| Consequence Summary | The 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 Summary | Dealers 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. | |||||||||||||||

| On january 18, 2010 my wife and i bought a toyota camry, se model from arlington toyota, jacksonville, fl. a few months after we bought this vehicle, toyota company recalled this vehicle model due to the possibility that the accelerator gets jammed on the floor mat, which may cause the vehicle to accelerate unintentionally. we took our toyota camry to arlington toyota on july 8, 2010 to resolve the recall problem. we have been driving this vehicle and had been running fine until an accident happened. on june 27, 2012, about 7:00 p.m., my wife and i went to tire plus car care, just west of hodges blvd on atlantic blvd and about a mile from where we live. my wife and i were approaching a parking space in front of the tire plus car care. as she was slowly parking, an unintended acceleration occurred at the speed of about 40 ? 50 miles an hour hitting the curb, the tree and irrigation pipe on the mound of landscape in front of tire plus car care. at home, after we left our vehicle to tire plus to assess the damages on my car, i discussed the accident scenario with my wife. i asked her if she could have possibly hit the accelerator while parking and she firmly said no. her reaction to the sudden acceleration, being so close to the parking curb, was to stop the car and therefore she would have just hit the brake firmly as her right foot was already on the brake while attempting to park. the toyota vehicle recall that might have been turned-in to resolve the accelerator getting stuck on the floor-mat may still have problem of unintended acceleration. my wife and i would like to share and escalate our experience so we could hopefully warn other owners and help prevent possible serious accident that may occur to consumers by a recalled vehicle that unintentionally accelerate. *tr | |||

| My wife drives a 2007 toyota solara and was pulling into a parking space in anastasia plaza in st. augustine, fl and was about to come to a stop a place the car in park when it accelerated over the tire stop, over the curb and through the glass windows and doors and into the sea oats restaurant. she is confident that she never touched the acceleratoras her foot was already on the brake to bring the car to a stop and place in park. there were no prior symptoms of this unexpected acceleration. the air bags did not deploy. the car smashed into the lunch counter, which weighs approx. 2 tons) and pushed it 6 feet. there were rubber marks on the floor on the left side as though the front wheel was slipping as it pushed the counter (picture available). my wife contends that her foot was on the brake the whole time. i contacted toyota as well as my insurance company. toyota did an inspection of the car on 6/7/2010. i am waiting on the results and expect to hear by 6/9/2010. | |||

| I bought a new 2010 camry. i complained to the dealer the very next day that the accelerator pedal was too sensitive and the car was not drivable. i was assured that all accelerator pedal recall modifications were done on the car before the sale. i was still not satisfied. the manager of the shop and i did a test drive and after a detailed discussion of the accelerator pedal and design defects we jointly agreed to try and replace the pedal mechanism with one made - not by the us vendor - but by nippondenso -- toyota's alternate vendor in japan. to my great surprise the accelerator pedal was of a different design and feel. with the nippondenso pedal the foot's position on the pedal is at a much more comfortable angle. but most important of all the response characteristics is a 100% better than the american made pedal. with the us made pedal the car had a step response whilst with the nippondenso pedal it has more of a ramp response. i was told by the dealer's shop manager that the nippondenso made pedal mechanism does not need the spacer or the floor mat modification either. i am surprised that two vendors making the same part for the same manufacturer to the same specifications and drawings have products that are so vastly different. the only thing common between the pedal mechanisms from the two vendors is its mounting on the floor board. where is toyota's quality control? in my opinion there is a strong co-relation between unintended acceleration complaints and the us made accelerator pedal design and its sharp step response. let all those who have a complaint about the unintended acceleration insist on replacing the pedal mechanism made by nippondenso. nhtsa should look into the variations in the design from the two vendors and question as to why toyota has permitted the vendors to design the mechanisms rather than just build it to toyota's specifications | |||

| Toyota camry xle 2010 with 11500 miles is accelerating on its own and it is taking noticeable longer to slow down. check engine light is on and (esc) light is on. however this is not the first time this has happened. the car was taken to the dealer. the first time they said there was debris in the engine however it took them over 30 days to fix it and they did not seem confident they fixed the problem. it is not a consistent problem as it happens unexpectedly. this is not caused by a driver mistake as it can be clearly seen when foot is off the brake and car is in drive that the rpm is higher. sometimes the opposite happens and the car acts as if it is going to stall and shakes very hard. the approx incident date is the last time it was noticed and the car is no longer being driven. * i wonder if there is a possibility that my cell phone that causes interference with my tv and radio causes an interference with the etc system? *tr | |||

| I experienced a runaway acceleration while driving my 2010 camry le v6 (made in japan). while leaving the parking lot of my work place i was trying to pull away from a stop sign and the engine revved out of control. as i tried to pull away from the stop sign the tires slipped because it had just snowed. i gave it a bit more gas to get over the snow when the car started to pull away from the stop sign the engine revved out of control. i pressed and held down on the brake, the car continued to pull forward, i put the car in neutral and the engine was at redline for about 10 more seconds then returned to normal. at no time did i floor the accelerator, it was not stuck. i stepped down on the gas just a bit to clear the snow patch and the engine just revved out of control. i am lucky this didn't happen in traffic, and i knew enough to hold down firm on the brake, or there could have been an accident. *tr | |||

| Toyota camry (rented from hertz ann arbor sheraton). delayed response when removing foot form accelerator pedal. vehicle maintains speed for a very noticeable 1 or 2 seconds. 100% repeatable while driving at highway speed. the vehicle actually remains under power even though the driver has removed the input command. i observed the same delay each time i removed my foot from the accelerator pedal. even being aware of this situation i was caught off guard when a truck changed lanes in front of me. i removed my foot expecting to slow down only to realize that the vehicle continued at speed closing the gap between me and the truck while the truck decelerated. when i removed my foot from pedal and shift into neutral to remove the load, i witnessed the rpm will increase 400-1000 rpm depending on terrain and amount the throttle was depressed to maintain vehicle speed. this rpm spike is brief in duration (1 second or less). i repeated this an estimated 30 times under various grade conditions. (ohio turnpike, i-475, us 23 northbound michigan). the worst case being driving up a slight grade maintaining 2100 rpm. i fully removed my foot from the accelerator pedal, shifted into neutral ,and observed a blip to 3100 rpm. *tr | |||

| The day after purchasing my 2010 camry, the car seemed to ride funny. i felt uneasy but initially thought it may be that it was my first completely new car. this went on for the next few weeks, i.e. the car seeming to jerk or heave, regardless of the speed. i was worried that there was something wrong with the engine and then the lights on the aircondition/heating board stopped working so i thought it was an electrical problem instead. i took it in. the mechanic explained everything away, explained the 'electrical problem', and stated that the heaving feeling i was sensing was that the car was computerized and that it took time for the accelerator to catch up with the signal the computer was giving it, or something like that. he ran an engine check and everything was fine. on my service sheet he simply stated that i had complained about the accelerator hesitating (which i did not), but did not document that i brought the car in complaining that it had electrical problems. a week later there was the recall. when i later called about the recall and continued to complain about the accelerator problem, the serviceman ( a different one) told me that i would feel no change in the way the way the car drove so he would have someone ride with me to try to figure out what i was talking about. the day before taking the car in for the fix, the car slightly accelerated when i was trying to come to a stop. after the fix, a toyota representative rode with me (i let him drive), but the car did appear to ride better after the fix. the car does still feel better than when i first bought it but seems to be gradually getting worse since the fix, e.g. the car occasionally slightly accelerates when i am coming to a stop. *tr | |||

| On 2/12/10 my 2010 toyota camry received an acceleration fix. in addition i was informed a fail-safe computer program was put in. on 2/17/10 as i was entering my parking slot, the car did an unintended sudden acceleration without my foot being on the accelerator. i was pressing the brake. i jammed both feet into the break. after 3 seconds, as my car was climbing up a snow bank, it stopped. the engine was idling while my gear shift was in drive. this is the second level on the fail-safe system. this means that: if both accelerator position sensors fail, or if one throttle position sensor fails, the ecm will...return the engine to idle speed. had the incident happened one minute earlier, i would have been in a high car/pedestrian area and would not have been able to avoid an accident. the whole event took 5-6 seconds before the car suddenly stopped. the fix done by toyota is not the fix for the acceleration problem. updated 03/08/10 *bf *tr | |||

| I am the owner of a 2010 toyota camry which has the defects now under investigation involving out-of-control acceleration of the car. this car presents a serious potential hazard to myself and to others and i will not continue to drive it. toyota needs to be severely dealt with for putting the almighty dollar ahead of providing a safe car that their customers could trust - and for their deception in attempting to hide, cover up, dismiss the problems and not deal with legitimate complaints well before this time. toyota's actions and lack of action has put millions of people at risk to the point of causing multiple deaths and injuries on our highways and roads. a once trusted automobile company has abandoned the principles they must adhere to in building an automobile - first and foremost, providing an automobile that is safe to drive. they have thus abandoned the customer, causing not only death but immense distress among millions of car owners who can no longer trust the car they purchased - at great expense - and now see its value sinking rapidly. my camry has less than 1000 miles on it. i expect and deserve fair compensation for the trust and money that i put into this company for a car that is unsafe to drive. i want my money back! now. *tr | |||

| In august 2009 i purchased a 4-cylinder automatic 2010 toyota camry le. immediately after taking delivery i noticed that the car hesitated when i pressed the accelerator. when i press the accelerator it feels like the engine is not getting sufficient amount of gas and it will stall. it takes a noticeable amount of time for the engine to respond to the demand from the accelerator pedal. upon contacting the dealer i was told that acceleration will smooth out after a couple of weeks. however, seven months later the hesitation is still there. from postings on the internet it appears that this has been an on going issue with camry which toyota has known for many years but instead of fixing the problem the company has tried to address it through tsbs including, but not limited to, eg056-06 and eg036-07. based on my experience with 2010 camry and experience of many other 2010 camry owners posted on the web it is obvious that this problem continues to exist. in addition to being a design flaw it is also a safety hazard because the car does not react normally when the driver presses the accelerator. this is particularly dangerous when merging into traffic or getting on a highway. car | |||

| I purchased a new 2010 toyota camry in oct-2009 and i realized after 2-3 weeks that there is something wrong in there. the rpm goes high (and tries to stay there) when down-shifting even without the leg is off the gas paddle. while i understand that downshifting may increase rpm but then i feel like it wants to stay there by means of some un-intended acceleration. when i realized that there is something wrong, i just ignored the issue because i did not want to take the car to the dealer and let them mess it up further. i thought this is happening because it is a new car. after few miles driven, the issue will go away. but when i learned about the un-intended acceleration in january 2010, i realized that the issue is more serious and i should not ignore any more. i went to dealer but as i expected, they did not take it seriously and told me that the car runs as per design. i went for the recall too but it did not make any difference. being an engineer, i myself have established few simple test cases where one can prove that there is definately something wrong in the car. and if the car runs as per design, then there is something wrong in the design itself. i knew in advance that taking the car to the dealership was not going to work. i purchased a new vehicle so that i can keep on driving it nicely for years to come but i neve expect it to be going to garage for such a serious issue in less than 3 months! i have not received any satisfactory answer/solution to my problem so far. | |||

| I am not a toyota owner, however i believe i am the victim of a toyota accident. yesterday, my car was parked outside of my office at around 10:45 am i hear a crash and see my vehicle (2008 chevy equinox) pick up off the ground. vehicle owner phuong vo, driving a 2010 toyota camry had slammed into the back of my car, and damaged it from front to back, including removing my back axel completely. when i came outside, there was an additional truck following this camry. apparently the camry had hit this persons car, he got in it to follow the driver, and then witnessed the driver hit an additional 5 cars before crashing into mine and coming to a stop! now i am very upset because, not only does this toyota driver not have enough insurance to cover my damages, but his insurance company is refusing to pay for my damages and provide me with a rental vehicle. i did nothing wrong. just went to work yesterday, and now i am out of a $500 deductible, and my vehicle is expected to take weeks before being repaired. furthermore, the st louis police department had reported that when an officier tried to move the vehicle it seemed as if the gas pedal was stuck to the floor. *tr | |||

| This complaint relates to our claim of unresolved well documented safety issues, (ie, uncontrolled acceleration), associated with our 2010 toyota camry purchased at cain toyota in north canton ohio on 7/30/09. believing that toyota has inaccurately assigned the cause of the uncontrolled acceleration & resultant deaths & injuries, (namely faulty floor mats and/or a sticking gas pedal shaft) we have not driven our 2010 camry for months as indicated by the current 1073 miles recorded on the odometer. we believe that either unintentionally or by management directive toyota is misidentifying the cause of the numerous toyota accidents and deaths. this avoidance tactic is very similar to that adopted by ford/firestone in the numerous year 2000 explorer rollover accidents which also resulted in death and injuries. after first denying any wrong-doing,ford,(not firestone), admitted to the safety hazard such that we were compensated by ford for both our 1993 & 2000 explorers. without doubt the extensive involvement of the nhtsa in the explorer accidents and related safety issues was instrumental in motivating ford management into doing what is right for explorer owners. (i know, because we possessed two explorers that benefited from ford's corporate responsibility. at this time with toyota we believe that the safety hazard(s) are far more serious and the toyota denial stage is far more entrenched in the minds of toyota management possibly due to their long record of excellent safety. however, just one account of the 4 deaths on 8/28/09 in california when an off-duty highway patrol officer, experienced with many types of vehicles, drove for some 5 miles at speeds of 120mph was subject to uncontrolled acceleration in his lexus loaner. toyota's logic in blaming the floor mats reflects technical incompetence at best and out-of-control stupidity at the worst. we all recognize that toyota's safety record has been excellent in the past but even the deity has made mistakes!!!! *tr | |||

| Since the time i bought my new 2010 toyota camry, i saw issues with the way the car transmission worked at speeds from 0-50mph. starting from the first week of my using the car, i went to the dealership a total of 4 times, only to be sent back after a test drive saying nothing is wrong. in my own language, i had been explaining the issue which now looks exactly similar to the 'sticking gas pedal recall recently informed by toyota. my car was still accelerating while braking, or would start braking when my foot is off the accelerator. i also used to feel a jerk when the car moved between speeds of 0-50mph. i commute 70 miles daily to work and i have noticed this daily to the point that i have started ignoring out of deep frustration. the dealer test drives and causes embarrassment saying they cannot recreate my issue. i logged an incident with toyota (091214-000053). it led to my fourth visit to the dealer with the same answer. toyota's response from a case manager was that if they cannot recreate they will not do anything. i almost feel this is a hopeless case as i don't think neither toyota nor the dealership were truly serious about assisting me. they could have at least informed me that there are some potential issues with their vehicles that they are working on. i reopened a new case (100130-000604). so far i have received no recall notice from toyota. i don't think they are handling this the right way. i haven't had any major incidents, but i don't think i can wait for that to happen to get the attention of toyota or its dealer. this is not a smart way of solving an issue. i feel disappointed, angry and helpless. *tr | |||

| 11/24/09 i was driving my 2010 camry in a parking lot. my children were in the back seat. i was traveling 10 mph. my right foot was not on the gas, nor the brake, the torque of the engine was sufficient for moving us along while looking for a parking space. my right foot was above the brake as i was slowly looking for a parking spot. suddenly, i heard a very loud vvrrooommmm and the car spontaneously accelerated and lunged forward approximately 20 feet. thankfully, i was able to brake quickly and stopped the car. i then took it to the dealership. conicelli ran a diagnostic on my car. later that day when i picked up the car, they said they found nothing. when i asked them where the spontaneous acceleration (a problem toyota earlier in the day told me they were having) would have appeared on the diagnostic, they were at a loss. let me be very clear that there was not a floor mat in the driver's side. i do not believe the spontaneous acceleration was caused by the mat issue. i know my experience was real and not caused by driver error. i feel the problem is elsewhere and exacerbated for some drivers because they had the floor mats in place. please press toyota to get to the bottom of this issue. i no longer feel safe in my 2010 toyota camry that i bought for safety reasons in the first place. *tr thank you. | |||
