I PURCHASED A TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AND MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT DESPITE THE FACT THAT I RECEIVED THE REQUIRE MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE. I AM STILL PAYING A CAR NOTE ON THIS VEHICLE,BUT CAN NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS TO TOYOTA AND INITIALLY JACK TAYLORS AND DAR CARS OF TOYOTA STATED THEY COULD TAKE 10% OFF THE 4800 THEY QUOTED ME. I FELT DISRESPECTED AND INSULTED BECAUSE I HAVE BROUGHT SEVERAL CARS FROM TOYOTA AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY MAJOR ISSUES.AS A SINGLE MOTHER AND PERSON THAT IS STILL PAYING A CAR NOTE, I DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I THEN EXPLORED OTHER ALTERNATIVES , SO THAT I CAN SHOP FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE AT OTHER TRANSMISSIONS SHOP. THE FIRST SHOP I WENT YOU WAS A-1 TRANSMISSION(SUITLAND, MD)AND THEY INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN TOYOTAS CAMRY REGARDING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I THEN TOOK IT TO COTTMAN'S TRANSMISSION(WALDORF, MD) AND MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THIS IS COMMON ISSUE IN TOYOTA. REPORTEDLY, HE STATED THAT THERE ARE DEFECTS WITH SOME OF THE BOLTS AND THINGS THEY USE. I DECIDED TO GO WITH COTTMANS BECAUSE OF THEIR REPUTATION AND PRICE. ALSO, BECAUSE THEY OFFERED THE BEST WARRANTY( 3YEAR). TOYOTA JACK TAYLOR, ALEXANDIRA,VA PHONED ME A COUPLE DAYS AFTER , STATING THAT THEY COULD GIVE ME 50% OFF THEPRICE, HOWEVER, IT WAS BEING WORK ON IN THE SHOP, SO I ASK IF THEY COULD PAY HALF THE PRICE THAT COTTMAN'S WAS GIVING ME AND THEY SAID "NO". I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING PENALIZED FOR TOYOTA'S DEF

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE PURCHASED IN THOUSAND OAKS CA AT DCH TOYOTA.

THE CAR HAS APPROX. 43000 MILES - THEY AND I WERE BOTH SHOCKED THAT 3 OUT OF 4 WERE LEAKING. SHOP RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE ALL FOUR STRUTS FOR $1500. WAS TOLD IF I DIDN'T HAVE THEM REPLACED IT WOULD EVENTUALLY AFFECT MY SUSPENSION. TOOK CAR NEXT TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR RECALL, AND HAD THEM CHECK STRUTS TOO. THEY INDICATED THAT ONLY BOTH REAR STRUTS WERE LEAKING, AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT TOO - NOT URGENT BUT SOON. CALLED ANOTHER INDEPENDENT TOYOTA SHOP - THIS SHOP SAID THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE TO CLARIFY WHAT IS A TRUE LEAK, AND THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY. I AM SHOCKED THAT TOYOTA DEALER DIDN'T MENTION SERVICE BULLETIN TO ME. SO, I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM OR NOT. I WILL HAVE STRUTS LOOKED AT AGAIN AT NEXT SERVICE APPT. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT STRUTS WERE BADLY CRACKED, THE CAR HAS 44000 MILES. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT THEY WERE CRACKED, MUST BE HITTING POTHOLES OR DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS TOO FAST. WAS TOLD IF I DIDN'T HAVE THEM REPLACED IT WOULD RUIN MY TIRES & BREAKS. HAD THEM REPLACED BUT DID SOME CHECKING ON-LINE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE-FOR SOME IT WAS REPLACING THE STRUTS AT 30000 MILES. THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME. NOW THE DEALER, AFTER I'VE PRESENTED THIS INFORMATION HAS REIMBURSED ME FOR THE PARTS AND THEN I WAS EVEN OFFERED A GREAT DEAL ON A BRAND NEW CAR. THIS SEEMS VERY STRANGE. DOES TOYOTA KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT STRUTS AND NOT OWING UP TO IT? STRUTS SHOULDN'T GO AT 30,000 OR 44,000 MILES. *TR

THE RUBBER DETERIORATES OVER TIME AND CAN UNEXPECTEDLY BREAK OR RUPTURE FROM 19,000 TO OVER 100,000 MILES AND CAN LEAD TO VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS WHEN RUNNING THE ENGINE WITHOUT OIL CAUSING SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. MOST OWNERS REPORTED THERE WAS NO WARNING FROM THE OIL OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY NOTICED A PUDDLE OF OIL ON THE GROUND. THE MANUFACTURING FIX WAS INSTITUTED IN NORTH AMERICA PLANTS IN APRIL 2008. THE ASSEMBLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE METAL AND RUBBER ASSEMBLY WITH AN ALL METAL OIL LINE.

I OWN A 2007 CAMRY CE. LAST MONTH I NOTICED THE OIL LAMP WAS ON BUT MY OIL CHANGE WASN'T DUE FOR ANOTHER 2000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY TOPPED OFF THE OIL AND ASKED ME TO RETURN AT 1000 MILES. I DID AND THE OIL WAS AGAIN LOW. THEY TOPPED IT OFF AGAIN AND ASKED ME TO RETURN AT 500 MILES-I DID. I LEFT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT AT THE DEALER'S REQUEST BECAUSE THE OIL WAS BEING CONSUMED AT A CERTAIN RATE AND COULDN'T BE EXPLAINED. I RECEIVED A CALL THE NEXT DAY TO LET ME KNOW THAT THEY DON'T KNOW THE PROBLEM AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO "REBUILT" THE ENGINE AT A COST OF $6900 PLUS TAX. UNFORTUNATELY, MY WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 60K MILES AND I HAVE 62K MILES NOW. I HAD LESS THAN $61K MILES WHEN THIS ALL STARTED SO I'M ONLY OUT OF WARRANTY BY A FEW HUNDRED MILES! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF REPAIR FOR A VEHICLE I'VE TAKEN CARE OF WITH OIL CHANGES EVERY 5K MILES. I REFUSE TO PAY MORE THAN I OWE ON THIS VEHICLE AND I WILL SEEK HELP FROM THE MEDIA IF TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO THE RIGHT THING. FIX IT W/O BREAKING THE BANK! *TR

I OWN A TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 SE. I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE FOR A PROBLEM REPORTED BY OTHERS: MOMENTARY HESITATION IN ACCELERATION WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. I HAVE HAD THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THIS IS JUST HOW IT IS MADE. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT A CRITICAL TIME. IN ADDITION, I HAD ANOTHER ODD EXPERIENCE. I HAD STARTED THE CAR WHILE IN MY GARAGE, FASTENED MY SEAT BELT, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND UNFORTUNATELY REACHED FOR THE OPEN CAR DOOR AT THE SAME TIME I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. THE CAR LURCHED BACKWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR DOOR TOOK OUT SHELVING AND MY CHEST FREEZER AND THE WHEELS WERE STILL SPINNING AND HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE AND OVER $3,000 DAMAGE TO MY CAR. OF COURSE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND THEY CHECKED IT AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. THERE WERE NO BULLETINS ON THIS ISSUE. THEY MADE ME FEEL STUPID AND SAID THAT OBVIOUSLY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS. I KNOW THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK. WITH ALL OF THE RECALL ISSUES, I AM BECOMING FRIGHTENED ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR!! *TR

ON 4/3/10, UNINTENDED ACCELERATOR "FIX" PER TOYOTA LETTER WAS PERFORMED ON OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE (VANN YORK TOYOTA IN HIGH POINT, NC). ON 4/12/10, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 35MPH ON A CITY STREET, MAINTAINING CONSTANT ACCELERATION; THEN, SHE REMOVED THE FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR AS SHE HEADED TOWARD AN INTERSECTION, WHEN SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE SPEED DRASTICALLY INCREASED (I.E. REVVED UP LIKE WHEN THE DRIVER STEPS ON THE ACCELERATOR TO ACHIEVE A FAST VELOCITY RATE OF CHANGE); HOWEVER, THE CAR VELOCITY DECREASED AND SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES TO GET TO THE INTERSECTION AND MAKE A RIGHT TURN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE SUDDEN ENGINE SPEED INCREASE LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS; AFTERWARDS, THE ENGINE SPEED WENT BACK TO THE NORMAL (PREVIOUS) LEVEL. AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION, THERE WAS NO RE-OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE, AND MY WIFE AND 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER MADE IT HOME SAFE. THE SUDDEN ENGINE SPEED INCREASES HAVE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES IN OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SINCE WE BOUGHT IT LATE 2006. WE HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE, AS WELL AS WHAT FEELS LIKE INFREQUENT TIRE SLIPPAGES TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS (IN PHOENIX AND GREENSBORO), BUT THEY HAVE NEVER FOUND ANY ISSUES WHILE INSPECTING THE CAR. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT EVEN AFTER TOYOTA HAS RECOMMENDED THE ACCELERATOR "FIX" (THEY CHANGED THE SHAPE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND MADE AN UPDATE TO THE ENGINE THROTTLE COMPUTER) AND THE FIX HAS BEEN APPLIED TO OUR CAR, IT CONTINUES TO BEHAVE IN THE MANNER DESC

I WAS DRIVING FOR WORK WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007. WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, AROUND THE END OF THE RAMP, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH NO CONTROLS WORKING FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT EITHER FOR THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE BRAKE. IN A MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE WENT A FEW TIMES IN A ZIG-ZAG MANNER AND SUBSEQUENTLY HIT A SEMI-TRAILER WHICH WAS SOUTHBOUND ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY SMASHED IN THE FRONT AND TOTALED LATER. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER MY CAR WENT THROUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPLACEMENT AS PER RECOMMENDATION OF THE TOYOTA RECALL PROCEDURE. I COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT. I GOT A TRAFFIC TICKET FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE AFTER HAVING A TICKET-FREE DRIVING RECORD FOR THE PAST 11+ YEARS. I AM PLEADING 'NOT GUILTY' FOR THIS TICKET BECAUSE THE DEFECTIVE TOYOTA CAR WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT AND NOT MY ERROR. *TR

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY 2007. I HAD EXPERIENCED THE RPM SHOOTING UP IN LOW ACCELERATION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIR IN EARLY FEB 2010, BUT THE DEALER DETECTED NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AS THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND IT HAPPENED FREQUENTLY, SO I TOOK THE VIDEO OF SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER, AND WENT BACK TO DEALER WITH THE VIDEO. MECHANICS AT THE DEALER TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH COMPUTER HOOKED TO MY CAR, AND I DROVE THE CAR WITH THEM. BUT AGAIN, THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF TOYOTA VEHICLES, AND ASKED ME TO COME BACK IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. TOYOTA DID NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIR AT THAT TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER THIS VISIT TO THE DEALER, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS FREQUENTLY. I MAY HAVE NOTICED IT FEW TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH ALTHOUGH I FEEL THAT ACCELERATION SEEM UNSTEADY. NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM AS REPORTED ON THE NEWS. HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM I HAVE MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE THE VIDEO IF IT CAN HELP NHTSA'S CURRENT INVESTIGATION FOR SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF TOYOTA VEHICLES. THE CONSUMER FELT THE TRANSMISSION TEMPORARILY DISENGAGED OR DOWN SHIFTED TEMPORARILY. THE RPM JUMPED ABOUT 200-500 RPMS MOMENTARILY. WHEN IT HAPPENED, THE CONSUMER FELT AN ABRUPT, BUT SLIGHT JERK, BUT IT DIDN'T ACCELERATE IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. UPDATED 04/29/10 *JB

SHE STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS SHE COULD. THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY FISH-TAILED A BIT BEFORE IT STOPPED WITHIN INCHES OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER.

THE SECOND TIME, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE RE-CREATED AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE. THE DEALER DID INSTALL A NEW ACCELERATOR IN THE VEHICLE. *JB

HE APPLIED THE BRAKES IN A PANIC STOP, BUT THE VEHICLE INSTANTLY SPUN AROUND TO THE RIGHT BARELY MISSING ANOTHER CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE AND HEADED FOR A GROUP OF TREES OFF THE GRASSY RIGHT HAND SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. HE WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL BY RELEASING THE BRAKE AND STEERING OUT OF THE SPIN. BUT, HE OVERCORRECTED AND CROSSED THE HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC AGAIN, AND ALMOST T-BONED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH IN THE MEDIAN OF THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK IT WOULD ACCELERATE. MY CAR HAD TWO RECALLS. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR DURING MOST OF THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY. THEY CALLED ME AND INDICATED THE CAR WAS REPAIRED. DROVE CAR TO WORK AND CAR ACCELERATED AGAIN. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY PUT IN A NEW DRIVE SHAFT. AT THAT POINT I WAS TOO SCARED TO GET BACK IN CAR. I HAD NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND I DON'T REALLY THINK THEY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AS IT WAS STILL UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I COULD NOT GET BACK IN THAT CAR NOR COULD I AFFORD TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. I QUALIFIED FOR THEIR 0% FINANCING ON A 2010 NEW PRODUCTION WITH NO RECALL AND FREE TWO YEAR MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT. I FELT TRAPPED WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO BUY THE CAR AS I HAD PUT $11,000 ON THE 2007 WHICH WAS A LOSS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT OR TICKET UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS CAR. *TR

DUE TO MY VEHICLE WARRANTY BEING EXPIRED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP MADE ME GO THREW MY INSURANCE COMPANY REFUSING TO EVEN TOUCH THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRE WAS THE FIRST OF THAT KIND THAT THEY HAVE HEARD OF. I WAS TOLD THE FIRE STARTED BY THE WIRING IN THE DOOR BUT WHAT CAUSED THE WIRING TO CATCH ON FIRE. THEY TOLD ME THAT ALL THE WIRING IN THE DOOR AND THE DOOR PANEL IS BEING REPLACED. AS OF NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS HOLDING THE PARTS UNTIL TOYOTA PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS DEPARTMENT CONTACTS THEM. *TR

CAR HAD A BURNING OIL SMELL THAT GREW STRONGER DURING ONE DAY. FINALLY HEARD A SMALL TICKING NOISE AS I CAME CLOSE TO HOME, SMELL WAS WORSE AND I CONNECTED THE TWO... HURRIED HOME 5 BLOCKS AWAY. OIL TRAIL BEHIND MY CAR TO THE HOME. CHECKED OIL, REQUIRED 4.5 QUARTS OF OIL TO BRING IT BACK TO LEVEL. RESEARCHED ON LINE TOYOTA OWNERS FORUM, MENTION OF OIL PIPE FROM CRANKCASE TO UPPER HEAD AREA LEAKING. A RUBBER HOSE THAT CONNECTED TWO METAL HOSES FAILED ON OTHER TOYOTAS, RAVS AND SOMETHING ELSE. CALLED TOYOTA REGARDING OIL LEAKS.. GAVE THEM MY VIN # AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR DIDN'T FALL INTO A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND MILEAGE WAS OVER 60K... EVEN THOUGH IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE THE OTHER CARS THAT ARE COVERED. CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER, BROUGHT THE CAR IN, RELATED TO THE SERVICE WRITER MY EXPERIENCE AS A SERVICE WRITER AND MECHANIC, ASKED IF HE COULD MAKE EXCEPTION OR CHECK WITH AREA REP. HE DID, REPAIR AS WERE COVERED FOR ME, BUT ONLY BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND A GOOD SERVICE WRITER. CONCERNED THAT MANY OTHERS THAT DON'T HAVE MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE OR GOOD EARS WON'T CATCH THIS, ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT IF NOT CAUGHT IN TIME AND TOYOTA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR A WIDER RANGE OF CARS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER HOSE IN BETWEEN THE TWO LINES, APPARENTLY THERE IS A BETTER FIX, A COMPLETELY METAL OIL LINE THAT PREVENTS OIL BREAKING DOWN THE RUBBER HOSE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REMOVING HER FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD ABNORMALLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 45,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CONTACT TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND SUDDENLY CRASHED INTO A MAILBOX. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED FOR THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY CENTER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE WEEKS AFTER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL) RECALL REMEDY REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 2001. FROM ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE GAS PEDAL SOMETIMES GETS STUCK. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, AND I HIT THE GAS PEDAL, IT SOMETIMES DOES NOT DEPRESS. I HAVE TO PUT A LOT OF BODY WEIGHT ON IT TO GET IT TO DEPRESS. THIS CAUSES INITIAL SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING QUITE OFTEN OFF LATE.

I WANTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY RE. THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM, FOR YOU TO SHARE WITH YOUR ENGINEERS. I LEASED MY 2007 CAMRY IN AUGUST 2007 (VIN [XXX]), A 4 CYLINDER MODEL. APPROXIMATELY A YEAR LATER, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY PASSING A CAR WHEN I NEEDED A SUDDEN BURST OF SPEED, SO I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR HARD. (I WAS USED TO A 6 CYLINDER WHICH REACTS INSTANTLY.) THE ACCELERATOR SEEMED TO STICK AND I EXPERIENCED A RACING ENGINE THAT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE CAR BY PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL AND BRAKING (NEEDLESS TO SAY, A LITTLE SHAKEN). AFTER I TURNED IT OFF, I IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND AGAIN IT RACED. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. AFTER RESTARTING IT, IT REACTED NORMALLY. I CAREFULLY DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS GIVEN THE FLOOR MAT EXPLANATION WHICH I ACCEPTED. I DID IN FACT HAVE MY FLOOR MATS LOOSE AND NOT IN THE PEGS. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A RECURRENCE. MY PERCEPTION IS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED WHEN I STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND RESTARTING WITHOUT INCIDENT, I AM SPECULATING THAT THE IGNITION SYSTEM WAS ABLE TO RESET ITSELF. THAT'S WHY I SUSPECT THE PROBLEM MAY BE ELECTRICAL OR THE VEHICLE COMPUTER, AND NOT MECHANICAL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HEARD A LOAD NOICE ON A CAMRY HYBIRD 2007: AND WHENI TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICE CHECK , THE DEALER INFORMED ME WITH A FAILED WATER BUMP NOT COVERED UNDER TOYOTA WARRENTY -AT A LOW LOW MILAGE 60,800

I WENT TO "CHAMPION TOYOTA HOUSTON, TX 77034" FOR RECALL PROBLEM ON MARCH 19TH. THE SERVICE ADVISOR NAMED JACY BLAIR SIGNED ME ON AND GAVE ME AN APPOINMENT FOR NEXT DAY MORNING( 9:00 AM I GUESS). WHILE I WAS THERE, I FEEL LIKE CHECKING MY BREAKS TOO SO I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT THAT AND SHE CALLED HER TECHNICIAN. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME TO FIX MY BREAKS RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE ITS SEFTY PROBLEM AND ADVISE ME TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE FOR THAT DAY COS THEY HAVE TO FIX "RECALL THING" TOO. I AGGRED AND REMIND HIM NOT TO FORGET ABOUT " RECALL THING" AGAIN BEFORE I LEFT. NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME AND LEFT A MASSAGE IN MY PHONE THAT MY CAR IS READY . I WENT THERE AND PAID $ 480.00 FOR FIXING THE BREAKS AND DROVE BACK HOME. WHEN I LOOK AT THE INVOICE AT HOME I DIDN'T SEE ANY THING WRITTEN ABOUT " RECALL THING" SO I CALLED THEM BACK AND TALKED WITH JACY AGAIN AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY GAVE ME THE CAR WITHOUT FIXING THE "RECALL THING". I WAS BIT OF ANGRY AND I ASKED HER TO PICK MY CAR FROM HOME, FIX IT AND RETURN TO ME. SHE SAID THAT HER SENIOR MANAGER GONNA GIVE ME A CALL WITHIN FIFTEEN MIN. AND HANG UP THE PHONE. I WAITED FOR 1\2 HOUR BUT NO ONE CALLED ME SO I CALLED HER AGAIN AND SHE TRANSFER THE PHONE TO OTHER GUY ( 10 MIN. WIAT) WHO DIDN'T WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND TRANSFER TO ANOTHER GUY ( 20 MIN WAIT ). THE LAST PERSON WAS NICE AND ACCEPTED THE MISTAKE AND AGREED TO PICK UP MY CAR AT HOME NEXT SATURDAY AND FIX IT. HE CALLED ME AGAIN LAST FRIDAY TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS AND TOLD ME
