No one seems to know what the problem is: Gas pedal, floor mat, electronics etc. Since August we have only driven this vehicle 4,200 miles because are afraid of sudden excel ration and other phenomena that might occur.

There is a real safety problem with Toyota and all they do is deny.

I purchased a 2010 Toyota Camry in July 2009. I was returning home from visiting relatives in NJ. In early August. I was on a stretch of highway leading into 290 worchester from the mass pike auburn, when I accelerated to pass a semi truck and the accelerator stuck. I reached a speed of 85mph, so I punched the pedal with my feet and it dislodged. I reported the incident to the prime Toyota dealership in saco, me.'s service dept. In Nov. When I brought in the vehicle for a routine oil change. They had me remove the floor mats. I recently had the recall repair, so far there has not been another incident, but I am still leery about accelerating quickly and have not attempted to test pressing the pedal to the floor.
Stopped at intersection. Placed foot on gas pedal and was attempting to turn right.

Damage to car estimated at $2000. Reported incident to police. Police and firetruck arrived on scene. Airbags did not deploy but my shoulder was injured.
Got a Toyota Camry le April 3rd 2010, today is April 9th, I was entering a parking slot between 2 parked cars (drivers were inside their cars waiting for the shift to start), the car did an unintended sudden acceleration as I was turning into the parking spot, was about to hit the car on my left, luckily hit the brakes in time. The driver in the parked car on the left was looking at me like I was some crazy guy who didn't know how to drive. Note to readers- I had not taken the issue seriously, didn't even know what exactly was wrong with Toyota, went and got one because they were having good deals, but you don't take it lite, it's a serious issue, you'll feel it only when it happens to you, I'm going to return the car tomorrow, not sure how much I end up spending.

I leased 2010 Toyota Camry on 7/27/09 from hudson Toyota, jersey city, NJ. In December 2009 my vehicle accelerated by itself and by applying the brakes the vehicle went back to normal. In January 2010, Toyota reported a recall announcing that my vehicle is falling under their recall campaign. I have not received any notice letter from Toyota regarding the recall fix. On 2/16/10, when I took my vehicle to my local dealer for 5000 miles service, I was told then that my vehicle is under the recall campaign and it will take longer to perform the fixes. Now with all the news has been coming out regarding the lack of Toyota's safety and credibility, and whole other facts: Toyota manufacturer leased to me 2010 Camry with full knowledge about the vehicle defect (sudden acceleration) since 2007.on 3/18/10, I seek resolution for my case by trying to exit my fraud lease agreement. I had my arbitration hearing through national center of dispute settlement at hudson Toyota, jersey city. I'm trying to have Toyota buy back the vehicle (2010 Camry) and refund me the payments I did since 7/27/09. The gentleman-represented Toyota claimed he is the region district manager, have no business card and refused to answer safety questions about their product. He was spending most of the hearing time on his blackberry, the arbitrator from national center for dispute settlement never commented on Toyota's representative behaviors. I'm still waiting for a decision, which most likely to be in Toyota's favor as the ncds lacked the transparency in conducting that hearing. Are there any further actions I should take to exit my lease and get a complete refund, as I don't feel safe driving their vehicle.
My 2010 Camry has been to the dealer a few times. Know one seems to be able to duplicate the acceleration surge I'm experiencing. I contacted Toyota directly. They sent me to different dealer. Dealer had it for a day and said the same thing "can't duplicate" I think they have all been schooled to say this. I had the service manager ride with me and told him to watch the RPM dial when I go to stop. He saw the RPM dial move up to almost 2000 when I hit the brake. He had me drive another 2010 Camry and it did the same thing. I had a 98 avalon and a 03 Camry that did not do this. He explained to me that this is the way these new cars down sift and it's different than the older Toyota's. he assured me that my car is safe and I have nothing to worry about. After reading all of the other complaints here I'm not 100% sold that this is normal down sifting. I think I'm going to take this to arbitration. I hate to do this because I love my new car...I'm just really nervous driving it.
I have a new 2010 Camry. Toyota has a recall also on the floor mat/gas pedal issue. Toyota took a grinder to my gas pedal as their fix per corporate instructions Toyota should do is give it's customers new gas pedals not grind down their current gas pedals. It appears that Toyota just is trying to save money.
Car: 2010 Camry le. Twice since purchasing the car in November the car has accelerated on its own. When accelerating to pass, the gas pedal travels to the floor, when it was not pushed that far. Both times I reacted by quickly putting the car in neutral and the pedal immediately returned to its neutral position. No damage, no injuries in either event.

I had called Toyota at performance Toyota and told them that out 2010 Toyota Camry was making a strange noise when accelerating. They said they would come to my home and pick up the car on Monday the 8th. No one came. I called oksana my saleslady on the 10th and left her a message on her machine and she did not call back..on the 14th we we're going to church and as we we're pulling into the parking space my husband had his foot on the brake but the car accelerated over 2 concrete parking curbs and ended up in the upper parking lot about 10 feet up the hill. My husband had to keep both feet on the brake but the engine still kept on speeding until it got caught on both concrete barriers. 2 people in the parking lot witnessed this.
