In 2007 we leased a new camry along with another new toyota product on the same day. My wife has had the accelerator stick on her and she had to use the emergency brake to stop the car and ran off the road. She narrowly avoided having a terrible accident in the car while my four year old daughter was in the car with her. The dealership picked up the car and attempted to fix it. The first time my wife drove the car the accelerator stuck again. They have since came and picked it up again and have had it for almost two weeks with no progress or solutions offered. The car is unsafe and they have no solutions to fix it. They tell us they're waiting on toyota engineers to come but have no date or time that will happen. My wife is terrified of the car and rightfully so. There are only 15 months left on the lease and we just want them to purchase the car back. It is leased through toyota financial. This has been going on for too long for them to have no solutions for a repair.

I have a 2007 toyota camry. My camry has accelerated on many occasions, hundreds of time, often times, daily. It has never caused an override problem, but the rpms do go up immensely. It is not the gas pedal, I can assure you, because I keep my foot on the pedal to see if that is the problem. My brother in law, a car mechanic guru assured me it was the new motor synchronization, so I never reported the problem to my local dealer. I had a 2005 camry, this never happened to that vehicle. There has never been an accident, but almost daily, it does accelerate. These people that have the acceleration problem, it is real, as far as taking over their vehicle, could be.

Attn: defects investigations office. 2007 toyota camry with 38721 miles that is owned by and used as an undercover police vehicle accelerated without explanation on march 10, 2010. The operator, who is a sworn officer, advises that his foot was not on the accelerator and the vehicle increased in speed and engine revolutions without explanation. The event occurred over the course of approximately 1/10th of a mile reaching speeds just over 60 MPH. The acceleration event corrected itself. There was no injury or crash associated with the event. The vehicle in question had completed a toyota recall service program # ssc90l to address acceleration issues with this model vehicle on march 2, 2010. The vehicle was returned to the henrico police on march 3, 2010. The extremely short period of time between the recall service and this sudden unanticipated acceleration event gives reason to believe that the recall service was not effective in correcting the acceleration issues associated with toyota brand vehicles. The vehicle was parked shortly after the event and is currently secured by the henrico police. The vehicle has not been driven or examined by any parties since the occurrence of this acceleration event. In light of the fact that this vehicle had recently completed the required acceleration recall service and has been secured since the date of the occurrence, this agency believes that this vehicle is an ideal candidate for examination by the office of defects investigations to determine the origin of this unanticipated acceleration event. The vehicle in question is outfitted with toyota brand floor mats which are tethered to anchors in the floorboard of the vehicle.

I own a 2007 toyota camry le. I reported this problem to the dealer in redding, ca about the cruise control system within a month of ownership; however, they said it is normal operation. I doubt it very much, how the cruise control resumes back to the set speed almost instantly by raising the RPM over 5000, which will make you feel the car is going out of control. I have been driving cars for over 30 years and own many makes and models but none of them behaved in this way. This was my first toyota car, I strongly believe the car maker should look in to the cruise control systems that might give them clues about accidental acceleration problems that I am hearing regularly.

I own a 2007 toyota camry I had a accident in the vehicle on september 17, 2009 in jackson, tn. I told the officers and the insurance company that I tried to stop but was unable to I also told them that something was wrong it would not stop until I went into a ditch. Two days later toyota did a recall on the floor mats. I found out about the floor mats this year in february 2010. I contacted toyota and found out that they had the wrong name as being the owner and said they would get me the recall information mailed to my home. The company did send me the information I called the local toyota dealership her and they told me I could bring my vehicle in. It states on the papers that toyota will replace the pedal with a new one if I wanted to wait for it in and that they would replace the older all weather floor mats and clean the carpet. This did not happen for me I now have the same dirty floor that I had before I took it to them and now I'm riding in a rental car because since they put the reinforcement bar on my car the check engine light has come on and I'm afraid even more to drive the car I took it to the dealership and they told corporate that I would have to pay them to check out the car and my manual says that if this light comes on that it is the electronic throttle, the dealership told me it could be up to 200 different things and that unless I pay for this they would not do anything to assist me I can write a letter to the claims department but there is no guarantee that they will reimburse me for my rental or for fixing the vehicle, also that my floor mats are now aftermarket mats and the will not do anything to them either nor my floor please do something they are not fixing these vehicles and are not standing by there word I can not afford to pay anymore money to get this vehicle fix and detailed and I have no other means of transportation. The people at corporate say they are sticking by the dealership and I need to pay to get this fixed!

I have a 2007 toyota camry 4-cylinder non hybrid vehicle. I brought my vehicle in for the required recalls and while I was in line with other cars to drop it off, I needed to move up about 30 feet. I had my foot on the brake and gear in park. I started the car and put the shift lever into drive with my foot still on the brake. The engine started to rev up, but with my foot on the brake, it did not move. I quickly put the shift lever into neutral and shut the engine off. A toyota employee came over and tried to reproduce the situation, but could not. I have a problem with the recall fix. If the car accelerates for no apparent reason and I put my foot on the brake, the acceleration is supposed to stop, but in the time between sudden acceleration and my foot hitting the brake pedal, I could have an accident. My wife and I am very wary about driving this car.

My car is a 2007 camry xlev6, and was not listed as part of the toyota recall (it has locking mats). Pulled into driveway at my home, with foot on brakes as I touched auto garage door opener on visor. Car gear was in d. As I removed foot from brake to gas pedal to pull into garage, and lightly placed foot on accelerator, instantaneously engine revved, pedal went to floor, tach zoomed and auto jetted into garage. I immediately hit brakes with both feet, attempting to disengage transmission from d and put into n. Gear shift erratically plunged into r and car began to go backwards with engine throttle wide open. Again, with tires squealing, smoking & laying rubber, I tried to jam gearshift to n or p, and car jettisoned forward hitting garage wall at full force. With millisecond recovery, I held onto gearshift ' all the time my feet were on brakes ' again tried to force it into p, and it again went to r, (must pass n and r to get gear into p) then again forward in another direct hit against garage wall, breaking the wall open and splitting sheetrock as auto nearly popped through to laundry room and gas furnace. I held the push-button in while simultaneously forcing gear shift again to reach p. Engine went from full-bore open to a stop. This event was so frightening. Had it occurred minutes earlier I was in commute traffic and in residential area returning home from metro. Pedestrians and schoolkids were in the area. I exited car to run into house, call for help. Damage to garage wall (and laundry area) is substantial, but was minimized to the auto due to a set of four tires against the garage wall which provided some cushion. Bluetooth phone (hands-free car) would not disconnect. I borrowed neighbor's phone to call husband and police/fire. Emergency firetruck team arrived to ensure no gas line break, fairfax police officer also on site. After repeated attempts & long wait times to talk with toyota, I was told not to move car, wait 10-30 days to investigate. Here sits.
