I AM CONCERNED THAT MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A TREE THEN SURGED FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BACK INTO THE PARKING AREA WITH TREES THAT I HAD REVERSED OUT OF. MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLES ENGINE REVVED AND SURGED BACK THROUGH THE TREES. IMPACT WITH TREE ON LEFT DRIVERS SIDE FIRST THEN VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO TREE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THERE IS NO TIME TO REACT TO THIS TYPE OF DEADLY SPEED ACCELERATION. WHEN MY VEHICLE DID COME TO A STOP IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WAS $4,300, MY INSURANCE DOUBLED AND I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND THAT I DIDN'T KILL SOMEONE IN THE PARKING LOT. TOYOTA HAS NO RECALL FOR 2006 CAMRY BUT I HAVE COUNTED 50 TO 60 PLUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ALONE UNDER BRAKES, IGNITION, ACCELERATION ETC. TOYOTA SAYS I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH IS TOTALLY UNFAIR. MY VEHICLE HAS DEPRECIATED QUICKLY IN VALUE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, THE ACCIDENT, AND USED PARTS BEING USED IN THE ACCIDENT REPAIR. I FEEL AS IF I AM TAKING A CHANCE WITH MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY CHILD EACH TIME I DRIVE THIS CAR. YOU CANNOT GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID A CRASH. THIS IS DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
Vehicle speed control, Feb 1, 2010, crash
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEEMS TO BE "STICKY" AND HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE PURCHASE - IF YOU DEPRESS THE PEDAL, THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE SPEED WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY. THIS RESULTED IN MY CAR LURCHING FORWARD (WITH A LIGHT PRESS OF THE PEDAL) INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO INJURIES, BUT MY FRONT BUMPER WAS CRACKED FROM THE IMPACT. THERE WAS LESS THAN 5 FEET IN BETWEEN OUR CARS AT THE TIME, BUT ENOUGH FORCE TO PUT THE TRAILER HITCH OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THROUGH THE BUMPER. *TR

I CONTACTED TOYOTA AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE FLOOR MATS WITH THEIR TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES. I PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY (USED) IN JANUARY OF 2007.

I EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NO ANCHOR IN THE CARPETING OR A HOLE WHERE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN ONE. I FURTHER ADVISED THERE WAS NO HOLE IN THE MAT FOR AN ANCHOR. THE REP SOUNDED SURPRISED AT THIS AND TOOK DOWN MY INFORMATION. THE REP TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD HEAR BACK FROM TOYOTA AND TO REMOVE MY MATS AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE RECENT SAFETY ISSUES. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM TOYOTA AND THERE HAS BEEN NO UPDATE ON THIS SITE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MISSING MAT ANCHORS ON THE CARPETS. *TR
