My Toyota Camry 2006, purchased on 3/29/06 was involved in two major accidents and it was totalled after the second major accident which occoured on 3/30/07. On the first major accident, my wife who was driving the vehicle, tried to stop the vehicle at the signal, instead it raced forward on its own and hit another vehicle. On the second major incident, after stopping the car and allowing another car to pass on the same road in the opposite direction, she made a left turn and the car accelerated uncontrollably and hit a big tree standing at an elevated part of the road. By looking at the scene anybody can come to the conclusion that some kind of malfunctioning of the acceleration mechanism has happened. In both of these major accidents, none of the air-bags deployed. The same car had another similar incident but no property was damaged and therefore, that incident was not reported to police but a co-worker drove the vehicle out of the retaining pond. In this incident, my wife after parking the car, tried to pull it a little further and then the car jumped across the concrete bump and fell into the retaining pond. Luckly there was no water.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Camry. While driving uphill approximately 5 mph and making a right turn into a driveway the vehicle began accelerating over 80 mph and within seconds the vehicle went airborne over a retaining wall and into someone's yard. The tires blew out when the vehicle landed on the ground and the rpms continued to increase until she turned the engine off. She received injuries to the right knee, ankle, cuts and bruises. The insurance company investigated the crash and concluded that the floor mat caused the failure to occur since it was not hooked to the mat. The insurance company also determined that the vehicle was destroyed; however, she sold the vehicle to the salvage yard. Toyota concluded that her VIN was not included in the recall; therefore, they would not assist her with the cost for the damages. The current and the failure mileages were 19,773. Updated 03/19/10. The consumers insurance company concluded an unhooked floor mat was the cause even though there was no evidence it was jammed under the pedal at the time of the inspection. Updated 07/14/10

The brake does not work every time when I drive the car on rough road such as snow and ice road, and repairing road. I went to Toyota dealers trying to solve the problem, but they said that is due to the anti-lock mechanism! this is really dangerous. I drive very slowly when road is rough.

I have Toyota Camry -2006 model which was bought new in Feb 2006. It has approx 32,000 miles on it mostly driven by myself, 37 year man as of today and my wife(31 years) also drives sometimes since last two years. Last Sunday 01/31/2010 my wife, myself and my two sons were inside car and my wife was driving this car and was stopping car in drive way. We were almost stopped and suddenly it accelerated and my wife was screaming that it is not stopping even she almost standing on brakes. Meantime it hit closed garage door and went inside garage with high speed. Right mirror went inside the garage wall and finally its car front hit base of gas-water heater and car stopped. Windshield was fully damaged, upper hood was bended, right mirror was broken and front of car was also hit but airbag did not pop up because right side mirror could have reduced speed before front hit gas-water heater. Big tragedy was avoided because water heater was gas based and it was on. Also right side both doors were touched to wall so cannot be opened. My two sons 2 years and 8 years were inside care and left side back door had child lock so only door can be opened was driver side which my wife was driving and she was scared to death with this incident. Luckily fire did not start and we all were able to come out safely. I called local Toyota dealer twice and he refused to listen me saying this car 2006 Camry is not part of Toyota recall and if you have to report this incident call Toyota's corporate number. I call Toyota number twice and they also mentioned that this model is not part of recall. I clearly told them that I wanted to report this incident so other people will know that something could happen with this model car also. At the sametime I called my auto insurance company and they advised me to tow car to repair facility. As of now repair is in progress and I am expecting to get car by end of next week. I would like NHTSA to investigate this type of incident.

My 2006 Toyota Camry crashed at 6:40pm of Dec. 4, 2009. When I was near to exit 65 of highway 26 (beaverton, or), the car in front of me put on brakes. I put on brakes too and the distance between my car and the car in front of me was about 50 meters. But my car accelerated until it hit the car in front of me. Historically I knew my car automatically accelerated sometimes. But it seems only last for a few seconds when I drove it downhill. Currently Toyota's recall only includes Camry model after 2007. I think Camry 2006 should be investigated too.

When I turn on the engine, my 2006 Camry engine does not return to normal idling either at all or not for a long period of time. It doesn't go back to normal idling speed - - the car will continue to roll forward and the brake must be applied to keep it from going forward.

2006 Toyota accelerates after the accelerator is released. This has been experienced by multiple drivers of the same vehicle.

I am concerned that my 2006 Toyota Camry is not on the recall list. While reversing out of a parking place the vehicle accelerated and crashed into a tree then surged forward at a high rate of speed back into the parking area with trees that I had reversed out of. My foot was firmly on the brake but the vehicles engine revved and surged back through the trees. Impact with tree on left drivers side first then vehicle slammed into tree on the right side. There is no time to react to this type of deadly speed acceleration. When my vehicle did come to a stop it was in neutral. The damage to the vehicle was $4,300, my insurance doubled and I am lucky to be alive and that I didn't kill someone in the parking lot. Toyota has no recall for 2006 Camry but I have counted 50 to 60 plus complaints on this site alone under brakes, ignition, acceleration etc. Toyota says I will have to pay for the repair which is totally unfair. My vehicle has depreciated quickly in value because of this defect, the accident, and used parts being used in the accident repair. I feel as if I am taking a chance with my life and the life of my child each time I drive this car. You cannot get the car into neutral fast enough to avoid a crash. This is deadly safety issue.

The accelerator pedal seems to be "sticky" and has been this way since purchase - if you depress the pedal, the car lurches forward and it is difficult to control the speed when in stop and go traffic, especially. This resulted in my car lurching forward (with a light press of the pedal) into the car in front of me. No injuries, but my front bumper was cracked from the impact. There was less than 5 feet in between our cars at the time, but enough force to put the trailer hitch of the car in front of me through the bumper.

Waiting in office driveway to make right turn North on roadway. All of a sudden instead of turning, my car suddenly accelerated extremely fast straight across 4 lanes of North & South traffic. Applied brake hard & was lucky to stop just short of slamming into sidewalk & stores. It was a miracle no cars broadsided me on my right or left.
