2005 Toyota Camry complaints

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES VEHICLE MADE NOISES, ENGINE ACCELERATED, AND VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE DEALER TOLD THE OWNER THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THEREFORE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *AK *BF *NM

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION 11 TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AFTER EACH INCIDENT, BUT THE CAUSE WAS STILL UNDETERMINED.*AK *JB

VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC AND THEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE IS OKAY. MANUFACTURER STATES THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.*AK.....VEHICLE HAS A HESITATION PROBLEM. ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS CONSUMER WAS PLACED IN DANGER OF CROSSING A BYSY HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE...AT ALL. THE ENGINE HAS A ONE MINUTE DELAY BETWEEN THE TINE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED TO THE TIME THE RPMS BEGIN TO GO UP. FURTHERMORE, WHEN CROSSING AN UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION ON A HIGHWAY WITH 55+ MPH TRAFFIC THE HESITATION CAN LAND CONSUMER'S VEHICLE IN THE ONCOMING LANE TOO LATE. THE LUNGE THAT AKES PLACE WHEN VEHICLE FINALLY DOES ACCELERATE, IS A VERY JERKY AND UNSAFE RIDE. *AK

VEHICLE REVS AND LUNGES WHEN STOPPED AND IN DRIVE. THIS OCCURS REGULARILY AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD MY WIFE THAT IT WAS "INHERRENT" WITH THE CAMRY. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.*AK

CONCERNS WITH DESIGN FLAW WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY.*MR THE CONSUMER STATED THE DISTANCE IN WHICH THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST MOVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JB

WHILE ACCELERATING VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD TICKING NOISE AUDIBLE FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND OUTSIDE. ONLY HEARD WHILE THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. AT THIS TIME NO NOTICABLE MALFUNCTION OF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN DETECTED. DEALER SAYS "THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT IT IS LOUDER THAN SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR EQUIPMENT. *AK

TOYOTA CAMRY XLE 2005, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. *BF AS THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR FROM A STOP THAT IS WHEN THE FEELING OF STALLING WOULD OCCUR. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A LINKAGE CABLE, BUT A SENSOR AT THE GAS PEDAL; UPON DEPRESSING THE PEDAL THE COMPUTER DOES ALL THE REST AND HESITATION IS NORMAL. *JB

VEHICLE HESITATED THEN LAUNCHED FORWARD BEFORE ACCELERATING. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. DEALERSHIP INDICATED TECHNICALLY THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS IT SHOULD, BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE NEW DRIVE BY WIRE TECHNOLOGY FOR WHICH MANUFACTURER HAD TO PROVIDE A REMEDY.*AK

WHILE BRAKING BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL SINK COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. ONCE THE CAR REACHED ABOUT 5000 MILES, IT WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN LUNGE FORWARD SEVERAL FEET, STOP, MAKE A MOANING SOUND, THEN LUNGE FORWARD AGAIN; ALL WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY FAULT LIGHTS COME ON MY DASHBOARD. IT THEN DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT 10 MILES WHEN THE SAME PATTERN REPEATED ITSELF AGAIN, EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, OR REPEAT THE PROBLEM. THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO RETURN WHEN THE PROBLEM REPEATS ITSELF. OF COURSE, I?M HESITANT TO DO THIS SINCE THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE MAY GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE HELP! *JB

CONSUMER REQUEST THAT AN AIR BAG ON/OFF SWITCH BE INSTALLED IN HER 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. *NM THE CONSUMER HAD TO SIT CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO REACH THE PEDAL COMFORTABLY. THIS WAS THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST. *SC

EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT REQUIRED TO SLOW VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. ENGINE "PUSHING" VEHICLE WHILST BRAKING. POOR FUEL ECONOMY (AVG 20 MPG FOR 4-CYL AUTO. POSTED FIGURES 24/34). ERRATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. NOTICEABLE DELAY WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. NUMEROUS NEAR-ACCIDENTS DUE TO DELAY IN ACCELERATION.*AK

TOYOTA CAMRY LE MODEL HAS THREE PROBLEMS: IDLE CONTROL IS ABOVE 2400, ROD THAT HOLD PISTON IS NOT SECURE TO HOLD IT TIGHT AND CAUSING THE PISTON TO JIGGLE AROUND, TOYOTA SAID THAT IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE. AND WEATHER SEAL IS INADAQUATE, YOU CAN HEAR ALL TRAFFICE NOISE WITH RADIO ON FULL VOLUME. DEALER IS VERY UNFRIENDLY AND THEY GAVE ME RUN AROUND, THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AND STILL HAS SAME PROBLEMS I HAD BEFORE THEY REPLACE THE ENGINE AND HAS NOT FIX THE OTHER PROBLEMS AND REFUSES TO GIVE ANYONE ELSE'S NAME TO TALK TO. 800# TELLS ME TO CALL DEALER AND DEALER TELLS ME TO CALL 800# AND STILL UNABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY TOYOTA OR RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. BECOUSE OF THE POOR SERVICE WHEN YOU HAVE PROBLEM THEY DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO YOU AND THEY GIVE YOU RUN AROUND.*AK

2005 TOYOTA SE V6 HAS NOTICEABLE HESITATION PROBLEMS AT LOW SPEEDS. COULD BE DANGEROUS AT FASTER SPEEDS. TOYOTA CURRENTLY HAS NO FIX, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. *JB

WHILE THE DRIVER'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND PULLED OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED.*AK

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. I TRUCK TURNED IN FRONT ON ME. HIS TRUCK HIT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE(FRONT LIGHT) AL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BACK DOOR. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR SHATTERED THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. IF THE SIDE CURTAIN SIDE AIR BAG WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED THE GLASS WOULD HAVE CUT ME UP AND THE MIRROR WOULD HAVE HIT ME IN THE FACE. *NM

2005 TOYOTA CAMRY LE V6 GRADUALLY SPEED UP TO ABOUT 25 MPH. STOP SHORT (YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOCK THEM UP, BUT STOP QUICKLY) THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN. WHEN I STOP SHORT, MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL, AND IT TAKES ABOUT 3 SECONDS TO SHIFT BACK INTO FIRST. WHEN IT DOES, I GET QUITE A JOLT. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER, THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NORMAL. *NM

PURCHASED NEW, 2005, TOYOTA CAMRY XLE ON DECEMBER 21, 2004. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER ON DECEMBER 23, 2004 DUE TO SEVERE PROBLEM WITH ALIGNMENT OF FRONT END. CAR VEERS TOWARD LEFT IF NOT HOLDING STEERING WHEEL TIGHTLY TO PREVENT VEERING. SERVICE DEPARTMENT RELEASES CAR, STATING FAULTY FLANGE, SPRING, AND BOLT. DOES NOT REPLACE FAULTY PARTS, HAS TO ORDER. CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT DEALER DOES NOT PROVIDE LOANER. TOLD TO DRIVE CAR UNTIL REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, AT AN UNSPECIFIED TIME, UP TO 3 MONTHS WAIT. MEANWHILE, STEERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. UNECESSARY WEAR AND TEAR ON TIRES. *AK

THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK WINDOW HAS HAD A WHISLEING SOUND SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE CAR WAS MADE THAT IT WASN'T VERY SOUND PROOF BUT WHEN I RODE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE IT DIDN'T MAKE THE SOUND. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WEATHERSTRIPPING OR THE WAY THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SEALS. *AK

THE PANEL WHICH HELD THE AIR BAG DEVELOPED A HOLE. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MAY NOT PERFORM IF NEEDED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAD A HOLE INSIDE. IT WAS DISCOVERED WHILE CLEANING THE LEATHER. AFTER THE SERVICE MANAGER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND THEN ANOTHER VEHICLE OF SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL, HE DETERMINED THERE WAS A HOLE. ALSO, AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALER STATED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT. HOWEVER HE WOULD NOT REPAIR THE HOLE.*AK
