Toyota Camry accelerator pedal fix not acceptable...way too small pedal after being cut having just received my recall notices I quickly made my appointment to complete all three (3) Toyota recalls for my 2007 Camry. Prior to dropping my Camry off at queensboro Toyota I performed my "due diligence" and research the possibility of having part number 15772-31030 used for recall #ssc-90K. Google and bing researches clearly alluded to using part number 15772-31030 which is a 1-piece solid metal tube versus the trouble prone 3-piece 04009-33131 used by the dealer. I requested part number 15772-31030 be used to effect the repair and even offered to pay for the part out of my own pocket. My concern is this is my first Toyota vehicle having decided to wean myself off domestically made vehicles due to a perceived quality lacking in domestically manufacturer's vehicles. I even reluctantly purchased a 7-yr 100K Toyota extended warranty for peace of mind having had terrible experiences with Toyota vehicles in the early 1970's. I am not happy having had to settle for the same problem prone part for recall ssc-90K and believe this is Toyota's way of delaying a proper viable oil line fix until my warranty runs out in which case it will be on "my dime" to fixed an already inevitable repair once again. I am also not too thrilled with also having my accelerator pedal "cut" and I already find my foot slipping off the accelerator pedal as I accelerate or let off the gas when I drive. My wife refuses to drive or be driven around in this 2007 Camry due to her belief it is a time bomb waiting to once again manifest unintended acceleration issues. My immediate concern is Toyota "cheaped out" using the same oil leaking prone part just to save labor costs versus using a 1-piece solid metal oil tube which is now in all the 2009 and 2010 Camry's....please do not insult me by stating the 3-piece oil line is "just as good" as a solid 1-piece metal oil line.

I own a 2007 Toyota Camry that was part of the gas pedal recall where sudden acceleration was periodically happening with my car. I had the recall work done about 3 weeks ago but about a week ago my car was speeding up when I didn't even have the gas pedal depressed, I was at a stop light with my foot on the brake when all of a sudden the car was trying to accelerate on me! there have been 2 more occurrences of this since then and I don't believe their repairs worked or its the computer or electrical or something, I called the dealer and they are having me bring it back in but they aren't sure what else can be done since they already fixed the recalled pedal. You need to have Toyota do more, it clearly was what they insisted it was.

The gas got stuck on our 2007 Toyota Camry and the car accelerated on its own. We informed our dealer when we went for the scheduled oil change, and they insured that everything was ok. Now, with the new Toyota developments, we went back to a dealership to receive the modifications on my gas pedal. But they said that my gas pedal model is one that does not have any problems and does not need any modifying. They did claim to have sanded down the pedal to prevent it from getting stuck under the floor mat, and they also said that they installed new software that would override the gas pedal when I slam on the brakes if it did ever get stuck and begin to accelerate freely. When we asked for information about this software, none could be provided. Also, when we spoke to our original dealer, they denied that we ever reported this incident.

I leased a Toyota Camry xle 2007 model from patt lobb Toyota, mckinney, tx sometime in the last quarter of 2007. I have experienced the problem of sudden acceleration so many times and complained to the dealer three times, first time with in the first week of leasing, and they told it is due to rack and pinion steering which gives me a different feel, second time they blamed on my tires as they don't have enough tread depth and last time they can not replicate the problem. This problem always happened when I accelerate around 60 mph.

My 2007 Camry hesitates when trying to accelerate from a standstill, and RPM keeps dropping from 2000 RPM to 1000 RPM for a second and back to 2000 RPM as I'm trying to maintain speed. It could make my car to slide on icy road because of this engine braking, and it happens every time I just touch gas pedal and let go RPM drops and goes back to cruising RPM all in 1 second. This happens as soon as I remove my foot of the gas pedal, causing like braking feeling. I told Toyota dealership in guelph, Ontario about this problem but their master service advisor craig allen says that is normal. I believe that there is electronic throttle issue.

My father was driving down a side street he knew well, had only gone two blocks, and accelerated through an intersection, but instead of turning left, according to witnesses he accelerated through the stop sign and was broadsided on the driver's side. He was unable to tell us what happened as he suffered a head injury in the accident, as well as a broken collarbone and rib. The witnesses said that he never slowed down at all, and was going well above the speed limit. This was very atypical for my father, who drove very slowly and had never had a ticket in his life. We strongly suspect that the car accelerated out of control, and this is consistent with the eyewitness description.

I took my vehicle to the Toyota dealer in kingsport tn for my recall. When I got there I told them how my vehicle acted. When I stop at a red light and when I start to pull out from the light I am pushing the gas and it hesitates and does not seem to want to pull out so I push harder and then it jerks and takes off. I was told that was not part of the recall that was normal. After they replaced the accelerator pedal modification override system my car. My car does not drive right or feels good there feels like something wrong with steering. And the hesitation at a red light is still the same. Also if we slow down for a curve you can hear the car motor speeding up and then when you go to give it gas it jerks and takes off flying. I also was told that I have a recall on my oil cooler hose that was replaced by the dealer. I had not heard anything on the oil cooler hose being on the recall. I do not feel safe in my vehicle with my family or myself.

I own a 2007 Toyota Camry 4 door, 4 cylinder, automatic. My wife and two daughters also drive this vehicle. I have had the recall for the mat, gas pedal, and the computer reprogrammed and serviced by the dealer. Our problem is; we start up the car and move into traffic, we turn the air- conditioning on high. We pull up to a red light and stop. We push down the accelerator and have to push a little harder to get the vehicle moving. We enter the intersection and go to make a left turn, we are moveinat approximately 3 - 6 M.P.H. the transmission is in 1st gear and then nothing. The car hesitates and will not shift into the next gear. My next reaction is to press the accelerator harder, no response, push harder and then the car will accelerate. This hesitation is dangerous. It is long enough to cause a collision. I know and expect power to be drained off the engine when air conditioning is used. We have had other vehicles with ac. This is unlike any other hesitation or sluggish acceleration. I repeat: It is dangerous! I have told the dealer three times about this but they do not recognize the importance.

Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) twice my 2007 camary accelerated without warning and almost caused crashes. Complained to Toyota and took the car in was told mine was not part of the recall!!!! basically told their was nothing they could do for me. It was said it was probably my aftermarket mats. Well I never moved my mats and once I finally shut the engine off while in park ( at 5rpm's ) the car reset. My mats were no where near the pedal. !!!!!!!!!!! and the car started up just fine. Sound like a computer problem. Our car has never shifted properly from the day we took it off the lot. It is like hesitant and wont respond normally, again like a computer malfunction. When you press the gas it jerks you and doesn't shift properly. I don't feel safe in my vehicle and I am left in limbo. I have to use my car and I have 3 children. Listening to the stories and having it happen to me personally I am deeply troubled that nothing has been solved for my car as well as others, again my car is not part of their recall please take careful note in this piece of information, because twice my car wouldn't stop and I am told their is nothing they can do for me because my car is not in the recall. Please help us. [xxx]

Back in July 2009, coming to a stop on bond road and waterman in elk grove, ca my 2007 Toyota Camry xler accelerated and hit SUV in front of me. No injury was caused, major damage to front end of my automobile no damage to SUV. Took car to folsom Toyota, reported incident, they said they would look at car, at the time was not advise of problems Toyota was having with accelerator. Was told nothing wrong with car, then vsc alarm was coming on, then that battery in two (2) year old car needed to be replaced. I told them that it was the key battery, they insisted that it was the car battery. Which I questioned because it said key battery. Then replaced the battery, the company who sold me the battery when car was only two yeas old. Then when we brought old battery back to them as a core. The guy questioned that there was nothing wrong with the battery. The green eye was still green and he thought there was nothing wrong with battery. The car dies twice leaving myself and daughter stranded at my daughters dance class where I have to call my father a retired mechanic to come and jump my battery. Then I went to elk grove Toyota and asked them to check battery in key they replaced the battery in key and the problem was solved. In September 2009 I received letter requiring that I take floor mats out of car. But still the car would accelerate especially when putting cruise control. So now worried to drive car. The floor mat were never the cause of acceleration.

Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I received a Toyota safety recall notice on my 2007 Camry. The notice described three separate repairs/remedy to my vehicle. The first repair involved installing a metal shim in the gas pedal assembly, which I had the dealer perform. The second "remedy" involved a technician cutting a section off the end of the gas pedal and cutting out a section of padding from under the drivers floor pan carpet. I declined this work as I have a newly designed awfm properly secured in place and do not believe this "remedy" would retain the oem quality of the vehicle - Toyota should redesign and install a new gas pedal instead. The third repair involved installing a brake override system. Of the three repairs, this is the most important as it offers a broad level of protection against unintended acceleration versus the narrow level of protection provided by the other two. When I called my Toyota dealership to have the brake override system installed they refused to do the work without also performing the gas pedal and carpet padding modification "remedy". I explained my dispute over this work and was given the number to Toyota customer service. After a forty minute wait I explained the situation to the Toyota customer service representative hilda. She also stated that Toyota was unwilling to install the brake override system without doing the other modification work. When I asked her for a reason she stated that Toyota agreed to NHTSA to do the work as a single recall. When I pressed her to determine if the NHTSA required Toyota to only perform the work if both the repair and "remedy" were done together, she stated she was unable to help me further and provided me with a case number ([xxx]). what do I have to do to make my vehicle safe" why is cutting up a vehicle without committing to properly repairing it at a later date considered acceptable"

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that there was a metal bar that caused the accelerator to stick. The vehicle has not been repaired.

The contact is very disappointed since she has called several times and has only been able to leave a voicemail. No one has returned her calls. The contact has not experienced any failures at this time. The current mileage was 53000.
