ACCELERATOR IS GETTING STUCK REPEATEDLY IN MY 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS STUCK I HAVE TO EITHER FORCE HARDER ON THE PEDAL OR I HAVE TO RELEASE MY FOOT AND THEN HIT THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN WITH A GREATER FORCE TO REMOVE THE PEDAL FROM THE STUCK POSITION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE HIGHLY WHEN THE PEDAL GETS RELEASED AND WITH MY GREATER FORCE ON PEDAL. I HAVE BEEN RUNNING THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS FOR SOMETIME BUT THIS ISSUE IS FREQUENTLY HAPPENING SO I WANTED TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO YOUR NOTICE AS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY CAR. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I DON'T DRIVE MY KIDS IN THIS CAR AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND THE PASSENGERS IN IT. *TR
AT TIMES WHEN I COME TO A STOP (TRAFFIC, STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC.) OR SLOW DOWN IN MY 1999 TOYOTA SOLARA I HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING FROM THE IDLE SPEED(S). WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE IT STICKS. IT WON'T MOVE UNLESS I APPLY MORE PRESSURE WHICH CAUSES MY CAR TO JERK OR "PEEL OUT". THIS SITUATION DOES NOT OCCUR AT EVERY ACCELERATION BUT DOES OCCUR FREQUENTLY. WHEN THIS SITUATION HAPPENS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW OCCURRENCES WHERE THE ROADS WHERE WET AND I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. WHEN MY CAR FINALLY ACCELERATED THE TIRES" SPUN OUT" WHICH CAUSED MY CAR TO MOVE VIOLENTLY. THIS INCIDENT IS NOT SIMILAR TO THAT OF WHICH IS IN THE TOYOTA GAS PEDAL RECALL BUT I URGE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER TO SEE IF IT SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, MY 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY (4 CYLINDER) HAS EXPERIENCED SUDDEN UNINTENDED ENGINE ACCELERATION. I DETECTED THAT THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN I AM COASTING TOWARDS A LIGHT BEFORE A HILL, THAT THE ENGINE WILL SPEED UP ON ITS OWN AND BEGIN ACCELERATING THE CAR. APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE STOPPED THE CAR IN MOST CASES, BUT ONCE I ENDED UP ACCELERATING AND COULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL I HIT SOME BUSHES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT THE ACCELERATION INCREASED ON ITS OWN. I AM REPORTING THIS NOW AS WITH THE NEWS ABOUT TOYOTA CAMRY'S, I BELIEVE THE 1999 MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST DATE THAT THIS OCCURRED TO ME WAS FEB 28, 2010, BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A FEW TIMES PER YEAR FOR FIVE YEARS. *TR
I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 TOYOTA SOLARA, HOME IN THE RAIN GOING 50 MPH WHEN A STREET LIGHT TURNED YELLOW, I STARTED TO PUT ON MY BRAKES, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN IN TIME TO STOP BEFORE THE INTERSECTION, SO I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES AND JUST WENT THROUGH THE YELLOW LIGHT. I FELT THAT IF I WAS DRIVING ANY OTHER ONE OF MY CARS THAT I WOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY TIME TO STOP. WHEN YOU TAKE THE FOOT OF THE GAS ON THIS CAR IT DOES NOT SLOW DOWN AUTOMATICALLY LIKE OTHER VEHICLES. WHEN I FIRST GOT THIS 1999 TOYOTA SOLARA I GOT A TICKET FOR NOT STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. THERE TO I ALSO THOUGH I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE IS FIGHTING AGAINST THE BRAKE WHEN I TRY TO STOP. SINCE THEN WHEN I COME UP TO A STOP SIGN I START BRAKING MUCH FURTHER BACK THAN I US TO. EVEN WHEN I'M STOPPED AT 700 RPM, THE CARS SEEM TO WANT TO START GOING. I ALWAYS THE FIRST ONE TO START OFF WHEN A STOP LIGHT , BECAUSE AS SOON AS I TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS THE CARS GOES 5 MPH WITH OUT EVEN PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS. THE DRIVE-ABILITY OF THIS CAR IS THE SAME AS OWNING A 1970'S PUMPED OUT MUSCLE CAR. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT ON THE NEWER CAMRY BASED TOYOTA CARS THAT THE DISC'S ON THE DISC BRAKES ARE TWICE AS BIG AS MY SOLARA'S DISK BRAKES, WHICH MEANS TO ME THAT TOYOTA KNOWS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE BRAKES. TO THE NOVICE DRIVER I WOULD SAY THAT THE SOLARA IS A DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE. *TR
MY CAMRY LE 4 CYLINDER IS EXPERIENCING STICKY GAS PEDAL FROM TIME TO TIME. IT IS NOT STICKING TO THE CARPET. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SO FAR. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN MOVING FROM COMPLETE STOP POSITION AT LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. *TR
I DRIVE A 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY. MY CAR'S GAS PEDAL ALSO HAS SIMILAR PROBLEM AS STATED IN THE RECENT RECALLS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE OFTEN WHEN WAITING AT A STOP SIGNAL/SIGN AND WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM ZERO. THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK AND REQUIRES ME DEPRESS THE PEDAL HARDER RESULTING IN SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND AFTER CAUSING SOME FRUSTRATION FOR DRIVERS BEHIND ME. I EVEN CALLED UP TOYOTA AND THEY ARE STATING SINCE MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, I THINK MY GAS PEDAL PROBLEM IS THE INITIAL PHASE OF THE OVERALL PROBLEM AND IS VERY SIMILAR TO PROBLEMS STATED BY MANY CONSUMERS WITH THIS ISSUE. ALSO, I AM AFRAID THAT DRIVERS BEHIND ME WOULD BEGIN ACCELERATING THE MOMENT THEY SEE THE GREEN SIGNAL AND MAY NOT REALIZE THAT MY CAR IN FRONT OF THEM IS STILL AT A STANDSTILL. THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN AN VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY CAR CAN BE HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME AND FATALLY AFFECTING MY SPOUSE AND CHILD SITTING IN THE REAR SEAT. CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE TOYOTA TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION AND FIX THE PROBLEM IN MY CAR? *CN
NOT SEVERE - BUT THIS IS AN OLDER TOYOTA AND I WANT THE PROBLEM LOGGED. MY CAR DOES "LURCH" IN SUDDEN ACCELERATIONS, BUT IT HAS NEVER BEEN SEVERE. I HAVE ONLY NOTICED WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND IN REVERSE. WHEN I AM STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY REVS. BUT I'M ALWAYS CLAMPED DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKE, SO THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM THERE. WHILE IN REVERSE, I HAVE ALSO HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION, BUT MINOR AND IT ONLY LASTS FOR A SECOND. BUT IT DOES HAPPEN. SINCE IT WASN'T HAPPENING ALL THE TIME, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. *TR

SHE WAS FORCED TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND SHIFT THE GEAR IN PARK. SHE WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE FLOOR MATS; HOWEVER, SHE OBSERVED THAT THE FLOOR MATS WERE NOT RELATED TO THE FAILURE. SHE ATTEMPTED TO PURCHASE NEW FLOOR MATS; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NONE AVAILABLE FOR HER YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED THE DAY PRIOR; ALTHOUGH, THE ACCELERATION WAS NOT AS HIGH, THEREFORE, THE CONTACT THOUGHT IT WAS IDLING TO HIGH. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000. UPDATED 10/30/09 *BF UPDATED 10/30/09.*JB
