| Description of the problem | 2007 toyota camry, from time we purchased car it would accelerate to high rate of speed when trying to speed up, ie; getting on freeway, passing and most especially when cruise control was in use, (same as steve wosnieck, apple computer is reporting). I addressed this with dealer almost every time i had car serviced, they said it was due to computer. Said computer takes 30 sec. Or so to catch up and that caused the "lurch" or increased speed. On recent trip, car went as fast as 85mph (from 60) when i finally applied brake and turned off cruise control. There was no floor mat in car, no problem with pedal. Also had problem with cruise control, would not hold speed on down-hill drive. Dealer said it was not designed to work on down hill. This happened on even minor down grades, would just take off! On 1/27/10 i went to dealer and purchased what they said was a "safe" no issue 2010 camry. They said this one had the safe "pedal". Now i am hearing issues that it is with the computer! I feel skunked! I had my car almost paid off and now am back in debt for another 5 years! Not happy. This problem was on-going from the time we bought the 2007, last incident was date below on way home from vegas. I do feel lucky and thankful that so far i am alive to report this! |
