Last Wed. It accellerated as she turned into her driveway. The brakes did not work! She went 395 feet before a cement bird bath, a bird house on a wooden post and a tree stopped her. Her car is totaled. She has some physical injuries and is afraid to drive now. A few months ago, her car did something similar---though with little damage. Of course, Toyota assured us that there was no problem with her car and that it was not on a recall list. My mother has been a loyal Toyota customer for years. Never again!

Once with my child in the car. There is nothing worse then telling your child it will be fine when you have no clue what the heck is going on with your car. I told toyota this a year ago and they told me theres nothing to worry about and your car has not been recalled. Now, that it is recalled and i advised the girl that makes appointments that my car has accelerated 2 times and i have a 7 year old and a baby the earliest she could get me in was 3 weeks from now. SERIOUSLY?? I am now driving my husbands truck and i do not want my car anymore and i have heard that people that have gotten the fix on their car are still having problems. I probably wont be able to get rid of it either now. Please count me in if there is a lawsuit. I need a reliable car for my children. I have a 2007 Toyota Camry and my car has accelerated 2 times.

I heard on the news 3 days later about the recall and called the dealership and wanted to return it. They were rude and disrespectful to me and wouldn't take the car back. On December 22, 2009, I was driving on a downhill road, and when I came to the stop light, I felt my driving pedal go down. I fiddled with it with my foot and it seemed to be okay, then when I turned left and went up another hill, on the downside of the hill, I felt it go down again and I looked down to see if there was anything I could do and when I came up, there was a car in front of me and I hit the driver's side just on his bumper and didn't hurt him or myself, thank God. I had enough sense about myself to miss him by steering the car gently to the left but skidded right into him. I am 64 years old and have never hit anyone. My car also is having a problem with a buzzing sound when I open the door sometimes, either entering or leaving the vehicle. I also am having problems with the light going on and off and flipping the switch by itself on the overhead. They have inspected it and tell me that they can't find anything wrong.....How can they say that when still don't know what they're looking for. I am fearful to drive it and have great anxiety when I have to go somewhere. My business and working have suffered as I don't want to take client's, family or friends with me in my "NEW" car.

Untill now I have always raved about the reliability that Toyota cars have given me. Now I am scared to drive my car just worring that something might go wrong with the aacceleration while I am driving it. I hate asking friends to ride in my car due to safety concerns. This is a horrible feeling and it is not fair to all the Toyota customers that are driving Toyota vehicles. Can I join a class action law suite even though I have not experienced a problem as of 03/11/10 I own a 2008 Camery Hybrid and it is my 6th Toyota car that I have bought through the years.

Can anyone tell me how I would go about doing this? I have a 2008 Toyota Camry and I am afraid to drive it. Prior to this car, I had a Lexus RX and had consistant problems with it lurching forward at a dead stop. Lexus of Glendale said there was no problem and it was a "feature" of a "smart car" that anticipates the driver's needs. How lame is that? Even more lame is the fact that I believed them.

I bought a used 2009 Camry with 20,000 miles already on it. They say that when the accelerator is worn, it is likely to surge. I have no mats and have had the recall "fix"; but I am still downright scared. Do I have any alternative? I am terrified! I bought a used 2009 Camry with 20,000 miles already on it.
