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

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
