VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY 2010, LEASED ON AUGUST 23,2009. WE STARTED TO NOTICE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED SINCE JAN. 2010, WHERE THE CAR SURGES FORWARD. MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN DRIVING THE CAR AND IT WAS NOT UNTIL I DROVE IT THAT WE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM. THIS MARCH. SHE JUST THOUGHT IT WAS HER IMAGINATION. IT IS A SLIGHT SET OF SURGES. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY PARTICULAR TIME OF CIRCUMSTANCES, IT JUST DOES IT. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE MATS AND GAS PEDAL CHECKED AND WERE TOLD EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. THIS WAS FEBRUARY 4, 2010 AND HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE SAME TIME. THIS WAS BEFORE I DROVE THE CAR AND WE COMPARED NOTES. (WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR) I WANT TO TURN IN THE CAR!! THIS IS MY FIRST TOYOTA AND WILL BE MY LAST. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IF WOULD HESITATE TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. IT WAS AS IF THE PEDAL WAS STICKING TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE REPAIR FOR NHTSA RECALL# 10V017000 WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAS NOT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE SINCE THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 10000. UPDATED 11/19/10. *LJ UPDATED 12/02/10*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I EXPERIENCED A RUNAWAY ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CAMRY LE V6 (MADE IN JAPAN). WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK PLACE I WAS TRYING TO PULL AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. AS I TRIED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE STOP SIGN THE TIRES SLIPPED BECAUSE IT HAD JUST SNOWED. I GAVE IT A BIT MORE GAS TO GET OVER THE SNOW WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE STOP SIGN THE ENGINE REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. I PRESSED AND HELD DOWN ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO PULL FORWARD, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WAS AT REDLINE FOR ABOUT 10 MORE SECONDS THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. AT NO TIME DID I FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR, IT WAS NOT STUCK. I STEPPED DOWN ON THE GAS JUST A BIT TO CLEAR THE SNOW PATCH AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. I AM LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC, AND I KNEW ENOUGH TO HOLD DOWN FIRM ON THE BRAKE, OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) FROM:[XXX] SUBJECT:TOYOTA COMMENTS: I RECALL A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MILITARY AIRCRAFT, IN WHICH THE ENGINEERS (MYSELF INCLUDED), COULD NOT ISOLATE A SYSTEM ERROR. IT WAS REPEATEDLY FIXED WITH NO SUCCESS. THE PROBLEM FELL DOWN TO A FIRMWARE ERROR, ON WHICH THE SOFTWARE WAS RUNNING. THE FIRMWARE LOGIC CODE WAS A THIRD PARTY PROVISION TO THE SYSTEM, AND NONE OF THE ENGINEERS HAD REAL ACCESS TO THE LOGIC CIRCUITRY. THE FIRMWARE TESTED FINE, AND RAN THE TEST CODE AS WELL, WITH NO ERRORS. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE SYSTEM WAS FULLY OPERATIONAL, THAT THE SYSTEM THREW THE ERRORS. SINCE IT WAS THE FIRMWARE THAT THREW THE ERRORS, NONE OF THE SENSORS OR ANY OF THE SYSTEM LOGS CAUGHT THE PROBLEM. THE VENDOR OF THE FIRMWARE "ASSUMED" IT WAS ALWAYS THE USER CODE "THE OEM" THAT WAS AT FAULT, AND ANY LOG WAS AIMED AT MONITORING THE SOFTWARE EXECUTION, AND NOT THE FIRMWARE PROCESSING. IN WATCHING THE MAJOR AUTO MANUFACTURER COME TO HIS KNEES, IT STRUCK ME AS TO HOW SIMILAR, THE SITUATION SEEMS IN THIS CASE, TO WHAT WE EXPERIENCED, IN THE AIR FORCE. PERHAPS THERE SHOULD BE SOME MODICUM OF CONSIDERATION TO THE FIRMWARE ARCHITECTURE IN YOUR INVESTIGATION, AND NOT JUST THE SOFTWARE. JUST A THOUGHT FOR YOU TO HAVE FUN WITH.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY ON 12/31/2010 UNAWARE OF THE RECALL THAT WAS ABOUT TO HIT. WHEN WE STARTED HEARING ABOUT THE RECALLS, WE GOT ON THE TOYOTA WEB SITE. OUR VEHICLE THAT WE PURCHASED 2 WEEKS PRIOR WAS NOW ON A RECALL LIST. WHEN WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER, THEY SAID TO DO NOTHING, TOYOTA WAS SENDING OUT A LETTER THE FOLLOWING WEEK WITH ALL RECALL CARS LISTED AND WHEN TO BRING THEM IN. WE NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE COMPANY NOR THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WHEN CALLING TO DEMAND THIS ISSUE BE FIXED ON MONDAY 3/8/2010, THEY TOOK MY NAME AND NUMBER, SAID SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK, AND NEVER DID. MY CAR HAS DEPRECIATED, I CAN'T EVEN GET OUT FROM UNDER IT AND AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. I AM APPALLED AT THE LACK OF RESPONSE OR CONCERN FROM THIS COMPANY. I WANT OUT OF THIS CONTRACT !!! *TR

BOUGHT MY 2010 CAMRY LAST AUG. NOTICED SUDDEN SPEEDS ONCE IN A WHILE. CALLED DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. HERE RECENTLY; I HAD THE RECALL REPAIRS DONE. IT STILL FEELS AS IF THE CAR WANTS TO SPEED WITHOUT ME FOOT ON THE GAS. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT CLUTCH SYSTEM VS THAT OF OLDER CARS. IT DOESN'T FEEL NORMAL TO ME. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. I NEED IT FOR MY JOB WHICH DEMANDS ALOT OF DRIVING. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. *TR

TWO WEEKS BEFORE, I HAD TWO RECALL FIXES DONE FOR MY 2010 CAMRY (STICKY PEDAL, FLOOR MAT ENTRAPMENT). ALTHOUGH FOR THE INITIAL TWO DAYS, IT LOOKED LIKE MAYBE IT WORKED, SINCE THEN THE SAME OLD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR ARE PERSISTING. IN THE PAST, LEADING TO THE RECALL FIX, I HAD LODGED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS (INCLUDING ONE BEFORE THE GAS PEDAL RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT) WITH TOYOTA AND THEIR DEALER. MY CAR HAS A WEIRD TRANSMISSION AT SPEEDS 0-45MPH. THE BRAKING IS ALSO NOT SMOOTH AND IT DOES FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS FOR A SECOND NOT ACCELERATING WHEN IT SHOULD OR BRAKE WHEN IT SHOULD. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE GIVEN UP ON THIS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A WASTE OF TIME TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY POSITION AND GET IT FIXED. A SECOND ATTEMPT TO REACH OUT TO TOYOTA THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE (SINCE THEIR 1800 SUPPORT NUMBER KEEPS YOU WAITING FOREVER) - [INCIDENT: 100130-000604] ON 1/30. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA ON THIS. *TR

MY WIFE OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, WHICH HAS BEEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE GAS PEDAL RECALL FIX. ON TUESDAY, MARCH 2ND, I WAS DRIVING HER CAMRY. I PLACED THE SHIFT LEVER IN DRIVE, TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT WHAT SEEMED TO BE FULL THROTTLE. MY FOOT WAS NOT EVEN ON THE GAS PEDAL. I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKE, AND THE ACCELERATION ENDED, SO THE BRAKE OVERRIDE DID WORK. I RETURNED THE CAMRY TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A COLD ENGINE. THE ENGINE WAS NOT COLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD JUST DRIVEN IT ABOUT 20 MILES JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT. I AM BEING TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, YET WE ARE DRIVING A LOANER CAR BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP MANAGEMENT WANTS TO LOOK AT THE "ALLEGED PROBLEM" CLOSER. *TR

WHILE PARKING MY 2010 CAMRY AT THE GROCERY STORE, I SLOWLY TURNED INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED JUMPING THE CURB AND HITTING A CEMENT SURROUNDED LIGHT POLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I WAS NOT NOTICEABLY INJURED. THE CAR HAD JUST HAD THE REPLACEMENT PEDAL INSTALLED ON MARCH 2, 2010 AS ORDERED BY THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AVONDALE TOYOTA IN AVONDALE, ARIZONA AND IS CURRENTLY AWAITING A REPRESENTATIVE FROM TOYOTA TO INSPECT IT ON MON. MARCH 8TH BEFORE ANY WORK WILL BE DONE. PROPERTY DAMAGE ONLY TO THE VEHICLE. WE WERE TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE AIRBAGS ONLY DEPLOY AFTER 20 MILES PER HOUR. WE HAVE NEVER BEFORE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING. *TR
