I have a new 2010 Camry with 2,000 miles on it. I read that Toyota "has agreed" to a brake over-ride on new vehicles - but mine is "only" to get the pedal fix. Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes. This new vehicle I'm driving "needs" the brake over-ride. Let's not let them get out of this fix. It will only lead to more law suits and lost lives. This needs to be pushed at all the upcoming hearings and they need to agree to the fix. Not "just" new productions. This car I have is a "new" 2010 with 2,000 miles. Yes, there was a crash, but not with mine "yet".
My wife was driving our newly purchased Toyota Camry SE when she notice that it was accelerating out control. When she tld me about it, I dismissed it as a result of her high heels and the cold temperatures of upstate NY. About a month later same happen to me and I ended up in a pole. Afew days later same problem occur. Just when I was going to blame the low temperatures..enter the massive recall of Toyota know defected product.
Another Toyota consumer with no fix, they keep saying your car is not included your not having those issues... your car was built in Japan... I don't care it is having mind of its own and I suggested to them it is not floor mats etc... that at that time and still I felt it to be a computer issue with gas pedal as my car indeed has a mind of its own and takes off in a flash or will not stop engine continues to race RPM with brake smashed down I have own this 2010 Camry since June of 2009 have 2000 miles of use out of it and shaky ones to say the least... no concern from Toyota run around all the time like im making up stories as again your car is not included in these problems $31,000 problem for me as car is not safe is not usable and can not be traded no one wants and values continue to fall quickly....... make them accountable.
I am not a Toyota owner, however I believe I am the victim of a Toyota accident. Yesterday, my car was parked outside of my office at around 10:45 am I hear a crash and see my vehicle (2008 Chevy equinox) pick up off the ground. Vehicle owner phuong vo, driving a 2010 Toyota Camry had slammed into the back of my car, and damaged it from front to back, including removing my back axel completely. When I came outside, there was an additional truck following this Camry. Apparently the Camry had hit this persons car, he got in it to follow the driver, and then witnessed the driver hit an additional 5 cars before crashing into mine and coming to a stop! now I am very upset because, not only does this Toyota driver not have enough insurance to cover my damages, but his insurance company is refusing to pay for my damages and provide me with a rental vehicle. I did nothing wrong. Just went to work yesterday, and now I am out of a $500 deductible, and my vehicle is expected to take weeks before being repaired. Furthermore, the St louis police department had reported that when an officier tried to move the vehicle it seemed as if the gas pedal was stuck to the floor.
My 2 months old 2010 Toyota Camry was in accident due to not able to stop. The brake was applied but gas pedal was stuck causing vehicle to hit the wall. The resulting damage was broken front axcel, infalting both front air bags etc.. the total repair cost was around $14000 my daughter was driving the car and she is experienced driver. She had mentioned that she was not able to stop the car even though the brake was applied. At the time of accident, the Toyota recall was not made public so I ignored her complaint.

In trying to park the 2010 Camry Toyota in the garage, there was an accelerator failure in that the car suddenly picket up great speed causing a car crash and damage. The incident was reported to Toyota, todate - 14 days later - the problem is not fully resolved. It seems that Toyota administration is denying any responsibilities. We need your help too.
The contact leased a 2010 Toyota Camry on December, 29 2009. The contact has not experienced the acceleration failure; however, she requested the dealer to purchase the vehicle back and they stated that they were not interested. The contact is concerned about the safety risk and has refused to drive the vehicle. She has also notified her state attorney general who informed her that they were unable to offer her any assistance. The contact also called the Toyota hotline several times and they did not allow her to file a complaint. The VIN was not available. There are no failures at this time.
This complaint relates to our claim of unresolved well documented safety issues, (ie, uncontrolled acceleration), associated with our 2010 Toyota Camry purchased at cain Toyota in North canton Ohio on 7/30/09. Believing that Toyota has inaccurately assigned the cause of the uncontrolled acceleration & resultant deaths & injuries, (namely faulty floor mats and/or a sticking gas pedal shaft) we have not driven our 2010 Camry for months as indicated by the current 1073 miles recorded on the odometer. We believe that either unintentionally or by management directive Toyota is misidentifying the cause of the numerous Toyota accidents and deaths. This avoidance tactic is very similar to that adopted by Ford/Firestone in the numerous year 2000 Explorer rollover accidents which also resulted in death and injuries. After first denying any wrong-doing, Ford, (not Firestone), admitted to the safety hazard such that we were compensated by Ford for both our 1993 & 2000 Explorer. Without doubt the extensive involvement of the NHTSA in the Explorer accidents and related safety issues was instrumental in motivating Ford management into doing what is right for Explorer owners. (I know, because we possessed two Explorer that benefited from Ford's corporate responsibility. At this time with Toyota we believe that the safety hazard(s) are far more serious and the Toyota "denial stage" is far more entrenched in the minds of Toyota management possibly due to their long record of excellent safety. However, just one account of the 4 deaths on 8/28/09 in California when an off-duty highway patrol officer, experienced with many types of vehicles, drove for some 5 miles at speeds of 120mph was subject to uncontrolled acceleration in his Lexus "loaner". Toyota's logic in blaming the floor mats reflects technical incompetence at best and out-of-control stupidity at the worst. We all recognize that Toyota's safety record has been excellent in the past but even the deity has made mistakes!!!!
Since the time I bought my new 2010 Toyota Camry, I saw issues with the way the car transmission worked at speeds from 0-50mph. Starting from the first week of my using the car, I went to the dealership a total of 4 times, only to be sent back after a "test drive" saying nothing is wrong. In my own language, I had been explaining the issue which now looks exactly similar to the 'sticking gas pedal" recall recently informed by Toyota. My car was still accelerating while braking, or would start braking when my foot is off the accelerator. I also used to feel a jerk when the car moved between speeds of 0-50mph. I commute 70 miles daily to work and I have noticed this daily to the point that I have started ignoring out of deep frustration. The dealer test drives and causes embarrassment saying they cannot recreate my issue. I logged an incident with Toyota (091214-000053). It led to my fourth visit to the dealer with the same answer. Toyota's response from a case manager was that if they cannot recreate they will not do anything. I almost feel this is a hopeless case as I don't think neither Toyota nor the dealership were truly serious about assisting me. They could have at least informed me that there are some potential issues with their vehicles that they are working on. I reopened a new case (100130-000604). So far I have received no recall notice from Toyota. I don't think they are handling this the right way. I haven't had any major incidents, but I don't think I can wait for that to happen to get the attention of Toyota or its dealer. This is not a smart way of solving an issue. I feel disappointed, angry and helpless.

I just bought a 2010 Toyota Camry and they did not tell me that there were 3 million in recalls on the vehicle. That is very dishonest. I also took my car to the service center and they said they did not know about the recall. That is lying. Toyota did not look at my floormats or accelerator. They did nothing to secure my safety or evaluate my floormat or accelerator when I went in there.

I approached the main intersection in my 2010 Camry from a side street at a stop sign. When I put my foot on the brake the car continued to accelerate into the main intersection. I collided with an oncoming car causing approx. $3400. There were no injuries and the damage to the front of the car was repaired. Only the body damage was corrected on the vehicle. No internal repairs have been made as of yet.

11/24/09 I was driving my 2010 Camry in a parking lot. My children were in the back seat. I was traveling 10 mph. My right foot was not on the gas, nor the brake, the torque of the engine was sufficient for moving us along while looking for a parking space. My right foot was above the brake as I was slowly looking for a parking spot. Suddenly, I heard a very loud vvrrooommmm and the car spontaneously accelerated and lunged forward approximately 20 feet. Thankfully, I was able to brake quickly and stopped the car. I then took it to the dealership. Conicelli ran a diagnostic on my car. Later that day when I picked up the car, they said they found nothing. When I asked them where the "spontaneous acceleration" (a problem Toyota earlier in the day told me they were having) would have appeared on the diagnostic, they were at a loss. Let me be very clear that there was not a floor mat in the driver's side. I do not believe the "spontaneous acceleration" was caused by the "mat issue." I know my experience was real and not caused by driver error. I feel the problem is elsewhere and exacerbated for some drivers because they had the floor mats in place. Please press Toyota to get to the bottom of this issue. I no longer feel safe in my 2010 Toyota Camry that I bought for safety reasons in the first place. Thank you.
