2005 Toyota Camry VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

ON 4/13 AROUND 2PM, I ARRIVED AT FRIEND'S TOWNHOUSE (ADDRESS: 203 WILDFELL TRL. CARY NC27513). I DROVE MY CAR INTO A PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF THE TOWNHOUSE SLOWLY WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. BEFORE I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO THE 'PARKING', MY CAR SUDDENLY SHOOT UP AND HIT THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER BOX IN THE FRONT OF THE TOWNHOUSE. THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD UNTIL IT HIT THE OUTSIDE WALL OF THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, THEN MOVING BACKWARD AND STOPPED. THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER BOX WAS DAMAGED, THAT CAUSED THE POWER OUTAGE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR AT LEAST 6 HOURS. THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY CAR WAS ALSO DAMAGED. I ALSO GOT THE CITATION AND GOT CHARGED WITH 'THE MISDEMEANOR OR INFRACTION' FROM THE POLICE, FOR THAT I WILL NEED TO HIRE A LAWYER TO DEFEND THE CASE. I WAS SO SHOCKED AND PANIC. I HAVE A VERY CLEAN DRIVING RECORD IN THE PAST 30 YEARS. I KNEW TOYOTA DID HAVE A 'SUDDEN ACCELERATION' PROBLEM, BUT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NEVER RECALLED SO I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. YESTERDAY, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THE '2005 TOYOTA CAMRY' DID HAVE SEVERAL CAR INCIDENTS CAUSED BY 'SUDDEN ACCELERATION' IN THE PAST. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE CAR DIDN'T INJURE OR KILL ANY PEOPLE. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY TOYOTA DIDN'T RECALL MY CAR AND THE TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD REIMBURSE ME ALL THE COSTS OF THE DAMAGES.

2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE WAS A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATE. TWO WEEKS LATER, AS THE CONSUMER WAS ABOUT TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. *JB

A DRIVEABILITY CONCERN WHERE THE OPERATOR INTENTIONALLY APPLIES THE THROTTLE PEDAL, IN EXPECTATION THAT THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE, AND THEN EXPERIENCES A DELAY OR HESITATION IN VEHICLE RESPONSE. I REPORTED THE HESITATION THE NEXT DAY AFTER PURCHASING THE TOYOTA AND THE SALES PERSON SAID IT JUST NEEDED SOME ITEM TO WARM UP. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE READ ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION. MOST PEOPLE SAY THE CAR TAKES OFF FAST ON IT'S OWN. MINE ALMOST GOT MY FAMILY KILLED SEVERAL TIMES NOT GETTING ON THE FWY WHEN NEEDED AND CAUSED ANGRY MORTOREST BECAUSE THEY ALMOST RAN INTO US. I OR MY HUSBAND WOULD STEP ON THE GAS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR GET ON THE FWY IN CA. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2005, JUST READ THE OTHER PERSONS COMMENT AND DECIDED TO REPORT IT ALSO. JUST MY WORD NO RECORDS SHOWING IT BUT MAYBE YOU CAN DRIVE IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. HAPPENS ANYTIME, SOMETIMES, NOT ALL THE TIME. HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON SINCE 2005 TO 2016

ON 12/4/2015, EXPERIENCED SLUGGISH RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATOR, THEN SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND SURGING FORWARD AT HIGH SPEED, CAUSING SPEED OF CAR TO BE TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE WITH A STEADY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. BRAKING DID SLOW AND STOP THE CAR. TOOK CAR IMMEDIATELY TO TOYOTA DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE ECU (ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT) AT A COST OF $900. ABOUT 10 WEEKS LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY THAT DAY, ACCELERATION WAS SLUGGISH AND UNPREDICTABLE. PARKED CAR AT WORK, AND THEN AFTER BACKING UP IN THE PARKING AREA TO LEAVE, THE CAR AGAIN WAS SLUGGISH ON ACCELERATION, AND THEN BEGAN TO SURGE FORWARD UNPREDICTABLY, OUT OF MY CONTROL, WITH NO INCREASE IN PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. AGAIN, THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED TO SLOW OR STOP THE CAR. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER, WHO ADVISED I COULD BRING IT IN THAT EVENING. NO SURGING WAS NOTICED WHEN CAR WAS IN PARK. I HAD A HARROWING DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP DURING RUSH HOUR, KEEPING A LONG DISTANCE BEHIND THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME TO AVOID HITTING ANYONE. ACCELERATION WAS VERY SLUGGISH WHEN MERGING OR STARTING UP AGAIN AFTER A RED LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AND ONCE I BEGAN MOVING AHEAD, THE UNPREDICTABLE SURGING AND SLOWING BEGAN AGAIN AND CONTINUED UNTIL I STOPPED AT THE NEXT LIGHT, ETC. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR TEN DAYS AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I NOW NEED TO RETURN THE LOANER, AND DRIVE THE DEFECTIVE CAR AGAIN. NO FLOOR MATS WERE IN PLACE. I CAN ONLY HOPE MY HUSBAND, CHILDREN OR I ARE NOT INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN THE EVENT THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, WHICH I FULLY EXPECT. HOW CAN TOYOTA AND NHTSA DETERMINE THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS WHEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS IN THIS RECORD, AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND INJURED AS A RESULT OF PROBLEMS WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN THESE VEHICLES?

THE HESITATE TO ACCELERATE I.E. AFTER ACCELERATING A BIT, IT SLOWS DOWN OR RATHER DO NOT ACCELERATE. SO IT CAUSES DIFFICULT TO MERGE AND THE DRIVERS BEHIND THE CAR MAY HIT. *TR

AT AROUND 3:00 PM, I WAS IN MY CAR, DRIVING AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED, APPROXIMATELY A COUPLE OF MILES PER HOUR, TO MOVE INTO A LINE OF CARS AT A GAS STATION. SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING AND ON ITS OWN MY CAR SURGED FORWARD AND ACCELERATED. AS MY CAR SPED FORWARD, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO REV HIGHER, MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR WITH THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP. DURING THIS AWFUL EVENT, MY CAR CRASHED INTO TWO DIFFERENT CARS, ONE OF WHICH WAS OCCUPIED, AND ONE OF WHICH WAS PARKED WITH NO OCCUPANT. FINALLY, MY CAR CAME TO A STOP. THE AIR BAGS IN MY CAR DID NOT DEPLOY. PARAMEDICS AND POLICE CAME TO THE SCENE. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND CHECKED. MY UNDERSTANDING FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS THAT THERE IS A CLAIM FOR INJURY BY ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE OCCUPIED CAR. MY CAR WAS IMPOUNDED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS, AND HAS BEEN BRANDED NON-REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THEY AND TOYOTA WILL CONDUCT A JOINT INVESTIGATION OF THE CAR. NOTE: AS I READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE (POWERED BY NHTSA), IT APPEARS THAT AS OF THIS DATE, THERE ARE 625 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY, WITH APPARENTLY 249 OF THEM ALMOST 40% REPORTED IN THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL CATEGORY. THE REPORTS LIST NUMEROUS INJURIES AND EVEN DEATHS. I REQUEST THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE MATTER OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN THE 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. I BELIEVE THAT ALL 2005 TOYOTA CAMRYS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS MY HOPE THAT OTHER SUCH ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED IN THE FUTURE, AND THAT INJURY, DEATH AND PROPERTY DAMAGE CAN BE AVERTED. *TR

BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AT WAL-MART CAR SURGED AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE WHEN BACKING UP AND I TURNED AROUND TO GO FORWARD WHEN CAR WAS STILL BACKING UP SO I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE. OF COURSE I PANICKED AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

I WAS BACKING UP ON GRASS WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED BACKWARDS. I PANICKED BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN I WAS CONFUSED REACHING FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THEN GAS PEDAL. MY FOOT WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP BUT HIT A FENCE POLE DESTROYED BUMPER. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE MOVING ON ITS OWN AND I MAY HAVE HIT THE GAS PEDAL BY ACCIDENT THEN SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE. NO ONE WAS HURT BUT SHOOK UP. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON DECEMBER 18, 2013. I WAS BACKING UP AGAIN IN WAL-MARTS PARKING LOT AND FOR SOME REASON IT ACCELERATED AGAIN AND I REMEMBER SAYING NOT AGAIN. THAT TIME I KNOW MY RIGHT FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AT ALL.
