The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. While attempting to decelerate, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning causing her to crash into a pole. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The manufacturer sent an investigator to retrieve the black box from the vehicle however, they were unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer informed the contact that the crash was not caused by a manufacturing defect and offered no further assistance. The manufacturer did not give the dealer authorization to repair the vehicle and the vehicle was not repaired. The current and failure mileage was 6,000. Updated 03/24/11 updated 1/5/11

Camry 4-cyl

  • 6,500 miles
Heading East on rt. 41 and upon intering an intersection on a green ligth I slowed to allow 2 cars to pass from the oncoming East traffic before making a left turn North onto a 4 lane street. Upon accelerating to make the turn, the car hit the right curb at a high rate of speed causing me to quickly steer to the left to stop me from hitting the on coming traffic from the North.. I managed to cross two lanes but in the third lane was hit by an oncoming South bound vehicle.. my car was then stopped by the left hand curb. The other vehicle was demolished and $8,000 damage was caused to my front end. The air bags in the demolished car were deployed but mine were not. I feel as though the vehicle suddenly excelerated causing the accident so after having the car repaired and checked I could not feel safe in it so traded it off the one that I could.

On 9 Dec 2010, I drove a rental car, 2011 Toyota Camry (blue) from Virginia back to New Jersey (NJ). The car had 3316 miles when I rent on 8 Dec 2010 in NJ. At approximately 6:35 pm edt on 9 Dec 2010, I was driving in the most left express lane at 60 mph in prince george's county in Maryland. The driver from my right hand passenger side tended to pass me from the right, and that car was also very close to me. I could not even see the rear light of that vehicle. I was forced to slow down the 2011 Toyota Camry to avoid collision, but the car could not simply slow down. In order to avoid the collision, I shift part of my car to the shoulder in my left hand side. Then I discovered a car parked on the shoulder with no signals/lights. I put on brakes the 2011 Toyota Camry really hard to the floor, but the car could not slow down and could not stop completely. The brake system in the 2011 Toyota Camry was obviously failed and it was even accelerated during the last few seconds prior to the collision. The 2011 Toyota Camry was finally hit right onto back of the parked car (on the shoulder). After the severe collision at the front driver side, none of the airbags in the 2011 Toyota Camry was deployed from this sever front driver side collision. Most of all, I was not able to stop the 2011 Toyota Camry due to its braking system failure! the mileage after the collision was 3595 and the total number of miles driving during this trip was 279 miles (8-9 Dec 2010). I was hurt severely in the lower back/lumbar spine area. I was very lucky that I was survived from this severe car accident.

I was slowed pulling into a parking spot. The car suddenly gave a roaring sound and headed full speed ahead. I assume I must have let my foot slip onto the gas but I'm not sure that is what happened. I thought I'd report to see if anyone else's incurs a problem. I was assured the sudden acceleration problem did not exist on the 2011's. the force was so hard, it knocked a Toyota truck in front of me out of the parking space and into the street. It was not drivable and had to be towed. I also took out the van beside me. My Camry suffered bumper and lights damage and a slight ripple to the hood. The damage was unbelievably slight considering the damage to the other two vehicles.
