Experienced two times with unwanted sudden acceleration with toyota camry '94(made in us model) in may 2011: while driving 30mph, all of a sudden, the speedometer was up like crazy (6000-7000rpm) and while applying brake on it which didn't seem to response and I had to apply the brake very hard to make the car stop and had to turn off the engine.

3 times since purchasing my new 1994 camry (v6 sedan), the engine has completely died while driving. All power lost to engine, power steering, and power brakes. Happened when brand new. Brought it back to shop and they said it's the type of "computer glitch" that's to be expected on such a complex computer system. Has happened twice more since then. When I pull over to restart the engine, everything is fine. Scary as hell when it happens when I'm driving. Has only happened 3 times, fortunately.

Just read about the recall on the honda's that let the ignition key be removed while the vehicle is not in park. I have a 1994 toyota camry xle which has the same problem. At least 3-4 times per month I park the car and remove the key. When I return and the car won't start, I notice the car was in drive or reverse when the key was removed. Date submitted below is not accurate. I entered it so that I could continue.
