2000 Toyota Camry

I OWN A 2000 CAMRY (LE) WHICH I PURCHASED NEW FROM FAIRFAX TOYOTA IN FAIRFAX VA IN NOVEMBER OF 1999, AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY ACCELERATING STICKING, WHEN I PUSH ON IT. I IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CABLE. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR MY REPAIR BILL WHERE I PAID FOR THE CABLE REPLACEMENT. MY BRAKE CONTINUES TO STICK WHEN I PRESS ON IT. *TR

2000 TOYOTA CANRY XLE, PURCHASED FROM NEW ROCHELLE TOYOTA, NEW ROCHELLE , NY AS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WITH 40K MILES ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE COURSE OF 5 YEARS BEGINNING IN 2005 -- I HAVE EXPERIENCED ACCELLERATOR REVVING OR STICKING, AND SOMETIMES BOTH TOGETHER. SOMETIMES JUST KICKING IT STOPPED IT, ANOTHER TIME I HAD TO THROW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND PULL UP THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT UNDER IT, ANOTHER TIME I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT EASED UP. EACH TIME I PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTRATED AND IT DIDNLT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR QUITE SOME TIME. MENTIONED IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY MORE OR LESS BLAMED ME. TOLD MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO AT LEAST CHECKED THE BRAKES AND SNESORS, BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SERVICE WARNING. NO REPAIR WAS EVER DONE.

1. SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY IN NOV. 2009. WHEN IT WAS IN DE-ACCELERATION AFTER TAKING AN EXIT IN EWING NJ, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED LIKE A WILD HORSE, I TOTALLY LOST CONTROL AND THE CAR CROSSED A RED LIGHT, FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO COLLISION OCCURED AND THE CAR WAS UNDER CONTROL FINALLY. 2. ACCELERATION PEDAL STICKING: SOMETIME WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED, IT DOES NOT MOVE, A BIG FORCE NEEDS TO BE APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL IN ORDER TO MOVE THE PEDAL AND START ACCELERATION. IT USUALLY CAUSE OVER SHOOTING. *CN

I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT IS NOT IN THE RECALL BUT IT SHOULD BE. THE GAS PEDAL STICKS AND HAS FOR YEARS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS BUT THEY WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL. TOYOTA MAY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER THAT THE VIN NUMBER ON MY CAR IS NOT ONE OF THE CURRENT RECALLS SO THEY WILL NOT PAY TO FIX IT. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITHIN CITY LIMITS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH. I REALIZED THE VEHICLE I WAS APPROACHING HAD SLOWED DOWN OR HAD STOPPED DUE TO MERGING TRAFFIC. I HAD MORE THAN THE NECESSARY AMOUNT OF CLEARANCE AHEAD. I APPLIED BRAKES. HOWEVER, BRAKES DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE BY ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT -- IT APPEARED AS IF THE ENGINE WAS CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN ITS SPEED. I CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. THE VEHICLE I CRASHED INTO VEERED TO THE RIGHT. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED FORWARD AND THEN CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT. AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH, THE GEAR SELECTOR MOVED INTO N, WHICH IS THE REASON I THINK THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED. I HAVE THE CRASH REPORT DOCUMENTING THIS. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME SUCH AN INCIDENT HAD HAPPENED AFTER I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM AN INDIVIDUAL. THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE CARRIER. *TR

GAS PEDAL STICKS WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY BUT MORE OFTEN HAPPENS AFTER COMING TO A QUICK STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE GAS PEDAL STICKS FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO AND AFTER APPLYING MORE PRESSURE IT FINALLY ENGAGES AND STARTS TO ACCELERATE. NOTE THAT I HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE WHERE THE GAS PEDAL STICKS IN THE DEPRESSED POSITION. *TR

I WENT TO MY MECHANIC TWO YEARS AGO TO REPORT THAT MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2000 HAD AN ACCELERATOR STICKING PROBLEM. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, ASSUMED IT WAS THE MAT, OR MY IMAGINATION. IT WASN'T. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS BUT TOYOTA IS ONLY COVERING THE LAST 7 YEARS, IS THIS BECAUSE OF WARRANTY? WHAT CAN I DO? CAR IS OTHERWISE FINE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY LIMITED EDITION. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES ON HER LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SPINNING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ENGINE REVVED LOUDLY AND AS SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. WHILE IN THE DITCH, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO IDLE AND THE TIRES BURROWED INTO THE DITCH AS IT ATTEMPTED TO PROGRESS. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER HEAD, SHOULDERS, UPPER BACK, HANDS, FINGERS, KNEES AND NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR HER YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE.
