2006 Toyota Camry Solara Vehicle speed control Problems

“I have a 2006 solara convertible. The car sporadically hesitates when I push on the gas to accelerate. This is dangerous if you are driving on the highway, want to change lanes and there is delay or hesitation when the accelerator is pushed down to gain speed and there is no power.”

“I have a 2006 Toyota solara, sle, 6 cyl. Eng., automatic, sunroof. I was driving into a parking space at the mall, slowing down with my foot on the brake. As I pushed on the brake to park, it went to the floor, and my engine surged loudly, hitting the parked car in front of me about 9-12 feet out of it's space. I frantically turned my steering wheel to my left, jumped a curb, went through a few bushes and hit a tree which stopped my car. I turned my key off, placed it in park and threw my keys on to the passenger seat. This car caused the crash. …”

“I am reporting 2 instances of unintended throttle acceleration in my 2006 solara. Circumstances in both cases were similar. The two cases: (1) approximately november 1, 2009 -- I was driving slowly in a parking lot. I braked to make a turn when the engine suddenly accelerated violently. Stepping hard on the brake and pulling the shifter into n stopped the acceleration. The car then operated normally. (2) approximately december 20, 2009 -- I was pulling slowly into a parking place in front of a post office when the engine suddenly accelerated violently. …”

“I own a 2006 solara sle 6cy. And the car hesitates when accelerating (such as merging into traffic). Toyota has knowledge of this very problem along with the dealerships and all that needs to be done is a reflash. The problem has to do with the cars onboard computer. So when they put an update in the computer it is called reflashing. If enough people complain or if someone is killed they might find the time to take care of this. So when I and many others take the time to advise Toyota and the dealerships, I feel they should take the time to address this problem. …”

“I own a 2006 Toyota solara 6 cyl. And the car has a problem when when you accelerate from a slow pace (as when you start to merge into a busy street or freeway) the car actually hesitates, there is a 1 1/2 to 2 second delay or lag, before the car actually kicks in and accelerates. I acctually hear and see the rpms rev up on one of the gauges, but the car is not accelerating or shifting as it should be. It is Toyota's responsibility to do a reflashing for a computer update! This is all that is needed to correct the problem and I demand that it be done before an accident happens! …”
