I WAS PULLING THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AT A VERY SLOW SPEED (~4MPH). SUDDENLY THE CAR TOOK OFF WITH FULL FORCE OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR JUMPED THE CONCRETE BAR OF THE PARKING LOT AND ACCELERATED AS IF WITH FULL APPLIED GAS. IT JUST HAPPENED IN FEW SECONDS, I TRIED TO HIT THE BREAK, BUT COULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT HIT THE 1.5" HIGH FOUNDATION OF THE BUILDING AND STOPPED. THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON, AND THE FRONT WHEELS STILL SPUN VERY FAST UNTIL I CHANGED THE GEAR TO PARKING AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2006 CAMRY IN OCTOBER 2005 AND HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO CLAREMONT TOYOTA, THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND BRAKING PROBLEM SINCE ABOUT 2006. IT'S AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR. MY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPS TO THE FLOOR AND THEN THE CAR ACCELERATES FORWARD AND THAT THE CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. THE SERVICE WRITERS HAVE DISMISSED MY COMPLAINTS AND GIVEN MANY EXCUSES SUCH AS: WHEN I LEFT THE CAR THERE TO HAVE THEM CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPEATED SO THE CAR WAS FINE, ANOTHER TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW CARS HAVE ABS BRAKES THAT DROP DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND AT A DIFFERENT TIME THEY SAID THAT WITH THESE NEW CARS THE REAR BRAKES HAD TO BE ADJUSTED AT EVERY OIL CHANGE AND ETC. THERE WAS AN INCIDENT IN 2006 WHEN I WAS AT A STOP AND SOME PEDESTRIANS WERE WALKING ACROSS THE STREET. THE CAR DID STOP BUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR AND THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL A FEW TIMES IN ORDER FOR IT WORK AGAIN. THANKFULLY THE PEDESTRIANS HAD NOT PASSED INFRONT OF MY CAR YET. I DON'T REMEMBER THE SPECIFIC DATE BUT I DO KNOW IT WAS IN 2006. ON 2/20/2010 I HAD MY HUSBAND TAKE THE CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AT CLAREMONT TOYOTA. I HAD MY HUSBAND TAKE THE CAR BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO LIED TO OR GIVEN ANOTHER EXCUSE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS. MY HUSBAND MENTIONED THE PROBLEM ABOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND SOMETIMES HAVING TO DOWNSHIFT OR USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS CONDITION EXISTS DUE TO THE ABS SYSTEM SENSING THE ROTATION OF THE TIRES AND THAT THE CAR WOULD EVENTUALLY STOP. MY HUSBAND THEN MENTIONED WHAT WE HAD BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE REAR BRAKES AND THE SERVICE WRITER GRINNED AND SAID THAT THE BRAKES DO NOT NEED ADJUSTMENT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE IT FEELS AS IF IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. *TR

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY -2006 MODEL WHICH WAS BOUGHT NEW IN FEB 2006. IT HAS APPROX 32,000 MILES ON IT MOSTLY DRIVEN BY MYSELF, 37 YEAR MAN AS OF TODAY AND MY WIFE(31 YEARS) ALSO DRIVES SOMETIMES SINCE LAST TWO YEARS. LAST SUNDAY 01/31/2010 MY WIFE , MYSELF AND MY TWO SONS WERE INSIDE CAR AND MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR AND WAS STOPPING CAR IN DRIVE WAY. WE WERE ALMOST STOPPED AND SUDDENLY IT ACCELERATED AND MY WIFE WAS SCREAMING THAT IT IS NOT STOPPING EVEN SHE ALMOST STANDING ON BRAKES. MEANTIME IT HIT CLOSED GARAGE DOOR AND WENT INSIDE GARAGE WITH HIGH SPEED. RIGHT MIRROR WENT INSIDE THE GARAGE WALL AND FINALLY ITS CAR FRONT HIT BASE OF GAS-WATER HEATER AND CAR STOPPED. WINDSHIELD WAS FULLY DAMAGED, UPPER HOOD WAS BENDED, RIGHT MIRROR WAS BROKEN AND FRONT OF CAR WAS ALSO HIT BUT AIRBAG DID NOT POP UP BECAUSE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR COULD HAVE REDUCED SPEED BEFORE FRONT HIT GAS-WATER HEATER. BIG TRAGEDY WAS AVOIDED BECAUSE WATER HEATER WAS GAS BASED AND IT WAS ON. ALSO RIGHT SIDE BOTH DOORS WERE TOUCHED TO WALL SO CANNOT BE OPENED. MY TWO SONS 2 YEARS AND 8 YEARS WERE INSIDE CARE AND LEFT SIDE BACK DOOR HAD CHILD LOCK SO ONLY DOOR CAN BE OPENED WAS DRIVER SIDE WHICH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SHE WAS SCARED TO DEATH WITH THIS INCIDENT. LUCKILY FIRE DID NOT START AND WE ALL WERE ABLE TO COME OUT SAFELY. I CALLED LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TWICE AND HE REFUSED TO LISTEN ME SAYING THIS CAR 2006 CAMRY IS NOT PART OF TOYOTA RECALL AND IF YOU HAVE TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT CALL TOYOTA'S CORPORATE NUMBER. I CALL TOYOTA NUMBER TWICE AND THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THIS MODEL IS NOT PART OF RECALL. I CLEARLY TOLD THEM THAT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT SO OTHER PEOPLE WILL KNOW THAT SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN WITH THIS MODEL CAR ALSO. AT THE SAMETIME I CALLED MY AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TOW CAR TO REPAIR FACILITY. AS OF NOW REPAIR IS IN PROGRESS AND I AM EXPECTING TO GET CAR BY END OF NEXT WEEK. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. *TR

THE BRAKE DOES NOT WORK EVERY TIME WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR ON ROUGH ROAD SUCH AS SNOW AND ICE ROAD, AND REPAIRING ROAD. I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALERS TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAID THAT IS DUE TO THE ANTI-LOCK MECHANISM! THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. I DRIVE VERY SLOWLY WHEN ROAD IS ROUGH. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY CRASHED AT 6:40PM OF DEC. 4, 2009. WHEN I WAS NEAR TO EXIT 65 OF HIGHWAY 26 (BEAVERTON, OR), THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME PUT ON BRAKES. I PUT ON BRAKES TOO AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS ABOUT 50 METERS. BUT MY CAR ACCELERATED UNTIL IT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. HISTORICALLY I KNEW MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED SOMETIMES. BUT IT SEEMS ONLY LAST FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I DROVE IT DOWNHILL. CURRENTLY TOYOTA'S RECALL ONLY INCLUDES CAMRY MODEL AFTER 2007. I THINK CAMRY 2006 SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TOO. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEEMS TO BE "STICKY" AND HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE PURCHASE - IF YOU DEPRESS THE PEDAL, THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE SPEED WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY. THIS RESULTED IN MY CAR LURCHING FORWARD (WITH A LIGHT PRESS OF THE PEDAL) INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO INJURIES, BUT MY FRONT BUMPER WAS CRACKED FROM THE IMPACT. THERE WAS LESS THAN 5 FEET IN BETWEEN OUR CARS AT THE TIME, BUT ENOUGH FORCE TO PUT THE TRAILER HITCH OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THROUGH THE BUMPER. *TR

MY 2006 AUTOMATIC CAMRY SHIFT LEVER WILL DISENGAGE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HIT THE SHIFT LEVER WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED (65 MPH) BY ACCIDENT AND THE LEVER WENT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. MY ENGINE REVS WERE ALARMING. WORRIED ABOUT BLOWING MY ENGINE. I QUICKLY PUT MY CAR BACK INTO DRIVE (D) AND CONTINUED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN AND I WOULD BE REAR ENDED. WITH THE TAILGATING TREND OF TODAY'S DRIVERS THIS IS A GRAVE CONCERN TO ME. HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ? I FEEL THAT THE LOCK TO CHANGE FROM PARK TO DRIVE SHOULD WORK IN ALL POSITIONS SO THIS EVENT WILL NOT ACCURE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *JB

I WAS DRIVING IN EAST GRANBY NEAR A FEDEX DELIVERY TRUCK. THIS TRUCK KEPT SWERVING LANES IN ORDER TO GET AROUND OTHER CARS, BUT HE DID SO BY CUTTING ME OFF MULTIPLE TIMES.

THIS WAS ALSO IN A SCHOOL ZONE IN EAST GRANBY NEAR THE CENTER ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE BRADLEY AIRPORT IN CT. THE DRIVER KEPT LAUGHING AND SMILING AT MYSELF AND OTHER CARS AND ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET AROUND HIM TO PASS AND MOVE ON HE FLIPPED ME OFF.

ON MARCH 26,2020 I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR. THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED, STICKY, AND MELTED THROUGHOUT. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED PRIORITY TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD (JOHN SERVICE MANAGER) THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT DUE TO THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION-ZE6 WHICH ENDED MAY 31, 2017. ALSO, I HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. HE WOULD REPLACE IT AT MY COST OF APPROX. $2200 BUT HE WOULD PROVIDE AN EXACT AMOUNT WHEN I DECIDED TO FIX IT. THEN I EXPLORED THE INTERNET TO SEE THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM. IT CAN LEAD TO VISIBILITY PROBLEMS (GLARE) AND PROBLEMS WITH THE DASHBOARD AIRBAGS. YESTERDAY, APRIL 7, 2020 I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER 1-888-2709371 AND SPOKE TO RANDALL WHO REPEATED WHAT JOHN HAD SAID, BUT ADDED THAT MY CAR WAS OLD AND NOT WORTH MUCH AND I HAD GOTTEN MY MONIES WORTH OUT OF IT. I ASKED WHO I COULD CALL NEXT AND HE SAID HE WAS THE END OF THE LINE. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE #[XXX] BUT CAN'T SEE TO READ IT FOR MYSELF. THE CAR HAS REMAINED IN MY GARAGE SINCE I SAW THE PROBLEM ON MARCH 26. IT IS GETTING WORSE. IT WAS LAST DRIVEN ON MARCH 5 WITH NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE A TOYOTA RAV 2017 FROM PRIORITY TOYOTA, HAMPTON, VA 757 838-5000.

WHILE ON THE STREET AS I WAS BACKING MY CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE ADJACENT TO THE STREET CURB THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN REVERSE AT HIGH SPEED, CRASHING OVER THE CURB AND SIDEWALK, REAR END FIRST. MY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE CAR WAS UNSUCCESSFUL; THE CAR DID NOT COME TO A STOP UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO AN IRON FENCE WHICH BORDERED THE YARD CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FENCE AND THE CAR. A SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCURRED QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN THE SAME CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN REVERSE OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS UNABLE TO BRING IT TO A HALT UNTIL IT HIT A PARKED CAR. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED EITHER OF THESE INCIDENTS TO OCCUR.

SUDDENLY MY TOYOTA 2006 LURCHED FORWARD AND BANGED INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR STOPPED, THEN JUMPED FORWARD AGAIN AND BANGED THE CAR AHEAD OF ME AGAIN. MY HUSBAND, SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THREW THE GEAR SHIFT INTO 'PARK' AND OUR CAR STOPPED.

ON SUNDAY, APRIL 7TH, I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON THE SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY AT EXACTLY FIFTY-FIVE MPH AND EXITED AT EXIT 17N. THE EXIT RAMP THERE IS SLOPED UPHILL AND PARALLELS TAYLOR ROAD. THERE IS A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THAT RAMP AT HEMPSTEAD AVENUE. JUST AS I WAS COMING TO THE END OF THAT RAMP AT VERY SLOW SPEED AND ALMOST TO THAT SIGN, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SPED UP WITH EXTREME ACCELERATION AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER FORWARD AND THEN BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING ELSE, THE PHENOMENON ENDED AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 700 RPM ON THE DASHBOARD TACHOMETER. I DROVE HOME AND PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, MONDAY APRIL 8TH, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY TO BRING THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER. AS I WAS PREPARING FOR THAT, I STARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I PUT IT INTO REVERSE IN ORDER TO BACK OUT WHEN THE ENGINE AGAIN SUDDENLY SPED UP TO EXTREME ACCELERATION. AGAIN, I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THIS TIME I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE WAS ROTATED CLOCKWISE AND WELL UP INTO THE "RED" ZONE WHICH BEGINS AT 6000 RPM. IN A MOMENT OR SO, THE PHENOMENON AGAIN ENDED AND THE ENGINE AGAIN RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED.
