“On 3/10/2018 around 7:25pm when I was very slowly pulling into my driveway my car accelerated suddenly, I was not pressing gas pedal and I was able to stop barely before it hit my garage door by stepping very hard on brakes. It would have been a major deadly accident if there were any children around. I thought Toyota had addressed this issue but apparently it had not. I have a video recording of the event on my security camera.”
NHTSA complaint #11078732, filed 2018-03, 6,500 miles“Since I picked up the car new the cruse control will not work in the rain...ore even if I wash the windshield it will go off. Car is always going at 30+ MPH”
NHTSA complaint #11311384, filed 2020-02, 42,000 miles“On january 25, 2017 at approx. 7:37 pm I started up the vehicle that was not in motion. Before placing the vehicle in motion I noticed the skid and parking brake lights were both on. I then checked the parking brake and it was in the release position (up). I put the vehicle into motion and both lights remained on. At approx. 7:45 pm I was driving cautiously on the highway at approx. 60 MPH. At about 7:47 pm all of the sudden I felt the steering wheel stiffen, and at the same time the vehicle began to decelerate from 60 MPH to speeds of approx. 40-45 MPH. …”
NHTSA complaint #10947702, filed 2017-01, 25,094 miles“During driving or from a stop the car hesitates to accelerate. On the dash board the RPM meter displays a jerking motion as well as the car physically. Usually occurs while driving long distances and when outside temperature is above 85f.”
NHTSA complaint #11396882, filed 2021-02, 45 miles“I bought a new 2017 Toyota Camry xle in april 2017 and soon thereafter started noticing some unusual, unintended acceleration and jerking during slowing down/deceleration. The car jerks and tries to maintain speed against the driver's intention to slow down gradually and/or stop, specifically noticeable at 20 and 30 MPH speeds. During slow down, seems like car switches gear abnormally to maintain speed when it's supposed to be slowing down gradually. …”
