2002 Toyota Camry Solara Vehicle speed control Problems

“My Toyota solara, crashed and deemed a total loss. Aaa insurance paid,but I didn't agree to settlement because I think the cause was failure of accelerator, as braking did not stop the car -- gas pedal did not release. Car rear ended car ahead which stopped as another car stopped short ahead of him. I had time to stop but was unable to. I reported this to the insurance company.”

“I have a Toyota solara 2002, and since I owned it back in 2006, I've been fixing electrical problems (all kinds of electrical issues), and it never ends. Recently, I've had a problem with the gas pedal, it got stuck and I hit a wall in the garage parking, I took it to the dealer and they said since this is not a part of the recalls, they won't fix it, and they won't even check it. Please have 2002 camrys and solaras investigated, I believe they have a lot of safety issues as well.”

“I was driving my Toyota 2002 solara into the parking lot on 6-27-10 to the post office. While pulling into a parking spot along side of the post office building, while applying the brakes the acceleration started to increase and the brake pedal went down almost to the floor. The car jumped the parking stop and then the side walk into the wall of the building. The two air bags exploded, then trying to put the car into park the car went into reverse back into the parking lot. Then finally the car was in park and ignition was shut off. I called 911 and then went the hospital for x-rays. …”

“I was in reverse and backed into a concrete pole in my office parking garage. I applied the brakes to stop the vehicle. The car jumped into drive, and rapidly accelerated, and would not respond to my efforts to brake. I then hit a concrete pole head on, which totaled my vehicle. On a prior occasion that happened in february 2003, the consumer was driving for several minutes with the cruise control set to 60-65 MPH. Without input, the vehicle speed increased rapidly to 80-85 MPH. The consumer cancelled the cruise by applying the brakes, then turned off the cruise master switch. Updated 7/3/12”

“While pulling into a parking space the vehicle accelerated suddenly although the consumer's foot was still on the brake pedal. The vehicle jumped the curb and came within 6 inches of a storefront. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and inspected by a regional representative. The representative indicated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle.”
