Car accelarted without stepping on gas pedal on its own in a parking lot, took repetitive and forceful pressure on the brake to control car from continuing into a wall. Mechanic (not dealer) tested and problem didn't appear. When driving car into home home parking spot, backing up to position place, the car accelerated on it own again and stopped only with forceful brake pressure.

Toyota needs to be held responsible 4 the unexpected acceleration of these vehicles. Make them test it under 32 degrees and the rpms will almost always increase and decrease abruptly though giving gas at a steady pace. It's happened every year every winter since I bought the car new. The pedal fix/recall was a slap in the face to those of us who suspect it is an engine or electrical issue. It must be tested in cold cold weather and upon the car just starting to run. It does seem to subside as the engine warms but on the next cold day the car tries to accelerate itself again

While driving to work my car started doing 50 mph without my foot on any pedal. I had to ride the brake to keep it within the speed limit of 20 in the school zone and then 35 on the road. When I arrived at a red light the car tried to move forward even with the brake pressed all the way down. I put the car in neutral and the engine started revving. I turned the car off and back on and still had the same revving and pulling. I pulled off the road and put it in park and the car kept revving. I turned it off and kept it off for several minutes, when I turned it back on I still had the same issue. I carefully drove the car back home (about a mile total trip) riding the brake the whole time to keep the car from getting away from me. No mat was near the pedals, I tried moving to a lower gear, I made sure all cruise controls were off, nothing helped. It was the most terrifying experience I have ever had while driving!

My Toyota Camry ce has a problem with dash board. All gauges goes up and down. I have video. I took it to mechanic and base on the scanner everything checks out fine. No code indicator. There are many forums about this same problem people are encountering. This problem must be a recall. It does it while I'm driving.

My 2007 Toyota Camry lr ABS system is not working, I read numerous complaints (over 197 complaints with this problem on 2007 Camry le's) to your site with same problem: Warning lights, speedometer needle at "0", etc. Cost to replace ABS system over $2,500. Someone said the ABS was only to prevent skids and even though speedometer is not showing speed, that no other problem such as sudden stop, or brake failure, etc would happen, complaints on your site show that other problems, can result, what can we do? my car mileage is 79,899. This is a continuing problem started approx. August 2017 - -

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry that has intermittent instrument cluster problems. Odometer does not increment miles traveled. The speedometer and tachometer will cease to indicate proper readings and drop to zero. The tachometer will then bounce between zero and what I can only assume is a close approximation of the actual engine RPM. At the same time, the ABS and parking brake warning lights illuminate and stay on for the duration of the "episode".

Basically the ABS actuator it's failing like in the hybrid model but are not covered by the Toyota extended warranty which is completely unfair as the part failing it's the same basic ABS part but on different non-electric variant

My brake and ABS lights come on intermittent. When the two lights come on the speedometer stops working and it's difficult to brake. My local Toyota dealership stated that my ABS actuator/ABS module is going out. This is the same year, make, and model of cars that people lost there lives due to brake issue. Toyota refuses to acknowledge and repair this issue.

Made a 90 degree turn to park car, car rapidly accelerated and crashed into a wall within 25 feet of turning causing auto body damage. Data recorder report pulled from third party shows last five seconds before impact and recorded within.3 milliseconds rpb went from 400 to 2000 and speed went from 3.7 mph to 9.9 mph. Toyota wrote back and said nothing was wrong with car. If you review crash site and distance car turned to the building, it is impossible to accelerate that quickly in that short of distance. Vehicle was in motion on a city street turning into a private parking lot.
