2022 Toyota Camry Cruise Control Problems

Your 2022 Camry experienced sudden, uncontrollable rapid acceleration on three separate occasions — at a car wash, while lane changing, and again at a car wash — despite only lightly pressing the accelerator pedal. The third incident resulted in a crash into a pole at 45 mph, totaling the vehicle and sending occupants to the emergency room. Toyota's dealer inspection found no mechanical or electronic issues and suggested the cruise control may have been accidentally engaged, but the problem recurred even after this warning. The root cause of these acceleration events may require deeper diagnostics of the throttle control system, fuel injection system, or electronic engine control module.

The carpet around your driver's side floor mats is coming loose because it was cut too short during manufacturing. If the carpet continues to deteriorate, it could potentially interfere with your accelerator or brake pedals, which might cause unintended acceleration or braking. Your dealership has documented the issue with video. The fix will likely involve replacing or properly securing the carpet and floor mat assembly.

Your engine occasionally revs up when you're braking, most notably when braking at a stop sign. Even though your foot is only on the brake pedal and not touching the accelerator, your car's system displays a warning that both pedals are being pressed simultaneously, forcing you to brake harder to stop. This has happened multiple times, including while parking, and your dealer has been unable to resolve the issue despite several service visits.
