VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
ON 10 DEC 09, AT APPROX. 4:15 PM, I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, WITH MY WIFE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS PROCEEDING SOUTH ON ROUTE 81 1/4 MILE BEFORE THE TAFT ROAD EXIT. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE PROCEEDING AT APPROX.60-65 MPH. UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR INTO PASSING GEAR, THE PEDAL STUCK IN A DOWNWARD POSITION. I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE WITH NO RESPONSE, I QUICKLY PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AT WHICH TIME THERE WAS A LARGE ENGINE ROAR, AT WHICH TIME I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY RIGHT FOOT SHOE TOE UNDER THE ACCELERATION AND PULLED THE PEDAL BACK INTO ITS NORMAL POSITION. I WAS CROSSING TWO LANES WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. I THEN PLACED THE VEHICLE BACK IN DRIVE & VERY CAREFULLY DROVE HOME. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO MY DEALER FOX IMPORTS IN AUBURN NY.. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS
MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE WAS REAR-ENDED AT AROUND 40-50 MILES PER HOUR AND IT WAS PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. SO I WAS STRUCK FROM THE BACK AND THEN THE FRONT. THE OTHER TWO CARS' AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT MINE DID NOT. I NOTICE THERE ARE FRONT AND SIDE TESTS DONE ON CARS BUT NEVER WHEN ONE IS REAR-ENDED. I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WITH A HEADACHE AND STIFFNESS IN MY NECK AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH WHIPLASH - HEAD AND BACK. EVERYONE I'VE MENTIONED THIS TO WONDERED WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAN YOU TELL ME IF IT SHOULD HAVE? FORTUNATELY MY SEATBELT WORKED AND RESTRAINED ME AND I DID NOT BUMP MY HEAD ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE HEADREST. JUST WONDERING IF I SHOULD BE CONCERNED THAT MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. OH, AND MY JUST-PAID OFF CAMRY WAS TOTALED -- OVER $12,000 IN DAMAGES SO I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AND WONDERING IF I SHOULD CONSIDER ANOTHER VEHICLE. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT I WAS ABLE TO WALK AWAY FROM THE INCIDENT THOUGH THERE IS NO MORE "TRUCK" SO TO SPEAK LEFT ON MY CAR. I'D LIKE TO GET ANOTHER CAMRY BUT NEED TO KNOW IF THE LACK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING ANOTHER CAR. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN HEARING THAT THE FLOOR MAT RECALL ON THE TOYOTAS FROM 2007 -2010 IS NOT REALLY A FLOOR MAT ISSUE BUT AN ELECTRICAL ONE THAT TOYOTA IS NOT TELLING US ABOUT. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? *TR
