THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TAKATA RECALL 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY SITTING IDLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END IMPACT FORCING VEHICLE TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AT HIGH SPEED ALSO DOES THIS AT LOW SPEED, NEW TIRES BRAKES ALIGNMENT.. THE CAR HAS THROWS ME OUT OF THE LANE CONSISTANTLY AND HAS ALSO THROWN MY FAMILY AND I TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNSAFE TO DRIVE EVEN TO TOYOTA DONT NOW WHAT A WRONG, ALL NEW TIRES RIMS ARE GOOD BRAKES I'M THINKING SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL STEERING

AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER GRILL WHERE THE EMBLEM IS LOCATED IS BUBBLING SIGNIFICANTLY. THE "CHROME" LOOKING PLASTIC ISN'T HOLDING UP TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAMRY. I WASH MY VEHICLE TWICE A MONTH, SO NOT TAKING CARE OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT THE ISSUE BY ANY MEANS. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS NO LONGER ON MY COVERAGE FOR WARRANTY. I DO NOT FEEL A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE COSMETIC ISSUES LIKE THIS AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE FROM DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW. FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS OF ITS 16 MONTH LIFE SPAN THE CAR WAS GARAGE KEPT. MY WIFE IS CURRENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT TAKE IT FOR A DRIVE THAT OFTEN.

ON 3/10/2018 AROUND 7:25PM WHEN I WAS VERY SLOWLY PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY CAR ACCELERATED SUDDENLY, I WAS NOT PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BARELY BEFORE IT HIT MY GARAGE DOOR BY STEPPING VERY HARD ON BRAKES. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR DEADLY ACCIDENT IF THERE WERE ANY CHILDREN AROUND. I THOUGHT TOYOTA HAD ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE BUT APPARENTLY IT HAD NOT. I HAVE A VIDEO RECORDING OF THE EVENT ON MY SECURITY CAMERA.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 280 SOUTHBOUND AT ROUGHLY 65 MPH IN FRIDAY EVENING TRAFFIC, THE MOONROOF ON MY 2017 CAMRY EXPLODED SPONTANEOUSLY. IT WAS SO LOUD, I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN SHOT AT. LUCKILY, THE COVER WAS CLOSED OR GLASS WOULD HAVE BEEN EVERYWHERE IN THE CAR'S INTERIOR. THE GLASS HAD EXPLODED OUTWARD AS THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE SLIDING COVER AT ALL. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET INTO A SHOP AS IT WAS AFTER 5 PM. THE MOONROOF RAILS HAD TO BE REPLACED WHEN I INITIALLY BOUGHT THE CAR LAST YEAR AND SO I THOUGHT THE DEALER WOULD HAVE THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTEE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON SATURDAY MORNING AND THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTEE. DENNIS MCCONNELL STATED THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER SO MUCH EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL PRESSURE WHEN SEALED UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THAT THIS FAILURE SOMETIMES HAPPENS ESPECIALLY AS MOONROOF AND SUNROOFS BEING A STANDARD FEATURE ON CARS TODAY. I ENDED UP PAYING $1072 FOR A REPAIR I FEEL MUST BE A STRUCTURAL ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL BY TOYOTA. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 25K MILES. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. I AM NOW AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND DRIVE WITH THE MOONROOF OPEN ON THE FREEWAY.

WHILE TRAVELING OVER A SPEED BUMP, DRIVEWAY ENTRY, OR RAILROAD CROSSING, A LOUD MECHANICAL CLUNKING SOUND OCCASIONALLY COMES FROM THE CAR. THE CLUNKING SOUND IS DEFINITELY FROM THE FRONT, AND APPEARS TO BE FROM THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION. THE SOUND OCCURS WHEN THE CAR COMES DOWN TO ITS LOWEST POINT OF SUSPENSION TRAVEL. THIS CLUNKING SOUND OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY OVER SPEED BUMPS, AND OCCASIONALLY AT DRIVEWAY ENTRIES, AND RAILROAD CROSSINGS. THE CLUNKING SOUND HAS OCCURRED WITH THE BRAKES ON AND OFF. THE SOUND HAS MOST FREQUENTLY OCCURRED AT SLOW SPEEDS AND OCCASIONALLY OCCURRED AT NORMAL STREET SPEEDS. THE CLUNKING SOUND HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AND WHILE IT IS STRAIGHT. THE CAR IS ONE YEAR OLD, AND THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED BETWEEN 8K-9K MILES. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT, OR ANY CONDITION THAT WOULD DAMAGE THE SUSPENSION, AND THE SUSPENSION HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED FOR THE ISSUE YET. THE CAR WILL BE INSPECTED AT THE NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE OF 15K MILES. THE ISSUE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THE ISSUE CANNOT BE EXACTLY REPLICATED DURING A TEXT DRIVE, BUT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND OFTEN ENOUGH TO BE A NUISANCE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON A RAINY, COOL DAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. THINKING IT WAS A GUNSHOT, I LIKED AROUND THE VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE PASSENGER WAS OK. I HEARD A WINDY SOUND AND OPENED THE SUNROOF COVER PANEL TO SEE THAT MY ENTIRE SUNROOF IS CRACKED TO PIECES. I RUSHED HOME AND ONCE EXITING THE CAR, I NOTICE THE GLASS ON THE SUNROOF LOOKS TO HAVE EXPLODED OUTWARDS. IT IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED WITH NO SIGNS OF IMPACT OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY DRIVING. IT WAS COMPLETELY EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

THERE IS A HESITATION PROBLEM NORMALLY WHEN STARTING FROM A STAND STILL.IT HESITATES FOR JUST 1-2 SECONDS. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.TOYOTA SERVICE SAYS THEY HAVE NO NOTICE OF A PROBLEM BUT CUSTAMERS ARE SAYING OTHERWISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE, ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND IMPACTED THE FRONT END. THE CONTACT APPLIED FORCE TO THE BRAKES. UPON IMPACT FROM THE OTHER VEHICLE, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SPUN AROUND TO THE RIGHT AND CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED CUTS, BRUISES, AND SPRAINED WRISTS. MEDICAL TREATMENT WAS REQUIRED DUE TO NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE AND DEEMED IT DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH AFTER IT HAPPENED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,400.

TO USE THE DEFROST SETTING IN THE 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY, OUTSIDE AIR MUST BE ON. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS FEATURE WITH ANY OTHER CAR I OWNED AND IT IS NOT LIKE THIS IN THE 2018 MODELS. THIS MEANS WHEN DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, YOU MUST HAVE OUTSIDE AIR ON TO RUN THE DEFROSTERS. THIS CAUSES EXHAUST TO COME IN YOUR CAR. SINCE I LIVE IN HOUSTON, TX WITH HIGH HUMIDITY, RUNNING THE DEFROSTERS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE A HEADACHE MANY TIMES. IN 2017, IT SNOWED IN HOUSTON AND TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD, YOU HAD COLD OUTSIDE AIR COMING IN.

ON THE 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY, I NOTICED THE DOOR JAMB HAS A STICKER THAT READS "CAUTION: LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY REDUCED. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE HAVE REDUCED THE ORIGINAL LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY BY 9 KG OR 21 LBS." I HAVE NOT DONE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO EXPLANATION WHY THIS STICKER WAS PLACED ON THE DOOR JAMB.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED TO OPEN AND LOCK WITH THE REMOTE KEY AND THE BUTTONS ON THE DOOR. THE CONTACT HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARSON TOYOTA (1333 E 223RD ST, CARSON, CA 90745), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS ABLE TO BE REPAIRED, BUT NOT THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,406. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

ON NOVEMBER 4TH, 2017, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH WAS DETERMINED BY THE POLICE REPORT TO BE A HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT. WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO FIND THE PERSON WHO HIT MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MY CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF SPINNING ACROSS 7 LANES AND HITTING THE SUB-DIVIDERS. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE BELOW. UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE 8 AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED. MY FACE WAS SLAMMED VERY HARD AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT. WE REPORTED THIS TO THE TOYOTA CORPORATION AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO DO AN INVESTIGATION, WHICH TOOK THEM MORE THAN 2 AND A HALF MONTHS, TO COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CAR PERFORMED NORMALLY. THEY SENT ME SOME DIAGRAMS AND OTHER INFORMATION WHICH WAS COMPLETELY INCOMPREHENSIBLE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS FROM THE TOYOTA INSPECTION DEPARTMENT. I RECENTLY SENT A LETTER TO TOYOTA CORPORATION REQUIRING A FAIR RESOLUTION TO MY SITUATION. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED COPY OF THAT LETTER. EVERYBODY I SHOW THE CAR TO, INCLUDING BODY SHOPS AND MECHANICS, FELT THAT I WAS VERY LUCKY TO WALK AWAY ALIVE FROM THAT CAR. I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, FEARING ANOTHER ACCIDENT WHERE THE OUTCOME MAY NOT BE THE SAME. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AND TOYOTA CORPORATION IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPENSATE ME FOR THE REPAIRS, CAR RENTALS, AND OTHER EXPENSES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL ME AT [XXX], OR EMAIL ME AT [XXX]. I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ARRANGE FOR AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. I SINCERELY APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD SEAL WAS UNSECURED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. PRICE TOYOTA LOCATED AT 168 N. DUPONT HWY, NEW CASTLE DE, WAS NOTIFIED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.*DT*JB

WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME ON MY 2017 CAMRY XLE 2 NIGHTS AGO (CLEAR NIGHT, DRY ROAD, GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS) I HIT THE BRAKES AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. AS I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH A NOISE, WITHOUT BRAKING. LUCKILY, I WAS ALREADY DRIVING SLOW AND THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME, ELSE I WOULD HAVE HIT ANY CAR THAT HAD BEEN IN FRONT OF ME. I PANICKED AND HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED A LITTLE SHORT OF THE CROSS TRAFFIC, BUT PAST THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO TOYOTA AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO LOG OF THIS EVENT IN THE CAR'S "LOG" AND BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T THERE WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT! THE NEXT DAY, THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING WHEN I DROVE THE CAR IN TO SERVICE (3 MILES), BUT IT TROUBLES ME THAT IT EVEN HAPPENED ON A NEW CAR AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT, BUT TOYOTA SERVICE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAD HAPPENED. REALLY WORRIED!

IN THE PROCESS OF BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, WITH THE CAR IN REVERSE, APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES HAD NO AFFECT ON SLOWING THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 69-80 FEET (ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY, MY LAWN AND MY NEIGHBOR'S LAWN) IT CRASHED INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S SHED. THERE WAS $6000 DAMAGE TO THE CAR , SOME BACK PAIN AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SHED.TWO MONTHS LATER, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY PUTTING IT INTO FIRST NEUTRAL GEAR AND THEN PARK BEFORE ANY DAMAGE. THEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN FORWARD GEAR, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS PUT IN FIRST, NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK. ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO REPRODUCE THIS CONDITION WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE CORRECTED.

THE BODY OF THE SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS IS BLOCKING A SIGNIFICANT AREA OF THE DRIVER'S VIEW TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT. THE MIRRORS OF AVERAGE SIZE ARE PART OF A BODY THAT IS EXCESSIVELY LARGE, ADDING SEVERAL INCHES AROUND THE AREA OF THE MIRROR. THE WHOLE BODY IS INSTALLED ON A LONG ARM, AND BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT WHILE HE/SHE DRIVES. WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT, I MAY HIT SOMETHING THAT I COULD NOT SEE BECAUSE THE MIRROR BLOCKED IT. PICTURES ATTACHED.

PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHEDIMAGES.BOTH FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELYOPAQUE. I INCLUDING MY FRIENDS WHO EVER TRIED ARE GETTING HEADACHES WITHIN LESS THAN 2 MINS OF DRIVING. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY(COULD BE LIFE OR DEATH) ISSUE AND DISTRESSED. AFTER ONE WHOLE WEEK OF TRYING TO REACH THE DEALER OVER PHONE, I PHYSICALLY WENT OVER TO THE DEALER AND THEN THE DEALER TOLD ME, "WE CAN'T MAKE ANY DECISIONS RIGHT NOW WITHOUT CONSULTING TOYOTA". THEY ALSO REFUSEDTO PROVIDE ME TEMPORARY LOANERVEHICLE. THIS BRAND NEW CAR IS SIMPLY UN-DRIVABLE. PLEASE ADVISE. ALSO ATTACHED IS PICTURE FROM SIDE WINDOWS WHICH IS GOOD CLEAR, FOR COMPARISON.

HOSES TO THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT ARE LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER FOOT WELL WHICH CAUSES THEM TO BE KICKED LOOSED AT ANY TIME RESULTING IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FLOODING WITH REFRIGERANT/COOLANT AND OTHER FLUIDS.

SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT DEALER DID NOT PERFORM A PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION AS IT WAS DONE BY THE DISTRIBUTOR, SOUTHEAST TOYOTA.. SAID I WOULD BE CONTACTED. NOTHING HEARD TO DATE. BELIEVE THIS COULD HAVE EASILY LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL OR WORSE IF A POTHOLE WAS STRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

AIRBAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT . AT A INTERSECTION IN SAN DIEGO,CA

I HAVE HAD MY TOYOTA CAMRY APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ALMOST SINCE THE BEGINNING THAT THE AUTO DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE PARTICULAR PROBLEMS AT DUSK AND DAWN. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE HOWEVER THEY HAVE BEEN UNRESPONSIVE. I FIND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE GLARING AND DISTRACTING AND I HAVE TO TIP THE MIRROR DOWN SOMETIMES IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE AS SAFE AS IT SHOULD BE IN MY OPINION. YOUR HELP TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

WHEN DRIVING OVER MEDIUM SIZED BUMPS IN THE DRIVEWAY, OR GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, THE FRAME OF THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TWISTING AT WHICH POINT YOU CAN HERE A POPPING NOISE. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE SUSPENSION, BUT MORE SO FROM THE TOP OF THE C-POST (REAR ROOF). I DO NOT FEEL IT IS A HUGE ISSUE, BUT I FEEL LIKE THE BODY METAL IS BENDING EACH TIME. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP TO THE DEALERSHIP YET, BUT AFTER READING THROUGH SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT DOESN'T SOUND TO ABNORMAL FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN TO THE CAMRY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED UP AND DOWN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE SEAT MOVED TO THE STEERING AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT RECLINED TO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SILSBEE TOYOTA IN SILSBEE, TX), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE WITHOUT DUPLICATING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 700.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAKING LEFT TURNS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. *DT *JB

I BOUGHT A NEW 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IN APRIL 2017 AND SOON THEREAFTER STARTED NOTICING SOME UNUSUAL, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND JERKING DURING SLOWING DOWN/DECELERATION. THE CAR JERKS AND TRIES TO MAINTAIN SPEED AGAINST THE DRIVER'S INTENTION TO SLOW DOWN GRADUALLY AND/OR STOP, SPECIFICALLY NOTICEABLE AT 20 AND 30 MPH SPEEDS. DURING SLOW DOWN, SEEMS LIKE CAR SWITCHES GEAR ABNORMALLY TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SLOWING DOWN GRADUALLY. IT TRIES TO MAINTAIN SPEED FOR AN UNUSUALLY LONG TIME INSTEAD OF SMOOTHLY SLOWING DOWN WITH NO FOOT ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL, CAUSING TOO MUCH USE OF BRAKE OVER AND OVER TO SLOW IT DOWN AND AVOID COLLISION WITH CAR IN FRONT OF YOU, SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I AM CONTACTING YOU AFTER EXHAUSTING ALL MY EFFORTS TO CONVINCE DEALER AND THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE TO HAVE THEM TAKE THIS 'UNINTENDED ACCELERATION' SAFETY CONCERN SERIOUSLY AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I AM SURE LOTS OF 2017 CAMRY OWNERS ARE SUFFERING AND FRUSTRATED WITH THE SAME ISSUE, BUT CANNOT GET ANYWHERE WITH DEALER TECH SERVICES OR TOYOTA.

CPSC:THE HOOD OF THE TOYOTA CAMRY LE YEAR 2017 MODEL IS RAISED TOO HIGH IN RELATION TO THE DASH. IT SHOULD NOT BE SOLD TO PEOPLE WHOSE HEIGHT IS 5 FEET 3 INCHES OR LESS. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THAT DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH LIMITED VIEW OF THE CAR SIDES OVER THE HOOD CAUSES ANXIETY ABOUT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPDATED 06/13/2017*JS

RODENTS ATE FUEL INJECTOR HARNESS AND INTAKE AIR VALVE

The batter has been bad since the beginning. Even the original battery would right away leak and leave a lot of residue. My car since the beginning has told me there is something wrong with the power system. But Toyota keeps insisting that it’s just a random message. And that they don’t know why it says it. It’s concerning because I constantly need to get a new battery. The other thing is that. When I unlock my car. Either the passenger side or the drivers side doesn’t lock or unlock. It’s mostly scary for me because there are times that I’m not in the safest area and I struggle to open it manually. I also have a few other friends that have the same car as I do and same year and they are also having the same problem. And the third thing is the ac system just decided to only work when it wants to. It seems like it’s a faulty system.

AT 4500 MILES THE NORMAL INDICATORS OF "NEED MAINTENANCE SOON" APPEARED ON THE ALERT SCREEN. SOON THEREAFTER I HAD A "CHECK BRAKING SYSTEM" LIGHT COME ON WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE MODE CAUSING THE PARKING BRAKE SIGN TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH I LET GO OF THE FOOT BRAKE. DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ERRONEOUS ALARM. I WAS ALSO ASKED IF I SPENT TIME DRIVING THE CAR WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ON THE ACCELERATOR SIMULTANEOUSLY (WHICH OF COURSE I DID NOT). THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER DRIVING 20 MILES AND IN PARK, THE ALERT SYSTEM SHOWED "CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM". THE MANUAL STATES THIS IS A SERIOUS ALERT AND DRIVING THE CAR WITH THIS ON COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO TELL ME AFTER A THOROUGH INSPECTION THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND TO ONLY WORRY IF THE ALERT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN GIVEN AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THESE ALARMS ARE CONTINUING TO COME ON. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ALL THESE ALARMS HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT I HAVE TO TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY AT ALL TIMES.

I BEEN EXPERIENCING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY MAYBE ABOUT 3 TO 5 HOURS INTO DRIVING. THE CAR JERKS AND PICKS UP SPEED A FEW MILES PER HOUR. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO. I HAVE MANY ATTEMPTS WITH THE DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT BUT THE PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN DUPLICATED. THE CAR ALSO HAS A SLUGGISH TAKE OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSMISSION DRAGGING AT TIMES. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE AND MORE PHOTOS. THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD ALSO GIVES INCORRECT SPEED RATINGS.

TAKARA RECALL WHEN I START AC OR HIT ON MY CAR I FEEL SICK LIKE HEADACHES ALWAYS

BRIDGESTONE DRIVEGUARD TIRES ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO SIDEWALL DAMAGE FROM POTHOLES! I HAVE 225 45 18 TIRES ON MY 2012 CAMRY. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIRE I'VE HAD THE SIDEWALL FAIL THE EXACT SAME WAY SINCE BUYING THEM 2 YEARS AGO. THIS TIME IT WAS WHILE PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AT MAYBE 20 MPH. EVERY TIME THERE IS A 3 TO 4 INCH CUT ALONG THE BEAD OF THE TIRE THROUGH THE CORDS. I WORK FOR FIRESTONE AND HAVE SEEN THE SAME PATTERN MANY TIMES ON VARIOUS CAR, NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO SIZE. IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR TO ME THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE FOR REAL WORLD USE

ON JANUARY 25, 2017 AT APPROX. 7:37 PM I STARTED UP THE VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT IN MOTION. BEFORE PLACING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION I NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON. I THEN CHECKED THE PARKING BRAKE AND IT WAS IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO MOTION AND BOTH LIGHTS REMAINED ON. AT APPROX. 7:45 PM I WAS DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH. AT ABOUT 7:47 PM ALL OF THE SUDDEN I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE FROM 60 MPH TO SPEEDS OF APPROX. 40-45 MPH. SIMULTANEOUSLY, I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE IN SPEED SO THAT IS WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT STILL THE VEHICLE DID NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. TAKING NOTICE OF MY IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, SO I USED MY LEFT FOOT TO DOUBLE CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE POSITION AND IT REMAINED IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). NOT REALIZING WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE, I PANICKED AT THAT MOMENT AND I PRESSED DOWN ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A DITCH CAUSING PERSONAL MINOR HEAD INJURY TO MYSELF AND MY FRONT PASSENGER. THE DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE FRONT AND REAR FENDER WERE PROVED OBVIOUS DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE CLAIM WERE FILED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AND WAS LATER DRIVEN TO MY HOUSE AND REMAINS IN THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL INVESTIGATED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT TOYOTA CAMRY XLE V6 2017. THIS CAR HAS VERY SENSITIVE STEERING AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY. THERE IS A 1-2 DEGREES OF VERY LOOSE, FLUID, NO-RESISTANT MOVEMENT SPACE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE LACK OF ANY RESISTANCE IN THE STEERING MAKES THE DRIVER NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP CORRECTING THE STEERING FOR THE CAR TO STAY IN LANE. ACTUALLY, A SLIGHTEST PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MAKE THE CAR TO JUMP IN THAT DIRECTION. THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT ALSO REQUIRES A LOT OF CONCENTRATION AND IT MAKES ME TIRED, ESPECIALLY MY HANDS. MY CAR HAS ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEMS (EPS). I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER SHOP. THEY CHECKED IT WITH A COMPUTER AND THERE WERE NO EPS FAULTS. ALL CAME OK. THEIR HELP ENDED THERE. THIS HOWEVER DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.
