Sudden Acceleration

• Toyota recalled the 2007-2010 Camry because the accelerator pedal may stick and cause the traction control system to engage suddenly. Edmunds reported that the friction lever interacts with the gas pedal, creating more friction between the two components. The gas pedal becomes hard to depress or even gets stuck, causing the Camry to suddenly accelerate and the trac system to engage attempting to stop the vehicle. The sudden acceleration and stopping creates an accident situation.
  
  

Brake Problem

• The 2010 Camry has also been recalled because the back rear brakes may affect the trac control system operation as well as the brake system. The power steering pressure hose has a gap between the crimp on the hose and the brake tube causing brake tube to interfere with the crimp. The interference causes the crimp to prematurely wear or perforate creating a brake fluid leak. The loss of brake fluid prevents the trac control system from operating properly when driving on slippery roads. Once the Camry begins to slip, the trac system engages, but the leaking brake fluid prevents the brakes from engaging properly.
  
  

Warning Light

• The Camry trac control system light was illuminating when the system engages. Carcomplaints.com has several technical service bulletins sent from the manufacturer to the authorized. Toyota maintenance departments describing a problem with the waring light. Some owner's complain that the trac control light illuminates under normal driving conditions or without notice. At times, the light indicates that the trac system is engaging unnecessarily; other times the warning light illuminates and the trac control is not even engaging. The technical service bulletin indicates that the problem occurs primarily in sub-freezing weather conditions or when the Camry is being shifted from park to drive.
  
  

Floor Mat

• The 2005 to 2010 models of the Toyota Camry have been recalled because of the floor mat creating sudden acceleration and engaging the traction control system unnecessarily. Reports from Edmunds and CarComplaints detail the floor mat problems, and once the traction control system engages the operator of the Camry can lose control of the vehicle. The loss of control is due to the floor mat causing the gas pedal to become stuck, which results in the vehicle continuing to accelerate. The trac control system engages because of the sudden acceleration but does not prevent the vehicle from accelerating or losing steering control. Several accidents have been reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration concerning this problem.
