When making a right turn and braking suddenly as in a busy parking lot, the engine will accelerate with a loud roar while my foot is solely on the brake and I franticly shift to neutral. Sometimes on a curved road with a traffic light the engine will accelerate while my foot is on the brake trying to slow the car for a red light. This has happend numerous times.

My 2000 camry is also in need of a replacement charcoal canister for the emissions system. My check engine light has been on for about 6 years because of it. I do not wish to pay the $400 to have it replaced when the car is running just fine. This has been an issue with a large number of early 2000's camrys.

Bought my used 2000 camry in aug, 2008. A few months later, gas pedal started sticking when I apply pressure to accelerate after making a stop. Sometimes it happens every time I make a stop in a given day. Other times, when I'm out and about, it does not stick when I accelerate. I have to give it a little push to accelerate from the stopped position. Happens about 70% of the time. Makes no difference if it's winter or summer.

This is in regards to a previous odi complaint that I filed on 3/5/2010. The odi number is: 10316956. I just wanted to add that this 2000 toyota camry has a standard (manual) shift transmision so when the acceleration happened we just pushed in the clutch and coasted to a stop. Turned ignition key off, pumped the gas pedal a few times, and started the car. It was fine then. This has happened to myself maybe 8 times.

I purchased a used 2000 toyota camry from a friend 2 yrs. Ago. My friend, original owner, had problems with the car accelerating on its own & even went as far as to buy a new accelerator cable assy.on the recommendation of the toyota dealer 3/17/06. They said that would fix the problem. I have also had the same problem since I have owned the car. Since the publicity about this problem neither my friend nor I have put the cable assy. On for fear of more problems. Toyota doesn't seem to know how to fix the problem. I still have the accelerator cable assy. In the original sealed bag & I still have the problem.

My 2000 toyota camry has a sticking accelerator pedal that stick when pressed, requiring excess pressure. This causes the car to lurch forward. This happens daily inconsistently. I will be reporting this to my local toyota dealer.

Depressing the gas pedal is sometimes difficult. There appears to be a hangup or impairment in depressing it from a stop or brake operation. It happens about twice a week.

1. Sudden acceleration on 2000 toyota camry in nov. 2009. When it was in de-acceleration after taking an exit in ewing nj, it suddenly accelerated like a wild horse, I totally lost control and the car crossed a red light, fortunately, there was no collision occured and the car was under control finally. 2. Acceleration pedal sticking: sometime when the gas pedal is pressed, it does not move, a big force needs to be applied to the gas pedal in order to move the pedal and start acceleration. It usually cause over shooting.
