NHTSA Complaint #10191791 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4CYL AUTOMATIC SEDAN EXPERIENCED HESITATION, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND COMPLETE LACK OF RESPONSE TO THE DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; TWO TIMES CREATIING SITUATIONS THAT EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGH-SPEED LANE OF A HIGHWAY. I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE CAR DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, THEN ROARED TO LIFE, BUT TOO LATE. I HAD TO BRAKE BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE IT. THEN, ABOUT A YEAR LATER THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND THE ENGINE REVVED TO 6000 RPMS, AND WOULD NOT COME DOWN. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND SHUT IT DOWN. BOTH OF THESE TIMES I BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE MOST RECENT TIME, AFTER THE STUCK ACCELERATOR PEDAL INCIDENT, THEY HAD IT ALL DAY AND SENT IT HOME WITH A SERVICE MAN WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION. I SERIOUSLY FEAR BODILY INJURY OR DEATH IN THE FUTURE IF THIS ISN'T FIXED AND FIXED RIGHT. *AK
