Tl*the contact owns a 2006 toyota solara. The contact stated that the driver of the vehicle was driving approximately 5 MPH. The driver applied the brakes and the accelerator pedal was stuck. As a result to the accelerator pedal sticking or the floor mats causing the accelerator pedal failure, the driver crashed into a bagel shop. The weather was not a factor. There were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to the toyota dealership to be repaired. The dealer stated that the floor mats were broken and needed to be replaced at the owners expense. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000. The current mileage was 38,000.
2006 Toyota Camry Solara acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I am reporting 2 instances of unintended throttle acceleration in my 2006 solara. Circumstances in both cases were similar. The two cases: (1) approximately november 1, 2009 -- I was driving slowly in a parking lot. I braked to make a turn when the engine suddenly accelerated violently. Stepping hard on the brake and pulling the shifter into n stopped the acceleration. The car then operated normally. (2) approximately december 20, 2009 -- I was pulling slowly into a parking place in front of a post office when the engine suddenly accelerated violently. Stepping hard on the brake and pulling the shifter into n stopped the acceleration. The car then operated normally. Obviously I am concerned about this problem especially with the publicity and recalls but understand that my model is not on recall.

2006 toyota solara gas pedal got stuck and car crashed into the wall in my garage the car has not been fixed.
I own a 2006 solara sle 6cy. And the car hesitates when accelerating (such as merging into traffic). Toyota has knowledge of this very problem along with the dealerships and all that needs to be done is a reflash. The problem has to do with the cars onboard computer. So when they put an update in the computer it is called reflashing. If enough people complain or if someone is killed they might find the time to take care of this. So when I and many others take the time to advise toyota and the dealerships, I feel they should take the time to address this problem. Please help address this problem by filing a complaint and also by calling toyota. Maybe we can finally get the hesitation problem taken care of. *tr thank you. Jj
I own a 2006 toyota solara 6 cyl. And the car has a problem when when you accelerate from a slow pace (as when you start to merge into a busy street or freeway) the car actually hesitates, there is a 1 1/2 to 2 second delay or lag, before the car actually kicks in and accelerates. I acctually hear and see the rpms rev up on one of the gauges, but the car is not accelerating or shifting as it should be. It is toyota's responsibility to do a reflashing for a computer update! This is all that is needed to correct the problem and I demand that it be done before an accident happens! This problem is very dangerous and has the potential to create a deadly accident. I have taken my 2006 to two toyota dealerships in the phoenix area and have not gotten the help needed to take care of this serious matter. I am not pleading with the federal safety agency to help me with this matter and I want to bring this to the attention of the public, toyota, the dealerships, the government and everyone who can help with getting this matter taken care of. If I am in an accident because of this problem I will hold everyone involved responsible as I feel I am have told all those who can help everything I can and I get no response! I want this problem to be taken very serious and I expect to be heard and someone to contact me within a responable amount of time. I know in fact toyota is aware of this problem and has ordered the mechanics, service writters at the dealerships to withhold this information from customers. I also know that toyota has corrected the problem with the 2007 toyota camry. I also own a 2000 toyota solara 6 cylinder and this car has no such problem with it hesitating. I also drove a 2007 toyota camry, loaner car, that did not have this problem.
Throttle lag at low speed and from stop is inconsistent and has been the cause for several close calls when pulling into traffic. Manufacturer was informed; dealer investigated; states this is normal and nothing can be done, that lag is "acceptable". Some instances have been several seconds before actual throttle response. Driver has to use harder acceleration to compensate when this happens. This is a safety issue that toyota is aware of but declines to admit it is a problem. Driver is very concerned that this issue will be cause of an accident.

Dt: the consumer stated that after starting the engine there was a very high idle for an extended period of time. After the initial revving, the idle would reduce to a slower pace. This was computerized and could not be manually reduced. Also, when pulling out the vehicle would hesitate and suddenly lurch forward. The consumer had taken the vehicle to the dealer who could not find the cause of the problem and said that there was nothing they could do about it. No repairs had been made at this time. *ak (12/08/05) the consumer wrote as the make/model/year "toyota solaro 2006."
