1995 Toyota Camry acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When the cruise control is engaged in my 1995 6-cylinder camry, it can suddenly and forcefully apply the accelerator, jerking the vehicle forward and backward before disengaging and not reengaging until the ignition is turned off. It was very frightening so I took it to the dealer who read the error code and assured me it was not dangerous and refused to repair it under warranty. I spoke to the toyota representative and he too refused to authorize warranty work. I have not used the cruise control since and have asked toyota to reconsider a warranty repair based on recent disclosures of concealment of unintended acceleration.
Tl*the contact owns a 1995 toyota camry. While driving approximately 30 MPH on normal road conditions and applying pressure to the accelerator pedal, unexpectedly, the accelerator pedal began to stick. The vehicles speed increased to 90 MPH. In an attempt to engage the brake pedal and the parking brake, the vehicle failed to slow down. The vehicle came to a complete stop only after the gear shift was forced into park while the vehicle was moving. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to her residence with extreme caution. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection. The contact has concerns of the significant safety hazard. The VIN was unavailable. The failure and current mileages were unknown.
Vehicle cruise control suddenly accelerates without driver input and continues to accelerate/decelerate until cruise control is disengaged. When reactivated, it works fine until the next episode.
The idle speed control valve breaks down every about two years. In cold starting, engine does not start. Replacement is expensive at $400. Toyota should recall this inherently defective part. My problem began in 1997, 1999 and 2002.
From a dead stop car lurched when gas was applied.also, front and rear engine mounts displayed failure from metal fatigue
After coming to a complete stop conusumer hit on accelerator and vehicle hesitated to go. Then, it lost control. Vehicle was totalled.
When starting vehicle it will stall, vehicle will not stay started, contacted dealer, and dealer stated idle control valve was faulty. *ak
Consumer said, when he set the cruise control at 55 MPH and traveling on level ground or uphill it holds this speed perfectly. But if he start down hill the system does not sense promptly that the car is accelerating. It always takes between 20 and 30 seconds before it senses the increased speed and releases the throttle. By then the car is traveling 8 to 14 MPH faster.
Cruise control suddenly "spikes" (unintended accelleration) without warning.
The vehicle's idle speed after morning start, is very low because the idle speed control valve was sticking. Yh
When starting from dead stop,accelerator linkage hangs up and when pedal is depressed enough to effect release, engine is in high RPM, causing car to lurch suddenly forward.
While stationary, w/automatic transmission vehicle will attempt to surge forward in drive with brakes on. Please describe please. Tt
