I have a 2008 highlander that has giving me problems with acceleration,
and if would not hit the brake and emergency brake i would not be here.
I’m trying to sell the SUV and because of the recall dealers don’t want to give the value it had before the recall.

We own 2 Toyotas. One is a 2006 Corolla Sport. The other is a 2008 Camry XLE that is listed for a recall on the acceleration pedal, waiting for letter from Toyota to get fixed. We received a recall letter on the floor mats stating “We will notify you again as soon as a campaign remedy is available for your vehicle”.
We have been reading that class action lawsuits are going to be filed in March for vehicle depreciation because of the acceleration recall. Just wondering if this lawsuit will pertain to everyone that gets a recall letter or do we need to contact someone to get our name on the list for the class action lawsuit?

My husband and I traded in our Honda Pilot for two Toyotas. One is a Camery 09 and the other is 09 Matrix. Both cars have given us trouble since we purchased them. When I take the cars in during my husbands deployment Toyota has not given me a loaner car for the inconvience. I think that is rediculous. It’s like they are not even standing behind the product in doing that. The dash board is another is with the Matrix it was completely assembled at the factory. One of the major parts of my AC unit was found in the floor board of the passenger side of the car. I took the Matrix in and they said that a certificate had been put out that they needed to be fixed. They added foam. Then the they called to tell me that they need the car another day or so because they were waiting on pins.
I am terrified to drive the car. My husband is not here to pick up the pieces if something happens to me while he is deployed. The deprication on the car is also rediculous. The cars aren’t worth anything and I has messed up my family because we are seeking orders to Germany and you can only take one car and we aren’t going to be able to even get out the second car that I need for school. Something needs to be done to fix this with customers everywhere. Toyota says they want the trust back well then they need to take all of their owners out of the negative with their cars.
My husband when he was in country flipped his mats upside down in the 09 Camery because they kept getting stuck while he was driving.

I had a 2000 Tacoma that had the driveshaft break and caused thousands of dollars of damage. I can’t help but wonder if it is related to this or not. Needless to say, I just drove my 1997 ford explorer that had 249k miles until I bought a new ford fusion.

floor mats?gas pedal? can’t remove oil filter housing cover without breaking it? what else? now i’m paying for a 2009 xle, that my wife and i are afraid to drive. For me, i want them to buy this car back, for what i paid for it. they al;so lied to me, when they said the resale value was there compared to american cars. bologna!what else will or have they lied about?

We bought a brand new Tundra in Nov. 2007.
With in a month the stuck pedal happened to us. We were passing two cars..when my husband said the pedal stuck…by then we were going at least 60 mph. A hairpin turn was right in front of us…we went off the road..but he got it staighten out.
We called Toyota and told them what had happened, they said “oh it’s the mat’s fault. My husband told them no it wasn’t.. the pedal was stuck.
We were just told to change the mat. Got the letter about that. We changed the mat. Now we hear it was the pedal after all.

I still haven’t got a notice..called them two more times. Same thing. .
Too bad my hubby passed away on Christmas..he would have said I TOLD YOU SO!!!

We bought a 2010 Toyota Corolla and two weeks later they suspend sales, stop production and issue a recall.

You can imagine we are not too happy. Makes you wonder if they knew of the problems when they sold us ours doesn’t it?

Now my wife is afraid to drive the car.

We would return it and give the keys to the PROFESSIONAL LIARS at FRANK SMITH TOYOTA in Pharr,Tx.,the dealer where we bought it, if it wouldnt ruin our credit.

The value/trade-in/resale value is screwed and so are we.

We have a brand new car, which, at this time anyway, is basically worthless.

Thanks Toyota.

I just purchased a 2010 Toyota Tundra Crewmax Limited 4×4 in Dec 2009, the gas pedal sticks and jumps taking off. Toyota never did officially notify me of the recall. I did take to a Toyota Dealer last week who said my Vin was one for the recall.
They did the recall to the pedal and the truck still continues to have issues. I just traded the Tundra on Feb 19 2010 with only 1,978 miles taking a $9000.00 loss to protect my family and anyone else that might get hurt if was to continue to drive it this way. I paid like $45,500 and got $36,000 for a trade in on a Ford. Is their anyway a class action suit can help all of us?

Thats what you all get for not buying American. Foreign Crap

I was provided with a 2009 Camry in which the gas pedal stuck, the car accellerated and I ended up rear-ending another vehicle due to the malfunction…..Toyota sux!

I purchased a 2009 Camry and had it less than a year before I had issues with the pedal. I was driving home with my son in Oct. 2009 and had to hit the brake when a deer ran out; it didn’t stop, it accelerated and flew off the road. The car was totaled. Luckily I had GAP, but it still cost me $3700 out of pocket.

I leased 2 Toyotayota’s in May 0f 2009; a Toyota Camry for myself and a Corolla for my daughter. We love our cars, i have been a Toyota fan since the ’80’s.
Our cars were not exhibiting any problems, and like the previous commentor, I suspected that people were just jumping on the band wagon for the money….until this morning! My husband took my car into work and since today was my daughter’s first day of Spring break, I decided to use her car to make a quick run. Well, when I was coming back from my chore, I was approaching a stop sign. When I applied my brakes the car accelerated to the speed which I was travelling before I applied my brakes, and would not stop for a couple of yards. I was stunned momentarily, and forgot to do what the literature sent by Toyota said to do…which was to put the car in neutral. I continued to slam on my tely.brakes and eventually it stopped. I was fortunate that there was no traffic.
I called the Toyota dealership where the Lease was made and they
referred me to Toyota Corporate who gave me a file number which allowed be to get service immediately.
Did I fail to mention that one week ago I had the RECALL COMPLETED on both cars! This occurred after the initial RECALL was done! I had no problems before the car was fixed per recall. Nonetheless, I now am seeking others in my predicament; Possibly we can make a difference as a group. But I most certainly will be a part of a “Class Action Suit”! If it happens to you then you will understand.

I also would like to know how to join this lawsuit. My Toyota Camry XLE is worth a good 10% less than it was before the recall.

My 2007 Camry SE lurches forward from stop…it does this randomly and unpredictably. It is not hard to control it when it lurches because it only happens for at most 5 to 10 feet in the direction I wish to go anyway. I have another issue too. For split seconds the steering wheel seems to float unsynchronized from the wheels. What I mean is that you lose the ability to steer. Again this is just for split mirco seconds and randomly. It makes you stay on your toes when driving this car. Once I drifted into the other lane before the steering wheel synched again and I could steer it straight. It felt like driving on ice. OK the road was warm and dry concrete highway…some would need to ask me that. Has anyone else had this problem?
I really need to know if anyone else feels this when they drive their Toyota. Also I do not want any money from Toyota. I don’t want to be a part of any lawsuit. I just want to give them their car back and go get another car from some other company. Last thing… What is the chance that Toyota secretly programmed these “gremlins” into their cars to increase the amount of dealer service calls we would all have to make?

The dealer said I could return the car for the fair market value and that this would leave me oweing them for whatever was the difference between that and what I owe. That’s kind of like a scam if I ever heard one.

I been a Toyota owner since 1994 and now drive a 2007 Camry.
With all the problems with Toyota getting into my Camry is nerve racking
and I cannot afffor to trade it and get another vehilce. This has caused
me to have sleepless nights, a lot of anxiety, stressed out and everyday
when I leave to go to work and to come home I am scared for my life.
I am besides myself with all the accidents I see on the televison and I
read in the papers and Toyota does not know what is causing all thes
incidents.I am surprised and disappointed with the way Toyota is
handing all the recalls and problems.

My wife and I have noticed inconsistency in initial acceleration from the time we bought our 2010 Camry LE. Sometimes it is gradual and smooth as it should be. More often, it does not kick in right away, then it suddenly accelerates quickly, throwing both of us back against our seats. The problem is particularly bothersome when pulling out into traffic since you never know how the acceleration is going to respond at any given time. Even though we will be losing a considerable amount of money, we will be trading in the new Camry with only about 3,500 miles on it for either a Honda or a Maxda this weekend. We do not like riding a timebomb.

I have a 2007 XLE Toyota Camry and I have had problems with it since purchase. It has left me stranded thousand’s of times. It will crank then die after two seconds; It has died while driving down the highway and unable to crank; it literally almost called us to be in a head on collision but the other vehicle went off the road. Service Department has come to get me and said that the problem could not be diagnosed. However, as of today Toyota has had my car for a week and still doesn’t know why it has been doing this! I turn on the A/C and my cd’s come out! I got my recall notice! It is there and not fixed! The dealership won’t talk to me in the last 3 days so I have no idea when I will get my car back! VERY FRUSTRATED! They can try to fix a part but they can’t restore a lost life!

I asked them if they could not fix the problems to trade me out, however, there is no retail value so they want 10,000.00 down and you can be drive out happy! YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!!! No value in their vehicles or customer service!!

I bought a 2009 Avalalon Limited last year new. Does Anyone know if this class action suit will benifit all of us and if not how do we get in on it?

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry. The gas pedal work has been done, but I am still nervous when I drive this vehicle. I am responsible for taking my 5 yr old child to school, as well as visit my elderly grandmother which is on life support in the ICU unit at the hospital. I would like to be part of the class action lawsuit because I feel that us Toyota owners were lied to. I would like to return this vehicle and receive a vehicle that I feel comfortable, and safe in. Please explain to me how I can become part of the class action lawsuit.

I have a 08 Toyota Tacoma and the gas petal sticks half way? And yes I removed the mat from the driver side I would like to know why it has not been recalled for the gas petal problem.

My Toyota Prius has depreciated in value due to the problems of others.
Also, I am now apprehensive about driving for fear of the said problems

We purchased our 2010 Rav4 on October 6th, 2009, in central, Florida, AFTER the “mat recall”, thinking the problems surely must be consumer oriented.

NOW it seems, previous and more recent claims and newspaper articles of brake and possible electronic acceleration related concerns, were suppressed while Toyota continued to sell effected automobiles, including our purchase.

What must we do now to regain our confidence, lost trade-in value, and even rid ourselves of this unreliable transportation, five months old with only 3000 miles? (Toasters, lawn mowers, or other recalled defective purchases deserve and are returned for refund, why not a Toyota?)

I just bought a 2008 Avalon. I am very concerned about the safety of my family. I tried to trade it in within 60 days of purchasing and it’s like the bottom fell out of the value. I am extremely dissappointed in Toyota, all I want is for toyota to buy back this car at what I owe on it.

I purchased my 2009 Camry in July of 2008. I thought that it was great that I was 30 years old, married and just gave birth to my first child. I actually purchased the car so that I would have a safe vehicle to transport my family in. I am terrified to drive my car; not only for the harm it could cause me but especially the harm that it could cause to my now 23 month-old daughter. I have had some peculiar instances of hesitation when accelerating. I press the gas pedal and the car does not seem to want to go and then all of the sudden the car takes off like a maniac is behind the wheel and I barely have my foot on the gas pedal. I have had both recall issues addressed with my car at the local dealership but I am still terrified of my car. I can’t afford to trade my vehicle in because it is financed and with the value so depreciated, I will end up having to roll my trade-in loss into another loan with a new car. I have owned 4 Toyota’s in my short life and thought that I was buying the best. The funniest part about all of this… I received a letter from my local dealership trying to do a little damage control. The letter stated that I was a valued customer and that they were going to be offering their valued customer’s some great incentive’s very soon. I found out what those great incentives were… 0% financing on new vehicle purchases. That was not what I wanted to hear. What about the people who own newer vechicles and cannot trade them in because we all know that a newer vehicle losses thousands of dollars in value the moment you drive it off the lot and not to mention the depreciated value that has come about because of this whole acceleration mess. Even Kelly Blue Book just reduced the trade-in values of most Toyota’s by at least 3.5%. I want to be a part of a class action lawsuit, but do not know what I need to do to get involved. I have an 09 Camry that I cannot afford to trade-in and cannot afford to drive because for me, you cannot put a price on life.

We purchased a 2008 Avalon which iis useless to us, safety is a very big concern. The recall repairs have been completed,: however, I do not feel confident and at peace driving the car, there are just too many uncertainies of what was once considered to be among the most reliable vehicles. Toyota should indeed buy back the vehicles and accept whatever monetary loss as a result of this problem, which is far less costly than assuming responsibility for the injury or worse yet death of another person.
