Got this from the toyotaownersclub.com forum;
"The driver of the Camry stated, he tried to shift the car from Park to Drive
but the Shifter got stuck on Reverse so he puts his foot of the brake then the car just accelerated backwards by itself on top of the patrol car..... He wasn't stepping on the gas and he was trying to stop and turn off the car the whole time...."

OMG! there are lots of these late model camrys here in the philippines should they be worried

aba. toyota naman ang nababash. hehe.

Well, let's hope that the local market is free of such defective units. Throttle, braking and steering problems are going to lead to accidents and injuries on our roads.

Pero andyan pa ang Innova D4D and gas tank problems!

Toyota considers Corolla recall over steering problems




Embattled Japanese carmaker Toyota is considering a recall for the Corolla, the world's best-selling car.
It said no decision had been made as it was still looking into complaints over the power-steering on the Corolla - which is not sold in the UK.
Toyota also denied any cover-up as the US investigates whether it was quick enough in recalling millions of cars over problems affecting other models.
The US car safety watchdog has ordered a probe into Toyota's recalls.
Toyota said it would "co-operate to provide all the information they have requested" on the US inquiry.
The carmaker said potential complaints with the Corolla in the US currently numbered less than 100.
The Corolla has not been sold in the UK since early 2007, when the Auris model took over.


New brake system
ANALYSIS

By Roland Buerk, BBC News, Tokyo
Just when Toyota's problems were dropping out of the headlines, in Japan at least, the company's recall crisis could be about to widen.
After recalls over accelerators sticking or getting snagged in floor mats, and brakes, the issue now may be with the power steering in the Corolla, the world's best-selling car.
That executives chose to mention the Corolla when they say they are not certain there is a problem with the car says a lot about the pressure Toyota is under in the United States.
There's a Congressional hearing in Washington on the accelerator issue next week and US officials are demanding documents to establish if Toyota organized recalls in a 'timely manner' after reports of cars speeding out of control.

In a wide-ranging press conference in Tokyo, Toyota president Akio Toyoda said that the carmaker would add a brake-override system to all new Toyota vehicles as it seeks to recover from a global car recall.
The new system will cut engine power when the accelerator and brakes are applied at the same time.
And Mr Toyoda denied that the firm had tried to cover up its problems. "We have not withheld information and we shall not do so in the future," he told reporters.
He also said that he would not be attending a US Congressional hearing into the recalls set for 24 February.
Instead, Toyota's US executives will go, as Mr Toyoda focuses on the firm's quality issues.
He also said it would create a new global quality committee. The newly-announced Special Committee for Global Quality will hold its first meeting on 30 March.


US investigation
On Wednesday, the carmaker took out full-page adverts in major Japanese newspapers to apologise for the recent recalls.

Q&A: Toyota recalls

Toyota is continuing to recall 8.5 million vehicles worldwide because of problems linked to faulty accelerator pedals, accelerator pedals getting stuck in floor mats, and braking systems.
The saga began in the US with reports that accelerator pedals were getting caught under the floor mats.
The Japanese car giant began taking back vehicles potentially affected by that problem in October last year and Toyota redesigned the mats.
The floor mat issue affected a number of vehicles in the US, but not in the UK.
Later, separate acceleration problems were found to be caused by the pedal sticking.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Tuesday that it wanted to find out if Toyota conducted the recent recalls "in a timely manner".
The NHTSA said it was "requiring Toyota to provide documents showing when and how it learned of the defects affecting approximately six million vehicles in the US alone".
It said federal law required all carmakers to notify it within five days of discovering a safety recall, and to conduct a recall promptly.
Responding to the NHTSA, Toyota said it took responsibility for vehicle safety seriously and also recognised its responsibility to alert government officials of any safety issue "in a timely manner".

Toyota announced on 26 January that was suspending sales and production of eight models in the US, as it sought to resolve its problems.

"The driver of the Camry tried to shift the car from Park to Drive before pulling out but the Shifter got stuck on Reverse so he puts his foot of the brake then the car just accelerated backwards by itself on top of the patrol car..... He wasn't stepping on the gas and he was trying to stop and turn off the car the whole time....(try listening at the end when the engine was revving all by itself). "

OMG! there are lots of these late model camrys here in the philippines should they be worried
