Unattended acceleration. I was on a slight incline, trying to enter the highway. I was stopped with my foot on the break with all of a sudden acceleration, and I started to surge forward. I kept my foot on the break and kept the car from moving forward, but it did seemed to it, going into high gear to want to move forward. Then put it in neutral and in reverse to back up a couple feet so that I wasn-??t hit by a moving car on the highway. And then drove the car home. And Toyota to report the problem.

On 03/29/20 I was backing into a parking space in a restaurant parking lot when I pressed on the accelerator the car took off like a rocket ship and I hit a truck. This is my 1st accident. It happened so fast but I immediately took my foot off the accelerator and both feet were on the floor and both hands on the wheel after I felt the acceleration. Toyota is denying my claim.. can you review?

While pulling into a parking spot at minimal rate of speed in a residential parking lot. I experienced random acceleration of my vehicle.despite applying the brake the vehicle would not stop accelerating. I turned my vehicle into a metal pole to keep it from temporarily moving forward. Due to the acceleration & friction, the asphalt under the car was burned, the left front tire exploded as did the passenger side window. The entire right front side of the vehicle was totaled. I was finally able to get the vehicle to stop by turning off the ignition.

I initially had an unexpected acceleration, but was able to stop the car and didn't know why it had happened. I was unaware that this was a common issue. Later I was backing out of a parking space, then switched to drive in attempt to go forward. The car accelerated w/O my touching the gas. I couldn't stop the car and it plowed into several other cars. I didn't understand why this had happened. The police came and assumed it was my fault because after having this happen, I was confused. They took the car to a body shop that did the repairs. No one mentioned this is a common problem w/Toyota. By the time I heard about sudden unintended acceleration (sua), I contacted Toyota. As the insurance company had already arranged to have the car fixed before I called, the investigator said they wouldn't even look at the car as it had been repaired. Then I had a 3rd incident where I'd come to a stop, but the car began to accelerate. Initial date estimate was a guesstimate for mid-October acceleration. 11.21.16 was the accident, which resulted in over $7,000 damage to my car and more was paid towards the cars I hit. The most recent acceleration was January 16, 2017. To date Toyota has on reattached the carpets, so I am concerned this car is still a risk to my life & that of others.

On Monday July 18th 2016 at approximately 1:30 P.M. I pulled my 2005 Toyota Camry into the parking lot handicap spot at bagger dave's located 50570 gratiot, chesterfield Michigan 48051. As I was preparing to put the vehicle in park the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward very hard and very fast I attempted to apply the brakes three separate times and the car was still moving forward at the same rate on the fourth try I use both feet to press on the brakes very hard jamming the brake pedal into the floor rendering my body into a 180 degree angle position stretched out completely with an arched back. I am only 5 ft 1 in tall. I waited then I put the car in park at that time and just sat in the vehicle. Upset crying shocked fearful I looked to my right and there were three witnesses a woman and her two daughters entering the restaurant and standing approximately 5 feet from a vehicle. They witnessed the entire incident from that close vantage point offered assistance helping me out of the vehicle the manager came out of the building call the police.

The car hesitate during acceleration. After applying brakes, when you are trying to gain speed, you notice is significantly. No check engine light though.

In 2006 I reported of sudden acceleration in my 2005 Toyota Camry. Since then I have had several occurences where my car has lunge into sudden acceleration. The lastest time was on 3/28/10 on I-275 West heading to lawrenceburg Indiana. I was driving about 60 -65 mph when my 2005 Camry sudden accelerated to about 80 mph, but my putting on the brakes allowed me to get back the control of the vehicle. Other times were vaguely remember but here's the ones that come to mind, 3/12/10, 2/10, 10/09, 8/09, there have been other times but because I went through so much with Toyota regional office that to avoid stessing out like Toyota did to me in 2006, I just didn't report it. In fear of having to go up against this big corporation again and they deny that there is even a problem with the accelerated pedal I left the reporting alone. It's very stressful going through all of this only to be told that there's no problem with the car.

While attempting to park in the parking space in front of a building, the vehicle (2005 Toyota Camry sl) accelerated on its own, jumping the curb, crashing into the railing and the building wall. Police impounded vehicle as it was unsafe. In the seconds prior to the crash, my foot was off the accelerator and I was in the process of braking because I was entering the parking space in the lot. Vehicle is now at a body shop awaiting to be fixed but not before this is reported to Toyota.

I had trouble with my 2005 Toyota Camry while stopped at a light when all of a sudden it the engine started racing and it wanted to lunge forward. I keep my foot on the brake very hard, put it in park and kept it in place. I hit the accelator several times and was afraid to put it back in to drive when the light changed. Luckily iit was ok then. I am not sure if it was 2007 or 2008 and not sure of month and date but this form insists you put one in so I put in any date. I really don't remember the time frame. I happened shortly after having the car in for service and the rpms seem high when not accelerating.

I own a 2005 Toyota Camry SE, I was driving on the highway at 70 mph, from Chicago to joplin mo, as I came to the ramp to exit the highway, I put my foot on the brake pedal and started to brake, the car accelerated and wouldn't brake. I had to hit the brake pedal several times before the car finally stopped accelerating. It was a very short winding ramp and I needed to slow down quickly- my family assumed it was me. It happened last summer and it was raining at the time. I was able to avoid an accident but I know it wasn't me, and my car is not on the recall list for a repair- that scares me. That was the only incident with my vehicle.

While slowly pulling into a parking space and with my foot resting on the brake, the engine suddenly revved and the car bolted forward of its own Accord. Despite efforts to brake hard, the car would not cease to move forward and hit a pole. Not until the car was put in reverse and backed out of the pole did the engine stop. There was no confusion during this incident of which pedal was being pushed. As I was already half into the space and had started to decelerate, my foot was on the brake, not the accelerator. Also, a quick check after the incident to ensure that it was indeed the brake that I was pushing proved to be accurate. I have been driving nearly twenty years with no at-fault accidents and a clean driving record. I have never once during that time mistook the accelerator for the brake, and, even if that was the case here, I certainly would not have pushed it so hard when I was already halfway into a parking space that it would cause the engine to react the way it did. I am in my mid-thirties and still have all of my faculties, as well as a quick response time. Fearing to drive the vehicle, I had it towed to the dealership and they inform me, after what they claim to be exhaustive diagnostic testing, that they can find no problems. I will try to get rid of this vehicle as soon as possible as I do not want to be responsible for someone else's death/injury when this occurs again. My sister and her boyfriend, both of whom have Toyota, have told me that this has occurred on their vehicles as well. She has a 2007 Camry and he has a 2009 matrix.
