2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. CONSUMER STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY ACCELERATED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE ENGINE ROARED, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT REACT. *KB WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY RESPONDED, IT CAME WITH A RUSH OF SPEED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE LOCAL DEALER ADJUSTED THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE. *JB UPDATED 12/09/14

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN COLD WEATHER: THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2007 ( 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4 CYL ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THIS OCCURS DURING COLD WEATHER ( LESS THAN 30 F) AND DURING THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WHEN I AM DRIVING WITH LIGHT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR AND REMOVE MY FOOT TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SLOWS DOWN AFTER 1 TO 2 SECONDS (TACHOMETER DROPS FROM 1800 RPM TO 1000 RPM) AND MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND. AFTER 1 TO 4 SECONDS, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR WILL THEN SPEED UP ( ANOTHER CLUNKING SOUND FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN). THE TACHOMETER JUMPS FROM 1000 TO 2000 RPM APPROXIMATELY. THIS OCCURS IN ALL GEARS AND IS SEVERE IN 3RD GEAR WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND BEGIN TO BRAKE. THE RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTION IS IMMEDIATE SKIDDING ON ICE OR SNOW COVER SURFACES. IF I AM IN A TURN, THE CAR WILL START SKIDDING IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND SO THE ROADS ARE OFTEN SLICK IN WINTER. I HAD REPORTED THIS TO SERVICE SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND WAS TOLD IT'S NORMAL, THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, THEY HAVE NO DIAGNOSTIC FAULTS, THEY CAN'T FIND MY SERVICE RECORDS, ETC. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE SLIDING ACCIDENTS IN WINTER WEATHER AND MAY HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST, PARTICULARLY WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS EVENT. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 5, 2008 I WAS LEAVING MY SON'S SOCCER PRACTICE AND MY ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. I HIT A SCHOOL AND WENT THROUGH A 100 FOOT FENCE WHEN MY CAR BECAME ENTANGLED IN THE FENCE AND THE FENCE BECAME CAUGHT UNDERNEATH MY CAR.

I DID HAVE MY CAR SERVICED FOR THE GAS PEDAL RECALL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE OIL LEAKAGE RECALL THAT IS IN CANADA. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY CAR AND NEED HELP. I WANT MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT TODAY. A PICKUP TRUCK BROADSIDED ME. AS SOON AS THE TRUCK HIT ME I HIT THE BRAKES. THE CAMRY DID NOT STOP AND INSTEAD QUICKLY ACCELERATED AND FISH TAILED OUT OF CONTROL. I FINALLY GAINED CONTROL OF THE STEERING BUT ENDED UP THREE LANES ACROSS FROM WHERE I WAS HIT AND INTO A GAS STATION HAVING TO DRIVE BETWEEN THE GAS PUMPS HOPING TO AVOID AN EXPLOSION. I HIT A PARKED CAR AT THE PUMP AND KEPT GOING ABOUT 5 TO 10 MORE FEET AND THE CAR FINALLY JUST STOPPED LIKE NOTHING HAPPEN. I COULD HAVE DIED TODAY! IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE OR LIKE SOMEONE FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. I DO KNOW FOR CERTAINTY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON MANY SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED NOT A SUDDEN ACCELERATION BUT A SUBTLE INCREASE IN SPEED, WHILE ON LEVEL ROAD. THE IMPRESSION I HAD WAS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS OPERATING WHEN IT WAS NOT EVEN TURNED ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT IT WAS DOING BUT WAS TOLD I MUST HAVE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THEY DID TRY TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE HAD THE "ACCELERATOR PEDAL FIXED" AS A RESULT OF TOYOTA'S MOST RECENT RECALL. HOWEVER, THE CAR CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY "ACCELERATE". I DO NOT BELIEVE THE PEDAL WAS EVER THE PROBLEM AND IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT NUMBER OF REPORTED INCIDENTS, I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT TO REPORT THESE INCIDENTS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME AS THE MORE CRITICAL REPORTS AND THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNKNOWN AND THE NATURE OF MY INCIDENT IS PROBABLY HAPPENING TO ALOT OF DRIVERS BUT THEY EITHER DON'T REALIZE IT OR THINK IT IS NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO REPORT. *TR

LUCKILY, IT WAS SUNDAY EARLY MORNING AND THERE WERE ALMOST NO CARS ON THAT ROAD AND THUS I DIDN'T HIT ANY CARS.

I WAS DRIVING TO SAN ANTONIO FROM HOUSTON AND USING MY CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4 CYL CAR MADE JAPAN. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70 MPH AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN FOR A VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME SO I PRESSED MY BRAKES WHICH STOPPED THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THEN TURNED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME CRUISE CONTROL SO I PRESSED RESUME AND WITHOUT ALSO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND/OR BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR SURGED AHEAD GAINING LARGE AMOUNTS OF SPEED AND EASILY GOING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT THAT I HAD SET AT 70 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER HIT 78 AND KEEP GOING AT THAT SPEED ABOUT 30 SECS AND THEN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO 70 MPH. I HAVE THAT HAPPEN ALMOST EVERYTIME I USE THE CRUISE CONTROL IN MY CAR AND USE IT ACCORDING TO THE RECOMMEND STANDARDS SET BY TOYOTA. *TR

TOMORROW WILL BE THE 3RD TIME I HAVE TAKEN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN FOR VSC PROBLEMS. LUCKILY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY 2-12-2010 AND WITHIN ONE HOUR THE VSC , CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALER HAS BEEN RESPONSIVE BUT GIVEN ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL I THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A DANGEROUS AND ALMOST DEADLY INCIDENT REGARDING DRIVING MY TOYOTA CAMRY(2007). ON DECEMBER 13, 2009, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA, CAMRY IN WILKES BARRE, PA. VISITING FAMILY. SHE WAS ON RTE. 81 AND THE CAR STARTING RAPIDLY ACCELERATING WITHOUT HER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR SPEED GOT UP TO AROUND 100 MPH WHEN SHE FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN BY PRESSING THE BRAKE HEAVILY AND THEN PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. MY WIFE CAME VERY CLOSE TO CRASHING THE CAR WHICH AT THAT SPEED WOULD HAVE SURELY MEANT DEATH. MY WIFE WAS QUITE ANXIOUS TO SAY THE LEAST AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS INCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER AND AM QUITE ANGRY AT TOYOTA FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO OCCUR. I AM CONSIDERING TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST TOYOTA. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I RECEIVED A TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2007 CAMRY. THE NOTICE DESCRIBED THREE SEPARATE REPAIRS/REMEDY TO MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST REPAIR INVOLVED INSTALLING A METAL SHIM IN THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH I HAD THE DEALER PERFORM. THE SECOND "REMEDY" INVOLVED A TECHNICIAN CUTTING A SECTION OFF THE END OF THE GAS PEDAL AND CUTTING OUT A SECTION OF PADDING FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS FLOOR PAN CARPET. I DECLINED THIS WORK AS I HAVE A NEWLY DESIGNED AWFM PROPERLY SECURED IN PLACE AND DO NOT BELIEVE THIS "REMEDY" WOULD RETAIN THE OEM QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE - TOYOTA SHOULD REDESIGN AND INSTALL A NEW GAS PEDAL INSTEAD. THE THIRD REPAIR INVOLVED INSTALLING A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM. OF THE THREE REPAIRS, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AS IT OFFERS A BROAD LEVEL OF PROTECTION AGAINST UNINTENDED ACCELERATION VERSUS THE NARROW LEVEL OF PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE OTHER TWO. WHEN I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM INSTALLED THEY REFUSED TO DO THE WORK WITHOUT ALSO PERFORMING THE GAS PEDAL AND CARPET PADDING MODIFICATION "REMEDY". I EXPLAINED MY DISPUTE OVER THIS WORK AND WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. AFTER A FORTY MINUTE WAIT I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HILDA. SHE ALSO STATED THAT TOYOTA WAS UNWILLING TO INSTALL THE BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM WITHOUT DOING THE OTHER MODIFICATION WORK. WHEN I ASKED HER FOR A REASON SHE STATED THAT TOYOTA AGREED TO NHTSA TO DO THE WORK AS A SINGLE RECALL. WHEN I PRESSED HER TO DETERMINE IF THE NHTSA REQUIRED TOYOTA TO ONLY PERFORM THE WORK IF BOTH THE REPAIR AND "REMEDY" WERE DONE TOGETHER, SHE STATED SHE WAS UNABLE TO HELP ME FURTHER AND PROVIDED ME WITH A CASE NUMBER ([XXX]). WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE? WHY IS CUTTING UP A VEHICLE WITHOUT COMMITTING TO PROPERLY REPAIRING IT AT A LATER DATE CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE? *TR
