2014 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY HESITATE AND PAUSE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING AND DRIVING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

DRIVER WAS SLOWING DOWN, COASTING BEFORE APPLYING BRAKE TO TURNED LEFT INTO DRIVEWAY. DRIVER APPLIED BRAKE AND CAR ACCELERATED VERY STRONG BUT BRIEF; DRIVER THEN APPLIED BRAKE VERY FIRMLY, AND CAR STOPPED; BUT BY THIS TIME, CAR MISSED DRIVEWAY ENTRY, AND HAD TO BACK UP TO RESTART ENTRY. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES WITH 2 DIFFERENT DRIVERS. OTHER 2 OCCURRENCES WERE LESS STRONG, SUB-SECOND ACCELERATION "BLIPS" TOYOTA CASE #TA151210472.

AS I DROVE, I HAVE NOTICED THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION. DESPITE OF ME STEPPING ON THE GAS TO SPEED UP TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO SPEED UP INSTANTLY. THIS HAS OCCURED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NEW AND MY VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE. NUMEROUS HESITATIONS OCCURED ON HIGHWAY AND OFF HIGHWAY. IT ALSO OCCURED FROM STOP SIGNS AND MAKING TURNS.

6 CAR CRASH ON I-85 NEAR CHARLOTTE AIRPORT. 5 STOPPED CARS WERE SHOVED INTO EACH OTHER IN THE LEFT LANE BECAUSE THE 6TH CAR HIT A VAN GOING APPRX 40 MPH WHICH WAS SHOVED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT, ETC, ETC, ETC., ETC....AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF IN MY CAR. EVERYONE ELSE'S DID GO OFF. I HIT THE DASHBOARD WITH BOTH KNEES/LEGS INJURING THE RIGHT KNEE. SOUGHT MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AFTER RETURNING HOME.....UPDATED 10/15/15 *BF UPDATED 10/17/2017*CN

I WENT OUT TO THE GARAGE TO VERIFY THAT THE GARAGE DOOR WAS CLOSED AND HEARD SOMETHING HUMMING IN THE GARAGE. UPON INVESTIGATING THE SOUND IT TURNED OUT TO BE COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE ONLY THING THAT MADE SENSE TO ME WAS THE FUEL PUMP WAS RUNNING. I PROCEEDED TO GET THE KEYS AND CYCLED THE IGNITION TO ON WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR AND THEN BACK TO OFF. THE HUMMING STOPPED. I DID REMEMBER HEARING A SECOND HUMMING SOUND START AND STOP WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION, WHICH WOULD BE THE NORMAL FUEL PUMP CYCLING FOR AN ENGINE START SEQUENCE. I AM WONDERING IF WHAT I ORIGINALLY HEARD MAY HAVE BEEN A RELIEF VALVE SLOWLY BLEEDING OFF PRESSURE, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS A RELIEF VALVE SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT FOR PIECE OF MIND. THIS DID ALL OCCUR BETWEEN 4-5 HOURS AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY TOYOTA DEALER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

The contact owns 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH or above, the vehicle was shuddering with a whining sound coming from the front-end of the vehicle. The contact stated that the ECO light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who had previously updated the ECM software under a Warranty Enhancement Program. The failure persisted. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,069.

MY CAR WAS T-BONE IN AN INTERSECTION,OTHER DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT,THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR,THE SRS AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I SUSTAINED INJURY.(CLASSIC WHIP FLASH) THIS MODEL CAR ISN'T SAFE,I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED,THE SRS AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL. TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE WAS OF NO HELP AT ALL !!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A DEER AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH, THE CONTACT SUSTAINED WHIPLASH, NECK AND BACK INJURIES WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE STATE OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ASSESSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,963. .. UPDATED 02/19/15 *BF UPDATED 10/28/2015*JS

2/05/2015 AT WORK CAR DID NOT START ONLY CLICKING NOISE AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS IT STARTER LIKE IF HAD A LOW BATTERY 2/062015 5:30 AM CAR DID NOT START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, LEFT FOR 9HRS AFTER 6 ATTEMPTS STARTER CLICKING AND WAS ABLE TO TURN ON, 2/07/2015 8:00 AM IT DID NOT START, LEFT IT FOR 6HRS AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS IT STARTED TOOK TO THE DEALER AND IT STARTED EVERY TIME NOW IT SEEMS TO START BUT IT HESITATES LIKE IF IT HAD A LOW BATTERY, MORE SO IN THE MORNING WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, IT SEEMS TO START RIGHT AWAY AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING. *TR

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THERE'S A MOLD PROBLEM IN THE AC. IT SMELLS AWEFUL. THE CHEMICAL SPRAY THEY USE TO FIX IT DOESN'T WORK. WHEN THEY SPRAY IT, IT SMELLS EVEN WORSE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, BUT THEN IT ALWAYS COMES BACK. IT COSTS $100 EACH TREATMENT. SPENT $$ TRYING OTHER PRODUCTS, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. VERY COSTLY AND NO REMEDY.

THIS CAR HAS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM, IT STALLS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A LOW SPEED (10 TO15 MPH) TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FLOW. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF SERVICE. WE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND NO CAUSE FOR THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME. SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR HAS STALLED AT LEAST 4 MORE TIMES. WE WILL RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEPT. 8TH TO TRY TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. ON AT LEAST 2 OF THE STALLING THINGS IT NEARLY CAUSED SERIOUS COLLISIONS. I LOOKED ON YOUR DATA BASE AND FOUND OTHER INSTANCES OF THE CAMRY STALLING WITH NO RESOLUTION PROVIDE BY TOYOTA OR THE SELLING DEALERSHIP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THERE IS A GREAT POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SURGED AND HESITATED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DID A HARD RESET ON THE ATC AND THE LEARNING CODE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,591. UPDATED 12/23/16*LJ UPDATED 01/04/17.*JB

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 60MPH. VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD SLOWED TO ENTER MERCHANT LOT. APPLIED BRAKE. SOMETHING SNAPPED, STEERING LOCKED, WHEELS LOCKED, TIRES KICKED OUT. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. SKIDDED DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL IMPACTING THE OTHER VEHICLE ON THE SIDE, PUSHING IT BACK INTO TRAFFIC AND CONTINUING SEVERAL FEET UNTIL COMING TO REST IN THE DITCH ABOUT 30 FEET FROM SEVERAL VEHICLES IN THE MERCHANT LOT. TIE ROD BROKE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, THOUGH I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS HIT WAS WHY THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD (40MPH) IN JANUARY 2015 AND AT SOME POINT HAD TO PRESS ON MY BRAKES SOMEWHAT ABRUPTLY DUE TO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY SLOWING DOWN. A FEW MINUTES LATER MY CAR ACCELERATING CAPACITY SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND THE CAR WAS COMING TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD REVVING NOISE AS I TRIED TO INCREASE THE SPEED. IT ALSO WAS NOT MOVING FURTHER. I SOMEHOW PULLED OVER TO A RIGHT TURNING LANE, WHERE I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE CAR BEGAN RUNNING FINE. THEN AGAIN ON 3/1/2015 I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD CONNECTING TO THE HIGHWAY AT MAYBE 35-40MPH WHEN THIS TIME I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN BREAK DUE TO ANOTHER CAR MERGING INTO THE LANE UNEXPECTEDLY. MY CAR THEN IMMEDIATELY STOPPED MOVING FORWARD AND THE CAR WAS TURNING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IN ORDER TO BE HIT BY TRAFFIC COMING BEHIND ME AT 50+ MPH, I WAS FINALLY AGAIN ABLE TO VEER INTO A RIGHT TURNING LANE WHERE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. IT WAS ALSO MAKING THAT SAME LOUD REVVING NOISE WHEN I WAS VEERING IT INTO THE SAFETY LANE. IT AGAIN DROVE FINE ALL THE WAY BACK HOME. THIS IS A 10 MONTH OLD TOYOTA CAMRY SE (BOUGHT IN APRIL 2014) AND I'M TERRIFIED THAT IF FOR ANY REASON I NEED TO HIT MY BRAKES SUDDENLY ON A HIGHWAY OR ANYWHERE ELSE, MY CAR WILL TURN OFF AND THAT WILL BE THE END OF MY CAR AND ME. THERE IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THIS CAR OR MODEL AND OTHERS NEED TO KNOW. THE CARE WAS BOUGHT IN MS. *TR

OWNER OF 2014 CAMRY SINCE MARCH 2014.IN DECEMBER 2014 I EXPERIENCE MY CAR HAVING ISSUES EVERY TIME I WILL GO ON REVERSE IT WILL MAKE A CLANK NOISE. THE MORE THE CAR WILL RUN THE WORSE THE NOISE GOT. FINALLY, I SET UP TIME WITH NORWALK TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO TAKE MY CAR AND GET IT SERVICE AND HAVE AN INSPECTION. I RECEIVED THE RESULTS ON 1/13/2015 DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME A CLAIM WAS FILED WITH TOYOTA IN REGARDS TO THIS AND THE ENGINEERS CAME TO CONCLUSION OF REPAIRING TRANSMISSION. THE CLAIM IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION AT THIS MOMENT BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I NOTICED THERE IS 3 RECALLS WHICH WAS INFORMED TO ME BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS ONLY PERFORMED ONE. VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WITH TOYOTA WHICH HAS NOT HANDLED THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THAT CAN CAUSE AN INJURY OR UNSAFE OF HUMANS DRIVING THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

CAMRY HAD AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT. MY WIFE WAS PARKING AT THE SANTA CLARA ADULT EDUCATION CENTER ON BENTON AVE, SANTA CLARA, CA. SHE WAS DRIVING IN THE PARKING LOT AND MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO THE PARKING STALL. AS SHE APPROACHED THE CONCRETE STOP AT THE END OF THE STALL, HER CAR WENT FULL THROTTLE AND STARTED GOING FORWARD. MY WIFE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR STILL CONTINUED GOING FORWARD. IT WENT OVER THE CONCRETE STOP, WENT ANOTHER 6 FEET PASS THE STOP, AND WENT OVER ANOTHER CONCRETE STRIP. THE 2 CONCRETE STOPS HELPED SLOW THE CAR DOWN, BUT STEPPING ON THE BRAKES DID NOT HELP. THE CAR STOPPED ABOUT 5 FEET FROM A BUILDING SO DAMAGE WAS JUST TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND SPLASH GUARD UNDER THE ENGINE. TOYOTA HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR SO IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. SINCE THIS OCCURRED AT A SCHOOL, I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN VIDEOS OF THE CAR FROM THE SCHOOL. IT SHOWS THE CAR ENTERING THE PARKING LOT FROM THE STREET, GOING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, AND TURNING INTO THE PARKING STALL. THE VIDEO SHOWS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON GOING INTO THE PARKING STALL, BUT THERE IS NO FOOTAGE OF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS GOING OVER THE CONCRETE STOPS. I'M HOPING NHTSA INVESTIGATES THE 2014 CAMRY AS THERE WERE OTHERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. JUST BECAUSE TOYOTA CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE DOESN'T MEAN THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. ANYONE WHO HAS TAKEN A CAR IN TO A MECHANIC WHO CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WOULD REALIZE THIS. *TR

DEALER REPLACED WORN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT NOISY AND BINDING STEERING NOW ORDERED AND PENDING REPLACEMENT OF COMPLETE STEERING COLUMN UNDER WARRANTY

MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY CAUSES EYE IRRITATION AND BURNING. MOSTLY LIKELY THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY HVAC SYSTEM AND/OR COMPARTMENT SEALS THAT COULD BE CHANNELING TRACE AMOUNTS OF EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I DRIVE MY OTHER CAR, I.E. MY EYES AREN'T THE PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED THAT I MAY BE INHALING SOMETHING TOXIC AND AM ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED ABOUT TAKING THE CAR ON LONG DRIVES.

THERE IS MOLD GROWING IN MY AC/HEATING SYSTEM THAT IS MAKING ME VERY ILL. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND TOYOTA HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. FOR MORE THAN A YR. NOW I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE A SERIOUS SINUS INFECTION. AT A RECENT MAINT. INSPECTION THE SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME OF THE PROBLEM. MY CAR IS FAIRLY NEW AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $185 TO TREAT THE PROBLEM NOT CORRECT IT! THE SMELL IS CONSTANT.

I LOST CONTROL OF THIS CAMRY WHEN IT WENT OVER A PATCH OF ICE AND SKIDDED INTO A ROCK FACE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. MY HEAD AND FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE NASAL BONE IS FRACTURED...UPDATED 02/18/15 *BF

IT HAS BEEN OMITTING A FOUL, MOLDY, MILDEWY, BAD BO (BODY ODOR), MUSTY, SOUR SMELL SINCE ONLY OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN HALF A YEAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY/HEALTH ISSUE & NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED ASAP. I MYSELF HAVE ALLERGIES & THE SMELL BLOWING OUT FROM THE VENTS ON A DAILY BASIS IS CAUSING ME TO BE VERY SICK. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES & THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. IT IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MANUFACTURER'S VEHICLES & THEY HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO ADDRESS OR REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE WHO ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

DRIVING ON I-70 EAST OF FREDERICK, MD UP LONG HILL WHEN CAR LOST POWER. SPEED DROPPED FROM 75 TO 50 MPH. I WAS IN CENTER LANE AND TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. NARROWLY AVOIDED MULTI-CAR PILEUP WHILE TRYING TO WORK MY WAY TO SHOULDER. NOTHING ON DASHBOARD INDICATED PROBLEM. NO UNUSUAL ODORS OR SOUNDS. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 4 HOURS WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHEN I RETURNED TO FLORIDA 3 DAYS LATER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES APPEARED ON THEIR EQUIPMENT AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE NO HILLS IN THE AREA. TOOK CAR TO A SECOND DEALER AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. DEALER RECOMMENDS 6 CYLINDER CAR. I HAVE DRIVEN NOTHING BUT 4 CYLINDER CARS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN THEM FROM COAST TO COAST INCLUDING COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA AND CALIFORNIA. I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE 4 CYLINDER CARS ON ANY TERRAIN. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THE CAR HAS A DEFECT WHICH COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND THE LACK OF DIAGNOSIS INDICATES TO ME A FAILURE IN THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. *TR

MY 2014 CAMRY STALLS WHEN I STOP AND TRY TO INTER TRAFFIC. IT DOES THIS VERY OFTEN. I REPORTED THIS TO MCKINNION TOYATO IN CLANTION AL. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DO THIS.I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, IT IS GOING TO GET ME OR SOMEONE KILLEDIF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED. I AM GOING BACK TO THEM TOMORROW.IF THEY DON'T FIX THIS I WILLGO TO MY LAWYER AND INFORM IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENTBECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. SO HE CAN TAKE ACTION AGAINST TOYATO

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: WE PURCHASED A NEW 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM RELIABLE TOYOTA IN SPRINGFIELD, MO ON MARCH 21, 2014. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT WOULD RACE IN FIRST GEAR, ONCE EXCEEDING 4,000 RPM'S. MY FOOT WAS OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND I COULD ONLY USE THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN WHILE IT CONTINUED TO RACE. IN ALL *3 INSTANCES, MULTIPLE PEOPLE WERE IN THE CAR. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR US AS TRAFFIC CAME UP FAST BEHIND US. EACH TIME I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO SELL US A NEW CAR, THE LAST TIME WITH EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND FOLLOWUP PHONE CALLS. WE HAVE HAD ALL OUR SERVICE DONE AT RELIABLE TOYOTA AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER (DISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROGRAM) TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM, HOPING FOR SOME HELP. THEY INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND CAME BACK WITH 'CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOUR DEALER RE:THE PROBLEM.' THEY HAD NO ANSWER WHEN I ASKED HOW SHOULD THIS BE DONE IF WE ARE IN TEXAS OR OHIO VISITING OUR ADULT CHILDREN OR WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING TO A FRIEND'S HOME AND THE TRANSMISSION RACES WITHOUT KNOWN CAUSE. THEIR ANSWER, 'CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOUR DEALER.' EVEN IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN HERE IN BRANSON, MO, WE ARE 30 MILES AWAY FROM RELIABLE TOYOTA. I CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN WHERE THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY. *NOVEMBER, 2014 WAS FIRST. JUNE 4, 2015 WAS SECOND. JULY 28, 2015 WAS LAST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY.

A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

SINCE WE PURCHASES THIS CAR IN 2014, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GAS PEDAL BEING PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR NOT MOVING. THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS WE HAD OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. WHICH IS NOT TRUE. ALL TIMES THE AUTO WAS IN MOTION AND WE STEPPED ON THE GAS TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED. 2ND. THE DRIVER SIDE RIGHTS ROUGH, AND WHEN A POT HOLE IS HIT WITH THE LEFT WHEEL IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL HITTING METAL. WHEN GOING INTO A RIGHT TURN 65-75 MPH THE AUTO FEELS LIKE IT IS SKIPPING OFF THE ROAD, TO A POINT IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. WE HAVE RECORDS FROM TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, GOING BACK TO OCT. 2014. WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU CAN DO. [XXX], [XXX], E-MAIL [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS A POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT TIS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, THAT IS, IT DOESN'T HAPPENED ALL THE TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS VERY NEW -100KM - AND I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS A VEHICLE AND NOTHING HAPPENED, THE CAR SEEMED TO BE DEAD THEN A FEW MOMENTS LATER - 1-2 SECONDS - THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF. THE NEXT IT HAPPENED WAS AT 2500 MILES AND THE CAR WAS ABOUT 20 MIN. INTO DRIVING IN THE LATE FALL . I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THE TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY. I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET INTO TRAFFIC AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED THE CAR JUST DIDN'T MOVE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TOOK OFF SPINNING ITS WHEELS AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON A VERY COLD DAY AND AGAIN I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AHEAD AND ... NOTHING. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST TOOK OFF. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY DROVE IT FOR 20 MINUTES AND AFTER A CHARGE OF $24.00 THEY SAID THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. I DID TELL THEM IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE OF THE LAPSE OF RESPONSE AND THEN A SUDDEN RESPONSE CAN LEAVE THE DRIVER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT I TRY NOT TO EXPECT IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FROM MY ACCELERATOR. HAS THERE BEEN ""HIDDEN RECALL" TO THIS PROBLEM?.....UPDATED 03-03-15 *BF UPDATED 3/24/2016 *JS UPDATED 9/21/2017*CN

THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2014 IS DESIGNED SO THAT YOU MAY TAKE YOUR 'KEY FOB' AND LEAVE THE CAR WITHOUT PUTTING IT IN PARK TURNING OFF THE MOTOR PUTTING THE PARKING BRAKE ON HOW STUPID IS THIS! YOU THEN HAVE A GOOGLE SELF DRIVING CAR WITHOUT YOU IN IT. YOU COULD EVEN RUN OVER YOURSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,903.

GAS PEDAL ON OCCASION FAILS TO MOVE CAR FORWARD, WHEN IT DOES THE AUTO JUMPS FORWARD. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THIS FAILURE. AUTO FEELS LIKE IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SUSPENSION. WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEED LIMITS, AUTO BOUNCES AROUND TURNS AS IF IT WAS GOING OVER SMALL SPEED BUMPS IN THE ROAD. WE TRAVEL ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND EVERY IMPERFECTION IS FELT BY ALL PASSENGERS, AND CAN BE SEEN IN VIBRATIONS NOTICED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT, THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD BY THIS DEALER THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTO, HOWEVER, WE HAD TO LEAVE THIS DEALERSHIP BEFORE FURTHER ACTION COULD BE TAKEN. OUR NEW LOCAL DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OR SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. *TR

CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE LIKE IT SHOULD WHEN TAKING OFF IT HAS TO BUILT UP SPEED WHICH IS REALLY DANGEROUS ENTERING HIGHWAY IT LAGS THEN PICK UP SPEED.

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE AND TURNING ON A/C A VERY FOUL ODOR OF MILDEW AND MOLD COMES FROM THE VENTS. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CLEANING AND REPLACED THE FILTER WITH A CARBON ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AT OUR EXPENSE. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. WE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OF RUNNING AC IN NON RECIRCULATING MODE TO NO AVAIL. TOYOTA DOES NOT SEEN TO WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED OF OUR HEALTH FROM INHALING THESE MOLD SPORES AND BACTERIA. *TR

THE SEAT BELTS GET WET EVERY SINGLE TIME ITS RAIN BOTH SIDES THE DRIVER AND PASSAGE SIDE. THE CONDITION ITS TO BAD THE I FEEL THE SEAT WET TOO. *TR

PICKED UP A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY XLE. LEAVING THE DEALER THE LIGHT REFLECTING OFF THE DASH ONTO THE WINDSHIELD REDUCED VISIBILITY TO THE POINT THAT I COULD HARDLY SEE THE ROAD. *TR

I WAS MAKING A TURN OUT OF A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, BUT WHEN I MADE THE TURN THE PLASTIC COVERING OVER MY STEERING WHEEL FLEW OFF AND FELL TO THE GROUND. I WAS ABLE TO STEER AND HIT THE BRAKES JUST IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING A PARKED CAR. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BRAKE SINCE THE COVER HIT THE GROUND AND PREVENTED ME FROM MOVING EASILY TO HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EMITTING A MILDEW ODOR CAUSING HIM TO BECOME NAUSEOUS WHEN DRIVING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REFRESHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

FIRST INCIDENT WAS IT SPEEDING UP AND GOING THROUGH GARAGE DOOR. IN MARCH, 2015 WAS INCIDENT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE THAT THE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP AND THEN SURGED FORWARD INTO ANOTHER CAR AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE IN. LATER THAT DAY COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE, IT SURGED FORWARD WHEN FOOT ON BRAKE, SLOWING FOR STOP SIGN AT END OF EXIT RAMP. CAR SURGED FORWARD AND I WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND BARELY MISSED HITTING 2 CARS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LOST POWER WHEN I "STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR" TO COMPENSATE FOR A SLIGHT UPGRADE ON THE FREEWAY, AND SUBSEQUENTLY SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, FORCING ME TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IDLED NORMALLY WHILE PARKED ON THE SHOULDER; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 20-25 MPH, AND FORCED SLOW TRAVEL ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD IN AN ATTEMPT TO REACH THE NEAREST OFF-RAMP.. I WAS FORCED TO TRAVEL ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH FOR TWO OR THREE MILES. EACH TIME I ATTEMPTED TO "STEP ON THE GAS" WHILE TRAVELING OF THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE WOULD "STUMBLE", APPEAR TO LOSE POWER, AND FORCE ME TO LET UP ON THE "GAS." AFTER TRAVELING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY FOR TWO TO THREE MILES, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY REGAINED POWER AND ALLOWED ME TO RESUME FREEWAY TRAVEL AT 55-60 MPH. PRIOR TO THE 24 AUGUST, 2014, INCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY LOST POWER WHEN ACCELERATING ON A FREEWAY ON-RAMP; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY A MOMENTARY EVENT THAT CORRECTED ITSELF IN A FEW SECONDS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING (DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED) MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND WANT TO STALL,LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY GAS.STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL DOES NO GOOD. THEN IT WILL SUDDENLY KICK BACK IN AND DRIVE NORMAL UNTILL THE NEXT TIME IT FEELS LIKE DOING IT. THE PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY,JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN.PRETTY SCARY WHEN YOUR ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 65MPH AND YOUR CAR WANTS TO STALL IN MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC.I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER,THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG,THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THIS STALLING PROBLEM IS HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WERE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. AS A RESULT, BOTH PEDALS WERE DEPRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY.
