I'm a school counselor. I was going home from work at about 3:50 pm yesterday, 4-6-2010, going South on rt. 222, about 4 miles North of the denver exit. I went to pass another car and pushed hard on my 2008 Toyota Camry's accelerator. It locked and kept accelerating as I pulled into the passing lane. I took my foot off the pedal all the way, maybe a half a foot, but all I heard was the engine racing as I saw myself getting closer to the car in the lane in front of me. I panicked and began to stomp down on the pedal several times, I figure I was above eighty mph by then. As I was trying to decide how to steer around everyone I hammered down on the pedal again and it stopped. The car accelerated ok and I carefully used the gas until I got the car home. I then called the new holland Toyota dealership who did the recall fix on 3-27-2010, told doug what just happened. I never had the car do this before! I always thought it had a good smooth ride. Doug gave me the 800 number to call Toyota to file for a case manager. I'm very upset and afraid to use this car for me or my family. I feel like it's unbelievable that it happened to me but it did. What is being done about this terrible situation? please help me with what I should do next.

I have a 2008 Toyota Camry, when starting my auto, the engine races for appx. 30 seconds, then goes down. Also in the last 5 weeks I have notice that the car lurches forward then goes back to the spend I have it on. I am very nervous driving this car, this problem just started happening about 5 or 6 weeks ago, at first I thought I was just thinking it was happening, but it seems to be getting more frequent. I have to drive it, it is the only car I have, so doctors appointments have to be keep, fear or not, I hope it does not go speeding an not stop, my mother is 82 a very afraid to get into the car, but we have to go places. We live on roads with inclines. Very steep hills, one has a stop sign at the foot of it, but so far it does stop. It makes a loud engine noise. Like a grinding of the engine, at first the brakes hesitate stopping but I push really hard on them and they stop it. I took it in for an inspection sticker an they said it passed. I told them about the problem. They said they did not know what to do about it at this time.

My Toyota Camry pedal was in the sticking position and when I went to brake the brakes would not do their job and I couldn't stop until I bumped the car in front of me. Prior to this incident, I had experienced sudden acceleration a few time over the last two and half years with this car, but never any sticking or break failure.

I had driven down the alley and was pulling my 2008 Toyota Camry hybrid into the parking place beside our garage behind our house. When suddenly it just accelerated and I crashed into our wooden fence doing about $500 worth of damage to the fence and denting the front right side of the car (we have not had that fixed nor have we gotten an estimate yet). When the car accelerated, I was only about three feet from the garage so I was not able to get the car stopped in time to avoid hitting the fence. Fortunately, the brakes did work and I had been only going very slowly when it happened (I was almost stopped) so I was not injured - just shaken. Thus far it has not happened again, but after hearing about the high speed accidents, we remain concerned about the possibility of this happening again.

Random, infrequent engine failure at freeway/highway speeds. At constant highway speeds (steady state speed), car engine dies out and car decelerates (without alert and for no reason). This car has always done this on an infrequent basis since purchased brand new. This happens about twice per month. I phoned the dealership and they said they have to see it/experience the problem. At around 41K miles I brought the car to Toyota for their inspection (this was prior to any recalls on Camry), they cleaned carbon from the engine. This did not stop the problem. About twice per month the car dies out when traveling at a constant highway speeds (for no reason). On 3/5/10 I brought the car back to the dealer ship (it has about 81K miles on it). The car has a valid extended warranty on it that was purchased at time of purchasing the car. Due to random engine failure at constant highway speeds this car is extremely unsafe.

I was driving my Toyota Camry,2008 model on a dry, flat road in clear, dry weather, going about 55 mph. The road was 2 lanes with no shoulders on either side. I swerved into the left lane to pass a truck but saw a curve approaching and went to swerve back in behind the truck, braking to slow down. As I did the braking, the car rapidly increases speed so I put on brakes harder but the car kept going at speed. There was no room to go right ( no shoulder) in order to avoid crashing into the truck in front of me, so I swerved left, into the on-coming lane. There were no cars in that lane. My car continued to accelerate and it veered across the lane, into a ditch alongside the road and turned over, landing on the roof. The other 2 occupants of the car and myself had our seat belts on and were now suspended from them and unhurt except for minor scratches and bruises. The car was badly damaged and required about $10,000 worth of repairs over a 7 week period. There no other vehicles involved nor was there any peoperty, public or private, damaged.

I own a 2008 Toyota Camry that was one of the vehicles recalled. My dealer did provide me with a rental car for three days and repaired the gas pedal on 2/05/10. Today - while out on the highway and starting up a small hill, when I touched the gas pedal - it started revving up really loud, I immediately did what I have been told to do - put the brake on hard and finally the revving stopped. The car then started to drive ok again. I am concerned that -- had I not put the braked on hard - the car would have gone out of control. This is not a normal reaction ! I did call my dealer and plan to take the car back in tomorrow to have it checked again. I travel a great deal and am worried about my safety. I am reporting this in case the unforeseen should happen. Also - to date - there has been no resolution to the car mat issue. Updated 03/09/10

I purchased my Camry in 2007 from carson Toyota in los angeles. On the second day after purchased my vehicle I already started experiencing electrical problems with my moon roof. On some occasions it would not close properly. Instead of pushing the close button, I had to tap it till it closes completely and careful not to over tap or it would open on its own again. This problem comes and goes and I've had the dealer checked my car back then. Overall, they gave me a hard time, first response I received from their mechanic was "that's how it is" so I argued with him that you don't tap a moon roof button hoping it would close properly. I also spoke to the sales agent who sold it to us and just gave the answer "it's a machine, sometimes it breaks down" which made me upset as I just bought the car a week before and if he told me that then, I would not have sunk $20,000 into it if it would start acting up on the second day! anyway, they checked my moonroof and could not find anything wrong and told me to come back next week if it still didn't work. Unfortunately it stopped and in the past 2.8 years this problem keeps surfacing and disappearing up to now. Then after living with this defect, I had the unfortunate experience of sudden acceleration when my gas pedal got stuck. I have bad back problems but with sudden panic was able to reach down and grab the carpet to loosen the pedal. Since then I have not felt safe in my car and I'm afraid to press on the gas pedal to hard. I'm concerned about the recall as it does not prevent the accelerations from happening and if I hit my brakes on a busy street and the car dies, I'm afraid of getting hit from behind or on the side especially with my son in the car. To summarize: I've had an acceleration and electrical problems with this Toyota. If I may put in a request, Toyota needs to take back this car and refund it's current worth at the time of the recall, so that we can purchase a safer family car.

I have a 2008 Camry SE which I took in for the floormat and acceleration recalls. The car still accelerates when I first start it. I can drive up to 30 miles an hour with out applying gas. The dealer has worked on the car multiple times and can not solve the problem. Incident date is the last time it happened. It happens every time the car has sat for awhile.
