“I have a 1999 Toyota Camry, le, that the gas pedal continually sticks. I have to hold the gas pedal when it sticks and press down, sometimes hard, on the gas pedal to continue forward. My daughter has driven the car and almost was rear ended when she couldn't get the car to move.”
NHTSA complaint #10331797, filed 2010-05, 90,000 miles“2 years ago, more or less, I adjusted the driver's seat and the steering wheel of my 1999 Toyota Camry le. Since that time, on occasion, I am unknowingly turning on the cruise control which is a button on the end of an arm off the steering column. I cannot reset the seat and steering wheel position to fit me but I am very worried that having the cruise control operating my car when I don't know it may be a very dangerous situation for me and my car.”
NHTSA complaint #10336220, filed 2010-06, 135,500 miles“I drive a 1999 Toyota Camry. My car's gas pedal also has similar problem as stated in the recent recalls. The problem occurs more often when waiting at a stop signal/sign and while trying to accelerate from zero. The gas pedal gets stuck and requires me depress the pedal harder resulting in sudden acceleration and after causing some frustration for drivers behind me. I even called up Toyota and they are stating since my car is not part of the recall they would not fix it under the recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10307086, filed 2010-02, 110,000 miles“Please pay attention to the two accidents that I have experienced. I purchased my Toyota Camry in 2003 and loved it. I have been driving for 57 years and never had an accident. On october 11, 2007, I drove up my daughter's driveway, came to a stop (my foot was on the brake) and was putting my car in park when it suddenly accelerated into and crashed thru the closed garage door! I finally came to a stop after crashing into the hot water heater and a work table, putting a big hole in the wall behind it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10315791, filed 2010-03, 21,646 miles“Today, just 2 hours ago, when I tired parallel parking my 1999 Toyota Camry into a meter parking lot along the street, as usual I gave it a little gas to back it in, but unexpectly, it suddenly accerated backward very very fast, hit the parking meter and broke the meter pole, it also caused a dent in the bumper and trunk cover area. No one was injured in the accident and nothing has been done so far to correct the failure.”
