After performing a gas pedal reoperation on a 2009 Toyota Camry there was a constant clicking noise and a feeling detent when pressing on the accelerator after a stop. The dealer agreed with the problem and replaced the gas pedal with a new one. The new pedal is a improvement but the clicking is still coming from, I believe, the spring inside the accelerator pedal housing. The dealer said he could not do anything more. I personally removed the pedal and filled the spring cavity full with very thick lubrication grease. The noise is now about 50%gone, sometimes for a day or two but still returns eventually when I slightly press on the pedal from a stop. The spring I think has too much room to move around or is not remaining seated. This is a very annoying nuisance problem hearing this clicking that did not exist when I had the old style gas pedal.

I was pulling into a restaurant parking lot and had found a handicapped space for my wife. The car was slowly inching forward with my foot on the brake controlling its forward motion. Suddenly it lurched forward, over a curb and into a handicap sign support pole, which in turn bent forward and knocked a cast stone statue against a painted panel attached to the restaurant wall. I was pushing down on the brake the entire time.

On 1/27/10, my husband was driving the car. He slowed down because the road was rough & had curves ahead. When he took the foot off the gas pedal we accelerated forward instead of slowing down. No one was injured just surprised. It went to the dealership that week for testing. The recall was done 2/15/10. On 2/18/10 the car accelerated again. This time I was driving the car. I was going towards a 4 way intersection, I let off the gas thinking it was going to slow down, instead it went faster. The recall did not fix the problem. The car went back to the dealership but nothing was found wrong. It meet all of Toyota's testing. The problem is still there, they did not know how to fix it.

Gas pedal stuck while on interstate highway I-75, traveling at 60mph. When I stepped down on the accelerator in order to pass another vehicle the accelerator pedal stuck down. The vehicle began to accelerate even after I removed my foot from the pedal. I was then able to free the pedal by wedging my foot underneath the pedal and pushing up on the pedal. This has happened after my vehicle as recalled for unintended acceleration and the safety recall repair was completed on 2/11/10.

I purchased my 2009 Toyota Camry in Jun 2009(used) with about 6000 miles. After the first week the clip from the carpet snapped out, and I took it to Toyota for the first carpet recall, then I took it to Toyota for the sudden acceleration recall with the gas pedal, this Friday I am returning it, for the sudden acceleration due to some electrical issue that Toyota is unsure of. I've been paying car notes and have not been able to try my car, for fear of sudden acceleration not due to myself.

I was pulling into a parking spot at a high school. I backed up and then put the car in drive, and it took off on me (sudden acceleration) with my tires squealing hitting the car in front of me and knocking that car out of park. That car rolled across the parking lot and went through a fence, and came within inches of hitting the school.

While stopped at a traffic light, the engine of my 2009 Toyota Camry raced uncontrollably. While keeping the car braked, I shifted first to neutral and then to park, during which time the engine simply continued to accelerate further. Once in park, I turned off the ignition and everything shut off. After this, I was able to get the car to the dealer (champion Toyota, philadelphia, pa), which performed the recall repairs (gas pedal and computer reprogram) immediately.

My 2009 Toyota Camry. Until today, I thought this might be a big hoax, but it happened today at 2:55 pm on my way to work. My car accelerated without warning. I fortunately was only traveling on a side road for a brief moment and was able to hit the brakes and shift into neutral and then stop the car. About 2 weeks ago I had the "recall" correction completed. Never had an issue prior to this "correction".

On Wednesday March 17, 2010 I took my 2009 Toyota Camry to my local Toyota dealership in chester, va to have my vehicle serviced due to the recent recall issue. This morning while driving to work I noticed that when I let off the gas pedal, my car accelerates just a bit and/or sticks just for a few moments and then decelerates. The vehicle was doing this prior to the service, and is still doing this after the vehicle maintenance was completed yesterday. I feel that whatever "fix" Toyota is performing on the recalled vehicles is not working. I feel it is not a mechanical issue, I feel it is an electronic issue. I have read that others are having the same issue with the "fix" Toyota is issuing for their vehicles. I am at a loss of what to do since Toyota doesn't seem to have a reliable "fix" for the recalled vehicles yet. I don't know what this information will accomplish, but I just wanted to put it out there just in case it is helpful. Thanks, concerned Toyota customer.

I own a 2009 Toyota Camry hybrid purchased new 4/3/2008. At the end of March, 2009, I had the first of four (thus far) accelerator runaway events. I was able to stop the car by applying extremely hard brake pressure with both feet, taking several seconds to stop the car as it fish-tailed wildly on the road. A couple of days later, it happened again. My car was at the dealership 4/3/2009. They told me this accelerator runaway was caused by my floor mat causing the gas pedal to stick. I removed the floor mat. Approximately 6 weeks later, the accelerator runaway event happened twice more. The floor mat was not in the car. I have called Toyota, been treated like I was delusional and then as the public outcry/press releases began later in 2009, contacted Toyota again. I finally got my scheduled recall (at my persistance--the dealerships never called me to schedule this) then after I requested details of the planned recall changes, I found out after my appointment they said my vehicle qualified only for them to cut down my gas pedal. No shim assembly to the gas pedal and no software update as I was told "you already have the most current software". really?! my now mutilated gas pedal allows my foot to constantly slip off of it while driving as it is so small. I am scared of my vehicle as there was never a warning pre-accelerator runaway & there is no "fix" either. Not that I would trust Toyota at this point. I have copies of all service tickets, including the 4/3/2009 ticket with my complaint of the gas pedal sticking" written on it. This is available to you as well as a detailed four page letter outlining every step of my events. I sent an email & rec'd a response from you, titled notification of case change/case escalation, case no. [xxx]. I called in & spoke with a representative and he gave me a case no. Too. Telephone call case #[xxx]. please advise my next step. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Let me please informed you that I've already performed all the recall issues that iwas told involved my vehicle immediately at this point I don't know what to do please help me I've often experience a lost of power with my vehicle when I enter the interstate although I depressed the acceleration to catch up with current traffic the vehicle does not responded sometimes it felt like it shot off. After reporting it to my dealer during a routine scheduled visit I was told the problem was with the software and that there was an update one available was install to cure the problem.
