2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATES THE VEHICLE HAS LOSS VALUE BECAUSE OF TWO RECALLS FOR UNCONTROLLED RAPID ACCELERATION *TGW

TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID HAS AN INSUFFICIENT WARNING LABEL ON THE HIGH VOLTAGE SERVICE PLUG. THE SMALL TYPE AND THE TINY INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS ARE NOT RECOGNIZABLE UNTIL YOU TAKE CAP OUT TO READ THE MESSAGE. AFTER I REMOVED THE CAP TO READ THE MESSAGE, I DISCOVERED IT WAS A WARNING MESSAGE NOT TO REMOVE THE CAP. I WAS INDEED FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. AS IT WAS, I DISABLED MY CAR AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SERVICE MODULE RESET. AFTER ALTERING MY TRAVEL PLANS AND TOWING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY PUSHING THE CAP DOWN AND DRIVING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPROGRAMMING. IF THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER HAD GIVEN ME THE INFORMATION I REQUESTED, I COULD HAVE AVOIDED CONSIDERABLE WASTED TIME AND EXPENSE. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT AND HAD FOUND A HANDICAPPED SPACE FOR MY WIFE. THE CAR WAS SLOWLY INCHING FORWARD WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE CONTROLLING ITS FORWARD MOTION. SUDDENLY IT LURCHED FORWARD, OVER A CURB AND INTO A HANDICAP SIGN SUPPORT POLE, WHICH IN TURN BENT FORWARD AND KNOCKED A CAST STONE STATUE AGAINST A PAINTED PANEL ATTACHED TO THE RESTAURANT WALL. I WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. *TR

EARLY APRIL, I ATTEMPTED TO ROTATE TIRES ON A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER JACKING UP THE VEHICLE AND REMOVING THE LUG NUTS, I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE TIRE, DESPITE USING A TECHNIQUE OF PLACING A 2X6 ACROSS THE TIRE AND HITTING IT WITH A 3 POUND HAMMER. I SPLIT THE 2X6 WITHOUT ANY AFFECT UPON THE TIRE. I PHONED TOYOTA HQ IN NY AND SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SCHAUMBURG IL TOYOTA WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY USED A SLEDGE HAMMER TO LOOSEN THE TIRES. WHEN I RETURNED HOME AND AFTER I JACKED UP THE VEHICLE AT ALL 4 POINTS, I STILL HAD TO LAY DOWN AND USE A 3 POUND HAMMER AND HIT THE INSIDE OF THE STEEL WHEEL MULTIPLE TIMES FOR EACH WHEEL IN ORDER TO REMOVE EACH WHEEL. WITHOUT A VERY HEAVY HAMMER AND THE ACT OF HITTING THE STEEL WHEEL WITH TREMENDOUS FORCE, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE A WHEEL. SINCE I PREVIOUSLY LIFTED WEIGHTS BENCHING 390 POUNDS, I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF AVERAGE IN TERMS OF THE ABILITY TO CHANGE A TIRE. WITHOUT A VERY HEAVY HAMMER AND THE STRENGTH TO DELIVER TREMENDOUS FORCE TO THE WHEELS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY TIRE. SINCE IT IS MANDATORY FOR MANUFACTURES TO PROVIDE THE MEANS TO CHANGE TIRES IN AN EMERGENCY, TOYOTA HAS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE USER COMMUNITY TO CHANGE A TIRES. THIS CONSTITUTES AN EXTREME RISK TO OWNERS AND PASSENGERS WHERE A TIRE FAILURE OCCURS AND THERE IS NO HEAVY HAMMER AND THE INDIVIDUALS DO NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO FREE THE ON-VEHICLE WHEEL. I WROTE 3 LETTERS TO TOYOTA HQ JAPAN AND RECEIVED A PHO

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.
