2011 Toyota Camry complaints

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. NOW, THE VISOR HAS COME COMPLETELY OFF, WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET IT TO STAY BACK UP. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR 2007-2011 CAMRYS FOR THIS ISSUE. CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTT WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY AND BRACKET. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOYOTA, THEY BOTH SAID THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE OTHER CAMRYS BEING AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERING.

STARTER MOTOR FAILED TO FUNCTION. BATTERY DIAGNOSED AS FULLY CHARGED. CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT IN FULL OR IN PART PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE STARTER MOTOR BECAUSE IT EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD OF 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES.

I HAVE THIS JERKING MOVEMENT WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT HUBERT VESTER TOYOTA IN WILSON, NC WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR NOT, BUT IT STILL DOES THAT TODAY. I USED 87 OCTANE GAS, BUT I DID PUT 89 OCTANE IN THERE ONCE AND THE PROBLEM SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS? IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER LETS ME HAVE ANY WORK DONE WITHIN THE WARRANTY, I ALWAYS HAVE TO PAY. SO ARE THEY WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO WEAR OFF? ALSO, I HAVE NOT HAD ALL THESE RECALL ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF CONCERNING THE TIRES, THE OVERLOADING CAPACITY ISSUES.

DEFECTIVE SUNVISOR (LEFT) WHICH WAS A SAFETY WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT IN TOYOTA CAMRY PRODUCED BETWEEN FEB 2006 AND FEB 2010. MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN MAY 2010 AND THEREFORE NOT PART OF SAFETY. TOYOTA SHOULD CONSIDER INCREASING THE WARRANTLY ENHANCEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED OVER A CONCRETE PARKING DIVIDER. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FOOT INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR. AS SHE WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN SHE BECAME TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULDNT STOP. SHE WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE CAR SLOW DOWN OR STOP AND SHE ENDED UP SLAMMING INTO A VAN. SHE WAS BRUISED AND SCRAPPED UP CAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON SECONDARY ROAD WHEN A DRIVER FAILED TO STOP AND HIT MY CAR; FIRST IMPACT HIT AT MY DRIVERS SIDE AT FRONT LEFT OF CAR THEN ALSO SHE HIT THE LEFT BACK SIDE OF MY CAR WHICH SWUNG AROUND AT IMPACT. DRIVER STATED SHE DIDN'T SEE MY CAR. SHE WAS TICKETED AT FAULT AND BOTH OF US WERE TRANSPORTED TO HOSPITAL. MY CAR'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL, NOT EVEN THE SIDE IMPACT BAGS! I HIT MY HEAD ON EITHER THE WINDOW OR THE UPPER DOOR AND SUSTAINED A HEMATOMA ON MY TOP LEFT SKULL AND POSSIBLE CONCUSSION AS WELL AS NECK AND BACK INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. A TOYOTA OFFICIAL TOLD ME LATER THAT FROM EVERYTHING HE KNOWS, THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THIS INSTANCE,

BOTH SUN VISORS BROKE WITHIN ONE WEEK APART. THE HINGE OF THE SUN VISOR STOPPED WORKING CAUSING VISOR TO HANG IN THE FIELD OF VISION. THERE WAS NO WARNING LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 CAMRY SLE USED THROUGH THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JAN. 2014, MY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED FOR JUST OVER A YEAR BEFORE I NOTICED THIS ISSUE. I HAD BRAND NEW TIRES PUT ON THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING. NOW, A YEAR LATER, I FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS OF 55-70MPH. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED WHERE I PURCHASED THEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING CAUSING THE VIBRATION AND MY TIRES TO WEAR UNEVEN (HIGH/LOW SPOTS IN ALL TIRES). I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA (AFTER HAVING BEEN THERE THE WEEK BEFORE FOR A SERVICE) AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE ONLY LEAKING SLIGHTLY AND THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE AMOUNT LEAKING. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY LEAKING ISSUES AT MY SERVICE AND IT WAS EVEN NOTED THAT THEY WERE CHECKED AND FINE. I REPLACED THE FRONT TWO TIRES AGAIN A BOUT A MONTH AGO THINKING IT MIGHT SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS STILL A VIBRATION AND NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THEY TYPICALLY GET REPLACED AT $70,000 BUT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THEM AND THAT I SHOULD RETURN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED SINCE THEY ARE UNDER WARRANTY.

WHENEVER I AM STOPPED AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD RAPIDLY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN MOTION--ONLY WHEN RESUMING TRAVEL AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR WHEN I FIRST GET INTO THE CAR AND BEGIN TRAVEL. I AM CONSCIOUS OF THIS AND REALLY TRY TO EASE DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT I STILL NOTICE A SUDDEN INCREASE IN SPEED, ONE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE IN OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED (I AM IN MY 60S AND HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MANY VEHICLES.) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR SAFETY REASONS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ALSO DON'T WANT TO CAUSE MY PASSENGERS OR MYSELF WHIPLASH OR DISCOMFORT WITH A SUDDEN START.

EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2011 ) IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY ABOUT 19,000 MILES, THE FRONT STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AS PER MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE STRUTS USUALLY LAST FOR 70,000 MILES AND THEY MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND BOUGHT IT FROM A TOYOTA DEALER.

ON SUNDAY EVENING APRIL 12 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN EAST BRUNSWICK NJ. WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAK, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT JUMPED THE CURBING IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, SWIPED THE FRONT OF A PARKED VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A STONE BIRDBATH IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL. MIRACULOUSLY I ESCAPED WITH A RATHER UGLY BRUISE TO MY LEFT FOREARM AND TO MY RIGHT BREAST FROM SEAT BELT PRESSURE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN. I WILL SEND THE POLICE REPORT IN ANOTHER EMAIL. IT SAYS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A "HANDICAPPED" SPOT. I WAS NOT. I AM NOT HANDICAPPED. IT ALSO SAYS I "INADVERTENTLY" APPLIED THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BREAK. I NEVER TOLD ANYONE THAT. I WAS FULLY AWAKE, CONSCIOUS AND APPLIED THE BREAK. I SENT A DATA IMAGING AUTHORIZATION AND CONSENT FORM TO [XXX]. I HAVE TO ENTER A PLEA BY MAIL TO CARELESS DRIVING CHARGES BY 5/18/15. I REQUESTED THAT HOLIDAY INN PROVIDE ME WITH SURVEILLANCE VIDEO BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD "DEAL DIRECTLY" WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 27TH THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 29TH THAT THE VEHICLE'S "BLACK BOX" (FOR LACK OF A BETTER DESCRIPTION AT THE MOMENT) WOULD BE INSPECTED ON APRIL 30TH AND I WOULD RECEIVED A REPORT ON MAY 4TH. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I NEED HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 72 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND THE TWO REAR DOORS FAILED TO UNLOCK FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOORS ONLY UNLOCKED MANUALLY FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER LOCATED UNDER THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I STARTED HEARING A POPPING SOUND WHEN I WOULD CLOSE MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR. EVENTUALLY, IT WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, IT WOULD HANG A LITTLE BIT. EVENTUALLY, IT STATED HANGING TO WHERE IT WAS ALWAYS DOWN. FINALLY, THE MOUNT (OR WHATEVER THE PART IS THAT IT CLIPS INTO) BROKE OFF SO I HAD TO REMOVE IT. NOW THAT IT IS MUCH SUNNIER MOST DAYS, IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT THE SUN VISOR, ALSO, I AM NOW STARTING TO HEAR THE POPPING SOUND ON THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR AND IT IS STARTING TO HANG A LITTLE BIT. *TR

THE NEW FORWARD ANGLE OF THE HEADRESTS FORCE YOUR HEAD TO BE AGAINST THE HEADREST AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO LOOK SIDE TO SIDE, FORCES YOUR HEAD FORWARD SO YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN RATHER THAN OUT THE WINDSHIELD AND PUTS A STRAIN ON THE BACK. IT'S VERY DISTRACTING WHICH PUTS YOU AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT SPEED 60 MPH. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. ME AND MY PASSENGER WERE WEARING SEATBELTS. WE HAD A LOT OF CHEST PAIN AROUND THE INCIDENT. *TR

I AM WRITING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA MAY HAVE UNDERREPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V014000. I OWN A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, OR NEITHER I NOR MY DEALER RECEIVED NOTICE. AS YOU KNOW, THIS RECALL IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT. ON FEBRUARY 17, 2015, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE T-BONED, WITH THE STRIKING CAR HITTING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND B-PILLAR AREA FLUSH AT ABOUT 40 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR CURTAIN DEPLOYED, THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT. MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED SOME INJURIES FROM THE FAILURE OF THIS AIRBAG TO INFLATE AND PROTECT HER. TOYOTA DID VISIT THE VEHICLE AFTER THE COLLISION AND DOWNLOADED THE DATA FROM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, AND IT SHOWED A FAILURE OF THAT AIRBAG. I TRIED TO ATTACH A COPY OF THE DOWNLOADED DATA FOR YOUR REVIEW, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTACH IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO SEND YOU THIS PDF FILE. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT PERHAPS TOYOTA HAS UNDERREPORTED THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, PUTTING MORE UNSUSPECTING TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AT RISK. IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION FROM ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MY CELL PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. I WOULD LIKE TO BE KEPT IN THE INFORMATION LOOP REGARDING ANY INVESTIGATION OF TOYOTA THAT RESULTS FROM MY COMPLAINT.

THE CAR STAR TO SHAKE WHEN BRAKED WERE APPLIED AT 55 MPH THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS 2 YEARS OLD NOW SHAKES REALLY BAD ONLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE USE AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

I'M DEAF AND FOUND THE SUNVISOR ON THE FRONT OF DRIVER SEAT IS LOOSE ABOUT OCT 2014. I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD NEED TO PAY FOR FIX. I FELT THAT IT IS NOT SAFETY ISSUE. MY FRIEND TOLD ME THAT I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT SO I EMAIL YOU AND WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT? PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, AN ABNORMAL ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND EXITED THE VEHICLE AS THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

THE INNER MECHANISM OF THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR GRADUALLY FAILED. THE SUN VISOR WOULD DROP DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY SOMETIMES OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW. AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP AT ALL. PART # 7432006780E0. *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP THUS IMPEDING MY VISION WHEN I DRIVE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND WAS A RECALL ON PREVIOUS MODELS SINCE 2007. UNFORTUNATELY THEY REQUIRE YOU TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE VISOR AND WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT TOYOTA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER WANTS ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT. THEY SAID IT WAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE CAMRY. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED ON TUESDAY FEBRUARY 17,2015 @ 3:35PM WE A SEMI TRUCK CUT ME OFF AND END UP ATTACHING ME TO ITS TRAILER. MY ENTIRE FRONT END IS DAMAGE AND DRIVER REAR SIDE THE DRIVER DOOR AND AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER DOOR. I HAD THIS VECHILE SINCE FEBRUARY 2014. NEITHER ONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN THIS VECHILE. *JS

2011 CAMRY LE - THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT GEAR IT WANTS TO BE IN AFTER A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I CAN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR MINIMALLY RESPONDS, SLOWLY MOVING AND THEN SUDDENLY GOING AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IF I DRIVE IT LIKE I STOLE OFF EVER STOP SIGN/STOP LIGHT IT WOULD DO ALRIGHT BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO STOMP IT OFF THE LIGHT AND I DON'T DRIVE THAT WAY. AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP AND TOYOTA DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT! ALSO, ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 70-75 AND LETTING OFF THE GAS THE CAR HAS A SHUDDER WHICH IS UNSETTLING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY....SOMETIMES I EXPECT THE ENGINE TO DIE OR THE TRANSMISSION FALL OUT. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, SERVICE DEPT ETC WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WOULD BE THE FIRST THING BUT THEY HAVE NEVER DONE THAT!! THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED MY THROTTLE BODY SENSOR??? (WHY?), SYNCED MY COMPUTER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEN THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT COULD BE A "COMPUTER" ISSUE MUCH LIKE THE OLD COROLLAS AND I JUST NEED TO GET USE TO IT. I'M DONE WITH TOYOTA, THIS IS MY SECOND ONE AND BOTH OF THEM HAD ISSUES THAT WERE NEVER RESOLVED! *JS

WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT WITH COLD ENGINE, STOPPING FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT, CARS TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE PROPERLY. WHEN LEAVING INTERSECTION, ACCELERATING THE ENGINE, THE CAR WILL CREEP VERY SLOWLY FOR ABOUT 50 FEET OR SO, THEN SEEMS TO SLOWLY ENGAGE AS IT NORMALLY SHOULD. AFTER CAR IS WARM, IT SEEMS TO RUN FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS OBVIOUSLY IRRITATES CARS BEHIND ME, BUT EVEN MORE SO, CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DRIVING ON TODAY'S HIGHWAYS IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH. I'D HATE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN, IF I SHOULD EVER NEED ACCELERATION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IN THE MAKING??? *TR

INCIDENT ON DECEMBER 31, 2014 ABOUT 11:30 AM IN WAYNE, PA: AT AN INTERSECTION AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN WHERE A CAR WAS ALREADY STOPPED, I APPLIED MY BRAKES. THE CAR FAILED TO STOP AND INSTEAD LURCHED FORWARD AND THE ENGINE INCREASED. THE NOISE WAS NOT OF THE BRAKES BUT OF THE ENGINE ROARING. AS THE CAR SURGED FORWARD,I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKES AND THEN REAPPLIED THEM PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. AGAIN THE CAR DID NOT STOP BUT DID SLOW DOWN. THE THIRD APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES DID STOP THE CAR JUST INCHES FROM THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. THE NEXT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JANUARY 13, 2015 WHEN THE SAME EXPERIENCE OCCURRED. I TOOK IT TO PERUZZI TOYOTA. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ON JANUARY 15, I TOOK THE UNSAFE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. ON JANUARY 16 AFTER COMPLETING WHAT THEY CALLED THE PROTOCOL FOR UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, THEY "RELEASED THE CAR" BACK TO ME HAVING NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED THEY HAD NO FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY AND GAVE ME THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER PHONE NUMBER TO CALL. I CALLED THAT NUMBER AND WAS TOLD A CASE MANAGER WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN FOUR DAYS. MEANWHILE, I AM LEFT WITH AN UNSAFE CAR AND NO RECOURSE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

ENTERING THE HIGHWAY FROM AND ENTRANCE RAMP DURING RAINY WEATHER AND AS I TURN THE WHEEL THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOOSE CONTROL AND THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AS I SLIDE SIDEWAYS OFF THE RAMP. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE STEERING PROBLEMS IT HAS THAT CAN'T BE FIXED, ALSO ON DRY GROUND THIS CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN ITS LANE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT MY CAR ISN'T INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE ISSUE REPORTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO AVOID A CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A HILL. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SORENESS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BODY BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR MALFUNCTION. WON'T STAY FOLDED, DROPPED DOWN 30 DEGREE AND AFFECT DRIVERS VISIBILITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND MY DEALER HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME AND I WAS UNAWARE OF THE LOAD ISSUE. HOW DO I HANDLE THIS - JONES JUNCTION IN BEL AIR, MD IS THE DEALER. I HAVE A 2011 CAMRY LE. SOUTHEAST TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 AND 2010-2013 TOYOTA TUNDRA, 2010-2012 RAV4, 2012 TOYOTA SEQUOIA, 2010-2011 TOYOTA COROLLA, 2010-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY AND CAMRY HYBRID, 2010-2013 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER AND HIGHLANDER HYBRID, 2010-2013 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER, 2011 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER, 2010-2013 TOYOTA VENZA, 2010-2011 TOYOTA 4RUNNER, 2010-2013 TOYOTA TACOMA, 2011-2012 TOYOTA SIENNA, 2012 TOYOTA PRIUS, 2013 SCION FR-S, 2011 SCION XD, 2011 SCION XB, AND 2012 SCION TC VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES WERE SOLD WITH LABELS THAT WERE OUTSIDE THE ALLOWABLE ONE PERCENT OF ACCURACY OF ACTUAL WEIGHT ADDED. THUS, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBER 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." *JS

I CANT KEEP THIS CAR IN ITS LANE, IT VEERS TO THE LEFT AT ALL SPEEDS AND EVEN WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY TOYOTA BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE AN ALIGNMENT AND PULLS THE DRIVER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC CONSTANTLY. *TR

ALLOY WHEELS ARE PREMATURELY CORRODING. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR AT 41 MPH (THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT I HAD A BLACK-OUT, DOCS ARE STILL EXAMINING THE EVIDENCE). THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AND HAVE LOTS OF SORENESS AND BRUISING ON MY CHEST, AND SEVERE MEMORY LOSS AROUND THE INCIDENT. MY GARMIN DASH-CAM WAS RUNNING THE ENTIRE TIME, RECORDING THE DATE, TIME, LOCATION, GPS COORDINATES, AND SPEED IN MPH AT CRASH TIME. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HOW FAST I WAS GOING WHEN I REAR-ENDED THE OTHER VEHICLE AND THE CAMRY I WAS DRIVING SUSTAINED MASSIVE DAMAGE. THE CABIN HELD UP WELL, BUT NO AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED, INCLUDING THE ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF ME. CERTAINLY THIS IS NOT RIGHT? *TR

TOYOTA UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MY WIFE PULLED INTO THE OFFICE BUILDING PARKING LOT, WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, SLOWING DOWN TO PARK PERPENDICULAR TO THE CURB. THE ENGINE RACED. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB, RAN OVER FOUR FEET OF MULCH AND LOOM AND CRASHED INTO A STOCKADE FENCE. FOURTEEN DAYS LATER ON JULY 23 RD, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAMRY LURCHED FORWARD CAUSING $8,362.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. AGAIN ANOTHER SECTION OF THE FENCE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REPORT PRE-CRASH DATA SHOWED THAT IN 1.9 SECONDS THE CAMRY WENT FROM 2.5 MPH TO 17.5 MPH. THE ENGINE WENT FROM 400 TO 4000 RPM. IT ALSO SHOWED THAT THERE WAS NO PRESSURE ON THE CAR ACCELERATOR.

WED AM, NOV. 12, 2014, I PARKED MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 4CYL IN AN AIRPORT PARKING GARAGE. WEATHER WAS 31 F. WHEN I RETURNED FROM MY TRIP THE NEXT EVENING, I STARTED THE CAR, ORGANIZED SOME THINGS FOR A MINUTE TO ALLOW CAR HEATER TO WARM THE VEHICLE WHILE I SAT. I THEN PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 20S F. I NOTICED THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH SO I PRESSED A BIT MORE ON THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE CAR FAILED TO GO FASTER. AFTER SLOWLY BACKING OUT FAR ENOUGH, I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. DESPITE REACHING 2500+ RPM, THE CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT 0 (ZERO) MPH. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS, AND PULLED, VERY SLOWLY, TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GARAGE LANE, SO AS NOT TO IMPEDE VEHICLE TRAFFIC. I CONTINUED TO REV ENGINE FOR 1 TO 2 MINUTES. ONLY AFTER REVVING THE ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES DID THE CAR BEGIN TO SLOWLY RESPOND. THIS FLAW IS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN AND COULD ENDANGER LIVE(S). IMAGINE IF I AM AT A STOP SIGN, AWAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON TO A BUSY ROADWAY. IF MY 2011 CAMRY'S FUEL INJECTOR FAILS TO RESPOND AS EXPECTED, THEREBY RESPONDING SLOWLY TO ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THEN I ENVISION THE LIKELIHOOD OF BEING IN A HORRIFIC SIDE-IMPACT COLLISION. I WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. WINTER IS JUST BEGINNING, AND COLD STARTS ARE GOING TO BE MUCH MORE COMMON (LIKELY IN MUCH COLDER TEMPS). I DON'T BELIEVE MODERN VEHICLES, WITH ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION, SHOULD HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE, OR REQUIRE MUCH WARM-UP TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

THE AIR BAG LITE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN ON FOR A MONTH OR SO IF NOT LONGER. *TR

CAR ALWAYS MAKES A WHINING SOUND THAT GETS LOUDER UPON ACCELERATION, VEHICLE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP IN MY LANE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CONSTANT CORRECTING NEEDED TO STAY OUT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR OUT OF THE LANE LEFT OF ME AS CAR VEERS TO THE LEFT. CARS HAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT CAUSES JERKING AND SLIPPAGE WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE CAR OUT OF ITS LANE. *TR

DASH LIGHT INTENSITY CHANGES FROM VERY BRIGHT TO VERY DIM WHILE DRIVING, DEALER STATES THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE MADE A VIDEO ON MY PHONE TO SHOW THEM WHAT IS HAPPENING, THE RESPONSE IS...... YES THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WE CAN'T FIX IF WE CANT DUPLICATE? *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE IN A SCHOOL ZONE, ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH. NO OTHER CARS WERE NEAR ME. THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT, CAUSING THE CAR TO HIT THE CURB. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS, I HAD A FLAT TIRE, BUT I DID NOT. SINCE IT WAS NOT FAR, I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO POHANKA TOYOTA WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HAVE IT SERVICED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB, BEARING AND SHOCK ABSORBER. ...UPDATED 10/22/14 *BF

ON THE ABOVE DATE, AS I PREPARED TO PARK AT THE DOLLAR GENERAL STORE, 200 BRUSH CREEK HWY, ALEXANDRIA, TN 37012, THE VEHICLE JUMPED THE CURB WENT DOWN IN A DITCH AND COLLIDED WITH A PARKED CHURCH BUS. THE ACCELERATOR ON THIS VEHICLE STUCK AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE ACCELERATOR AT THE TIME OF THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

A RUBBING/GRINDING NOISE WAS INTERMITTENTLY BEING HEARD FROM THE BACK END DURING BRAKING AND, AT TIMES, DURING ACCELERATION. AFTER CONTACTING AN EMPLOYEE AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CAMRYS AND THAT MOST LIKELY MY BRAKE PADS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR, I WAS SHOWN ON MY BRAKES WHERE THEY HAD BECOME STUCK AND THE ROTORS NEEDED REPAIR AS WELL. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, THEN PERHAPS TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A FRACTURED NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 10/28/14 *BF..UPDATED 11/13/14 *BF UPDATED 02/03/15.

THE CAR REQUIRES ALMOST CONSTANT DRIVER INPUT IN THE STEERING TO MAINTAIN IT WITHIN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THERE IS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE CAR DOES NOT TRACK SECURELY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. AS A RESULT IT IS FATIGUING TO CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT FROM RIGHT TO LEFT AND BACK AGAIN LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. TOYOTA REP AND DEALER MECHANICS CLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE ELECTRONIC VARIABLE ASSIST POWER STEERING IS NOT DECREASING WHEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT TRACK SECURELY WITHIN IT'S LANE. THERE ARE NO TIRE OR ALIGNMENT ISSUES. TOYOTA IS PRETENDING THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND HOPING I WILL GO AWAY. *TR

I WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WITH MY TWIN 2YRS OLD DAUGHTERS WHEN I HEARD A SOUND; I LOOKED ONLY TO SEE THAT ONE OF THE BABY PULL THE GEAR STICK OUT OF PARK, INTO DRIVE AND THE KEYS WERE IN MY POCKET! I KNEW THAT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN. I CALLED DARCARS TOYOTA, AND THE MANAGER [XXX] TOLD ME "THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AND THAT THE "GEAR BOX IS BAD", I NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN SO THEY COULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON 10/03/2014 AT ABOUT 7:10AM, AND LEFT THE LOT AT ABOUT 9:30AM AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE HORRIBLE SERVICE BOTH FROM THE MANAGER [XXX] AND THE REP. "[XXX]" I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY TOLD ME SOMETHING WAS WRONG, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY FOR THEM TO DO WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW; WHICH IS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GEAR STICK! I MAY BE THE 1ST PERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THIS IS WHY WITH ALL THE RECALLS, IT SEEMS AS IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THESE PEOPLE TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THEIR DEFAULTED VEHICLES!! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FOR ME AS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. THANKS IN ADVANCE SINCERELY INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND AND CAME OFF. TOYOTA ADVISES SO MANY ARE ON BACK ORDER THAT THEY CANNOT GIVE ME AN ETA. THEY ARE REPLACING FOR FREE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DEFECT. I WAS DRIVING TODAY FACING THE WEST WITH NO SUN VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY ROAD. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN THE SUN SUDDENLY HIT ME IN THE FACE, NOT ONCE OR TWICE BUT NUMEROUS TIMES CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO CROSS THE CENTER LINE OR HIT AN EMBANKMENT OR DITCH. TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE DEFECT FOR NEARLY 7 YEARS. *TR
