2002 Toyota Camry Fuel System Other Problems

VEHICLE DIES IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN IDLING. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT A FEW DAYS BACK. I AM TOLD THIS IS THE FAILED THROTTLE BODY (APPARENTLY A DEFECTIVE PART) WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY. UPON PULLING INTO A PARKING STALL I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AS NORMALLY DONE WHEN PARKING. AT THIS TIME THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, THE ENGINE RACED, THE CAR HOPPED THE CURB AND HIT A BUILDING. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE TIED TO THE CURRENT GAS PEDAL RECALL. I HAVE A WITNESSES THAT WILL ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT DURING THIS WHOLE SCENERIO MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON THE WHOLE TIME. *TR

2002 TOYOTA CAMRY EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE. CAMRY WITH 128,000 MILES WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. DEALER SAID IT WILL COST ABOUT $1000 TO REPAIR. CHARCOAL CANNISTER FAILURE, EMISSION VALVES AND FUEL FILLER NECK FAILURE. *TR

THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN MY GARAGE. I HAD BACKED THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE AND LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WITH THE CAR IN PARK WHILE I REMOVED THE GARBAGE CONTAINER AND UPON RETURNING TO MY CAR ABOUT 1 MINUTE LATER, I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SHIFTED THE CAR INTO DRIVE. IMMEDIATELY, THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD AT A VERY HIGH SPEED AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT MY FOOT REMAINED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT DID NOT STOP AND CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE WALL AT THE REAR OF MY GARAGE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED MINIMIZING MY INJURIES. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY - THE FRONT END WAS BADLY SMASHED AND THE FRAME WAS BENT. THE TOTAL ESTIMATE TO REPAIR WAS IN EXCESS OF $9000. THE TOTAL TRAVEL OF THE CAR WAS 26 FEET. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST THE CAR ACCELERATED TO, HOWEVER IN THE 60,000 MILES THAT WE HAD DRIVEN THE CAR, I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS HIGH DEGREE OF ACCELERATION. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN I HAD FIRST RE-ENTERED THE CAR JUST PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A FAST ENGINE IDLE AT ALL. ALSO, I OBSERVED AFTER THE CRASH THAT MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING LODGED BENEATH THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

CAR DIED WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AROUND A CURVE. POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND CAR NEARLY HIT THE CURB AND SEVERAL PARKED CARS. TOOK VEHICLE TO TOYOTA WHO REFUSED TO FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS CONSUMER'S FAULT THAT IT HAPPENED. THEY SAID THAT FUEL GOT INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER, WHICH THEY CLAIMED TO BE EVIDENCE THAT CONSUMER TOPPED OFF AT THE GAS PUMP. I TOLD THEM THAT I NEVER TOPPED OFF (FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS AS WELL AS VEHICLE PROTECTION), AND THEY SAID IT ALSO COULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE THE CAR SAT AT AN ANGLE IN THE DRIVE WAY BUT THAT THEY STILL WOULDN'T FIX IT. *TT
