My 2006 Toyota Corolla has had several episodes of unintended acceleration while going down steep mountains such as the grapevine pass near la and highway 101 between la and santa barbara. While going downhill, my 21 year old daughter tried to step on the brakes to slow down the car, but it suddenly accelerated to 90 miles an hour and she had some very very scary moments... we have taken the car to 2 different Toyota dealerships on several occasions and called Toyota's customer service number and service supervisors but our complaints were ignored on grounds that the 2006 Corolla was"not on the recall list" or that they could not "replicate the problem". since the problem only happens on steep, downhill roads when my daughter steps on the brakes to slow down the car, it naturally cannot be replicated on the flat surfaces of sacramento or Ontario, ca. After giving Toyota such specific information, one would hope that they would try to explore it, fix it or replace the car given the high degree of danger and the high incidence of deadly crashes in recent years. We are very frustrated with their failure to fix the problem or refund us the blue book value so that we could purchase a safer car for our child. The problem reoccur every time my daughter drives this rout to come home from college on vacations. She has adapted by driving only 55 miles per hour on the grapevine pass on the slowest lane. However, now that we are cognizant of the problem and hear about so many other people with similar complaints, we are simply terrified and want to buy her a new and a safer car. We feel totally frustrated by Toyota's failure to address the problem and by their tendency to brush it off despite the many fatalities. Please continue to put governmental pressures on Toyota and insist that they fix the problem rather than hide from it and abdicate their responsibility to their clients and other innocent drivers. Please help us and please call or email us.

My mother was driving a 2006 Toyota Corolla and was pulling into her parking place at her apartment (estimated moving only several mph). When she took her foot off of the accelerator to brake, the car suddenly lurched forward accelerating very fast, jumped the curb, and crashed through the building wall and into a neighbor's apartment. The car struck the tenant inside, causing extensive injuries. The police surmised her foot hit the accelerator, but she kept repeating 'the car suddenly jumped forward on its own'. lacking evidence to the contrary, we had no way to question the police's report; however, in my mother's recounting the experience, it didn't seem to make any sense. Then, as we have seen others recently recounting similar experiences and watching videos acceleration problems with Toyota vehicles, we realized that this seemed to be exactly what our mother experienced. Furthermore, both my sister and my niece both recently drove my mother's car on the expressway and both experienced sudden rapid acceleration while driving with the cruise control engaged. The problem they experienced was so unsettling, that they warned my mother to keep the cruise control turned off. These experiences combined with reports that problems with earlier models of Toyota vehicles than the 2009-2010 recalled models led us to believe that our mother's accident was caused by this sudden acceleration problem that has been uncovered with Toyota vehicles.

March 4, 2010 2006 Toyota Corolla le. Over the last few months, I am noticing sudden acceleration of my vehicle even when I am braking the vehicle and trying to stop it. Before all these recall issues started, I thought it was just me or the road may have some downgrades. But now after seeing that thousands of other drivers are having this issue, I now feel my observation with my vehicle speeding suddenly is not an illusion. Toyota has not included 2006 Toyota Corollas in their recall list. But I strongly feel that they should also be in the list as there may be several thousands of drivers like me, feeling this sudden acceleration and not reporting it because of the prolonged process. Please have Toyota take a look at 2006 Corollas as well in their recall list.

My wife had a major accident last week in seaville, NJ. She was driving a 2006 Toyota Corolla S. the weather was cold outside but it was not snowing. She had ample of distance and time to stop the vehicle at the traffic light. She hit on the brakes when the light turned yellow. The car still kept on going and did not slow down. She slammed the brakes real hard and the car still kept on going. Finally the car stopped when it hit 2 trucks on cross traffic. The driver side air bag deployed. My wife was rushed to the er directly from the accident scene. Police was on site. She was hurt pretty bad in her neck, lower back, shoulder foot etc. I would never buy a Toyota again. Both her and my confidence is lost in Toyota. Government should be stricter with examining cars. Her car was not identified as part of recall. I would ask the government to inform other 2006 Toyota owners to be very careful. Updated 03/08/10

On 3, August 2009, I dropped off my Toyota Corolla, year 2006, to power Toyota, irvine, ca due to the vehicle abruptly lunges forward when accelerator pedal is barely touched. When I picked up the car, the vehicle still lunges forward when barely touching gas pedal. Thus, immediately brought the car back to service, asked to have the issue lunging forward looked at again. Power Toyota service team assigned a mechanic to ride along with me for a test drive. During the test drive, the mechanic agreed the lunging forward from a dead stop is not normal and we drove back to power Toyota facility. Once arrived at Toyota, the mechanic went to talk to his supervisor and a different mechanic came out and looked at the car. The second mechanic stated 'this is normal for Toyota', dismissing the first mechanics observations. I asked for the first mechanic, the second mechanic stated 'the mechanic (first) is not available. If I wish, I could have the electronic accelerator parts replaced, but I will need to pay for the repair/service and the expense will not be covered by Toyota. Recently I contacted power Toyota to make an appointment to have my vehicle's accelerator system inspected, power Toyota said 'since the vehicle is not included in the recall, I will need to contact Toyota's consumer department, power Toyota cannot do anything'. thus, contacted Toyota consumer department and verbally made a complaint on said issue. 'vehicle abruptly lunges forward when the accelerator petal is barely touched. With recent information released by Toyota on Corolla accelerator systems (other Toyota models are include) and recalls. I am formally asking Toyota motor sales service department to critically inspect my vehicle's accelerator's electronic and mechanical system and replace all parts in question, to ensure occupants safety. How and where can I have my vehicle's accelerator system inspected, at this time, Toyota has not contact me on this issue.

My Toyota Corolla has accelerated unexpectedly several times, generally when the temperature is around 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The first time I noticed it, I rear-ended a pickup truck after a red light had turned green. The second time, I was backing out of a parking space and the car shot backwards 30' into a post (denting my bumper and breaking the rear drivers' side lights). The third time, nothing was broken - I was the only person on the road - but it scared the bejesus out of me. I called Toyota to complain and they said that there is no recall on my car. My belief is that there are accelerator / electronics problems with the Toyota Corolla that they are not admitting.
