“I was pulling into a parking space at a speed of approximately 10 MPH when my Toyota Camry 2011 suddenly accelerated. I hit the brake immediately to stop the car's forward acceleration to avoid hitting a tree. The brake stopped the forward motion of the wheels with the car body lurching forward.”
NHTSA complaint #10598905, filed 2014-06, 38,676 miles“I was driving west on flamingo just past the 95 exit. I was driving in the center lane, waiting for clearance to get into the turn lane. When I removed my foot from the break, the vehicle accelerated on its own. I was able to slam on the brake and stop immediately. I had dealer check it out -- plus a previous incident on sept 24, 2012 as well as another one on november 6, 2012. Toyota denies that there is a problem, but it keeps happening.”
NHTSA complaint #10592591, filed 2014-05, 19,000 miles“While traveling on route 78 west near bethlehem pa the oil light began to flicker. We pulled off the highway into a GM dealership. The mechanic said the oil was leaking out the oil filter and there was no oil on the dipstick. Now the engine is making a grinding sound when it is starting and other sounds. I'm afraid that we will have to be replaced the engine or the car. We have 3 years left on the car loan. The oil and filter were replaced 32,012 at sears. I have saved the failed oil filter.”
NHTSA complaint #10593184, filed 2014-05, 33,912 miles“Wed am, nov. 12, 2014, I parked my 2011 Toyota Camry se 4cyl in an airport parking garage. Weather was 31 f. When I returned from my trip the next evening, I started the car, organized some things for a minute to allow car heater to warm the vehicle while I sat. I then proceeded to back out of the parking space. Temperature was in the 20s f. I noticed the car was sluggish so I pressed a bit more on the gas pedal, but the car failed to go faster. After slowly backing out far enough, I put the car in drive. Despite reaching 2500+ RPM, the car would not increase speed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10655133, filed 2014-11, 98,500 miles“I was driving into a parking area, idling forward so that I could back up and drop off my colleague at her house. I had my foot on the accelerator, barely idling forward, and all of a sudden the pedal was floored and the car was surging forward with a parked vehicle right in front of us. I jammed on the breaks, and immediately turned off the engine. Both the passenger and I were terrified. I went home, and will never drive that car again. I do not trust Toyota to fix it or own up to what is really going on. The accelerator floored itself, and then stuck there. …”
