When gased, even lightly, the vehicle accelerates suddenly and aggressively. When rolling, without the driver accelerating, the vehicle self-accelerates. This has been noticed since it was purchased in 2014. Due to this concern, the vehicle is seldom driven.

The problem is a faulty fuel pump. While in motion, the car stalls. It has stalled on city streets and on the highway. The engine shuts off. Toyota has a recall coming for fuel pumps on toyota and lexus vehicles. The recall is to be announced in march of 2020, but I'm not sure the 2010 camry is included, but it has the same problem, and the problem occurs on a daily basis.

The engine burns oil excessively over 5 qts per oil change every 5000 miles. I'm afraid this engine may fail on the highway and create unsafe situation during regular commutes . I also believe this problem is getting progressively worse, this oil burning started 4 years ago at a smaller rate 1 -2 qt per oil change now it has doubled. There has been a toyota extended warranty issued from toyota for this exact problem for 2009 camrys,but toyota refuses to give this warranty to 2010 camry owners.they say any engine damages is the customers responsibility. Toyota needs to issue another recall or warranty extension for this 2010 year and any others experiencing the same issue.

Ever since I have owned this car I've noticed the accelerator and brakes are extremely touch and impossible to accelerate smoothly from a stop. The brakes are also extremely touchy so it's hard to come to a smooth stop without jerking. I have never had a problem like this and after reading all the complaints about about the accelerator and brakes I'm very worried that my car will eventually cause an accident. I would like to know if the people who had accidents or near accidents had this problem before the car went out of control. When using speed control it will always blink and have to be turned off and on

I applied the brakes slowly as I was driving on the highway moving about 25 MPH and instead of slowing down, the car accelerated--it jolted forward! I stepped on the brakes harder. This happened twice on one drive--I almost hit an 18 wheeler. Is there something I should do? I'm not sure if it is safe to drive.

Twice while driving last week the car abruptly and on its own, accelerated to a very high rate of speed. The first time, I was able to slow it down. The second time I pumped on the brakes several times, without result. I kept pumping and it was very difficult to stop. Several more attempts and I was able to stop the car. The engine revved over and over and it took quite a bit of effort to actually stop the car. The engine only stop revving up when I put the car in park which gave a huge jolt to the car. I was able to stop, but not easily. I had my young son in the car with me and it was incredibly scary. The engine only stopped revving when I put the car in park which caused a huge jolt of the car.

Every time I turn on the heating system of my toyota camry, I get this foul sulfur smell coming from the vents. I took it to the dealer and they say they ran tests on it but since they can't reproduce the smell there's nothing to do. Thus far toyota has written it off to the sulfur levels in the fuel, yet I own a toyota corolla as well and have never had this experience. At the dealership they told me that the smell happens after the fuel is burned and passed through the catalyst converter, but I'm worried that separate systems -- the heating and the process of burning fuel -- cross together to bring that smell into the cabin of the car. I remember the previous big toyota recall and how they tried to brush the problem under the rug, but I hope this doesn't happen here. That is unless the federal safety agency is willing to let people inhale such noxious and possibly toxic fumes.

On friday, 25 march, 2011 at about 4 pm, my wife experienced a sudden deceleration event on our 2010 toyota camry. She made a right turn & in about a half mile, the camry suddenly slowed to less than 10 MPH from about 40 MPH. She pulled into the first parking lot to the right and shut off the camry. She said no matter how much she pressed on the accelerator, the car was not responding to the accelerator. She said the check engine and the stability control lights were on. She tried restarting the car and drove a little in the parking lot, the 2 dash lights were on, but it was driving ok. She drove the car slowly approximately 5 more miles to our home. I arrived soon & I checked the codes with my diagnostic tool, and the ecu was showing an active p0121 (throttle/pedal position sensor a, circuit range performance). So we drove the car slowly to atlanta toyota, 2345 pleasant hill road, duluth, ga 30096. During the drive to the dealership, the dash lights went off. I reported the code p0121 to the service rep, and the driving symptoms. The next day (saturday, 26 march 2011) atlanta toyota called me reporting that there were no codes in the ecu. I repeated the code that I had read. The rep stated they would check again. Again atlanta toyota called me, stating no codes found, and they had test driven the car and could not replicate the problem. They did replace the accelerator pedal assembly. On the drive home from the dealership I noticed that the clock time had changed about 30 minutes, and all the radio presets were gone, as if the battery had been disconnected.I inquired and the dealership rep said the battery had not been touched.my concern is this toyota may have reprogrammed my car due to the sudden deceleration issue, (hence the clock & radio changes), and they are not being forthcoming regarding repairs. All they will say is, there were no codes.
