I HAVE RECEIVED 2 FLOORMAT RECALL NOTICES FROM TOYOTA. IN THEIR 2ND FLOORMAT RECALL NOTICE, TOYOTA STATES "AS AN ADDITIONAL MEASURE INDEPENDENT OF THE VEHICLE-BASED RECALL REMEDY, TOYOTA WILL INSTALL A NEWLY DESIGNED OVERRIDE SYSTEM IN YOUR VEHICLE TO PROVIDE AN EXTRA MEASURE OF CONFIDENCE. THIS SYSTEM WILL CUT ENGINE POWER IN CASE OF SIMULTANEOUS APPLICATION OF BOTH ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS AT CERTAIN SPEEDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS INSTALLATION WILL ALSO BE CONDUCTED AT NO CHARGE TO YOU." MY DEALER HAS ADVISED ME THAT I HAVE THE PROPER FLOORMAT AND IT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED THEREFORE HE CANNOT INSTALL ONLY THE OVERRIDE SYSTEM. HE STATES ALL 3 MODIFICATIONS MUST BE DONE. AS TOYOTA'S RECALL NOTICE CLEARLY STATES THE OVERRIDE SYSTEM WILL BE INSTALLED "INDEPENDENT...." THIS EXTRA MEASURE OF CONFIDENCE SHOULD BE AFFORDED TO ME AND THE OVERRIDE SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN MY 2008 CAMRY LE. REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

11 DAYS AGO THE MARINA TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED BOTH TOYOTA RECALL REPAIRS ON MY 2008 CAMRY. ON MARCH 10, AROUND 0519 AM, I WAS STARTING TO PARK MY CAR AT THE GYM. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW INTO THE PARKING STALL. THE MOMENT THAT I APPLIED THE BRAKES; THE ENGINE STARTED TO RACE; THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD; THE BRAKES WERE USELESS IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE; AND I COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO A PARKED JEEP CHEROKE; THE JEEP INTURN COLLIDED WITH A PARKED SUBARU OUTBACK. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WE ARE WAITING FOR TOYOTA'S TECHNICIANS TO EXAMINE THE CAR. I AM VERY THANKFUL TO GOD THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED IN THIS INCIDENT. HOWEVER, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT MY CAMRY IS UNSAFE AND I WILL NEVER DRIVE IT AGAIN. I HAVE WRITTEN THE VEHICLE OFF AS A TOTAL LOSS. SINCE I AM A JEHOVA WITNESS, I CANNOT SELL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEN I WOULD BE BLOOD-GUILTY IF ANYONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED BY THE VEHICLE. I AM A ELECTRICAL ENGINEER WITH A MASTERS DEGREE IN ELECTRONICS AND CONTROL SYSTEMS. I HAVE 32 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN SYSTEMATICALLY SOLVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS (PARTICULARLY INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES). IN MY CASE, GIVEN THE SIMULTANEOUS FAILURE OF MULTIPLE SYSTEMS (ENGINE RPM CONTROL, BRAKING AND STEERING), THE CAUSE IS DEFINITELY ELECTRICAL , NOT MECHANICAL. MY EXPERIENCE WITH COMPUTER CONTROLS STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT THE KEY HARDWARE INVOLVED IS THE ON-BOARD CPU. THEREFORE, IN MY PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING OPINION, TOYOTA HAS NOT DETERMINED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, MY VEHICLE, WHILE SITTING STILL, LEAPED FORWARD AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO BY A CAMERA. IT WAS REPORTED TO THE POLICE, BUT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE, NO REPORT WAS MADE. I JUST FELT YOU NEEDED TO SEE THE VIDEO. UPDATED 05/11/10. *JB

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. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND RELEASING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WOULD ABNORMALLY ACCELERATE FOR A SHORT DISTANCE AT SPEEDS OF 15-20 MPH.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHERE REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 10V017000: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V388000: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL. NEITHER OF THE REPAIRS RECTIFIED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,548 AND THE CURRENT WAS UNKNOWN.

HELLO, I AM AN OWNER OF A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY WHO JUST GOT MY CAR SERVICED VIA A RECALL THIS WEEK. BEFORE THE RECALL, I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENTS. THIS MORNING, AS I WAS LEAVING A PARKING DECK AT MY GYM, THE CAR SUDDENLY JUMPED FORWARD WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STOP. I WASN'T SURE IF ANY POST-RECALL ISSUES WERE STILL BEING REPORTED... THANK YOU. *TR

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 *BF *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, PROCEEDING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY SURGED FORWARD IN A JERKING MOTION. THE ROAD AND WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE RECALL REMEDY DID NOT CORRECT THE RECURRING DEFECT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ON A MULTI LANE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH, WHEN THE CAR JERKED, ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE BECAME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO TRY TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE (NO ENGINE REV., NO ACCELERATION). I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AND UPON RESTART, THE CAR DROVE HESITANTLY. I MADE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT NIGHT WITH ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS STILL LIT UP. THE NEXT DAY AS THEY BEGAN TO LOOK AT THE CAR, THEY COULD FIND NO STORED COMPUTER CODE FOR THE PROBLEM AND UPON DRIVING THE CAR, IT DROVE NORMALLY. AS A RESULT, THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FIXED NOTHING. A TOYOTA SERVICE TECH ALSO LOOKED AT THE CAR WITH THE SAME RESULT. I NOW AM BEING FORCED TO PICK UP MY CAR UNREPAIRED. AS I LISTENED TO THE NEWS LAST EVENING (MARCH 18, 2010), THEY REPORTED ON A PROBLEM WITH THE EVM MODULE IN TOYOTA COROLLA'S. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR. *TR

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. *TR

I DRIVE A 2008 FOUR DOOR TOYOTA CAMRY LE. I HAVE BEEN WORRIED BY A HESITATION IN EXCELLING AND SLOWING WHEN I PRESS AND RELEASE THE GAS. I MOSTLY NOTICE THIS WHEN GOING BETWEEN 20 & 45 MPH BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS (JUST LESS OFTEN). PRIMARILY AT ABT 35 MPH WHILE HOLDING A STEADY PRESSURE ON THE GAS YOU FEEL THE CAR RANDOMLY DECEL, OR FEEL SLUGGISH, BUT THEN WHEN YOU RELEASE THE GAS YOU FEEL THE ENGINE PULL FASTER EVEN THOUGH YOUR FOOT IS OFF THE GAS. THE RPM EVEN JUMPS. I CALLED TOYOTA IN CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (I DON'T LIKE THE ONE IN CEDAR FALLS, THEY FORGOT TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR ONCE WHEN DOING AN OIL CHANGE & DENIED RESPONSIBILITY), THE CEDAR RAPIDS CAR LOT REJECTED MY REQUEST FOR SERVICE- STATING THERE IS A RECALL AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA WHEN A SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO THE PLACE I PURCHASED IT (OWNED BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO OWN THE TOYOTA IN CEDAR FALLS), THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND ABT 30 MINUTES LATER TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, & THAT THEY DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING (THIS PROBLEM IS HARD TO MISS) THAT THEY CLEANED THE FUEL FILTER & THAT SHOULD SOLVE IT. I DROVE HOME & THE PROBLEM RIGHT FROM MY EXIT PERSISTED. NOW HEARING ABT THE CONCERNS WITH TOYOTA WORRY I AM BEING IGNORED ON A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE?... *TR

I AM WRITING TO YOU IN REGARDS TO MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. I HAVE NOTICE WHENEVER DRIVING ON A ROAD THAT IS NOT PAVED WELL THE SOMETHING UNDER MY VEHICLE CAUSES THE STEERING TO LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT I HOLD ONTO MY STEERING WHEEL TIGHTLY OR IT GOES OUT OF CONTROL WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR IS APART OF THE OTHER RECALL AND I PLAN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT I THING THAT THIS IS ANOTHER THING GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO LOOK AT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. I AM AFRAID EVERYDAY I HAVE TO DRIVE IT. I WANT THEM TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS WELL. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. I AM SENDING THIS INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN MY VEHICLE JUST IN CASE THERE IS AN INCIDENT AND I AM LETTING THE GOVERNMENT KNOW SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS WELL. *TR

MY CAR ACCELERATED FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I HAVE A CAMRY HYBRID WHICH WAS NOT RECALLED BUT FIXED ANYWAY. *TR

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 CAMRYS), 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. *TR

2008 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH BRAKE FAILURE. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE TRYING TO STOP. HE STATES THE VEHICLE DID NOT SEEM TO SLOW DOWN AND THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED THE ABS DID NOT ACTIVATE AS IT WAS DESIGNED. WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, HE NOTICED A LACK OF PULSING . HE QUICKLY RELEASED HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND RE-APPLIED PRESSURE TO NO AVAIL. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CONSUMER CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF TRUCK. THE CONSUMER STATED THE OTHER VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND THE ROADS WERE SLICK. THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *JB

PULLED OUT OF BANK DRIVE THRU BAY. STOPPED (TO TURN LEFT INTO PARKING LOT WAY). PRESSED GAS PEDAL TO TURN.CAR JERKED, ACCELERATED, AND SPUNOUT INTO THE PARKING LOT WAY. BRAKE AND GOOD DRIVING SAVED ME, BUT THIS 2008 CAMRY HAD JUST BEEN REPAIRED FOR RECALL PEDAL ISSUE .. ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN ON 3/15/2010. SIMILAR SITUATION...DRIVING REALLY SLOW IN PARKING LOT. PRESSED GAS, RPM WENT UP, CAR HESITATED, JUMPED/ACCELATED, AND PAUSED BEFORE GOING TO NORMAL SPEED. ACTSL LIKE A TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUE

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY 2008. I REPORTED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY WHEN I WENT FOR MY 32,000 MILE CHECK UP. THE DEALER REP. SAID," OH DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, I'M SURE THERE WILL BE A RECALL BECAUSE WE ARE SEEING IT ON LOTS OF CARS. MY DAUGHTER IN LAW HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON HER 2007 MODEL. BOTH OF OURS WERE GRAY IN COLOR. SEVERAL YEARS LATER AND NO RECALL AND A DISGUSTING DASH BOARD. IT IS SO MELTED THAT IN FLORIDA WITH OUR HIGH BUG COUNT, I HAVE TO PULL BUGS AND WINGS OUT WITH A TWEEZER WHEN WINTER ROLLS AROUND. THE DASHBOARD GETS A LITTLE LESS SOFT IN THE COLD WEATHER, BUT IS STILL STICKY AND CANNOT BE CLEANED. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO LAND ON THE DASHBOARD, A FLOATING PIECE OF PAPER, A BOX IN THE FRONT SEAT THAT FALLS FORWARD AND IT EITHER STICKS OR TAKES A GOUGE OUT OF THE DASHBOARD. *TR

LOSS OF BRAKING WHEN HITTING SLIGHT BUMP WITH ONE FRONT TIRE. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN FRONT WHEELS CONTACT A SLIPPERY PATCH OR ROUGH SPOTS. THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE ALL BRAKING IS LOST FOR A MOMENT, MUCH LIKE HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR 2010 CAMRY MODELS. THIS IS A CAMRY HYBRID MODEL. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AFTER WE BOUGHT OUR CAMRY, WE NOTICED THAT THE DASH PANEL WAS STARTING TO GET STICKY. WE TRIED WIPING IT DOWN BUT IT DID NOT WORK AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. IT ALSO CREATES A TREMENDOUS GLARE THAT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS AS WELL AS A UGLY AND NASTY EYESORE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON FEBRUARY 6, 2010 TO HAVE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RESHAPED AND A THE CARPET PAD MODIFIED. ON FEBRUARY 14, 2010 WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED SHE HEARD THE ENGINE INCREASING IN ACCELERATION ON ITS OWN AND NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SHE WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,445 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000. UPDATED 4/7/2010 *CN THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED ON FEB 14, 2010, UPON REMOVING HER FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL SHE STEPPED PN THE BRAKE. UPDATED 06/18/10 *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 09V388000: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND 10V017000: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL. LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, SHE NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD FALLEN TO THE FLOORBOARD OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 35,800.

TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL FOR FLOOR MAT REPAIRED BY TOYOTA SAN DIEGO. GAS PEDAL WAS CUT DOWN PER TOYOTA SPECS. UPON LEAVING TOYOTA SAN DIEGO TWICE WITHIN A FIFTEEN MIN PERIOD MY FOOT BECAME TRAPPED UNDER GAS PEDAL. DUE TO THE WET CONDITIONS, WHEN I ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE MY FOOT WAS ABLE TO SLIP DOWN THE PEDAL WHICH THEN SPRUNG BACK TRAPPING MY FOOT UNDERNEATH THE PEDAL. *TR

MY TOYOTA DOORS LOCK BY THEMSELVES. I CAN BE SITTING IN THE GARAGE AND THE LOCKS JUST CLICK AND LOCKS, THEM I HAVE TO GO INSIDE THE HOUSE TO GET THE KEYS TO UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. I NEVER MENTION THIS TO MY ROOMMATE UNTIL THIS MONTH FEBRUARY. HE WAS WASHING MY CAR AND HE TOLD ME ON TUES FEB 9TH THAT MY DOORS JUST LOCKED BY THEMSELVES HE SAID I'M GLADE I HAD YOUR CAR KEYS IN MY PANT POCKET. I TOLD HIM I'M GLADE IT HAPPEN TO YOU NOW I KNOW I AM NOT CRAZY. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALER HERE IN STOCKTON CALIFORNIA AND THEY TOLD ME IT DID LOCK ON THE. SO I AM TAKING IT AGAIN ON 2/13/10 AND THIS TIME I AM GOING TO MAKE THEM WRITE DOWN WHY I BROUGHT IT IN. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY FOR MY EMPLOYER. I USE THE CAR FOR WORK, AND FREQUENTLY USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, PRIMARILY CLIMBING OR DESCENDING HILLS (I COMMUTE ALONG THE TACONIC PARKWAY IN NY). IF YOU SET THE CAR AT 60MPH, FOR EXAMPLE, THE CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 50MPH WHEN IT WAS CLIMBING, THEN SUDDENLY DOWN SHIFT AND ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY, LITERALLY PINNING YOU BACK IN YOUR SEAT. THIS WOULD THEN CAUSE THE CAR TO SPEED UP TO ABOUT 75MPH BEFORE COASTING. BUT IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN THE CAR IN ANY WAY UNTIL I EITHER BRAKED OR THE CAR STARTED ASCENDING ANOTHER HILL. WHEN I HAD A CHANCE, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND MENTIONED THIS TO HIM. HE ADMITTED THAT TOYOTA HAD A "SERVICE BULLITEN" OUT TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE AS THERE WERE SOME FLAWS IN THE PROGRAMMING. WHEN I QUESTIONED WHY IT WASN'T A FLEET WIDE RECALL, HE SAID "WE ONLY HAVE TO DO IT WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT IT". CONSIDERING THE WILD EXTREMES OF THE SPEEDS THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING I FOUND THIS COMMENT TO BE EXTREMELY ODD. HOWEVER, AFTER THEY DID THEIR FIX, THE CAR DID IMPROVE AS IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE WILDLY LIKE IT USED TO. BUT EVEN TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR BACK FROM BALTIMORE, IT STILL HAS A WIDE OPEN RANGE FOR IT'S CRUISE CONTROL THAT I THINK IS NOT NORMAL. I HAD THE CRUISE SET FOR 65MPH TODAY, AND THE CAR TOPPED OUT AT 80. + OR - 15MPH IS WAY TOO FAR BEYOND AN ACCEPTABLE RANGE. MY CIVIC CONTROLS THE SPEED WITHIN A +-5MPH RANGE ON THE SAME ROUTE. THE RECENT EVENTS IN THE NEWS MAKES ME WONDER IF THERE ISN'T A LATENT DEFECT IN EITHER THE SENSORS OR THE PROGRAMMING. *CN

I PURCHASED A PRE OWNED 08 TOYOTA CAMRY THIS PAST SUMMER AND HAD NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING IN THAT IT OVER COMPENSATED WHEN MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN. AT A CERTAIN ANGLE - FOR ME 90 DEGREES HARD LEFT - THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS INSTEAD OF COMING BACK TO "NEUTRAL" WHEN YOU LIFT YOUR HANDS. IF I LIFT MY HANDS SLIGHTLY OFF THE WHEEL AND REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS THE CAR WILL "TURN ITSELF" INTO MY GARAGE. A DRIVER EXPECTS THE WHEEL TO COME BACK AND "SLIDE THRU" YOUR HANDS TO NEUTRAL. IN THIS CASE IT DOES NOT COME TO NEUTRAL, YOU HAVE TO ACTIVELY "CORRECT " THE STEERING. IT ALSO SEEMS TO SPEED UP. MY 26 YEAR DAUGHTER COMMENTED THAT IT "TOOK HER BY SURPRISE" AND "TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO." I CALLED TOYOTA IN RESPONSE TO THE PEDAL RECALL AND WHILE ON THE PHONE ASKED THEM ABOUT THE STEERING. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID SHE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT AND COULD NOT ADDRESS IT. SHE TRANSFERRED ME AN I WAITED ON HOLD UNTIL I GAVE UP. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND DESCRIBED THIS PROBLEM. THEY KEPT IT FOR TWO DAYS AND SAID THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. PULLING OUT OF THE SERVICE BAY I REPLICATED IT - STEERING WHEEL LOCKING AND FOOT OFF THE GAS;CAR KEPT GOING BY ITSELF, HARD LEFT - ALMOST RUNNING OVER THREE OF THE TOYOTA STAFF . I HAD TO FIGHT THE CAR TO GET IT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. THEY OBSERVED FOR THEMSELVES BUT JUST ASKED IF I WAS OK . TOYOTA HAS OVER ENGINEERED THEIR PRODUCT. THE STEERING PROBLEM IS ALSO ON THE CAMRY. *TR
