We have two Toyota, a 2006 Camry le and a 2007 Corolla. In both cases in the last month we have experienced sudden surges while the cars were in gear but completely stopped. In the first, the 2006 Camry made a sudden surge ahead while waiting at an intersection. It lasted only a brief moment but it was quite noticeable. I reported it to our Toyota dealer right away and was told that it was not one of the recalled vehicles. The car was out of warranty and the service dept. Seemed unconcerned even though I insisted on the seriousness of it. The second occurred this last week and was far more serious. While awaiting at a stop sign the car began to rev tremendously and the rpms shot into the red zone. I had my foot firmly on the brake and immediately put the car into neutral before shutting off the engine entirely. I re started the engine shortly and no further problems resulted that day. I immediately called the same dealer and detailed the event to the service dept.. I was told to bring it in immediately, which I did.this one was under warranty and they did a code check on it and found nothing amiss. I know there is something wrong! I wrote to Toyota's website but have not received any response other than they would look into the first report filed after the incident with the 2007 Camry.

There are different experiences which compels me to write this complain form. It is about a 2007 Corolla which I own. I was experiencing acceleration problem about this car. To put it more precisely the car has a tendency to accelerate at different rate. I am sure it is not because of changing shifts because I also have another Corolla of the same year and model. At first when I start the car and shift to drive more the car has a tendency to jump which is more like when you change a motorcycle gear without clutching. And while I accelerate, sometimes the gas pedal just goes down but the car does not move. When I experienced this I took the car to the dealer and I was told by the mechanic that it was not a problem of the car but it is how some computer chip in the car behaves. This was in 2008. In 2009, I doubt gained strength when I was taking my cousin sister and her friend to my cousins wedding. I was driving through the leveled road in intestate highway and they even raised the question that there is something wrong with the car. Still I experience the problem. Though I believe that its a manufacturing problem because the experience which I have with one car is unusual compared to the other.

I was in the drive through line at mcdonald's in madison Georgia. After paying for my order, I press the accelerator to move up to the next window and "zoom" my car accelerated and rear ended a truck in front of me. My passenger nor I were injured, just shaken up a bit. The car continued to accelerate even after running into the truck. I turned off the car to stop the acceleration. This incident has only occurred once. However, the car feels like it pushes off quickly most of the time. As a result of the crash my entire front end was damaged and had to be repaired. The Toyota repairman told me they could not find anything that would cause the car to accelerate. They fix the damage cause by the crash.

While driving on a crowded 4 lane street in wadsworth Ohio, my car suddenly lost acceleration, it did not stall but the check engine light came on and the speed reduced to 5 to 10 miles instantly with busy traffic all around me, I put my hazard lights on right away because there were cars coming behind me at normal speed, I slowly moved my car cautiously to the furthest right lane, where I was able to go into a parking lot. This has happened on several occasions, I was able to get the car to my mechanic where he hooked it up to a computer analyzer, the result showed that the control module performance code P0607, which is a computer malfunction, we have contacted a Toyota dealer, we have an appointment for them to do there own diagnosis, and hopefully fix the problem, in the mean time I cannot drive car and not worry about my safety on the road.

It's a 2007 Corolla. I don't usually drive much before and I do drive a lot since I transfer to college and have to go on fwy. About 3 months ago, once I tried to stop on the road because right light, I left the gas pedal and wait to decelerate and then step on the break, but it didn't, I almost hit the car before me and it's really hard to stop I had to step it really hard. From than time, I began to realize that there might be a problem for it. I cant tell exactly how often it happen, but somehow I know when it goes up to 60mph, and it will decelerate. When it drops to around 45, it stops to drop. And when I go on the fwy, when it hits certain speed like 75, some times it won't slow down even I leave my foot from the gas pedal after I knew the tyt petal problem and the steering problem, I wonder if my car was involved. However, this model is not on the list, I still worried about it. Because tyt might hide the problem, or they did find it now and they will find it later. This week I got a speeding ticket in ca I-5 fwy and I doubt that part of the reason is that the "rare" accelerate problem. I don't know how to fix it because there's no evidence to show the problem right now. I hope that the us will investigate all model from 2000 to 2010 to ensure people safe.

I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla which upon cruise control activation and/or reactivation speeds up to desired speed (normal) but then feels as if it is stuck in the accelerate mode and will continue to accelerate until it finally thumps or thuds into cruise. I've noticed this about 90% of the time when I impose cc. I have done nothing to attempt to correct the problem.

- Henrietta, NY, USA

The contact owned a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact was driving approximately 55 mph on normal road conditions and unexpectedly, there was an increase of acceleration. In addition, when the brakes were applied the vehicle surged and the engine idled excessively. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on ten separate occasions for the identical failures and the technician was unable to duplicate the failures. The dealer stated that the floor mat may have contributed to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired for the malfunction and was traded in for a new 2008 vehicle. The failure mileage was 3. the VIN was unknown. The contact no longer owns a the vehicle.

- Converse, TX, USA

I own a 2007 Toyota Corolla that is not involved in the recall, but I experience jerking on acceleration the first 1 to 2 miles each day. The jerky acceleration occurs on flat surfaces. It seems to only happen on cold starts first thing in the morning. I am concerned that my accelerator or the electronics may be defective. Also, it is hard to control the steering on the highway. The car roams into other lanes easily. I am concerned that some parts on my vehicle may need to be recalled.

- North Royalton, OH, USA

I own a Toyota Corolla 2007. I purchased it as a brand new car. I have been encountering many life- threatening experiences for unwanted acceleration while I pushed the brake pedal in my car. I noticed that the unsafe arrangement and design of pedals engage the gas pedal while pushing the brake pedal. In one incident I hardly avoid going underneath a truck just by turning off the car. I really feel unsafe when I drive my car.

2007 Corolla S. uncontoled accelleration on three occassions. Car brought to dealer 3 times. Problem not found or resolved as mechanic could not duplicate the problem.

- Miami, FL, USA

We have a 2007 Toyota Corolla. We experienced sudden acceleration two times in the fall of 2009. One time it was on our county road going around a curve. My wife let up on the gas and it sped up. She was able to get it under control and stopped. The other time it was in a parking lot. She had damage to the front bumper for a little under $1000. No report was made since we paid for it ourselves and there was no damage to any other vehicle. We took the car into Toyota and they came to the conclusion that both incidences were driver error. We called Toyota headquarters and they say the same thing since our vehicle is not on the recall list. I don't believe it was driver error. I believe it is in the electronics of the vehicle.

I was in a parking lot, parking my car. Just before I had the car in its parking place, the car went wild, totally out of control. It went up the slope bordering the parking lot, then made a turn, and re-entered the parking lot. It came to a stop when it bumped into two other parked cars.
