2000 Toyota Camry Other or unknown Problems

“Driving 70mph on the highway, I accelerated slightly to pass another vehicle. The accelerator got stuck and the speed kept increasing. I tried applying the brakes, but the car started to lose control. I swerved around cars and tried to maneuver to an exit ramp. The car was now going 95 MPH. I was unable to control the exit and the car hit the guard rails and flipped over.”

“I have owned this car for about 5 years; my grandfather gave it to me, so it's only had two owners. Low miles (80,000). I am replacing the driver's exterior door handle for the third time and passenger's exterior for the second time. The exterior handles merely snap off. I wish Toyota would offer replacement handles made of metal rather than plastic. This may eliminate the problem. The state I live in requires a yearly vehicle inspection and due to the broken handles, my car failed yesterday.”

“Timing belt went--automobile has only 36,000 miles.my mechanic said this should not happen at such low mileage. When I contacted local dealer, I was told that they recommend replacing the belt at four years. This car is five years old. Nowhere in the maintainance schedule does it say replace the timing belt at four years.”

“A plastic duct-type of device fell from behind the dashboard and lodged behind the brake pedal preventing braking when I was driving. The item appears to be a heating duct part and has numbers pp-t20, 785-us and 784-us stamped in various locations of the two-part item. This is a very dangerous situation and could have caused me an accident, if I had not had quick wits.”

“Unexpected accelerations with my 2000 Toyota Camry le. On december 11, 2014, my granddaughter (who was driving my vehicle), was sitting at a red light with her foot on the brake pedal. While sitting at the light, the car started rolling forward. She pressed down further on the brake, and noticed it slowed but did not come to a complete stop. She applied additional pressure on the brake and the car came to a stop. All of a sudden, and without warning, the car jerked forward as if someone had hit the car from the back causing my vehicle to strike the car in front of her. …”
