in one of the throttle control chip registers which then causes the sudden acceleration. the problem could also be caused by the same rf or esd, but only affect electrical control units in cars that have developed bad ground paths (which allow static charge to build up until it arcs over and zaps a chip) testing for this type for electrical fault must be done under conditions that accelerate the failure mode, ie under conditions that enhance esd occurrence and/or stray rf while changing the resistance of the ground paths to the throttle control module. as a reference point, request toyota's history on all warranty replaced failed electrical modules involved in/with throttle control for these recalled cars. a hard esd event may cause complete module failure and hence a warranty record. a soft esd event may cause state changes on the module chips. a comparatively high module replacement rate would be cause to investigate them and do fema stripback analysis on failed warranty units. *tr

 I was proceeding north bound on meadowbrook pkwy, in my 2009 toyota camry. i intended to go west on southern state pkwy. i had to make a legal left turn from meadowbrook pkwy, onto a curved entrance roadway. the caution sign instructed a 50 mph speed limit for this left turn. i was driving less than 50 mph. i applied my brakes to slow down, at that point. my car sped up rather than slowing down. i lost total control of my toyota. i am not certain of the order, but i swayed left, right, and spun around-- all several times. i crossed the entire 3 lanes on southern state pkwy. and nearly collided with the steel road dividers. my toyota's front and rear were heavily damaged. my car was totaled. at the same time, my car struck a commercial limo who made an attempt to save me on the hwy, thankfully. the worst part of this accident is that i could have been killed and it could have been my last day. *tr

 Whom it may concern: my wife and i bought our 2009 camry for safety. so we could feel safe taking our children to their sporting events, school, etc. we have been experiencing the throttle sticking issue. the entire time we have had the car. first at 10,000 miles, 18,000 miles, 33,123 miles, 36,000 miles, and 38,500. my wife took the car in the third time at 33,123 miles to thompson toyota in edgewood md insisting it wasn't the floor mats. they insisted it was the floor mats even though my wife said other wise. the ran a diagnostic on the problem and couldn't find anything. they blamed it on a dirty air filter and carbon build up on the throttle body. my wife requested to be taken back and be shown this, they refused to show her the dirty throttle body. tompson toyota wanted to charge my wife $200 to perform this service. she called me and i told her to bring the car home. the fifth time it happened at 38,500 miles on the car. my wife and i were driving to the grocery story when the car accelerated to 80mph. on the last two occasions this happened the floor mats were out.*cw

 While driving home with my wife in her 2009 toyota camry le and approaching a traffic controlled intersection that was still some distance away, we suddenly traveled the distance to the intersection very quickly and by the time i was able to slow the vehicle down, we were in the middle of the intersection. the result was a collision with another vehicle crossing the intersection. the other vehicle was not significantly damaged, but our vehicle was a total loss. thankfully, there were no injuries. at the time, the most reasonable explanation appeared to be inclement weather; [it happened during a strong rain storm]. we assumed that what seemed like a very rapid traversing of distance and the unresponsiveness of the vehicle was due to poor visibility and slippage. yet i remember remarking to my wife that the vehicle had appeared to accelerate on its own, but i had no way of confirming this. i am now convinced that this was actually the cause. *tw

 My 2007 toyota camry le was rear-ended at around 40-50 miles per hour and it was pushed into the car in front of me. so i was struck from the back and then the front. the other two cars' airbags deployed but mine did not. i notice there are front and side tests done on cars but never when one is rear-ended. i went to the emergency room with a headache and stiffness in my neck and was diagnosed with whiplash - head and back. everyone i've mentioned this to wondered why my airbags did not deploy. can you tell me if it should have? fortunately my seatbelt worked and restrained me and i did not bump my head on anything other than the headrest. just wondering if i should be concerned that my airbag did not deploy. oh, and my just-paid off camry was totaled -- over $12,000 in damages so i have to buy another car and wondering if i should consider another vehicle. i feel fortunate that i was able to walk away from the incident though there is no more truck so to speak left on my car. i'd like to get another camry but need to know if the lack of airbag deployment is important to consider when buying another car. also, i have been hearing that the floor mat recall on the toyotas from 2007 -2010 is not really a floor mat issue but an electrical one that toyota is not telling us about. what do you know about this? *tr

 My boyfriend and i were on i-94 in michigan when my parents' 2009 camry accelerated out of control. a semi truck was merging onto the expressway, so my boyfriend hit the accelerator to give the truck enough room. we were using cruise control at the time going about 70 mph, but the car continued to accelerate at a speed in excess 90 mph after the break was applied once we got around the truck. the engine was revving very loudly at this point. the break did not override the car's acceleration or cruise control even when my boyfriend stood with all of his weight on the break. after several minutes, the car finally stopped accelerating. i took the car to my local toyota dealer, assuming the problem was with the cruise control. the dealer tried to recreate the loss of acceleration control i experienced, but said they were unable to do so. the dealer mechanics inspected the cruise control wiring system, but claimed they found nothing wrong with the car. this event happened in may 2009, well before the recent increase in press coverage relating to similar incidents. *tr
