I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY IN JULY 2009. I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM VISITING RELATIVES IN NJ. IN EARLY AUGUST. I WAS ON A STRETCH OF HIGHWAY LEADING INTO 290 WORCHESTER FROM THE MASS PIKE AUBURN,WHEN I ACCELERATED TO PASS A SEMI TRUCK AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK. I REACHED A SPEED OF 85MPH, SO I PUNCHED THE PEDAL WITH MY FEET AND IT DISLODGED. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE PRIME TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN SACO,ME.'S SERVICE DEPT. IN NOV. WHEN I BROUGHT IN THE VEHICLE FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. THEY HAD ME REMOVE THE FLOOR MATS. I RECENTLY HAD THE RECALL REPAIR, SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANOTHER INCIDENT, BUT I AM STILL LEERY ABOUT ACCELERATING QUICKLY AND HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO TEST PRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. *TR

GOT A TOYOTA CAMRY LE APRIL 3RD 2010, TODAY IS APRIL 9TH, I WAS ENTERING A PARKING SLOT BETWEEN 2 PARKED CARS (DRIVERS WERE INSIDE THEIR CARS WAITING FOR THE SHIFT TO START), THE CAR DID AN UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING SPOT, WAS ABOUT TO HIT THE CAR ON MY LEFT, LUCKILY HIT THE BRAKES IN TIME. THE DRIVER IN THE PARKED CAR ON THE LEFT WAS LOOKING AT ME LIKE I WAS SOME CRAZY GUY WHO DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. NOTE TO READERS- I HAD NOT TAKEN THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY, DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT EXACTLY WAS WRONG WITH TOYOTAS, WENT AND GOT ONE BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING GOOD DEALS, BUT YOU DON'T TAKE IT LITE, IT'S A SERIOUS ISSUE, YOU'LL FEEL IT ONLY WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU, I'M GOING TO RETURN THE CAR TOMORROW, NOT SURE HOW MUCH I END UP SPENDING. *TR

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION ON FREEWAY EXIT RAMP AT 7:30 AM DURING RUSH HOUR. PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE RACED. CAR WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE WITH ENGINE STILL RACING. THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND IT STOPPED RUNNING. CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN OBSTRUCTION WITH A FLOOR MAT - THERE WAS NONE. AFTER 30 SECONDS, STARTED THE CAR AND IT ALTERNATED BETWEEN IDLE AND ENGINE RACING WHILE DOING NOTHING TO THE GAS PEDAL. RECALL FIXES HAD NOT BEEN DONE YET. DEALERS RESPONSE WAS THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT AND DIDN'T CARE WHAT DID - JUST PUT IN THE RECALL REMEDIES AND TRIED TO GIVE IT BACK TO US TO "TRY THIS". WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNDERSTOOD, OR FIXED OR THAT THE DEALER EVEN CARES. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT IT IS TOYOTA'S PROBLEM NOT THEIRS.
