On Friday, 25 March, 2011 at about 4 pm, my wife experienced a sudden deceleration event on our 2010 Toyota Camry. She made a right turn & in about a half mile, the Camry suddenly slowed to less than 10 mph from about 40 mph. She pulled into the first parking lot to the right and shut off the Camry. She said no matter how much she pressed on the accelerator, the car was not responding to the accelerator. She said the check engine and the stability control lights were on. She tried restarting the car and drove a little in the parking lot, the 2 dash lights were on, but it was driving ok. She drove the car slowly approximately 5 more miles to our home. I arrived soon & I checked the codes with my diagnostic tool, and the ECU was showing an active P0121 (throttle/pedal position sensor a, circuit range performance). So we drove the car slowly to atlanta Toyota, 2345 pleasant hill road, duluth, ga 30096. During the drive to the dealership, the dash lights went off. I reported the code P0121 to the service rep, and the driving symptoms. The next day (Saturday, 26 March 2011) atlanta Toyota called me reporting that there were no codes in the ECU. I repeated the code that I had read. The rep stated they would check again. Again atlanta Toyota called me, stating no codes found, and they had test driven the car and could not replicate the problem. They did replace the accelerator pedal assembly. On the drive home from the dealership I noticed that the clock time had changed about 30 minutes, and all the radio presets were gone, as if the battery had been disconnected.I inquired and the dealership rep said the battery had not been touched.my concern is this Toyota may have reprogrammed my car due to the sudden deceleration issue, (hence the clock & radio changes), and they are not being forthcoming regarding repairs. All they will say is, there were no codes.

2010 Toyota Camry bought 2 months before recall news / 5,000 miles / had recall work done at a Toyota dealership on March 4, 2010 / on July 25, 2010 while in line at drive-through, I had my foot on the brake waiting my turn in line. Suddenly, the engine began to rev, even though I didn't have my foot on the accelerator but did have my foot on the brake. The back tires began spinning, and although I was mashing down on the brakes as hard as I could, the vehicle moved forward (producing skid marks) and hit the truck in front of me. My Camry pushed into the truck's trailer hitch, bending the rebar in the front of my car, which pushed up the radiator, etc. There was a witness who was standing next to the drive-in window because the restaurant had messed up his order. He reported to the officer that came to the scene that he heard the Camry's engine start revving, and when he looked to see why, he could see that I was trying to get the car to stop. Obviously, the Toyota Camry recall work is not effective. My granddaughter (who was in the car) and I could have been killed if this had happened at higher speed.

My wife drives a 2007 Toyota Solara and was pulling into a parking space in anastasia plaza in St. Augustine, fl and was about to come to a stop a place the car in park when it accelerated over the tire stop, over the curb and through the glass windows and doors and into the sea oats restaurant. She is confident that she never touched the accelerator as her foot was already on the brake to bring the car to a stop and place in park. There were no prior symptoms of this unexpected acceleration. The air bags did not deploy. The car smashed into the lunch counter, which weighs approx. 2 tons) and pushed it 6 feet. There were rubber marks on the floor on the left side as though the front wheel was slipping as it pushed the counter (picture available). My wife contends that her foot was on the brake the whole time. I contacted Toyota as well as my insurance company. Toyota did an inspection of the car on 6/7/2010. I am waiting on the results and expect to hear by 6/9/2010.

I bought a new 2010 Camry. I complained to the dealer the very next day that the accelerator pedal was too sensitive and the car was not drivable. I was assured that all accelerator pedal recall modifications were done on the car before the sale. I was still not satisfied. The manager of the shop and I did a test drive and after a detailed discussion of the accelerator pedal and design defects we jointly agreed to try and replace the pedal mechanism with one made - not by the us vendor - but by nippondenso -- Toyota's alternate vendor in Japan. To my great surprise the accelerator pedal was of a different design and feel. With the nippondenso pedal the foots position on the pedal is at a much more comfortable angle. But most important of all the response characteristics is a 100% better than the american made pedal. With the us made pedal the car had a "step" response whilst with the nippondenso pedal it has more of a "ramp" response. I was told by the dealer's shop manager that the nippondenso made pedal mechanism does not need the spacer or the floor mat modification either. I am surprised that two vendors making the same part for the same manufacturer to the same specifications and drawings have products that are so vastly different. The only thing common between the pedal mechanisms from the two vendors is its mounting on the floor board. Where is Toyota's quality control? in my opinion there is a strong co-relation between unintended acceleration complaints and the us made accelerator pedal design and its sharp "step" response. Let all those who have a complaint about the unintended acceleration insist on replacing the pedal mechanism made by nippondenso. NHTSA should look into the variations in the design from the two vendors and question as to why Toyota has permitted the vendors to design the mechanisms rather than just build it to Toyota's specifications.
