2014 Toyota Camry complaints

ON A CITY STREET EITHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, OR ON HIGHWAY, WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SUDDENLY BUT NOT 'FLOORING IT' THE CAR HESITATES AND THEN FEELS LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTS AND IS SLOW TO INCREASE SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START AND VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WERE ACTIVE. IN ADDITION, THE DOORS COULD NOT BE LOCKED FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AFTER A WHILE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: WE PURCHASED A NEW 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM RELIABLE TOYOTA IN SPRINGFIELD, MO ON MARCH 21, 2014. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT WOULD RACE IN FIRST GEAR, ONCE EXCEEDING 4,000 RPM'S. MY FOOT WAS OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND I COULD ONLY USE THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN WHILE IT CONTINUED TO RACE. IN ALL *3 INSTANCES, MULTIPLE PEOPLE WERE IN THE CAR. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR US AS TRAFFIC CAME UP FAST BEHIND US. EACH TIME I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO SELL US A NEW CAR, THE LAST TIME WITH EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND FOLLOWUP PHONE CALLS. WE HAVE HAD ALL OUR SERVICE DONE AT RELIABLE TOYOTA AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER (DISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROGRAM) TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM, HOPING FOR SOME HELP. THEY INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND CAME BACK WITH 'CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOUR DEALER RE:THE PROBLEM.' THEY HAD NO ANSWER WHEN I ASKED HOW SHOULD THIS BE DONE IF WE ARE IN TEXAS OR OHIO VISITING OUR ADULT CHILDREN OR WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING TO A FRIEND'S HOME AND THE TRANSMISSION RACES WITHOUT KNOWN CAUSE. THEIR ANSWER, 'CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOUR DEALER.' EVEN IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN HERE IN BRANSON, MO, WE ARE 30 MILES AWAY FROM RELIABLE TOYOTA. I CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE FEAR OF THIS H

I PURCHASED A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IN NOVEMBER 2014. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE GOING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR AND THE BACK LEFT TIRE BLOWOUT. THE SIDE OF MY CAR IS DAMAGED AND THE LOWER PANEL BELOW THE DOORS ALSO THE FRONT BUMPER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE IS NOT COVERED BY THEM EVEN AND THE CAR IS FULLY COVERED (WOW). THE MANAGER AT TOYOTA TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE TIRE DEALER AND DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 6 TOYOTA SINCE 1984 AND REALLY THOUGHT TOYOTA WAS A GREAT COMPANY. TOYOTA MOTOR SALES U.S.A,INC. DEPT. WC 11 19001 S. WESTERN AVE. TORRANCE, CA 905501 800-331-4331 TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIRED MY CAR IN TOTAL '. I CALLED THE TIRE MANUFACTURE (BRIDGESTONE RETAIL OPERATIONS, LLC - 800 847 3272) AND TOLD THEM OF THE SITUATION. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOOK ALL THE DETAILS AND PROVIDED ME WITH A CASE NUMBER (727790) AND TOLD ME TO PROVIDE THEM WITH 2 WRITTEN ESTIMATES AND SHIP THE DAMAGED TIRE TO THEM. AFTER A WEEK, I SHIPPED THE DAMAGED TIRE AND THE WRITTEN ESTIMATES TO BRIDGESTONE. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK, I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATED THAT MY CLAIM HAS BEEN DENY, DUE TO LOW AIR IN THE TIRE. THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE I HAD SUFFICIENT AIR IN THE TIRE AND THESE TIRES ARE LONG LASTING THEY TOLD ME. I WENT ON THE WEB SITE HTTP://WWW.NITROFILL.COM/ AND EVEN IF THE TIRE HAS LOW AIR IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BLOWOUT. I CONTACTED (1-877-246-3455) THE NITRO FILL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BRIDGESTONE IS A "JOKE". TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE R

A RABBIT CHOMPED ON THE LOWER WIRING HARNESS RENDERING THE CAR DISABLED DUE TO THE WIRING BEING MADE OUT OF AN "ORGANIC" COMPOUND IN KEEPING WITH ITS "GREEN" PHILOSOPHY. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC IT IS MADE FROM EITHER A PEANUT OIL OR SIMILAR INGREDIENT THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS. HE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE WIRING COVERING CAUSES ISSUES ON MANY OF THE TOYOTA'S DUE TO RODENTS EATING THE WIRING AND IS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY PRIOR TO ANY ISSUES AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THIS WILL COST $1900 TO REPAIR MY BRAND NEW CAR.

THE CAR COMPUTER REFUSES TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED. WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR TO CROSS BUSY INTERSECTION OR FROM STOP LIGHT, THE EXHIBITED 3-5 SECONDS OF DELAY, IT REFUSE TO PICKUP SPEED WHICH COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT! TOYOTA MUST RECALL THE CARS BACK AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIED AGAIN ON THE ROAD!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT 3 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STABILIZED THE VEHICLE BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,400. UPDATED 01/12/16*LJ; UPDATED 04/13/18*JB *TR

AT TIMES AT THE FIRST START-UP IN THE MORNING, AND DURING THE DAY FOLLOWING THE VEHICLE SITTING FOR COUPLE HOURS (SOME TIMES LESS AND AT OTHER TIMES LONGER PERIODS), THE ENGINE PRODUCES A RATTLING OR TAPPING NOISE FOR TWO OR THREE SECONDS THEN IT GOES AWAY. OFTEN, AFTER AN IMMEDIATE SHUT-OFF AND RESTART, THE ENGINE PRODUCES THE SAME NOISE FOR COUPLE SECONDS THEN IT STOPS. IT'S EASY TO MISS THE NOISE IF THE RADIO IS ON OR THE SURROUNDING IS NOISY.

MY 2014 CAMRY HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM ABOUT TO BE ON MY 3RD CABIN FILTER DUE TO A MOLDY SMELL IN MY CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY WIFE BRAND NEW AND I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THE FAULT AND IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR THEY REPLACED THE CABIN FILTER FREE OF CHARGE. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER IT HAS GONE BAD AGAIN, THE CAR SMELLS MOLDLY AND MY CHILD AND WIFE ARE SURROUNDED BY THIS MOLDY SMELL WHENEVER THE A/C IS ON. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA WITH THE REQUEST FOR THEM TO BUY-BACK THIS VEHICLE FROM ME AS EVERY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED DOESN'T NEED A CABIN FILTER UNTIL 50-60K MILES. TOYOTA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE AND FAULT. I WAS ADVISED TO PLACE A COMPLAINT AT THIS TIME HERE SINCE THIS ODOR IS EFFECTING MY FAMILIES HEALTH. TOYOTA HAS BEEN SLOW RETURNING MY CALLS AND HAS ADVISED ME THAT THIS PROCESS WILL TAKE OVER 30 DAYS FROM HERE.

THE REAR WHEELS OF A PASSING TRUCK THREW A BLANKET OF MUDDY WATER ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD AS I BEGAN TURNING TO THE RIGHT. I TURNED ON THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS ONLY TO FIND THAT THE DRIVER'S WINDSHIELD WASHER (AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER'S WASHER) WETTED ONLY ABOUT 8 INCHES OF THE LOWER WINDSHIELD AT TWO POINTS ABOUT 8 INCHES APART. THE WIPERS WERE INEFFECTIVE IN MOVING THE TWO LOW STREAMS OF WATER HIGHER ON THE WINDSHIELD TO PROVIDE VISIBILITY AT MY LINE OF SIGHT EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT TALL. FINALLY THE WIPERS BEGAN SCRAPING OFF THE MUD, WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE WASHER FLUID, PROVIDING ME MARGINAL VISIBILITY. SUBSEQUENT TESTING AT THE DEALER'S LOT SHOWED THAT NEITHER THE 2014 NOR THE 2015 CAMRY WINDSHIELD WASHER WETTED THEIR WINDSHIELD HIGH ENOUGH TO BE REALLY EFFECTIVE. AT MY REQUEST THE DEALER REPLACED THE FACTORY INSTALLED WASHERS WITH ONES THAT ELEVATED THE WATER STREAMS BY ONE MORE DEGREE. ALTHOUGH THE REPLACEMENT WASHERS TENDED TO DELIVER ABOUT 35% OF WATER OVER THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AT REST, AT ANY REASONABLE ROAD SPEED, TO INCLUDE SLOW ONES, THE WASHERS WETTED THE WINDSHIELD WELL ENOUGH FOR THE WIPERS TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY. TOYOTA COULD NOT PROVIDE A MORE EFFECTIVE SOLUTION EVEN WHEN THE CONDITION WAS REPORTED TO THEIR REGIONAL REP. THE WASHERS SHOULD REALLY BE REDESIGNED AND REPLACED FOR EFFECTIVENESS UNDER ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

THIS CAR HAS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM, IT STALLS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A LOW SPEED (10 TO15 MPH) TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FLOW. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF SERVICE. WE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND NO CAUSE FOR THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME. SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR HAS STALLED AT LEAST 4 MORE TIMES. WE WILL RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEPT. 8TH TO TRY TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. ON AT LEAST 2 OF THE STALLING THINGS IT NEARLY CAUSED SERIOUS COLLISIONS. I LOOKED ON YOUR DATA BASE AND FOUND OTHER INSTANCES OF THE CAMRY STALLING WITH NO RESOLUTION PROVIDE BY TOYOTA OR THE SELLING DEALERSHIP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THERE IS A GREAT POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY.

WHILE DRIVING (DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED) MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND WANT TO STALL,LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY GAS.STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL DOES NO GOOD. THEN IT WILL SUDDENLY KICK BACK IN AND DRIVE NORMAL UNTILL THE NEXT TIME IT FEELS LIKE DOING IT. THE PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY,JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN.PRETTY SCARY WHEN YOUR ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 65MPH AND YOUR CAR WANTS TO STALL IN MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC.I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER,THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG,THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THIS STALLING PROBLEM IS HAPPENING.

NHTSA RECALL # 14V024 INDICATES AN OPEN RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE ISSUED JAN. 29, 2014 STATING THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WHILE IN DEALER INVENTORY PRIOR TO RETAIL DELIVERY. I DID NOT TAKE DELIVERY UNTIL MARCH, 2014, AND THIS REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED PRIOR TO DELIVERY. THE RECALL FURTHER STATES CUSTOMER OWNED VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS ACTION. SINCE THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED PRIOR TO MY TAKING DELIVERY, DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH THIS DEALER TO HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED?

THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY HESITATES (STALLS) AT STARTS AND AT OTHER TIMES AS WELL. WE HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA OF THIS SITUATION TWICE. AT FIRST THIS WAS JUST A NUISANCE (SHORTER HESITATIONS), BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND THE HESITATIONS ARE LONGER LEAVING US IN MORE PRECARIOUS SITUATIONS. WHEN WE ARRIVED TODAY I EXPLAINED THE HESITATION PROBLEM. SOME OF XXX STATEMENTS WERE RATHER TROUBLING TO ME: (1) "THIS IS A NEW SYSTEM. THERE IS NO LONGER A WIRE AND THROTTLE. YOU NEED TO LEARN TO RE-DRIVE WITH IT." (2) "THOUGH WE HAVE EQUIPPED ALL TOYOTAS WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM, THIS HESITATION PROBLEM IS PREDOMINATELY IN CAMRYS." (3) "I HAVE A 15 TOYOTA AVALON AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO ME. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET." (4) "IF THE COMPUTER ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, THEN YOUR CAR IS OPERATING WITHIN SPEC. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR SYSTEM." (5) "NEW CAMRYS HAVE A LOT COMPUTERS AND YOU NEED TO ALLOW ALL THE INTERFACES OF THE ALL THE COMPUTERS IN THE VEHICLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER. THIS CAUSES SOME DELAY." THESE STATEMENTS WERE STATED BEFORE (1, 2, 4) AND AFTER (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) THE CAR WAS INSPECTED. I TOLD XXX REPEATEDLY THAT THIS WAS OUR SECOND VISIT TO GERMAIN TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THIS HESITATION MAY CAUSE US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. XXX KEPT INSISTING THAT IT WAS NOT TOYOTA'S / COMPUTER'S FAULT, THAT WE JUST NEEDED TO LEARN TO RE-DRIVE THE CAR. I DISAGREE THAT "IF THE COMPUTER ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, THEN YOUR CAR IS OPERATING WITHIN SPECS." TOY

CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE LIKE IT SHOULD WHEN TAKING OFF IT HAS TO BUILT UP SPEED WHICH IS REALLY DANGEROUS ENTERING HIGHWAY IT LAGS THEN PICK UP SPEED.

DRIVER WAS SLOWING DOWN, COASTING BEFORE APPLYING BRAKE TO TURNED LEFT INTO DRIVEWAY. DRIVER APPLIED BRAKE AND CAR ACCELERATED VERY STRONG BUT BRIEF; DRIVER THEN APPLIED BRAKE VERY FIRMLY, AND CAR STOPPED; BUT BY THIS TIME, CAR MISSED DRIVEWAY ENTRY, AND HAD TO BACK UP TO RESTART ENTRY.

IN JUNE 2014 I BOUGHT A 2014.5 CAMRY BRAND NEW. DURING THE FIRST WEEK I DROVE IT THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT SPEED UP AFTER PRESSING DOWN & HESITATED AS WELL TRYING TO CATCH UP. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA OF ORLANDO & WAS INFORMED IT WAS LEARNING MY DRIVING TECHNIQUES AFTER A TEST DRIVE. THE REPORT WAS NEVER DOCUMENTED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT & I HAD TO IDENTIFY WHO DROVE ME FOR THE PROBLEM I REPORTED TO PROVE I ACTUALLY REPORTED IT. IT WAS STATED HE JUST FORGOT. THIS KEPT HAPPENING VERY FREQUENTLY & AFTER ANOTHER DRIVER RANDOMLY DROVE MY CAR & ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN AGAIN NOV 27,2014. THEY DID NOTHING. I WAS REFUSED TO BE SEEN AFTER SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA OF CLERMONT, FL & THEY HEARD OF MY PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. DECEMBER 28, 2014 AS I WAS DRIVING WITH PEOPLE IN MY CAR, THE ENGINE CUT OFF AT 55 MPH. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN & IT CONTINUED TO DECLINE. THIS WAS REPORTED THE NEXT MORNING. I WAS TOLD TO PARK MY CAR BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS ON VACATION & NOT TO DRIVE IT. THEY WOULD NOT RENT A CAR FOR ME IN THE MEANTIME. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO BE SEEN IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN IN JANUARY 2015 & WAS ALSO RECORDED BY A PASSENGER RIDING WITH ME. AFTER THAT OCCASION EVERY SIGNAL LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO A DIFFERENT TOYOTA OF CENTRAL FLORIDA DEALER & REPORTED THE PROBLEM & THE MECHANIC STATED NOBODY FROM TOYOTA ORLANDO ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT OR CALL THE SERVICE TECH LINE TO FIND THE PROB

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD FOR ABOUT 5 SEC. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE SAME DAY. WHEN ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. IT WAS A RENTAL FROM HERTZ AND WAS EXCHANGED FOR ANOTHER AUTO.

BRAKE LIGHT IS ON WHEN CAR STARTED. CHECKED EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND OFF. BRAKE LIGHT STILL ON. AFTER DRIVING FEW FEET WITH LIGHT ON CAR STOPPED. EMERGENCY BRAKES NEVER ENGAGED ORIGINALLY.

FIRST INCIDENT WAS IT SPEEDING UP AND GOING THROUGH GARAGE DOOR. IN MARCH, 2015 WAS INCIDENT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE THAT THE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP AND THEN SURGED FORWARD INTO ANOTHER CAR AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE IN. LATER THAT DAY COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE, IT SURGED FORWARD WHEN FOOT ON BRAKE, SLOWING FOR STOP SIGN AT END OF EXIT RAMP. CAR SURGED FORWARD AND I WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND BARELY MISSED HITTING 2 CARS. *TR

I WENT OUT TO THE GARAGE TO VERIFY THAT THE GARAGE DOOR WAS CLOSED AND HEARD SOMETHING HUMMING IN THE GARAGE. UPON INVESTIGATING THE SOUND IT TURNED OUT TO BE COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE ONLY THING THAT MADE SENSE TO ME WAS THE FUEL PUMP WAS RUNNING. I PROCEEDED TO GET THE KEYS AND CYCLED THE IGNITION TO ON WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR AND THEN BACK TO OFF. THE HUMMING STOPPED. I DID REMEMBER HEARING A SECOND HUMMING SOUND START AND STOP WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION, WHICH WOULD BE THE NORMAL FUEL PUMP CYCLING FOR AN ENGINE START SEQUENCE. I AM WONDERING IF WHAT I ORIGINALLY HEARD MAY HAVE BEEN A RELIEF VALVE SLOWLY BLEEDING OFF PRESSURE, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS A RELIEF VALVE SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT FOR PIECE OF MIND. THIS DID ALL OCCUR BETWEEN 4-5 HOURS AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY TOYOTA DEALER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE'S AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. IT HAS BEEN OMITTING A FOUL, MOLDY, MILDEWY, BAD BO (BODY ODOR), MUSTY, SOUR SMELL SINCE ONLY OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN HALF A YEAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY/HEALTH ISSUE & NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED ASAP. I MYSELF HAVE ALLERGIES & THE SMELL BLOWING OUT FROM THE VENTS ON A DAILY BASIS IS CAUSING ME TO BE VERY SICK. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES & THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. IT IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MANUFACTURER'S VEHICLES & THEY HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO ADDRESS OR REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE WHO ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

RIGHT FRONT STRUT LEAKING OIL AND TOP BEARING DEFECTIVE. DEALER REPLACED STRUT AND BEARING. CLUMSY MECHANIC ALSO DENTED TOP RIGHT FRONT FENDER! *TR

THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2014 IS DESIGNED SO THAT YOU MAY TAKE YOUR 'KEY FOB' AND LEAVE THE CAR WITHOUT PUTTING IT IN PARK TURNING OFF THE MOTOR PUTTING THE PARKING BRAKE ON HOW STUPID IS THIS! YOU THEN HAVE A GOOGLE SELF DRIVING CAR WITHOUT YOU IN IT. YOU COULD EVEN RUN OVER YOURSELF. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD (40MPH) IN JANUARY 2015 AND AT SOME POINT HAD TO PRESS ON MY BRAKES SOMEWHAT ABRUPTLY DUE TO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY SLOWING DOWN. A FEW MINUTES LATER MY CAR ACCELERATING CAPACITY SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND THE CAR WAS COMING TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD REVVING NOISE AS I TRIED TO INCREASE THE SPEED. IT ALSO WAS NOT MOVING FURTHER. I SOMEHOW PULLED OVER TO A RIGHT TURNING LANE, WHERE I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE CAR BEGAN RUNNING FINE. THEN AGAIN ON 3/1/2015 I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD CONNECTING TO THE HIGHWAY AT MAYBE 35-40MPH WHEN THIS TIME I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN BREAK DUE TO ANOTHER CAR MERGING INTO THE LANE UNEXPECTEDLY. MY CAR THEN IMMEDIATELY STOPPED MOVING FORWARD AND THE CAR WAS TURNING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IN ORDER TO BE HIT BY TRAFFIC COMING BEHIND ME AT 50+ MPH, I WAS FINALLY AGAIN ABLE TO VEER INTO A RIGHT TURNING LANE WHERE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. IT WAS ALSO MAKING THAT SAME LOUD REVVING NOISE WHEN I WAS VEERING IT INTO THE SAFETY LANE. IT AGAIN DROVE FINE ALL THE WAY BACK HOME. THIS IS A 10 MONTH OLD TOYOTA CAMRY SE (BOUGHT IN APRIL 2014) AND I'M TERRIFIED THAT IF FOR ANY REASON I NEED TO HIT MY BRAKES SUDDENLY ON A HIGHWAY OR ANYWHERE ELSE, MY CAR WILL TURN OFF AND THAT WILL BE THE END OF MY CAR AND ME. THERE IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THIS CAR OR MODEL AND OTHERS NEED TO KNOW. THE CARE WAS BOUGHT IN MS. *TR

CAMRY HAD AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT. MY WIFE WAS PARKING AT THE SANTA CLARA ADULT EDUCATION CENTER ON BENTON AVE, SANTA CLARA, CA. SHE WAS DRIVING IN THE PARKING LOT AND MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO THE PARKING STALL. AS SHE APPROACHED THE CONCRETE STOP AT THE END OF THE STALL, HER CAR WENT FULL THROTTLE AND STARTED GOING FORWARD. MY WIFE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR STILL CONTINUED GOING FORWARD. IT WENT OVER THE CONCRETE STOP, WENT ANOTHER 6 FEET PASS THE STOP, AND WENT OVER ANOTHER CONCRETE STRIP. THE 2 CONCRETE STOPS HELPED SLOW THE CAR DOWN, BUT STEPPING ON THE BRAKES DID NOT HELP. THE CAR STOPPED ABOUT 5 FEET FROM A BUILDING SO DAMAGE WAS JUST TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND SPLASH GUARD UNDER THE ENGINE. TOYOTA HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR SO IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. SINCE THIS OCCURRED AT A SCHOOL, I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN VIDEOS OF THE CAR FROM THE SCHOOL. IT SHOWS THE CAR ENTERING THE PARKING LOT FROM THE STREET, GOING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, AND TURNING INTO THE PARKING STALL. THE VIDEO SHOWS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON GOING INTO THE PARKING STALL, BUT THERE IS NO FOOTAGE OF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS GOING OVER THE CONCRETE STOPS. I'M HOPING NHTSA INVESTIGATES THE 2014 CAMRY AS THERE WERE OTHERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. JUST BECAUSE TOYOTA CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE DOESN'T MEAN THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. ANYONE WHO HAS TAKEN A CAR IN TO A MECHANIC WHO CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WOULD REALIZE THIS. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN CAR STOPS IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAY IF YOU DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR THINKS IT IS IN THIRD GEAR AND COMPUTER HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. THIS IS NOT GOOD BECAUSE YOU DO NOT ALWAYS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. .....UPDATED 03-03-15 *BF *TR UPDATED 9/21/2017*CN

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND HESITATE FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS.IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION WITH ON COMING CARS. IT IS INFREQUENT AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT HAPPENED ON FRIDAY 2/6/15 WITH MY GRANDKIDS IN THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TO DEALER ON12/30/2014 AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS. *JS

I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS A POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT TIS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, THAT IS, IT DOESN'T HAPPENED ALL THE TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS VERY NEW -100KM - AND I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS A VEHICLE AND NOTHING HAPPENED, THE CAR SEEMED TO BE DEAD THEN A FEW MOMENTS LATER - 1-2 SECONDS - THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF. THE NEXT IT HAPPENED WAS AT 2500 MILES AND THE CAR WAS ABOUT 20 MIN. INTO DRIVING IN THE LATE FALL . I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THE TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY. I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET INTO TRAFFIC AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED THE CAR JUST DIDN'T MOVE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TOOK OFF SPINNING ITS WHEELS AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON A VERY COLD DAY AND AGAIN I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AHEAD AND ... NOTHING. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST TOOK OFF. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY DROVE IT FOR 20 MINUTES AND AFTER A CHARGE OF $24.00 THEY SAID THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. I DID TELL THEM IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE OF THE LAPSE OF RESPONSE AND THEN A SUDDEN RESPONSE CAN LEAVE THE DRIVER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT I TRY NOT TO EXPECT IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FROM MY ACCELERATOR. HAS THERE BEEN ""HIDDEN RECALL" TO THIS PROBLEM?.....UPDATED 03-03-15 *BF UPDATED 3/24/2016 *JS UPDATED 9/21/2017*CN
