2009 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

ON MARCH 9, 2010 I TOOK MY 09 TOYOTA CAMRY IN FOR THE FLOORMAT RECALL AND TO HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL LOOKED AT FOR AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL SLOWS DOWN IT WILL KICK INTO ABOUT 5,000 RPM'S FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND PUT ME AT LEAST 10 MPH OVER THE SPEED I SET IT TO. (WHICH IS USUALLY WHEN I TURN IT OFF!!!) WHEN I PICKED MY CAR UP AT THE END OF THE DAY I NOTICED THAT MY GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN SHAVED OFF AT THE BOTTOM MAKING IT VERY SHORT AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH PLUS MY FLOOR MATS HAD NOT BEEN MODIFIED AS I WAS TOLD THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED BUT TO BRING MY CAR BACK IF I HAVE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT IT IS 'NORMAL' FOR TOYOTA CARS TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON (AT 5,000 RPMS??? REALLY???)AND THAT A 5-8 MPH DIFFERENCE IN THE SPEED YOU SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AT IS ALSO 'NORMAL'. I JUST LOOKED UP THE KBB ON MY CAR AND THINK I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF IT WITHOUT A LOSS. I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING IT. *TR

UPDATED 4/22/10 *CN UPDATED 07/09/10.*JB

RETURNING FROM CHURCH (MY CHURCH IS SITUATED ON A HILL) MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE RETURNING TO THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY STEPPED AS HARD AS I COULD ON THE BRAKE PRESSING IT TO THE FLOOR, I ALSO SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION HANDLE TO PARK, IT HAD NO EFFECT. I REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL AND SHOT ACROSS FOUR TRAFFIC LANES AND CUT MY WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND SLAMMED INTO THE GUARD RAIL. THE CAR THEN SEEMED TO STOP AND I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK TO NEUTRAL. THE BRAKES SEEMED TO COME BACK. HOWEVER I PARKED THE CAR AND CALLED THE SHERIFFS OFFICE WHO TOOK THE ACCIDENT REPORT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. I PREVIOUSLY HAD BOTH RECALLS PERFORMED ON THE CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. A COUPLE OF TIMES IT WOULD HAPPEN THAT THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE BY ITSELF. I WAS INSTRUCTED ON HOW TO STOP THE CAR IN THESE CASES. ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I TOOK MY CAR IN TO REPAIR THE RECALL. THEY SAID THEY HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING, BUT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. I AM WONDERING IF THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO GET RESOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL. I LOVE MY CAR BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE, SPECIALLY AFTER I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY OTHER INCIDENTS, NOT TO MENTION DEATHS CAUSED BY THIS. *TR

BRAKES PULL EXCESSIVELY WHEN ROAD CANT IS SLOPED. *TR

I GOT THE RECALL TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE REPAIRED AND THE ACCELERATOR IS STILL STICKING I AM WORRIED THAT OVER TIME AS THE VEHICLE AGES IT WILL NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

ALMOST EVERYONE KNOWS THAT TOYOTA HAD RECALLED 4M CARS, AND ONE OF THE CARS IS THE LATEST MODEL OF CAMRY, I OWN 2009 CAMRY, SENT TO DEALER. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER, INSTALLED A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM, INSERTED A STEEL BAR INTO THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY, AND CUT 1 IN. OF THE PLASTIC SHOE PEDAL AND ROUNDED IT AT THE END. NOW THE PLASTIC SHOE PEDAL IS NOT ONLY SHORTER BUT ALSO SLIPPERY BECAUSE THEY ROUNDED IT. BEFORE MODIFICATION, THE SHOE PEDAL MEASUREMENT IS AROUND 4.5 IN X 1.5 IN. SQUARE WITH 2 HORIZONTAL LINES AT THE END OF THE SHOE PEDAL. (2 HORIZONTAL LINES AT THE BOTTOM PREVENT FOOT FROM SLIPPING AND SQUARE SHAPE TO HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE FOOT TO STEP ON). NOW, THEY CUT SHORT THE SHOE PEDAL, THE MEASUREMENT IS 3.5 IN X 1.5 IN (ROUNDED, ELIMINATED THE 2 HORIZONTAL LINES), IT NOT SQUARE ANYMORE. I LOOKED AT OTHERS CARS, HONDA, NISSAN, FORD, VOLKS, ...NONE OF THEM HAVE A SHORTER AND ROUNDED SHOE PEDALS...THE SHOE PEDAL IS DESIGN TO HAVE A CERTAIN LENGTH AND SQUARE AT THE END. THIS IS NOT A GOOD CALL FORM TOYOTA. THIS IS NOT A SAFE. TOYOTA IS TRYING TO DESIGN IT TO PREVENT INTERFERE W/ THE MAT, UNFORTUNATELY ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR MAT IS INTACT AND CLIP ON. I CALLED ON THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT...THEY ADVISED ME TO CALL THE TOYOTA HOTLINE, WHICH I DID. THEY SAID THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. I AM ONLY ONE VOICE. OTHERS MIGHT NOT NOTICE IT. UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. THIS IS A CONCERN THAT I THINK SHOULD BE LOOKED UPON. MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST ALREADY ...WE DO NOT WANT TO ADD MORE PEOPLE IN THE LIST OF DEATHS OR INJURIES. PLEASE HEAR THIS MESSAGE. THANK YOU. *TR

MY RPM'S ARE NOT MOVING WHEN MY CAR IS ACCELERATING. *TR

THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT THE "FIX" FOR THE RECALL ON THE STICKING ACCELERATORS IS NOT 100% EFFECTIVE, IF AT ALL. I BOUGHT MY TOYOTA CAMRY IN APRIL 2009 AND INSTANTLY STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ACCELERATOR STICKING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND/OR THAT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS THE TRANSMISSION BEING EQUIPPED TO "HOLD YOU BACK" AND SAVE YOUR BRAKES. I CONTINUED HAVING THE PROBLEM AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THE SAME THING. ON FEBRUARY 13, 2010, I HAD THE RECALL WORK PERFORMED ON MY CAR. 3 WEEKS LATER (MARCH 3, 2010), I EXPERIENCED THE STICKING ACCELERATOR ONCE AGAIN. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NO LONGER STICK AFTER THIS "FIX" WAS DONE. MY CAR IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE AS THE CAR AGES. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION, "ONLY" A STICKING ACCELERATOR, BUT I AM CONCERNED OF WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS AS MY CAR AGES AND BECOMES MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THIS STICKING OF THE ACCELERATOR HAS OCCURRED A FEW TIMES A MONTH OVER THE LAST 11 MONTHS. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HAD IT IN FOR RECALL REPAIR THEY REWORKED THROTTLE PEDAL AND THE OIL LINE THEY ALSO REWORKED THE COMPUTER IT IS NOW WORSE THAN IT WAS IT IDLES AT AQ HIGH RATE AND IS DIFFICULT TO STOP. *TR

HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS SINCE MY 2009 CAMERY XLE GAS PEDAL RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. I DIDN'T HAVE A SINGLE PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE THE RECALL WAS DONE AND AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN STICKING AND BINDING UP INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST MONTH SINCE THE RECALL HAS BEEN "FIXED". TOYOTA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO.

ON MARCH 1 AT 5:15PM I WAS ON I-295 HEADED HOME AND MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE ACCELERATED AFTER I HAD ALL THREE RECALLS DONE AT THE TOYOTA OF WALDORF. AS I WAS COMING UP TO A S500 MERCEDES I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW MY CAR DOWN ONCE I PRESSED THE BRAKE, I FELT THE CAR SWITCHED TO A HIGHER GEAR, I CONTINUES TO PRESS THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD, FINALLY I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO THE LEFT INTO THE GRASS WHERE I THEN THREW IT IN NEUTRAL UNTIL IT SLOWED DOWN. I THEN CUT IT OFF AND CALLED TOYOTA TO COMPLAIN. THE SERVICE MANAGER ASKED WOULD I LIKE IT TOWED AND I REPLIED " WHAT DO YOU THINK?" I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT I HAD ALL THE RECALLED DONE ON MY CAR AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENED. AFTER THEY TOWED MY CAR THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED TO COMPLAIN TO THE GM THEY THEN TRANSFER ME OVER TO ANOTHER SERVICE MANAGER AFTER I WAITED FOR THE GM FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THIS SERVICE MANAGER TELLS ME THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG AND OFFERED ME A RENTAL CAR. I WENT TO PICK UP THE RENTAL AND I REALIZED AFTER I GOT HOME THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS NOT JUST MINE THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THIS RECALL SO I DECIDED TO LOOK UP THIS 2010 TACOMA THAT THEY GAVE ME AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS ON THE LIST. I DECIDED TO PARK THIS CAR AND RIDE TO THE METRO WHICH DROPS ME OFF HALF OF A MILE FROM MY JOB. I WOULD RATHER TAKE THIS HASSLE THAN TO DRIVE ANY OF THESE RECALL VEHICLES FROM TOYOTA. I HAVE A FAMILY THAT I HAVE TO PROTECT AND IF THIS IS HOW THE "TOYOTA FAMILY" CARE FOR ITS CUSTOMERS THEN I CHOOSE TO NOT DEAL WITH THIS "FAMILY" IN THE FUTURE. I AM REQUESTING FROM TOYOTA THAT THEY PUT ME IN A CAR OF EQUAL VALUE EVEN IF ITS USED AND ONE THAT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. TO ALL THAT HAVE A RECALL MODEL FROM TOYOTA I RECOMMEND THAT YOU BE VERY CAUTIOUS OF THE REPAIRS DONE AND DRIVE EVEN SAFER THAN BEFORE. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE TWICE TODAY WITH THE CORPORATE OFFICE ATTEMPTING TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE AND BOTH TIMES I WAS PLACED ON HOLD FOR 30 MINUTES AND STILL COULDN'T REACH ANYONE. *TR

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE SEDAN. CONSUMER STATES STEERING PROBLEM, A CONTINUED PULL TO THE LEFT WHICH APPARENTLY CANNOT BE CORRECTED WITHOUT REPLACEMENT OF TIRES. *TGW TWO HOURS AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE TIRE HAD A SLOW LEAK. THE DEALER FOUND A NAIL NEAR THE SIDEWALL OF THE TREAD. THE CONSUMER PURCHASED TWO FRONT TIRES. AFTER HE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, HE NOTICED THE PULL TO THE LEFT WAS GONE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE OF POOR QUALITY AND WOULD NOT LAST MUCH PAST 25,000 TO 30,0000 MILES. *JB

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH ACCELERATION AND BRAKE FAILURE. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKES, THEY DID NOT GRAB. ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY DRIVING DOWN A HILL, THERE WERE NOT BRAKES AT ALL. THERE WAS PLENTY OF PEDAL, BUT THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER READ 83 MPH. FINALLY, THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN A LITTLE BY USING BOTH FEET TO APPLY THE BRAKES.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD STOPPED AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE COMPUTER WAS RESET. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AGAIN. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT. SHE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL GEAR; HOWEVER, THE STICK SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UP ON A CURB IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP IT FROM ACCELERATING; THEN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DEALERS POSSESSION FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 WEEKS; YET, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO ONE SIDE WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIRS COULD BE PERFORMED IF THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SAFETY DEFECTS. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE TOWED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE CONTACT DECLINED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,086 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES ON MY 2009 CAMRY AT AROUND 25,000 MILES. THE LOW PRESSURE TIRE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I HAD JUST HAD IT SERVICED. THE MASTER MECHANIC AT WORK CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE AND EACH TIRE WAS 8 - 10 POUNDS LOW ON PRESSURE. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA IN NORTH AUGUSTA, SC AND THE RUDE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT WHEN I HAD IT SERVICED A TOP TECHNICAL SIGNED OFF AS ROTATING AND AIRING THE TIRES AND THAT HAD IT BEEN ANOTHER TECHNICIAN HE MIGHT BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T AIR THE TIRES. HE ONLY AIRED THE TIRES, DIDN'T CHECK VALVE STEMS OR FOR TIRE DEFECTS. THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND I WENT BACK A COUPLE MORE TIMES I BELIEVE. HE FINALLY DETERMINED MAKING THE STATEMENT "THIS IS COMMON. SINCE IT WAS MY SECOND CAMRY I DISAGREED WITH HIM AND THEN HE RESPONDED "IT IS COMMON IN THIS MODEL". HE SAID YOU COULD DRIVE OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOT AND IT MIGHT COME ON AGAIN.....I REPLIED "I'M NOT BUYING THIS AND LEFT". THE LIGHT DID COME BACK ON WITHIN THE WEEK OR TWO. I LOOKED AT MY FRONT TIRES AND WAS SHOCKED! THE FRONT TIRES WERE WORN OUT WITH HARDLY NO TREAD LEFT ON THEM. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A TIRE DEALER AND REPLACED THE "FIRESTONE BRIDGESTONE" TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRE...........THAT HAS BEEN NEARLY 5,000 AGO AND THE LIGHT HAS NEVER TURNED ON. THERE IS A DEFINITE DEFECT HERE WITH THE CAR OF TIRE DEALER. TIRES SHOULD LAST A LONG LONGER THAN 20,000 TO 25,000 MILES ON A NEW CAR ESPECIALLY. IF OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE REIMBURSING CAR OWNERS FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES....MAYBE THEY PURCHASED DEFECTIVE PARTS AT A LOW COST JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH THE BRAKES....HAD I NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE TIRE PROBLEM IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A BLOW OUT AND ENDANGERING OF MY LIFE AND OTHERS. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND DID NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO RESEARCH FOR AN EXISTING PROBLEM, WHICH BECAME EVIDENT AFTER A FEW TRIPS IN THERE. HIS AND TOYOTA'S DISREGARD FOR SAFETY HAS REALLY CHANGED MY OPINION OF TOYOTA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON CRASH AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THIS WAS THE THIRD CRASH EXPERIENCED IN THE VEHICLE IN WHICH THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING TO INDICATE A POSSIBLE FAILURE WITHIN THE AIR BAGS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE AIR BAGS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY NOT HAVE OPERABLE AIR BAGS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000. UPDATED 5/9/11 *CN UPDATED 08/29/11

WE OWN A 2009 CAMRY SE. THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT REGARDLESS OF ROAD GRADE. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR ALIGNED NINE (9) TIMES IN 45 DAYS. EACH INSTANCE THE ALIGNMENT HAS READ "OUT OF ALIGNMENT". THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THEY CAN DO. WE HAVE PURCHASED TWO (2) SETS OF TIRES AND THE PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. THE VEHICLE HAS 28,000 MILES. STEERING WHILE BREAKING - @10MPH TO STOP: PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT. STEERING WHEEL WILL TURN 18 DEGREES COUNTER CLOCKWISE BEFORE COMPLETE STOP. HAVE REPEATED THIS CONSISTENTLY (ELEVEN ..11, TIMES ) WITH DEALERSHIP SERVICE MGR. IN VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE PRESENTS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE IS EXCEPTIONALLY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS .. I.E., SNOW, ICE AND RAIN. REQUEST FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND NHTSA INVOLVEMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH.

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH FLOOR MAT AND GAS ACCELERATOR *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THREE DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THE CONSUMER CRASHED INTO HER GARAGE DOOR. *JB

TOYOTA CAMRY POST RECALL FIX - ISSUES 1. TOYOTA CAMRY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. CAR ENDED UP IN A DITCH AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED 2. TOYOTA CAMRY RECALL FIX WAS DONE 2 DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENT. A METAL SHIN WAS INSERTED INTO ACCELERATOR ASSEMBLY PEDAL ALONG WITH CAR SOFTWARE (BREAK OVERRIDES ACCELERATOR). REALLY BAD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE - NO QUICK RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE - HAVE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BUT WAS DENIED ANY TOWING CHARGER AT THE DEALERSHIP - NOBODY CALLED ME FOR 2 DAYS TO LET ME KNOW STATUS OF THE CAR - LOST MY KEYS AND KEPT ME WAITING. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2009 CAMRY HYBRID THIS PAST SUMMER AND WITHIN A MONTH, NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH OCCASIONAL BRAKING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS THIS WAS THE HYBRID TECHNOLOGY, BUT AT TIMES I HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME NEAR MISSES AND HAVE BEEN VERY CONCERNED WITH THE RECENT REPORTS OF LOST LIFE. I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE TOYOTA.COM WEBSITE ON FEBRUARY 9TH, 2010 AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE SINCE THEN. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THE CAMRY HYBRID WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE LATEST PRIUS RECALL AND FEEL THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A SOFTWARE/ELECTRONICS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND SALES FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT SINCE RECEIVING MY LICENSE. BUT SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR, MY FIRST TOYOTA, I DO NOT FEEL AS SAFE AS I HAVE IN MY GM'S AND FORD'S OVER THE YEARS. WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING IS A FORWARD LURCH WHEN BRAKING FROM 50 MPH TO A QUICK STOP/TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE GAS ENGINE IS ENGAGED. WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE CAR SLOWS, THEN THERE IS A QUICK REVVING OF THE ENGINE, THEN AN UPSHIFT PRIOR TO A DOWNSHIFT WHEN THE ELECTRONICS/BATTERY TAKES OVER. THIS HAS CAUSED SOME NEAR MISSES FROM A REAR END COLLISION, AS THE CAR APPEARS TO STOP, BUT THEN LURCHES FORWARD. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS FORWARD LURCH, WHEN ACCELERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS (30-50 MPH)FROM A STOP LIGHT, AS IF THERE IS A DELAY BETWEEN THE ELECTRONICS TO THE GAS ENGINE. THIS HAS CAUSED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY ON OCCASION, CAUSING ME TO BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN. PLEASE HAVE THIS SOFTWARE DEFECT LOOKED INTO, AS I BELIEVE THIS RECENT RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE THE CAMRY HYBRIDS AS WELL AND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING INTO A PARKING SPACE, APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH. THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD OVER A CURB AND CRASHED INTO A STORE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE POLICE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO WEEKS AFTER THE RECALL REMEDY REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHICH THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. THE VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVING ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 70MPH. ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. THEN AFTER ABOUT 4 SECONDS CAR POWERED UP AGAIN ON ITS ON & RESET CRUISE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW IN A SPAN OF 2 MONTHS. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND CODES.NOTHING SHOWED ON SCANS. I ASKED ABOUT THE ETC AND THEY SAID THAT WOULD NOT CAUSE THE PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED? THEY SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND NO CODES SHOW UP OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO?? THESE ARE THE SO CALLED TECH'S WORDS OF WISDOM. *TR

ON 2/24/10 RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON 2009 CAMRY TOYOTA AT ORLAND PARK, IL . TOYOTA RESHAPED GAS PEDAL, ADDED REINFORCEMENT METAL BAR IN GAS PEDAL, REMOVED PADDING UNDER THE CARPET NEAR THE GAS PEDAL TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE AND REPROGRAMMED COMPUTER. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SO LOUD DUE TO OUTSIDE NOISE AND VIBRATIONS UNDER MY FEET THAT I HEAR AND FEEL EVERYTHING HITTING MY WHEELS AND UNDER CARRIAGE. THIS IS HORRIBLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I THIS PURCHASED VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ITS LUXURIOUS RIDE AND PERFORMANCE, IT HAS BEEN RUINED. *TR

MY CAR EXPERIENCED SUDDEN & STRONG ENGINE SURGING - THE PEDAL DID NOT SEEM TO BE INVOLVED. YET, REQUIRED DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND THE BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED VERY STRONGLY TO CONTROL THE SPEED. IT IS A 2009 CAMRY, BUT NOT ON THE TOYOTA RECALL LIST (THIS WAS CONFIRMED W/THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP). THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, FOUND NO INDICATION OF IT IN THE COMPUTER/ELECTRONIC LOGS IN THE CAR. THEY HAD THEIR SERVICE MANAGER & QUALITY CONTROL MANAGERS CHECK IT. NO ONE CAN IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. YET, IT WAS REAL AND QUITE FRIGHTENING. I AM CONCERNED AND BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THE GAS PEDAL ISSUE CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED. *TR

ON DECEMBER 31, 2008, I PURCHASED A NEW 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY SE FROM MARIETTA TOYOTA. THE CAR HAS A PERSISTENT HESITATION PROBLEM WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE IN MANY SITUATIONS. I HAD AN INCIDENT AROUND FEBRUARY 20, 2010 WHERE THE HESITATION PROBLEM ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON SOUTH COBB DRIVE FROM A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. TRAFFIC FLOW DEMANDED THAT I MERGE INTO TRAFFIC BRISKLY WITHOUT DELAY - SOMETHING I EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO DO WITH A $30,000 V6 TOYOTA CAMRY. I GAVE THE CAR GAS AND IT HESITATED HORRIBLY. THE ENGINE DIED DOWN THEN FINALLY WENT WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE CAR VIBRATED VIOLENTLY AS THE FRONT WHEELS SPUN OUT. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. AS TRAFFIC APPROACHED I WAS SCARED AND REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF THE DRIVERS WHO SLOWED DOWN. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS THE WAY THE CAR WORKS AND THAT I WOULD GET USED TO IT. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND JUST OVER 20,000 MILES, I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT 'USED' TO IT. THE SECOND TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MARIETTA TOYOTA THEY DID SOMETHING TO THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE. THIS DID NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE CAR'S PERFORMANCE. ON MY THIRD VISIT I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HE WAS VERY POLITE AND HONEST. REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT IN HIS OPINION (HE STATED MANY TIMES MAKING SURE THAT I UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAS HIS OPINION) TOYOTA MADE A MISTAKE IN HOW THEY DESIGNED THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE. REPRESENTATIVE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT TOYOTA TRIED TO MAKE THE TRANSMISSION STAY IN THE HIGHEST GEAR POSSIBLE AT ALL TIMES TO SAVE GAS AND THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED THE COMPUTER TOOK A FEW MOMENTS TO DETERMINE WHICH GEAR IT SHOULD DOWNSHIFT TO.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE I HAVE OCCASIONALLY HAD MY VEHICLE ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF STOPPING. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF RECENT NEWS REPORTS DOCUMENTING WIDE SPREAD DEFECTS FOR MY PARTICULAR MODEL. EVEN WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHILE I ATTEMPT TO BRAKE, THERE IS A DELAY IN THE RESPONSE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHICH IS A DANGER IN ITSELF. MY NATURAL REFLEX WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS TO STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE WITH MORE FORCE AND MORE FREQUENCY WHICH, I BELIEVE, CAUSES EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM. BRAKING/ENGINE PROBLEM WITH 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. *TR
