NHTSA just announced that they did no such thing, the investigation is still open.

The top lines are part of the antenna.

I see that - in my defense, there was an article on many sources earlier this week that said that the NHTSA closed the case, saying that they could find NO evidence that the car was at fault, only the floor mats being not secured or someone putting a floor mat on top of another.
 
The bottom line is still this - just use the hooks and use only one floor mat (a correctly-fitting one, like a Toyota mat made for your 2007 through 2010 Camry or a WeatherTech) and you will not have any problems. With the millions of these cars out there, a VERY few high-profile cases has everyone panicking. Of course, in some cases, certain people are hoping that Toyota is at fault. Based on the numbers, the chances of you having a "run-away" car IF you have used the mats properly is less than your chances of hitting the Powerball lottery! I am still betting that there is no problem other than people using the wrong mats or not securing the mats, like the directions tell you to.
 
I have a 2007 AND a 2010 - I am NOT concerned at all.

Yep, that's the case in a lot of vehicles. No pressing need to see out the top part of the rear window typically...Most viewing I'd think is done out the middle.

I'm not concerned either...
 
But the only DBW car I own also has a clutch.
 
Remember that majic tricks often work by getting you to look "elsewhere".
 
Toyota could be doing exactly that.

Both my Camrys also have clutches - but even if they were automatics, I would NOT be concerned at all. I'm just not into conspiracy theories.

True, the NHTSA still has the case open. In my defense, someone at Toyota screwed-up and said the wrong thing early last week.
 
BUT, the NHTSA said that there has been no evidence of unintentional acceleration ever found. The floor mats are the problem IF they are not secured with the hooks, or you put on on top of another, or use the wrong mat. They still have the case open, and Toyota is coming up with a fix to help the people who choose to not follow directions and/or use common sense with the floor mats.
 
Bottom line for all drivers of ANY cars: Use the hooks, use the correct mat, and use only one mat. Then, you will not have any problems.

A good, REALLY good, failsafe fix would be to KILL the EFI fuel feed any time the brakes are even lightly touched and the engine RPM remains even slightly above idle. That would combat any issue/question of the throttle being open or not.

They say the Camry is quiet as a tomb???? by koho955

I just test drove the 2010 V-6 XLE. All the write-ups on the car talk about how quiet it is. The engine is loud, the road noise is loud and I could hear all exterior noises as though I had the windows wide open. Next I drove a BASE 2010 Highlander on the same roads and was shocked at how much more quiet it was compared to the Camry. I will spend the extra cash for the Lexus ES 350!
Any opinions????
