2007 Toyota Yaris Vehicle speed control Problems

“The problem with my 2007 Toyota Yaris is sudden acceleration with accelerator getting stuck at partially depressed levels (around 50-60 MPH). I have to press brake several times to get it to stop. This is sporadic and happens without warning. I took it to vann york Toyota in high point, nc and they told me the cause of my problem was after market floor mats. They concluded this after one time traveling around 60 MPH. This is not the case because this happens without the floor mat interference. This is still happening and I am afraid that it will get stuck and I won't be able to stop it. …”

“Been driving a 2007 Yaris since july 2006 - no problems, now have 51,200 miles on it. On a completely dry and flat road on 4/9/10, I was approaching a yellow light at appx. 40 MPH and began braking. Right before the light, as I hit a little bump (uneven pavement section where it changed from bridge surface to blacktop) the engine surged -- I felt it, saw the RPM needle go up and heard the engine rev. I had my foot on the brake the whole time. Had to push the brake very hard to get car to stop. …”

“On 16 august, 2013, while turning into a garage parking spot I took my foot off the accelerator to press on the brake to come to full stop before the concrete column at the end of the parking space when, of its own accord, the car suddenly lurched forward at much accelerated speed. The car crashed into the concrete column destroying the front left head lights, entire front grill work, and the frame of the driver's side door was bent so the door would not be opened. No airbags deployed. On 20 august, 2013 my insurance company deemed the car a total loss.”

“1.events leading up to the failure: on several occasions my car seem not accell properly-I would have my foot on gas pedal and it would not go any faster and the car made noise similar to overheating or fanbelt with vibration-but the car would slow down when applied brakes-after letting car drift for a moment the car jolted then seemed to be fine-also, a week prior to the failure there was a clicking noise coming from the general area of where there was a recal corrected on my car a few months ago-I'm not sure if that has any relevance-2. …”

“While driving at highway speeds, steering stick when trying to make slight steering corrections. This has gotten bad enough to where vehicle makes lane changes when just trying to make slight correction. Have had the vehicle checked several times, the acceleration sensor has been relearned three separate times with little or no change. This is very annoying and dangerous.”
