 Description of the problemMy 2004 toyota camry le had rapidly accelerated on its own shortly after placing gear selector in park. I was slowly backing up my camry le on an incline. I had my left foot on the brake and lightly touched the gas pedal with my right foot. (n. B. I used both feet, because on two occasions while backing up with my body turned, my right foot twisted and got caught between the accelerator and brake pedals--which are the same height.) i barely got a few feet before i heard an odd noise--a sound that i can neither remember or describe --since i have no frame of reference for this sound. I believe the car was vibrating when this sound occurred. I put my right foot on the brake and moved the gear selector to the park position. Within about 3 seconds the engine raced so high--as if the car was traveling 120 miles +. I have never heard an engine accelerate as rapidly and as high as this. It was as if rocket fuel was suddenly added to the fuel line. If this vehicle was in drive, i would have been unable to stop. My relative is proficient in both computers and cars. He suggested that there could be several reasons for this problem including corrosion on computer parts, ic chips not seated properly, problems with the wiring harness, and the last suggestion, that the ecm (car computer) gave the wrong command to open up the throttle body, which caused the engine to race. After i turned the engine off and back on, the car worked normal--my relative said that the ecm could have reset itself. Even if toyota could claim that the problem is in the gas pedal, its important to know that there is a sensor by gas pedal (wires attached) which i understand would tell the ecm where its [pedal] position is. Since there is no mechanical linkage (cable) that connects to the throttle body--the accelerator would have to be controlled electronically.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

    Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
