2014 Toyota Camry fuel/propulsion system problems

“My car pulls back as I'm driving and or breaking. Specially when im in the freeway passing 40 miles per hour. Have take. It to get check but they tell me it's a computer glitch between engine and system. I'm concern it may cause a problem on the road.”

“The basic issue is unintended acceleration. I reported this issue four (4) separate times to the local Toyota dealer in my area: 1/20/2020 - 5/2/2020 - 9/28/2020 and most recently on 6/13/2022. The most recent incident resulted in an accident whereby I backed into a building while parking and caused more than $5,000 damage. All incidents were reported to and investigated by two (2) different Toyota dealers in my area: Simi Valley, CA and Thousand Oaks, CA. The investigation resulted in no findings and to this point in time, fortunately, no one was a hurt nor was there another vehicle involved - yet. Just a few days ago - 10/31/22 - my wife and I were in this same vehicle running errands when this happened again. While coming to a stop at an intersection, the accelerator raced while I had my foot on the brake. It was only because I reacted as quickly as I did that we did not become involved in an accident. I was able to quickly shift the vehicle into neutral until the engine revving subsided after several seconds. Had I not, both my wife and I would have certainly been injured or worse by cross traffic. This issue cannot be predicted and the analysis that has…”

“Unintended accelerator: The latest occurrence of this issue has resulted in the 4th time I have reported it to the dealer and taken it in for investigation of the issue. Three (3) times in 2020 [January, May and September] I took the vehicle to the Toyota dealer in Simi Valley California and each time they advised that they found nothing. I stressed to them that I was concerned about the possibility of having an accident and that I would not allow anyone else but me to operate the vehicle. Overall, this event has occurred about 6-7 times. Normally, I'm in the vehicle alone but in April of 2022, I had my wife and grandson in the car when it happened again. As before, I was able to to put the car into neutral and hit the brake until the issue had passed. It happens so sporadically and unexpectedly that I cannot anticipate it. Of course, even if I take it to the dealer, they are unable to replicate it. Until this most recent event, I have been fortunate enough to react by sliding the transmission into neutral and applying the brake to avoid a collision until the accelerator slows down enough to slip the transmission back into drive and move on. Most recently, on…”

“I HAVE EXPERIENCED A HESITATION ON MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS DOWN SHIFTING - IT ISN'T. MY CAR HESITATES FROM A COMPLETE STOP, OR WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING (MERGING ONTO A HWY OR TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE). THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. VERY DANGEROUS!”

“WE PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED 2014.5 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM BAXTER TOYOTA IN APRIL 2014. THE ENGINE HAS ALWAYS RUN A BIT ROUGH AND WE HAD IT CHECKED BY BAXTERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND WERE TOLD THAT "THAT WAS NORMAL FOR THAT PARTICULAR YEAR, HOWEVER, WITH THE 2020 RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE IT SOUNDS LIKE WE MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND WOULD APPRECIATE IF WE COULD AT LEAST HAVE OUR FUEL PUMP CHECK OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL.”
