2007 Toyota Camry Solara Vehicle speed control Problems

“On sept. 1, 2008, I was driving north through pa. On I-79. I was using the cruise control on my 2007 Toyota Camry Solara for the first time. I pulled into a rest area. As I was about to pull into a parking space, I stopped for some pedestrians to pass by. When I took my foot off the brake to pull into the parking space, my car suddenly accelerated at a very high speed as if I had put my foot on the gas pedal all the way to the floor. I assure you, I barely touched the gas pedal. …”

“1.twice within 1st year: the car accelerated quickly while I was driving on the road; it was hard to stop. I thought the floor mat was under the gas pedal. Later, the car suddenly revved up and accelerated as I was leaving a parking lot. After I took my foot off of the gas, it kept increasing speed. Nothing was in the way of the pedal that time. I was able to gain control. (the service tech told me the experience I relayed to him was not possible.) still, the car accelerates by itself, most recently three days ago. I had it set at 60 MPH on cruise control. It wouldn't stay at 60. …”

“I own a 2007 Camry Solara, my cars gas pedal gets stuck when I am at a stop light and proceed into traffic the cars momentarily stays in an idled position for several seconds, until it kicks forward and accelerates. I am afraid to drive the car and financially I am still paying for a car that is parked, because I do not feel it safe to drive. Toyota needs to put the Camry Solara on the list. I took it to the dealership, and without the recall they refuse to even diagnose or repair my car, at my expense no less, I do not feel that solara owners should be ignored and financially responsible. …”

“There is a major delay at times when the car is asked to accelerate- if going approx 20 MPH and want to accelerate into fast lane you never know how long it will take the car to respond to the depressed gas peddle. The car also appears to drop a gear occ when slowing down. Toyota states this is because the car has learned the way you like to drive and responds that way. Won't allow anyone else to drive the car due to this danger and unpredictability has always acted this way.”

“Twice: once in August and most importantly 09/07/2024 was slowing down to stop at a dry cleaners when the car reved up and accelerated forward. I continued to apply brakes all the way to the floor and couldn’t get it to stop, so ran into the businesses’s van. USAA paidfor repairs to both, but due to fears for my safety and life and those of others, I have not driven it since. I have had it towed for repairs and to be checked by an engineer sent by Toyota.and have had to rent or borrow or pay for rides up until now. …”
