Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“During multiple episodes whether the car is at a stop or in motion there is a delay from when the accelerator is depressed to when the engine responds and revs leading to more power and speed. For example when stopped at a light trying to make a left turn, I press the accelerator down and there is no major change in speed and revs until seconds later when then engine then goes from 1000rpms to 3000rpms. This can be dangerous and almost LED to an accident as there was an oncoming car that almost hit me as I was trying to make the turn. …”

“Slow acceleration during 1st 1 or 2 gears. Almost had multiple accidents in highway due to slow acceleration when changing lanes. The vehicle does not immediately respond to acceleration when accelerator pedal is used. The vehicle has a couple of seconds delay until it changing into next gear. Dealer non responsive. I brought it into my Toyota dealer and the service technician drove my car with me in the passenger seat. I explained that my previous (3) v6 Toyota Camry's did not have any problems with acceleration, he totally understood. …”

“It's a dangerous thing. The first time it happened to me was on Jun 15, 2021, only the light came on and when I turned off the car the light went off after a month it came on again and turned off by itself, and now it turned on and it doesn't turn off for nothing. and it only says the PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM & CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTION alert. I was doing a little research online and I realized that many people have this problem regardless of the vehicle miles and this is dangerous since this happens on local streets or highways regardless of the speed of the vehicle. please investigate. …”

“This vehicle, and models with the same throttle body and air filter/air duct assembly have an issue. Where plastic parts from the vacuum box attached to the air duct come loose and get stuck in the throttle body. Causing the engine to rev up then die. I have dealt with this same issue twice in the last three weeks. Thank you for your time.”

NHTSA complaint #11668843, filed 2025-06

“The contact owns a 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that while parked in the CVS drive-thru, the contact shifted the gear shift into reverse when the vehicle unintendedly accelerated in reverse, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle was shifted into drive; however, the vehicle accelerated independently again, causing the contact to crash into the rear of the vehicle in front. No warning lights illuminated, but the contact was uncertain as the events occurred fast. No injuries were sustained. A police report was filed. …”
