2012 Toyota Camry Cruise Control Problems

Your 2012 Camry experiences transmission shudder and vibration between 20–50 mph, particularly during acceleration when merging or in traffic. This matches a known Toyota technical issue involving the torque converter and engine control software. Toyota declined warranty assistance because your vehicle is outside the 8-year coverage window, even though it's within the mileage limit and the problem is well-documented. The fix would likely involve torque converter service or ECM software reprogramming by a Toyota dealer.

The contact's fiancé owns a 2012 Toyota Camry. While the contact's fiancé was driving 55 MPH with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle shuddered and decelerated from 55 MPH down to 20 MPH. The contact stated that the check engine and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 240,000.

Computer system failure ABS system not functioning causing driving functions not working. Problem continuously reproduced by independents and finally by Dealer. Dashboard lights on, engine, tracking, ABS, Brak and other lights. MPG reduced with speedometer down to zero while driving.

There was a recall on this Camry model 2012 to 2014 that the Charlotte, NC dealership refused to cover. I am having a transmission issue that causes my car to shudder and vibrate at regular speeds. “shudder comes from the transmission, especially during the acceleration of the Camry models. It can be alarming for the driver and be a safety concern when the gears do not properly change during operation. When this problem persists over a significant period of time, it has the poetry to cause long-term damage to your transmission. Damage to your transmission can be costly and affect the overall performance of your Toyota…” -Toyota of west county website

WHEN DRIVING THE HESITATING TO ACCELERATE AND SLOW DOWN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ADVANTAGE TOYOTA I'M VALLEY STREAM NY AND THE TOLD ME THE ENGINE MOUNT IS BROKEN. I PAID 890.00 TO FIXED AND THE PROBLEM NEVER FIX. I TOOK ON 03-12-21 AND GET ON 0313-21. CALL THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT SIX TIME TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANGER AND NEVER RETURN OR ANSWER THE CALL. THEY TOLD ME HE IS BUY.

I HAVE A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE MAKING A TURN THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION. IF THE TURN IS LONG, AS IN A CLOVERLEAF EXIT, THE VEHICLE WILL ALMOST STOP. PRESSING THE GAS HAS NO EFFECT. THE VEHICLE WILL LAG UNTIL IT ALMOST STOPS OR UNTIL YOU COME OUT OF THE TURN. FROM WHAT I FIND ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 AND LATER TOYOTA CAMRYS BUT DEALERS STONEWALL ABOUT IT. I HOPE YOU GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION COULD BE DANGEROUS.

THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY STOP ACCELERATING WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. YOU CAN THEN LIFT UP AND PRESS BACK DOWN AND IT NORMALLY WILL RESPOND AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND ENTERING A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A POLE. A POLICE REORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TOYOTA CAMRY 2012 AND 2013 WHICH I HAVE WHEN THERE IS AN ELEVATION AND THERE IS A SIGNAL.IMMEDIATLY WHEN YOU TAKE YOU LEG OUT OF BRAKE . THE CAR IMMEDIATELY START ROLLING BACK SOO FAST. I MISSED HITTING THE CAR BEHIND NUMBER OF OCCASIONS BY PRESSING GAS QUICKLY. I HAVE SHOWED THIS PROBLUM TO DEALER THEY SAID IT IS COMMON PROBLUM. THE CAR SHOULD NOT GO TOO FAST BACK IN A SMALL ALIVATION WHICH IS NOT SAFE .

ON 5/24/18 AT 1435 IN CHICAGO IL, MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY FULLY ACCELERATED THROUGH ONGOING TRAFFIC AFTER LIGHTLY DEPRESSING THE PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND I HAD TO MANEUVER THROUGH ONCOMING TRAFFIC INTO A GRASS AREA ACROSS THE STREET TO SLOW DOWN BUT COMING DOWN ON THE OTHER SIDE HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. CHICAGO POLICE DEPT REPORT #JB-282363

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT DRIVING ON A CITY STREET DUE TO THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING, I SLOWED DOWN THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL. THE CAR TOOK OFF I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES BUT STILL HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALER MORE THAN ONCE ABOUT THE VEHICLE STALLING AND ACCELERATING. I HAD FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY BUMPER AND HOOD. THE VEHICLE I CRASHED INTO BACK BUMPER WAS ALSO DENTED.

TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED WORKING 3 TIMES IN SUCCESSION. ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS FULLY RELEASED THEN DEPRESSED AGAIN TO REGAIN FUNCTION EACH TIME.

ACCELERATING UP A PARKING STRUCTURE, ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED WORKING. ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD TO BE FULLY RELEASED THEN DEPRESSED AGAIN TO REGAIN FUNCTION.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP (TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN), THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE ABOUT 20 FEET OR 20 MPH AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. . THIS HAPPENED AT THOSE INTERVAL. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CROSS TRAFFIC IS UNCONTROLLED.

WHEN ACCELERATING CAR HESITATE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS THEN TAKE OFF WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND ALSO DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WITH MY KIDS IN CAR. *TR

I WAS IN MY GYM'S PARKING LOT AND HAD JUST TURNED LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE. I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR TO A STOP AS IT MOVED FORWARD INTO THE PARKING SPACE. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND. INSTEAD, THE CAR CONTINUED DRIVING FORWARD ON ITS OWN, AND THEN I HEARD A SOUND OF ACCELERATION, AS IF THE CAR WAS REVVING ITSELF UP TO A HIGHER SPEED. THINKING THAT THE BRAKE HAD NOT ENGAGED, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND PLACED IT BACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, STEPPING HARDER, BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. AT THIS POINT, WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR JUMPED UP ONTO THE CURB WHILE STILL ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, RAN OVER THE SIDEWALK. ROLLED UP AND OVER A TWO-FOOT HEDGE THAT RAN PARALLEL TO THE SIDEWALK, THEN CRASHED INTO THE BRICK ENFORCED CONCRETE COLUMN AT THE CORNER OF THE GYM BUILDING. THE BRICK COLUMN STOPPED THE FORWARD MOMENTUM OF THE CAR, BUT LEFT A LARGE DENT IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR'S BUMPER THAT WAS EMBEDDED WITH CHUNKS OF CONCRETE. IT ALSO DENTED THE HOOD OF THE CAR, PUSHING IT OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE REPORTED MY ACCIDENT TO TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS. I AUTHORIZED THEIR REVIEW OF MY CAR'S EVENT DATA RECORDER AND AM AWAITING THEIR INVESTIGATION REPORT. THIS FRIGHTENING ACCIDENT LEFT ME VERY SHAKEN. IT FELT AS IF I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT ALL. IT SEEMED AS IF SOMETHING HAD TAKEN CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR AND MY ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR'S FORWARD MOMENTUM BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE HAD ZERO IMPACT. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY MALFUNCTION. THEY ARE LETHAL WEAPONS ON OUR CITY STREETS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS LIGHTLY DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HIT A TRAFFIC POLE. THE CONTACT APPLIED FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SURGE FORWARD. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

WHEN LEFT FOOT IS MOMENTARILY LEFT ON BRAKE WHILE DEPRESSING ACCELERATOR WITH RIGHT FOOT ACCELERATION BEGINS THEN STOPS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS CAUSING A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA ADMITTED THEY HAVE A PROGRAM BUILT INTO THE CAMRY TO OFFSET "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" ISSUE. SO, THEY ADMITTED THEY ELIMINATED A MAJOR ISSUE WHILE CREATING ANOTHER ISSUE. TOYOTA'S LOGIC IS RIDICULOUS. THEY ARE IDIOTS!!!

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW WITH MY 2012 CAMRY NOT ACCELERATING WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I TURN A CORNER & MOST RECENTLY HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD DOWN A CITY STREET. I COULD BE GOING ABOUT 25-35 MPH, PRESS THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN BUT THEN WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN, THE CAR WILL STALL MEANING IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL & JUST COASTS. I'VE HAD OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE MY CAR & THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD CARS ALMOST RUN INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS & I HAVE CHILDREN WITH ONE OF THEM BEING ONLY 2 YEARS OLD & THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WITH ME AT TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA OF THE PROBLEM MANY TIMES BUT THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME THAT IT'S NORMAL & THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE IS EXPERIENCING SOME TYPE OF DELAY OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT & THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED MY CAMRY BRAND NEW IN 2012 & I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT THE SERVICE CURRENT ON MY CAR. OF COURSE TOYOTA HAS PROOF OF THAT IN THEIR SYSTEM. I NEED FOR THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE & CORRECT IT BEFORE MYSELF, MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS SEVERELY HURT OR LOSE OUR LIVES OR CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN ESPECIALLY WHILE IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. I WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE TOYOTA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS LIGHTLY DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE.

VEHICLE NOW AT DEALERSHIP FOR IRREGULAR ACCELERATION PATTERNS, AND RANDOM HESITATION. CAN START OFF AT LIGHT AND VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND NORMALLY, AND THEN TAKES OFF. THIS IS SCARY WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING AND BLAMING ME. I'VE READ MANY INSTANCES ON LINE WITH SAME PROBLEM. HOW DO I HANDLE THIS BEFORE THERE'S AN ACCIDENT? THIS IS DANGEROUS. I'VE SINCE BEEN ADVISED OF PROBLEMS ALSO WITH THIS DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING ON XPRESSWAY JUST PULLING ONTO IT,PUSH DOWN ON GAS TO GET SPEED AND PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAMRY WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THEN 40 I LET UP AND TRIED AGAIN AND STILL 40, THEN ALL AT ONCE IT STARTED GOING FASTER AND FASTER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED JUST OVER A MONTH AGO. MADE A 1 HOUR TRIP YESTERDAY WITH OUR 2 CHILDREN. SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK TWICE AS I WAS ENTERING THE CITY WE WERE VISITING. ONE WOULD'VE BEEN SERIOUS DUE TO LOCATION. BOTH TIMES OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DECELERATING TO GO AROUND SHARP TURNS BY LETTING OFF THE GAS, BUT NOT USING BREAK. PRIOR TO ENTERING TOWN, THE CRUISE HAD BEEN SET, BUT WAS TURNED OFF BEFORE ISSUE OCCURRED. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL TOYOTA OWNER FOR NEARLY 2 DECADES. WE'VE OWNED 6 DIFF TOYOTAS (TUNDRA, TACOMA, PRIUS, 2 CAMRYS, AND A LEXUS LS 400) AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING BUT GREAT QUALITY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ISSUE I EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY, WITH THE NEGLIGENT MANNER IN WHICH IT SEEMS TOYOTA HAS HANDLED THESE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS, IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CAUSE ME TO RECONSIDER EVER OWNING ANOTHER TOYOTA. IF IT CAN'T BE RESOLVED (WHICH IT SEEMS IT CAN'T), I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND GET A DIFFERENT CAR NOW, SINCE I'VE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR ABOUT 6 WEEKS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MY LONG TIME FAVORITE AUTO MANUFACTURER. VERY DISAPPOINTED! I WOULD WELCOME DISCUSSION ON THIS MATTER. *TR

2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. DAUGHTER WROTE IN ON BEHALF OF MOTHER. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BY PRESSING ON THE BRAKE. *SS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO STOP, AS SHE APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. THE DRIVER EVENTUALLY CRASHED INTO A FENCE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS MILEAGES, THE ENGINE BEGAN LOSING POWER. THE ENGINE RESTARTED AFTER POWER LOSS BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I WAS SLOWLY ACCELERATING INTO A PARKING SPACE WHEN I FELT THE GAS PEDAL MOVE AWAY FROM MY FOOT AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR STOPPED. I SAT FOR A MINUTE TO SEE WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. NOTHING WAS EVIDENT, SO I BACKED INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.

A FRIEND AND ME WERE ON A TRIP TO MARKSVILLE, LA, AND I PUT MY CRUISE CONTROL ON, GOING ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR DOWN THE INTERSTATE 20, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST TOOK OFF. IT SCARED US SO BAD I DIDN'T USE IT ANYMORE DURING THE TRIP. WILL, THIS MONTH MY HUSBAND AND ME WERE GOING TO SHEVEPORT, LA AND I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AGAIN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST TOOK OFF LIKE A JET. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND IT QUIT. MY HUSBAND ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING PUTTING ON THE GAS LIKE THAT. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T DO IT AND TOLD HIM ABOUT THE TIME BEFORE. SO WE DIDN'T USE THIS CRUISE CONTROL ANYMORE DURING THIS TRIP. I'M WRITING TO YOU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN CASE SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN THAT MIGHT CAUSE DEATH, JUST IN CASE IF I HIT THE BRAKE AND IT DOESN'T WORK I'LL HAVE THIS IN WRITING.. FOR YOU AND MY FAMILY. YOU NEVER KNOW. HAVE YOU HAD ANY MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL? *TR

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND AS SOON AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR DID NOT MOVE AS USUAL, SO I MOVED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. ONCE MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR TOOK A CERTAIN SPRING AND UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. I WAS TAKING BY SURPRISED AND QUICKLY ACTED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS INCIDENT TO TOYOTA OF NORTH AMERICA AND WILL WAIT FOR THEM TO INSTRUCT ME AS TO WHAT TO DO. SAFETY IS A GREAT CONCERN TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND HOPE THAT TOYOTA DOES THE RIGHT THING AND MAKES SURE TO PROVIDE US AN ANSWER AND REPAIRS OUR VEHICLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE DEFECT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS SIMILAR TO COMPLAINT #10545567. THE CAMRY EXPERIENCES SPURIOUS OR INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION HESITATION AND SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION ESPECIALLY IN WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY OR ACCELERATING ONTO AN INTERSTATE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE SITUATION, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION, THE DEALER DOESN'T SEE IT AND CLAIMS CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 2012 JUST FOR MY USUAL COMMUTE OF 20 MILES PER DAY. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS JUST ABOUT 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE STALLING ANYTIME I SLOW DOWN ON TRAFFIC OR TURNING. I THOUGHT BECAUSE IT NEW VEHICLE BUT IT KEEP ON UNTIL MY FIRST OIL CHANGE ABOUT 5000 MILES WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP; THERE IS NO ANY CODE AND I WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT; SECOND OIL CHANGE NO PROBLEM FOUND. NOW IT STALLS ALMOST ANY TIME THAT I AM DRIVING IT, I DID OPEN A CASE (CASE #: 1309201533) WITH TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA, AND I GOT CALL FROM THEIR REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE TODAY THAT BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE, TOYOTA CANNOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO ANY CODE TO DIAGNOSTIC. I AM AFRAID, THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO ME AND MY FAMILY BECAUSE I HAVE NINE AND SEVEN YEARS OLD WHO ALWAYS SIT AT THE BACK, AND IF THE CAR WAS TO STALL US ON HIGHWAY, IT WILL BE A SERIOUS DISASTER FOR MY FAMILY. PLEASE, I WILL LIKE TOYOTA TO TAKE THE VEHICLE WITH A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTICS OR REPLACE IT COMPLETELY AS I AM PAYING FOR IT AS AT NOW. THANK YOU *JS

I WAS PULLING MY CAR ONTO THE CARPORT FROM DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS AT SAME LEVEL, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. THE CAR ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE CAR SURGING FORWARD AND THE RPM INCREASING AS I WAS CRASHING THROUGH THE CARPORT, FENCE, PATIO, TWO FOUR-WHEELERS, THE CONCRETE PATIO STAIRS, PROPANE BBQ GRILL AND A WHEEL BARREL. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD, AND IT DID NOT STOP AND THE MOTOR CONTINUE TO RACE; I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. AFTER ALL THE DEBRIS WHICH WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND UNDER IT, IT COULDN'T GO ANY FURTHER BUT THE WHEELS WHERE STILL SPINNING AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR MY HUSBAND WHO SEEN IT AND HEARD IT, HE YELLED AT ME " TURN OFF THE ENGINE" I DON" KNOW WHAT ELSE THE CAR WOULD HAVE DESTROYED. THE CAR MISSED RUNNING OVER MY HUSBAND AND THE HOUSE BY A COUPLE OF FEET. *TR

YESTERDAY I WAS PULLING INTO MY SISTERS DRIVEWAY WHICH IS ON A DOWNSLOPE INCLINE AND MY CAR SEEMED TO ACCELERATE TO THE POINT THAT I HAS TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES VERY HARD TO STOP THE CAR. SHE HAS A CARPORT IN WHICH HER CAR WAS PARKED AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH INTO THE CARPORT AND HER CAR. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. IT HAPPENED SO FAST AND SO UNEXPECTED I'M NOT SURE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, ONLY WHAT I FELT LIKE HAPPENED. I HEARD A SCRUBBING NOISE AS I WAS PUSHING ON THE BREAK PEDAL AND I THOUGHT MAYBE PUSHING ON THE BRAKE SO HARD HAD CAUSED THAT. THANK-YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER. *TR

ON ACCELERATION THE GAS CUTS OUT, LASTING AROUND 3 TO 10 SECONDS. I CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS CONDITION, IT JUST HAPPENS SPORADICALLY.

IN SEPTEMBER 2012 I EXPERIENCED A FLATTENING OUT OF THE ACCELERATION. TURNING AT A VERY LOW SPEED THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE (THIS STILL OCCURS OFF AND ON). IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING TO THE CAR BEHIND ME THAT I AM NO LONGER MOVING FORWARD. IT IS LIKE A STALLING OUT WHICH LAST AROUND 5 SECONDS OR SO. VERY UNNERVING BUT ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM GOING SLOW AND TURNING THE WHEEL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY BUT SUDDENLY THE ENGINE REVVED ALL THE WAY TO 7000 RPM AND THE CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY. I PUT MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE ENGINE STILL STAYS AT 5000 RPM AND DOESN'T GO BACK DOWN TO NORMAL. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITH EMERGENCY LIGHT ON.
