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 sit properly on the pedal as it should and did before this adjustment. We feel that a new gas pedal should be installed. We purchased this vehicle new and should be entitled to new parts for recalled items, not damaged items in a new vehicle. Is there anything you can do to assist with this matter or address Toyota Corp regarding this solution?

Sudden forceful acceleration of a 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid, not due to floor mat or sticking gas pedal (VIN number started with a J so was not part of subsequent recall for gas pedal problems), while easing into a head-in parking space. Forcefully hitting the break did not slow the vehicle and it only stopped, and was totaled, when it was steered into a concrete light pole to avoid entering a busy street. The acceleration was so forceful that the car hit and went over two approximately 8" concrete sides on a planter and only stopped when the right front tire and right front portion of the vehicle hit the concrete light pole. The force was sufficient to cause the right front seat passenger severe soft tissue injuries to the left chest that took 6 months to fully heal from the restraint of the tri-point seat belt.

The Camry suddenly lost of power after I tried to accelerate speed by pressing a little on the accelerator pedal. We were on uphill, not steep, just regular on I-84, 90 miles away from boston at that moment, the speed was 60 mile/H. the reason I tried to accelerate was I found my car could not run faster than 60 mile/H when it went uphills on the trip. I saw the speed slowly drop from 60 to 34 on the top of the hills. Then I tried to speed it up every downhill before the next up uphill. Finally we made up get home. The next day, July 06, 2009 I brought my car to Toyota at watertown, MA. After inspection, I was told my car lost memory. My car got re-calibration. Now car is running well.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. While driving at speeds of approximately 45 mph and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle was hesitant to pick up speed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was contacted to address the failure. He received an interim letter from the manufacturer pertaining to the floor mats and was advised to remove them.

Several weeks later, he contacted the manufacturer again to determine when he would receive his recall letter and he was told his vehicle was not under recall and was safe to drive.

Unintended acceleration in cold weather: This has been a problem since I first bought the car new in 2007 ( 2007 Toyota Camry le 4 cyl engine, automatic transmission). This occurs during cold weather ( less than 30 F) and during the first 20 minutes of driving. Problem description: When I am driving with light pressure on the accelerator and remove my foot to slow down, the car abruptly slows down after 1 to 2 seconds (tachometer drops from 1800 RPM to 1000 RPM) and makes a clunking sound. After 1 to 4 seconds, without touching the accelerator pedal, the car will then speed up ( another clunking sound from the drive train). The tachometer jumps from 1000 to 2000 RPM approximately. This occurs in all gears and is severe in 3rd gear when I take my foot off the accelerator and begin to brake. The result of this malfunction is immediate skidding on ice or snow cover surfaces. If I am in a turn, the car will start skidding in an uncontrolled manner. I live in new england so the roads are often slick in winter. I had reported this to service shortly after buying the car and was told it's normal, they can't reproduce the problem, they have no diagnostic faults, they can't find my service records, etc. I am reporting this because this could cause sliding accidents in winter weather and may have caused accidents in the past, particularly with people who are not prepared for this event.

On November 5, 2008 I was leaving my son's soccer practice and my accelerator became stuck on my 2007 Toyota Camry.

My car was still accelerating full force and my tires were burning rubber. I was able to finally slam my stickshift into neutral and the car stopped. Toyota was contacted shortly after the accident and sent someone out to look at the vehicle at the body shop. They sent me a letter stating there was nothing wrong with my car.

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 'fix' a few days later. However, I am concerned that they have not correctly diagnosed the problem. It seems to me that the gas pedal went down further than I pressed it, meaning there may be some electronic or other problem rather than 'sticking.' I know you have many such complaints, but I think it is important to determine if Toyota's remedy is adequate. Thank you.

My 2007 Camry on several occasions during the first few months of operation in April and May 2007 surged or lunged without cause. There were no injuries and no repair, no incidents occurred in the past two years. One incident occurred when starting up from a stop sign beside school children waiting at a bus stop. Another incident occurred when I slowly maneuvered to park in a tight space between two cars. Both driving instances required fine control and very little gas. Both instances occurred on cold mornings, a short distance and a short time after starting to drive in the morning. The car unexpectedly revved loudly and lunged forward, I braked hard, then it sort of stalled and became unresponsive and lagged before returning to normal control. These incidents were scary, could have caused personal or property injury and occurred without any known cause. The car seemed confused. The other predominant driver of the car had similar experiences. My car is subject to recalls. I have removed the floor mat but not taken it for the accelerator pedal repair. I believe the problem is a computer glitch and not the floor mat or the gas pedal. I received a floor mat recall notice early in ownership, on my first maintenance visit to Toyota I was told that my floor mat was not the defective one. Subsequent letters have said to remove the mat and stated that no repair is ready, they will contact me. I tried to call the dealer two weeks ago to ask about a repair after news reports and further recalls. My call was placed on hold for so long, I hung up and haven't called back. I think my car has a potential dangerous problem but I do not believe that Toyota is cable or will address that problem at this time. My VIN number does not indicate my car is eliminated from the recall. The consumer also experienced an intermittent erratic problem with the instrument control panel; the ABS and emergency brake lights illuminated and the tachometer, thermostat and other gauges bounced up and down. Also, the ac stopped working. The dea
