| Was parking my 2007 toyota camry in parking lot between two cars when my car suddenly accelerated causing me to hit two cars in the spaces adjacent to the parking space i was entering. these cars were in front of the space i was entering. this occurred after recall repairs to the gas pedal were made on 2/11/10. *tr | |||

| I no longer own this vehicle, but it was a 1996 toyota corolla, and i hope the information i provide here can help somehow with any current investigations. around 100,000 miles, i took my car to a non-dealer mechanic to replace my timing belt as a matter of maintenance. after this replacement, my cruise control never worked again, and i noticed that in moments of deceleration (either in braking or coasting) that the engine would suddenly race and i could feel the gas pedal pull from its resting position. please note that the model i've indicated is inaccurate -- i don't recall what the model was as i no longer own the vehicle. i've been as specific as i can be. i just thought it might prove useful. the incident date is also inaccurate as this occurred frequently enough to notice, but not often enough or severely enough to warrant my taking to a dealer. *tr | |||

| The drivers side seat belt in my 2005 sienna (toyota) folds over and will not retract. the added slack and lack of retraction is a serious safety problem. this has been an ongoing problem since the car was less than a year old. it seems to have worsened lately. *tr | |||

| 2010 toyota prius: had the car for several months and really enjoy driving it...okay, i like the mileage, it's not a corvette though. have noticed on rough pavement and potholes that the brakes do seem to give a little. however on 19 feb 10 i hit the brakes to stop and it felt like the simply made a grinding sound and barely slowed at all...the harder i pressed the less the seemed to apply. these cars are dangerous and should be removed from the roads until toyota fixes this and proves the problem is corrected...i will not drive it until they do so... *tr | |||

| 1. traveling at about 45-55 miles per hour, gas pedal sticks. also, the dealer sold me the car with out a driver floor mat. since i purchased the car in 2007, i've noticed a gradual erosion of the floor mat beneath my right foot and just below the gas pedal. there is now a hole in the carpet and an indentation in the floor of the car. also, there is a small toggle type object jutting out from under the carpet just below the gas pedal 2. it occurs every time i drive the car. 3. nothing has been done to correct the failure. *tr | |||
