I own a 2007 toyota camry le. I reported this problem to the dealer in redding, ca about the cruise control system within a month of ownership; however, they said it is normal operation. I doubt it very much, how the cruise control resumes back to the set speed almost instantly by raising the rpm over 5000, which will make you feel the car is going out of control. I have been driving cars for over 30 years and own…

I own a 2007 toyota camry and was involved in an auto accident today. A pickup truck broadsided me. As soon as the truck hit me i hit the brakes. The camry did not stop and instead quickly accelerated and fish tailed out of control. I finally gained control of the steering but ended up three lanes across from where i was hit and into a gas station having to drive between the gas pumps hoping to avoid an explosion. I…

Toyota camry recall was "corrected" last month, as to the accelerator pedal issue. The acceleration now seems more erratic than before. I do not believe it was a pedal problem, rather an electronic one. I have not taken the car on the open road but am scheduled to do so soon. I am 72, if i should have a problem, i'm sure that toyota corp. Would attribute it to my age or some other excuse. The pedal is not…

My 2007 toyota camry is dangerous and defective. I have being saying since my first maintenance check at the dealer that the car doesn't seem to be working the way it should. Now it has been recalled for a "sticky pedal". The problems i have are not a sticky pedal problem. The car lurches at times when accelerating. It lurches forward from stops. I have already hit a curb because of it just a couple of weeks ago. I…

We own a 2007 toyota camry and have gone to our local dealership to have the recall taking care of. And to our surprise our gas pedal was cut to a size much smaller than its original version. We have never received notification of this solution for this recall, nor have seen anything on the media that states this is what is being done for a solution. The gas pedal in this format is unacceptable and my foot does not…

In 2007 we leased a new camry along with another new toyota product on the same day. My wife has had the accelerator stick on her and she had to use the emergency brake to stop the car and ran off the road. She narrowly avoided having a terrible accident in the car while my four year old daughter was in the car with her. The dealership picked up the car and attempted to fix it. The first time my wife drove the car…

I own a 2007 toyota camry. On many separate occasions, i have experienced not a sudden acceleration but a subtle increase in speed, while on level road. The impression i had was that the cruise control was operating when it was not even turned on. I was able to maintain control of the car. I have taken the car to the dealer and explained what it was doing but was told i must have had the cruise control activated.…

This problem may be related to the toyota gas pedal recall. I have a 2007 toyota camry le. When i am on the freeway and moving in a slow lane, and change lane and push on the gas pedal to accelerate, the car takes a few seconds to respond. As a result, i have almost been hit from other cars coming because my car was not accelerating fast enough. I never had such problem with other cars. I took my car to the dealer…

I spent 2 hours on hold before i was able to talk with a person at the toyota customer center who confirmed that it was on the list but came up with excuses about getting it fixed. I then called back the local dealer…

Drove car to work and car accelerated again. Took car back to dealership and they put in a new drive shaft. At that point i was too scared to get back in car. I had no confidence that the problem was fixed and i don't really think…

I lease a 2007 toyota camry. I experienced sudden acceleration when driving up a hill. Because i was on a hill i gave the car a lot of gas. However, the gas pedal seemed to go further than i intended and the car began to accelerate. I placed the car in neutral and hit the breaks, which stopped the car without incident. I had to tap the gas pedal a few times to get it to disengage. Toyota applied the gas pedal recall…

I have toyota camry 2007. I had experienced the rpm shooting up in low acceleration. I took the vehicle to dealer for repair in early feb 2010, but the dealer detected no problem. However, as the problem persisted and it happened frequently, so i took the video of speedometer and tachometer, and went back to dealer with the video. Mechanics at the dealer tried to duplicate the problem with computer hooked to my car,…
