1994 Toyota Camry Vehicle speed control Problems

“On 4/5/16, I was driving on the highway in the right lane going straight, I put cruise control on and it was working okay for approx 15 minutes. Car suddenly sped up to 80 and went up in flames from under the hood within minutes. I was able to get out of the car unharmed but it is a total loss.”

“I was slowly turning to the right into a parking space and had my foot on the brake when the car suddenly accelerated. Fortunately, there was a tree there to stop the car. In the previous months, several of the panel warning lights had been coming on and off. I had Toyota check them. They replaced the EGR valve but it kept happening so I took it back. They said they checked everything and couldn't find anything wrong. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the car suddenly accelerating, but it might have.”

Sometime during this time the problem seemed to get better. I pulled over to a house with two women standing in front and I was able to stop and asked them for help. Once I turned off the engine and back on again the problem was gone. …”

“Approx 20 times over approx the last 2 to 4 years, my 1994 Toyota Camry experienced either sudden acceleration or lack of appropriate deceleration. Fortunately, I realized the floor mat was pressing on the accelerator pedal. Pulling back the mat with my foot instantly resolved the problem in every instance. After the publicity regarding later year models, I finally removed the floor mat entirely and have had no further episodes. I am concerned that this happened in my 1994 Toyota Camry, but the recall has involved only 2007 and later models. The floor mat says Camry on the front. …”
