In owners' own words
I approached the main intersection in my 2010 Camry from a side street at a stop sign. When I put my foot on the brake the car continued to accelerate into the main intersection. I collided with an oncoming car causing approx. $3400. There were no injuries and the damage to the front of the car was repaired. Only the body damage was corrected on the vehicle. No internal repairs have been made as of yet. Vehicle speed control · reported at 3,000 miles
The car is a Camry Toyota, 2010,4dsd, purchased on dec 28, 2009 by national home plans (tel.[Xxx]). Has a faulty accelerator system, causing sudden speed and a crash, with damages, while entering the garage. We are not getting significant cooperation from Toyota. Luckily, there was no bodily injury....Please help. *Tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (FOIA), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). Vehicle speed control · reported at 180 miles
My vehicle has been recalled and "repaired" - gas pedal, floor mat, brake override system. Prior to the recall, the gas pedal was sluggish and I would experience mini, sudden accelerations. There has been no improvement since the repairs (3/2/2010). In fact, it appears to have become more frequent, the sudden accelerations are not dramatic and braking does take care of the problem.
