2001 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY CE/LE/XLE. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 50 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD ROAR IN THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO SPEEDS OF 70 MPH. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES BUT THEY WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A HOUSE.

THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNDER 101,301. THE VIN WAS NOT ACCEPTED.

MY 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY 'S GAS PEDAL STICKS. WHEN AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHEN IT IS TIME TO GO I PUSH DOWN AND THE PEDAL WONT MOVE . THEN IT UNSTICKS AND SHOOTS FORWARD. IT EVEN ACCELERATED ONCE. THROUGH THE YEARS I MENTIONED IT TO MECHANICS AND THEY THINK I'M CRAZY. WHEN THE TOYOTA RECALLS STARTED I CALLED MY DEALER AND HE SAID THE RECALLS DON'T PERTAIN TO 2001 TOYOTA CAMRYS. *TR

THE FAILURE IS THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK. IT STICKS WHEN I AM AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND IT'S MY TURN TO GO AND HAS BEEN STICKING EVERY SINCE I HAD THE CAR. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST THE CAR NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT IT BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I AM AFRAID THAT I AM GOING TO HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE I DO HAVE TO REALLY MASH THE GAS TO GET IT TO MOVE. THE ONLY INCIDENT WAS IN 2005 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. SHE STOPPED TO GET GAS. WHEN SHE FINISHED AND GOT IN THE CAR TO LEAVE SHE PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK WHEN SHE GAVE IT GAS SHE BAKED INTO A POLE. THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS TO MY CAR SHE WAS NOT HURT SO THE POLICE WASN'T CALLED. *TR

I HAD AN ACCIDENT RECENTLY WITH MY 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY. MY HUSBAND ALSO HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THE SAME CAR A FEW YEARS BACK. BUT BOTH ARE KIND OF SAME SCENARIO. THE BRAKES DON'T WORK PROPERLY IN RAIN.TRIED TO STOP BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND WE REAR ENDED CARS BEFORE US. *TR

2001 TOYOTA CAMRY WENT OUT OF CONTROL WHEN OUR SON WAS DRIVING ON A RAMP AND ROLLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CAR WAS UPSIDE DOWN TRAPPING OUR SON IN THE CAR UPSIDE DOWN. HE HAD TO BREAK THE SIDE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. IT IS COMPLETELY TOTAL DAMAGE AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY COMPENSATED FOR THE VALUE OF THE CAR. HE WAS SAVED MIRACULOUSLY WITH MINOR CUTS AND BRUISES. POLICEMAN GAVE HIM TICKET AFTER HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR. IT WAS NIGHT AND COLD. *TR

2001 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS TOWED ON 3/27/06 AS A RESULT OF OIL LEAK FROM ENGINE. ALL DATA WAS SENT TO TOYOTA WHO SENT IT TO AN INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR WHO DENIED CLAIM.. I WOULD LIKE TO RESUBMIT THE CLAIM AND DOCUMENTS TO YOUR OFFICE FOR A REEVALUATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST BRAKE PRESSURE AND CONTINUED MOVING THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

THE GAS PEDAL IN MY TWO THOUSAND ONE (2001) TOYOTA CAMRY STICKS. IT LOCKS AND FAILS TO ACCELERATE ONCE I LET UP OFF THE GAS UPON REACHING MAXIMUM SPEED THEN NEED TO GIVE GAS TO MAINTAIN ACCEPTABLE SPEED SECONDS LATER. EQUALLY IT FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN IDLING IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AND NEEDS TO PICK UP SPEED AS TRAFFIC BEGINS TO MOVES. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT AND FORTUNATELY NEVER LOCKED IN UNDESIRED ACCELERATION. PLEASE CONSIDER HOW THE MECHANICS OF THAT PROBLEM RELATES TO THE CURRENT TOYOTA GAS PEDAL PROBLEMS, IF AT ALL. I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM NHTSA OR TOYOTA AS I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING ANOTHER CAR DUE TO THE VEHICLE'S EXPENSIVE EMISSIONS FAILURE RATHER THAN GAS PEDAL ISSUES. YOU ARE HOWEVER WELCOME TO ACCESS MY VEHICLE IF IT COULD HELP IN LOOKING INTO THE HISTORY OF WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON WITH GAS PEDALS. *TR

TOYOTA 2001 CAMRY - SUDDEN ACCELERATION. WHILE PARKING THE CAR, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE CAR EMBEDDED ITSELF IN A DEEP SNOWBANK APPROXIMATELY 6 TO 8 FEET AWAY. NO INJURIES, MINOR DAMAGE TO GRILL. THE CAR WAS SO DEEPLY EMBEDDED THAT IT TOOK SEVERAL HOURS TO DIG IT OUT. THE FRONT TWO WHEELS WERE ELEVATED - THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ON A SLANT OF ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEGREES. A 48 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND AN 8 YEAR OLD CHILD WERE IN THE CAR. *TR

2001 TOYOTA SOLARA WITH 147000 MILES. GAS PEDAL HAS A CATCH IN IT WHEN IT IS ALL THE WAY BACK, OR RETURNED. WHEN YOU GO TO PRESS DOWN, IT WON'T GO DOWN AND FEELS LIKE IT IS CATCHING ON SOMETHING. IT WILL SUDDENLY RELEASE CAUSING SOME OVER ACCELERATION. OUR LOCAL DEALER SAYS THIS IS NOT PART OF THE TOYOTA RECALL AND IT WILL COST $35.00 TO CLEAN IT UP TO FIX. IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT IT BEFORE IT'S FIXED LET ME KNOW. *TR
