2019 Toyota Camry Cruise Control Problems

On March 13th, 2024, while pulling into the driveway and lightly accelerating due to the slight incline of the driveway, the accelerator pedal fell from under my foot. The car accelerated hard, plowing through the garage door, a washer/dryer unit, a storage rack and into the back wall of the garage. The car bounced back but was still accelerating, leaving marks from the tire spinning in the garage. The brakes were ineffective in stopping the vehicle. After hitting the wall I was able to shut the car off using the key. The airbags did not deploy. Note: The car has molded OEM floormats that were secure at the time of the accident. The vehicle was towed to a body shop and the insurance company declared the vehicle a total loss.

The contact owned a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while his son was driving approximately 56 mph, the accelerator pedal was released but the vehicle continued forward.

The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There were no reported fires.

The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called an independent mechanic.

unsafe condition , throttle becomes unresponsive intermittently no response right after starting the engine , no messages on dash to alert driver like reduced power or any CHECK ENGINE LIGHT that will show a component DTC , vehicle has been twice at the dealer ship with no fix results, last time the computer was reprogramed but problem not corrected , they claim not be able to recreate condition , I am concern this may happen while the vehicle is driven changin lanes or passing other car.

Throttle pedal becomes unresponsive right after starting the car at times , I am concern this may happen while driving , dealership claims they can not reproduce the problem , second time back to the dealership the reprogramed the engine computer but problem continues, car is not cover under warranty , it is a 2019 Camry LE with 2.5 engine , they claim not been able to find the cause of the problem. car has only 32,000 miles , and gradually the problem is becoming more often , can led to an accident.

INTERMITTENTLY THE CAR WILL LURCH AHEAD. THIS IS UPON START FROM A STANDING START AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ACCELERATING. OUR SERVICE WRITER SAID THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS BUT THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR ACT THIS WAY BEFORE AND I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (ABOUT 3-4 TIMES A WEEK) WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE THE ENGINE STALLS AND I HAVE TO RETRY AT LEAST TWICE FOR MY CAR TO START. AT RED LIGHTS THE VEHICLE LAGS AND TAKES A MOMENT TO PICK UP SPEED. OFTEN IN A JERKING MOTION. WHEN ACCELERATING TO SPEEDS ABOVE 20-80 MPH THE STALLING STARTS AGAIN AND DOES NOT FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING. WE NOTIFIED OUR DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE WHEN GETTING SERVICED AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ON WHY IT WAS DOING THIS. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE DECEMBER 2019 AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. ONCE WE RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WE REQUESTED FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE OUR CAR IN FOR THE RECALL FUEL PUMP AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE OUR CAR AND ADVISED US TO GO TO OTHER TOYOTA/ LEXUS DEALERSHIPS. THE OTHER TOYOTA/LEXUS DEALERSHIPS TOLD US TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WERE WE GET ARE CAR SERVICED AT HAVE THEM TAKE OUR CAR IN FOR SERVICE. WHEN WE WENT TO THE ORIGINAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED OUR CAR FROM, THEY STILL REFUSED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL SINCE WE EXPLAINED THEM HOW UNSAFE THE CAR IS WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE TRIED EMAILING AND DO NOT GET ANY RESPONSES. WE ALSO TRIED CALLING TO SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER BUT NONE OF THE MANAGERS HAVE TAKEN OUR CALLS OR TRIED TO CALL US BACK.

THE VEHICLE STALLS MAKING IT UNSAFE TO SWITCH LANES WHILE BEING AT A STOP AND BEING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE NOVEMBER AND MY REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING I SLOWED DOWN DUE TO A CAR BEING IN FRONT OF ME BUT WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED OR ACCELERATE. MY CAR HAS 24,000 MILES AND HAVE NOTICED A HESITATION WHEN IN TRAFFIC DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR 6,000 MILES BUT RECENTLY AT 24,000 MILES 1 INSTANCE OF STALLING

WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN A CAR PASSES YOU WHEN IT CHANGES LANES IN FRONT OF YOU IT DECREASES THE SPEED FROM 68 MPH TO AN ABRUPT 57 MPH EVEN WHEN I HAVE 6 TO 7 CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN THIS OCCURS.I STOPPED USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF A CAR BEHIND ME WAS FOLLOWING TO CLOSE AND WOULD CRASH INTO MY REAR OF MY VEHICLE

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2019 CAMRY SE. WHEN I AM ON A COMPLETE STOP OR AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO OR UNDER 6 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO REGAIN SPEED, THE CAR TAKES A SECOND OR TWO TO RESPOND. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ON A COMPLETE STOP AND THERE IS A LOT OF INCOMING TRAFFIC.

MY 2019 CAMERY COMPLETELY STALLS AT TAKE OFF. YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND IT STALLS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO MY DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION AND THEY SAY THINGS ARE FINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR IN THE FREEWAY AND TRYING TO PASS OR MERGE. I HAVE DROVE PLENTY OF CARS AND NEVER HAD A ACCELERATION ISSUE. THIS DOES IT AT A FULL STOP IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET GOING ON THE TAKE OFF. THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE AS I HAVE READ UP ON IT AND LIVING PROOF MY CAR DOES IT AS WELL. I HAVE WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MINE AND THEY SAID THERE IS A ISSUE, BUT CAN'T WORK ON IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND NEEDS TO GO TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. WHICH I AGREED; HOWEVER THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS SAY IT'S FINE. THIS IS VERY AWFUL.

WHEN DECELERATING AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE STALLS AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH VEHICLE ACCELERATION PEDAL. ITS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN WHEN YOU SLOW AT INTERSECTIONS OR FOR A TURN AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT PAUSES AS IF THE ENGINE HAS DIED BUT ENGINE IS RUNNING, JUST NO RESPONSE WHEN YOU PUSH GAS PEDAL FOR ONE OR TWO SECONDS. ONE TIME WHILE TRYING TO PAS A SLOW TRUCK ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, PULLED OUT TO PASS AND THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLE JUST STALL AS IF ENGINE HAD STOPPED AND WAS LEFT IN ON COMING TRAFFIC WITH OUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS, VERY SCARY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN DECELERATING AND THEN TRYING TO ACCURATE. VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST IMPACTED REAR OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC BUT VEHICLE STALLED. BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST TEN OR MORE TIMES WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN MY WIFE'S VEHICLE.
