2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Vehicle Speed Control Problems

when accelerating the car jerk before riding smooth

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND CRASH INTO A METAL FENCE. DURING THE CRASH THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A NECK INJURY. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TOYOTA CAMRY 2010, WAS DRIVEN TO DENTIST OFFICE PARKING LOT. WHILE PARKING THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED TO BRING IT TO A STANDSTILL. HOWEVER, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND LEAPED FORWARD AND SMASHED AGAINST AN IMMOVABLE WALL IN FRONT. ALL THIS WHILE THE WHEEL KEPT ON SPINNING UNCONTROLLABLY. FRONT OF CAR IS BADLY MAULED DEPICTING THE UNCALLED FOR MOMENTUM. GLAD THAT THERE WAS A WALL AS THIS ABORTED THE FEARSOME CRAZE. DRIVER BADLY SHAKEN WITH MODERATE INJURY. NEVER EXPRIENCED THIS BEFORE.

WHEN RUSUMING SPEED CONTROL TO SET SPEED, IT GOES 5 TO TEN MPH OVER BEFORE GOING TO SET SPEED.

ON MY MORNING COMMUTE I HAD TO INITIATE A FAST ACCELERATION BY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY TO GAIN SPEED AND UPON TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL I NOTICED IT REMAINED DEPRESSED FULLY AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THIS SITUATION HAD HAPPENED A YEAR PRIOR IN A SIMILAR CASE WHERE I HAD PUT "THE PEDAL TO THE METAL" AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES ALLOWED THE ACCELERATOR TO DISENGAGE AND OPERATE AS NORMAL. THE INSTANCE TODAY OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT; MAX ACCELERATION WAS ENGAGED AT AROUND 5MPH AND MY TOP SPEED REACHED 40MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I'VE NOTICED THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY TOUCH AND IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY FROM A STOP. THE BRAKES ARE ALSO EXTREMELY TOUCHY SO IT'S HARD TO COME TO A SMOOTH STOP WITHOUT JERKING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES I'M VERY WORRIED THAT MY CAR WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD ACCIDENTS OR NEAR ACCIDENTS HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN USING SPEED CONTROL IT WILL ALWAYS BLINK AND HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF AND ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, WHILE IN FIRST GEAR, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO SECOND AND THIRD GEARS AND MADE AN ABNORMAL VIBRATING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED A CRASH INVOLVING THREE CARS. *JS

I APPLIED THE BRAKES SLOWLY AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MOVING ABOUT 25 MPH AND INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR ACCELERATED--IT JOLTED FORWARD! I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES HARDER. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON ONE DRIVE--I ALMOST HIT AN 18 WHEELER. IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD DO? I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY VEHICLE ON APRIL 20, 2017, MY CAR SURGED FORWARD AND DID NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I HIT ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE AND DID CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THAT VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. OVER $6,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY CAR ALONE. ON SEPT. 7, 2017, AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO PARK MY CAR, I WAS ADVANCING VERY SLOWLY AND PRESSING VERY LIGHTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD VERY QUICKLY. I TRIED WITH GREAT FORCE TO APPLY THE BRAKE SO AS NOT TO HIT ANY OTHER VEHICLES NEAR ME. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP BUT WAS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO THE LITTLE PRESSURE I APPLIED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PART THE CAR IN BOTH INSTANCES.

TWICE WHILE DRIVING LAST WEEK THE CAR ABRUPTLY AND ON ITS OWN, ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW IT DOWN. THE SECOND TIME I PUMPED ON THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, WITHOUT RESULT. I KEPT PUMPING AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE REVVED OVER AND OVER AND IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF EFFORT TO ACTUALLY STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE ONLY STOP REVVING UP WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH GAVE A HUGE JOLT TO THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT NOT EASILY. I HAD MY YOUNG SON IN THE CAR WITH ME AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY. THE ENGINE ONLY STOPPED REVVING WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH CAUSED A HUGE JOLT OF THE CAR.

WHILE STOPPED IN A PRIVATE PARKING LOT IN STALL, BUT WHILE FOOT ON BRAKE YET & ENGINE RUNNING, VEHICLE ACCELERATED JUMPED A CURB CROSSED GRASS ISLAND & STRUCK A VEHICLE FACING MINE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PRIOR TO ACCELERATING.

I WAS STOPPED IN LINE OF A DRIVE THRU RESTAURANT. THE VEHICLES WERE NOT MOVING AND I WAS WAITING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PUSHED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ON THE BREAK PEDAL BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE PROBLEMS WITH UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION BEGAN WITH THIS CAR, BUT THEY ARE FAIRLY RECENT. ALL OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED OR MOVING VERY SLOWLY. I DO NOT HAVE VERY GOOD RECOLLECTIONS OF THE EARLIEST OF THESE OCCURRENCES, BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE LAST THREE CLEARLY. THE FIRST OF THESE WAS IN MARCH 2015. I WAS DRIVING IN AN AREA WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 MPH AND HAD STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I REMEMBER CLEARLY THAT I HAD MY FOOT SOLIDLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL; I HAD BEEN MAKING A SPECIAL POINT OF THAT AS A RESULT OF THE EARLIER OCCURRENCES. I FELT THE ENGINE SPEED UP, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS ON MARCH 29TH WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND HAD STOPPED AT A FOUR-WAY STOP.
