GAS PEDAL ON OCCASION FAILS TO MOVE CAR FORWARD, WHEN IT DOES THE AUTO JUMPS FORWARD. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THIS FAILURE. AUTO FEELS LIKE IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SUSPENSION. WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEED LIMITS, AUTO BOUNCES AROUND TURNS AS IF IT WAS GOING OVER SMALL SPEED BUMPS IN THE ROAD. WE TRAVEL ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND EVERY IMPERFECTION IS FELT BY ALL PASSENGERS, AND CAN BE SEEN IN VIBRATIONS NOTICED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT, THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD BY THIS DEALER THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTO, HOWEVER, WE HAD TO LEAVE THIS DEALERSHIP BEFORE FURTHER ACTION COULD BE TAKEN. OUR NEW LOCAL DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OR SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. *TR

I HAVE HAD A PERSISTENT NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT END OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT. I HAD TO THE DEALER ON 7/3/14 (HAD BEEN HEARING IT FOR SOME TIME BY THEN) BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HEAR ANYTHING. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN AND I DO PLAN TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. I DID NOTICE THAT THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V715000) FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL FOR A POSSIBLE LOWER ARM MALFUNCTION, ALTHOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE INCLUDED IN IT AT THIS TIME. SO I JUST WANT TO GET THIS NOTED, VIA THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

TIE ROD BROKE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, THOUGH I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS HIT WAS WHY THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY. *TR

OWNER OF 2014 CAMRY SINCE MARCH 2014.IN DECEMBER 2014 I EXPERIENCE MY CAR HAVING ISSUES EVERY TIME I WILL GO ON REVERSE IT WILL MAKE A CLANK NOISE. THE MORE THE CAR WILL RUN THE WORSE THE NOISE GOT. FINALLY, I SET UP TIME WITH NORWALK TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO TAKE MY CAR AND GET IT SERVICE AND HAVE AN INSPECTION. I RECEIVED THE RESULTS ON 1/13/2015 DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME A CLAIM WAS FILED WITH TOYOTA IN REGARDS TO THIS AND THE ENGINEERS CAME TO CONCLUSION OF REPAIRING TRANSMISSION. THE CLAIM IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION AT THIS MOMENT BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I NOTICED THERE IS 3 RECALLS WHICH WAS INFORMED TO ME BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS ONLY PERFORMED ONE. VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WITH TOYOTA WHICH HAS NOT HANDLED THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THAT CAN CAUSE AN INJURY OR UNSAFE OF HUMANS DRIVING THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

DRIVING ON I-70 EAST OF FREDERICK, MD UP LONG HILL WHEN CAR LOST POWER. SPEED DROPPED FROM 75 TO 50 MPH. I WAS IN CENTER LANE AND TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. NARROWLY AVOIDED MULTI-CAR PILEUP WHILE TRYING TO WORK MY WAY TO SHOULDER. NOTHING ON DASHBOARD INDICATED PROBLEM. NO UNUSUAL ODORS OR SOUNDS. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 4 HOURS WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHEN I RETURNED TO FLORIDA 3 DAYS LATER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES APPEARED ON THEIR EQUIPMENT AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE NO HILLS IN THE AREA. TOOK CAR TO A SECOND DEALER AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. DEALER RECOMMENDS 6 CYLINDER CAR. I HAVE DRIVEN NOTHING BUT 4 CYLINDER CARS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN THEM FROM COAST TO COAST INCLUDING COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA AND CALIFORNIA. I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE 4 CYLINDER CARS ON ANY TERRAIN. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THE CAR HAS A DEFECT WHICH COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND THE LACK OF DIAGNOSIS INDICATES TO ME A FAILURE IN THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. *TR

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE AND TURNING ON A/C A VERY FOUL ODOR OF MILDEW AND MOLD COMES FROM THE VENTS. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CLEANING AND REPLACED THE FILTER WITH A CARBON ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AT OUR EXPENSE. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. WE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OF RUNNING AC IN NON RECIRCULATING MODE TO NO AVAIL. TOYOTA DOES NOT SEEN TO WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED OF OUR HEALTH FROM INHALING THESE MOLD SPORES AND BACTERIA. *TR

UPDATED 11/17/14 THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO WITHDRAW HER COMPLAINT, TO GIVE THE DEALER MORE TIME AND OPPORTUNITY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 11/20/14

PICKED UP A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY XLE. LEAVING THE DEALER THE LIGHT REFLECTING OFF THE DASH ONTO THE WINDSHIELD REDUCED VISIBILITY TO THE POINT THAT I COULD HARDLY SEE THE ROAD. *TR

THE DASH BOARD IS MELTED AND VERY STICKY AS A RESULT OF THIS IT IS CAUSING SUN GLARE MAKING IT HARD FOR ME TO SEE CLEARLY WHEN I'M DRIVING . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800.

I WAS MAKING A TURN OUT OF A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, BUT WHEN I MADE THE TURN THE PLASTIC COVERING OVER MY STEERING WHEEL FLEW OFF AND FELL TO THE GROUND. I WAS ABLE TO STEER AND HIT THE BRAKES JUST IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING A PARKED CAR. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BRAKE SINCE THE COVER HIT THE GROUND AND PREVENTED ME FROM MOVING EASILY TO HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

MELTING DASHBOARD: THE DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING ABOUT TWO (2) YEARS AGO AND IT CONTINUE TO GET WORST. THE GLARE FROM THE SHINY DASHBOARD MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY AND THE SUN IS IN A POSITION THAT A GLARE RESULTS. APART FROM THE AESTHETICS OF THE DASHBOARD,, THE GLARE CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES TO DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND OTHERS. *TR

THE TOYOTA CAMRY WAS INVOLVED IN A 2 VEHICLE ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CORNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAMRY WAS NOT DRIVABLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. TWO DAYS LATER WHEN AN INSPECTOR WENT TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE FIRE DAMAGE THAT RESULTED FROM A SLOW BURN COMING FROM THE DASH BY THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

ON AUGUST 11, 2014, WHILE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM ON INTERSTATE 20 IN MISSISSIPPI, I HEARD SOMETHING HARD STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD. A MOMENT LATER I SAW A CRACK ABRUPTLY RUN FROM THE EDGE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SEAT. THE CRACK HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 12 INCHES BEFORE STOPPING. I INSPECTED THE WINDSHIELD WHEN WE ARRIVED HOME AND DISCOVERED THAT SOMETHING STRUCK THE UNPROTECTED EDGE OF THE GLASS. ON ALL VEHICLES I'VE DRIVEN TO DATE (INCLUDING OUR 2008 TOYOTA YARIS) THE VULNERABLE WINDSHIELD EDGES ARE PROTECTED WITH TRIM OR GASKETS BUT NOT ON OUR 2014 CAMRY. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT THAT EDGE PROTECTORS WERE MISSING FROM OUR VEHICLE BUT WE INSPECTED ALL THE CAMRYS AT OUR DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT ALL HAVE EXPOSED WINDSHIELD EDGES. EXPOSED WINDSHIELD EDGES ARE VERY DANGEROUS. ROADWAYS ARE LITTERED AND CONTAIN CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS (GRAVEL, METAL AND OTHER MATERIALS) THAT COULD STRIKE A CAR WHEN DRIVEN OVER AND LAUNCHED INTO TRAFFIC. WHILE SAFETY GLASS WILL ABSORB A GREAT DEAL OF IMPACT, ITS INTEGRITY IS COMPROMISED WHEN CRACKED SUCH AS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY 2014 CAMRY. ANY SHARP STRIKE TO THE EDGE OF GLASS WILL CAUSE A CRACK TO DEVELOP THAT COULD RESULT IN COMPLETE WINDSHIELD FAILURE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, A SUDDEN CRACK WILL STARTLE A DRIVER AND MAY RESULT IN THEIR LOSING CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO ALL DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I UTILIZED THE TOYOTA 3-TIER COMPLAINT PROCESS WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE TOYOTA COMPANY DOES NOT BELIE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WERE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. AS A RESULT, BOTH PEDALS WERE DEPRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,300.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LOST POWER WHEN I "STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR" TO COMPENSATE FOR A SLIGHT UPGRADE ON THE FREEWAY, AND SUBSEQUENTLY SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, FORCING ME TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IDLED NORMALLY WHILE PARKED ON THE SHOULDER; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 20-25 MPH, AND FORCED SLOW TRAVEL ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD IN AN ATTEMPT TO REACH THE NEAREST OFF-RAMP.. I WAS FORCED TO TRAVEL ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH FOR TWO OR THREE MILES. EACH TIME I ATTEMPTED TO "STEP ON THE GAS" WHILE TRAVELING OF THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE WOULD "STUMBLE", APPEAR TO LOSE POWER, AND FORCE ME TO LET UP ON THE "GAS." AFTER TRAVELING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY FOR TWO TO THREE MILES, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY REGAINED POWER AND ALLOWED ME TO RESUME FREEWAY TRAVEL AT 55-60 MPH. PRIOR TO THE 24 AUGUST, 2014, INCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY LOST POWER WHEN ACCELERATING ON A FREEWAY ON-RAMP; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY A MOMENTARY EVENT THAT CORRECTED ITSELF IN A FEW SECONDS. *TR

THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COOL DOWN WITH A/C AT ANY SPEED. AIR IS ICE COLD AT VENTS BUT NOTHING REACHES THE BACK EVEN AT FULL BLAST. VERY DANGEROUS FOR KIDS OR REALLY ANYONE OVER A FEW HOURS IN 100 DEGREE HEAT LET ALONE 120 DEGREES. THIS WAS A RENTAL AND GLAD NOT STUCK WITH IT. *TR

UPON ACCELERATION AFTER A START INTO A TRAFFIC LANE THE ENGINE STALLED. THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP, IT JUST STALLED UNTIL THE SPEED DROPPED TO ABOUT 5 MPH THEN STARTED TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED ALMOST EVERY TIME I OPERATE THE VEHICLE AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED. SOMETIMES AFTER SLOWING FROM ABOUT 45 MPH TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND RE-ACCELERATE, IT STALLS FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING NOW SINCE PURCHASE JUNE 11, 2014. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIME DUE TO THIS STALLING WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC AND OTHER CARS ARE EFFECTED. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT PROBLEM NEVER APPEARED BEFORE. THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA DEALER FOR INSPECTION. LICENSED TOYOTA DEALER IN WASHINGTON, NC KEPT THIS VEHICLE TWO DAYS AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE THREE TIME AND AM TOLD EACH TIME THEY NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE AND JUST KEEP TAKING IT IN FOR INSPECTION. SELLING DEALER, TOYOTA OF NEW BERN, NEW BERN, NC DID NOT WANT TO EVEN DISCUSS WHAT I COULD DO. THEIR CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER WILL NOT NOW RETURN MY CALLS. AGAIN TODAY, IT STALLED AND WOULD NOT TAKE THE GAS UNTIL IT ALMOST STOPPED IN TRAFFIC FROM 30 MPH DOWN TO 5 MPH. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC, IT THEN TOOK THE GAS AGAIN. IT IS LIKE, WHAT I CALL "VAPOR LOCK". TOYOTA HAS ASSIGNED CASE # 1406180890

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A POLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY,FOOT ON BRAKE SPEED 10MPH.SLOWING TO STOP WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE BY ITSELF.I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED FULL BRAKES,VEHICLE CAME TO STOP. TOYOTA NEEDS TO REALLY LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I WILL BE CALLING TOYOTA ON MONDAY 7/28/2014 TO REPORT MY PROBLEM. UPDATED 4/8/2015 *JS

APPROACHING STOP SIGN, APPLIED BRAKE AND ENGINE ACCELERATED AND LUNGED FORWARD. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ENGINE SLOWED DOWN. WITH FOOT STILL ON BRAKE PUT CAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED AGAIN AND LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT A TRUCK. THIS HAD HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WE EVEN TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS A WEEK AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOLD THE SALESMAN ABOUT IT AND HE SAID IT WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" AND THERE WAS A SENSOR IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND IF YOU GOT TOO CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT WOULD MAKE THE CAR STOP. *TR

AFTER 3 DAYS I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO LOOKING FOR THE TRUNK LOCK - I.E . THE KEY LOCK FEATURE THAT DISABLES THE TRUNK RELEASE NEXT TO THE DRIVER. ONLY THERE ISN'T ONE! HOW COULD THIS BE? MY RECENTLY TRADED 2003 HONDA AND OLDER HONDA'S I'VE OWNED ALL HAD THIS FEATURE - I ASSUMED TOYOTA DID TOO - A DETAIL THAT DIDN'T LOOM LARGE WHEN INITIALLY REVIEWING THE CAR BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT HAD ONE. SO AFTER RESEARCH AND MUCH TO MY DISMAY (I RETURNED A PERFECT 2014 RAV4 BECAUSE I FELT "EXPOSED" WITH ITEMS IN THE INTERIOR LUGGAGE AREA) I NOW FIND THIS VEHICLE ALSO "EXPOSES" ME TO POTENTIAL LOSS BECAUSE I CANNOT SECURE MY PERSONAL ITEMS. I AM NOT THE FIRST TO COMMENT TO THIS FLAW AND TOYOTA CERTAINLY HAS HAD TIME TO CORRECT THE ISSUE (2 YRS) BUT APPARENTLY DECIDED NOT TO. TOYOTA SHOULD CORRECT THIS FLAW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - THE BEST SELLING CAR IN AMERICA CAN BE A THIEF'S BEST TOO. *TR

BOUGHT A NEW 2014 CAMRY SE ON 6-21-2014...DROVE IT LAST NIGHT TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW IS EXCESSIVELY DISTORTED...THROUGH MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR I AM UNABLE TO DISCERN: THE NUMBER OF CARS BEHIND ME...POSITION OF CARS IN WHICH LANES THEY ARE TRAVELING...UNABLE TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLE IS BEHIND ME (I.E. 18 WHEELER, MOTORCYCLE OR A CAR WITH ONE OR TWO HEADLIGHTS). AS I LOOK THROUGH THE REAR MIRROR LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT, IMAGES GET SMALLER THEN BIG THEN BACK TO SMALLER AND SO FORTH. THIS IS ONGOING AND DANGEROUS FOR ALL DRIVERS. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SAFELY CHANGE LANES LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I COULD NOT TELL WHO OR WHAT WAS IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE I THINK... CAN YOU HELP ME? THANKS *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED, 2014 SE V6 CAMRY WITH 60MILES ON IT, ONLY 5 WEEKS OLD NOW, I DIDN'T NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 65+ THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT, CAR WILL NOT COME BACK TO CENTER WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, I CAN LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO TURN. FEELS LIKE IM DRIVING ON A VERY RAINY/WINDY DAY, VERY FLIMSY. I WOULD HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE CAR TO GO STRAIGHT, BROUGHT IT IN TO TOYOTA DEALER FOUR TIMES NOW, HAD 2 ALIGNMENTS DONE BY TOYOTA, STILL NO HELP, ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS, "THATS HOW THE CAR IS DESIGNED", AFTER THAT THEY TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS DEFECTIVE TIRES, WHICH WAS NOT TRUE, I SWAPPED OUT THE TIRES, STILL DIDN'T HELP. SO YOU ARE TELLING ME A CAR THAT DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER IS NORMAL?? I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL?? VERY VERY BAD PERFORMANCE, I WILL NOT LET MY MOTHER DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES, VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

CAR IS STOPPED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, A/C IS ON. UPON RELEASING BRAKE BEFORE PLACING FOOT ON GAS THE CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS. THE ENGINE RPM MEASURED AT DEALER WAS 640 TO 670. A REQUEST TO INCREASE IDLE RPM TO 700/750 WAS DENIED. THE ANSWER WAS CONFIRMED BY DEALER THAT RPM IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. MY CONCERN IS THE POSSIBILITY OF HITTING THE CAR BEHIND ME OR HITTING A PEDESTRIAN THAT IS BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR BEHIND ME. *TR

NEW CAR PURCHASE. 40 YEAR BUYER OF TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES. APPARENTLY TOYOTA DISCONTINUED A KEY TRUNK LOCKING FEATURE INCLUDED IN ALL PREVIOUS YEARS AND MODELS OF TOYOTA. THEY PROVIDE A "VALET KEY" WHICH KEEPS VALETS OUT OF THE GLOVE BOX BUT NOT OUT OF THE TRUNK AS WAS THE CASE WITH ALL PREVIOUS VALET KEYS PROVIDED WITH MY PREVIOUS 3 CAMRY'S AND 2 COROLLAS. TOYOTA DEALER ADVISE ME THAT I COULD GET A KEY LOCKING TRUNK ON THE AVALON A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. HE ALSO SUGGESTED I COULD GET ANOTHER MANUFACTURERS CAR. HONDA HAS KEY LOCKING TRUNKS. CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATION OF AMERICA RESULTED IN A SUGGESTION THAT I NOT STORE VALUABLE IN THE TRUNK OR TO REMOVE ALL VALUABLES FROM THE TRUNK WHILE TRAVELING. SINCE THE TRUNK RELEASE CAN BE TRIGGERED BY ANYONE SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE TRUNK CAN FLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IN MOTION ALLOWING THE CONTENTS TO BE BLOWN OUT OF THE TRUNK AN INTO THE PATH OF FOLLOWING VEHICLES. THIS OCCURRED ONCE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PICK UP A KERCHIEF THAT FELL TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING. THE KERCHIEF CAUGHT ON THE RELEASE ANT THE TRUNK POPPED OPEN. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE TRUNK. THE TRUNK DID BLOCK MY REAR VIEW UNTIL I COULD SAFELY MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO CLOSE IT. TOYOTA HAS ADMITTED THAT THE NO KEY LOCK TRUNK WAS A DESIGN ERROR AND MY CONCERN WOULD BE FORWARDED TO SOME DEPARTMENT OR OTHER FOR INCLUSION IN THEIR FUTURE DESIGNS? *TR

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BY QUALITY OF WINDSHIELD AND MATERIALS USED IN MAKING IT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EVENING OF 25TH APRIL, 2014 DURING RAIN AND I DID NOT EVEN REALIZE IF ANY THING HIT AS A PROJECTILE TO MY WINDSCREEN BUT IN THE MORNING THERE WAS A CRACK WHICH HAD SPREAD GREATER THAN A FOOT IN LENGTH. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS QUALITY OF MATERIAL USED WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING AND SECONDARY CONCERN IS THE COST OF REPLACEMENT VS REPAIR. IF THE CRACK HAD NOT SPREAD AT SUCH AN ALARMING RATE, IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A REPAIR WHICH COSTS 8 TIMES LESS THAN REPLACEMENT COST WHICH IS BEING COVERED BY MYSELF AND INSURANCE. IT JUST MAKES ME QUESTION THE TYPE OF MATERIALS USED, POSSIBILITY OF SUPPLIER MANUFACTURING ISSUE, SOME ISSUE WITH THE RAW MATERIALS USED IN MAKING THE GLASS MOLD BUT OVERALL IT JUST HAS GREATLY DISAPPOINTED ME IN TOYOTA BRAND. I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE COST OF SUCH REPLACEMENTS BUT I WAS HOPING THAT TOYOTA WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST TAKE THIS SAMPLE AND ANALYZE IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS NOT A TREND AND JUST A SINGLE INCIDENT OF BAD PRODUCT QUALITY. *JS

MY FATHER WAS TRYING TO PULL INTO PARKING SPACE AT VERY SLOW SPEED WHEN CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH FORCE THAT IT JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT THE LIGHT POLE. MY FATHER'S FEET WERE NOT ON THE GAS PADDLE. HE RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW CAR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. THIS IS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA HAS NOT FIXED THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR TOYOTA CAMRY ON JAN.13,2014 BRAND NEW FROM KOON TOYOTA LEES BURG PIKE,VA..TO DAY APRIL.23,2014 AT 10.21 AM MORNING.

I CONCERN ABOUT THAT UN INTENDED ACCELERATED,AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED? AND PASSENGER SIDE SAFETY BELT DOES NOT WORK AS SHE HAVE BELTS ON. TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD CHECK SAFETY CONCERN. THIS BRAND NEW CAR.CAR IS NOT SAFE. COMPLETELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON 3/28/2014 I WAS HEADING WEST OFF OF MIKE PADGETT HIGHWAY IN AUGUSTA GA AFTER I HAD MADE ALL OF CURVES ON THE ON RAMP I STARTED TO SPEED UP SO I COULD MERGE IN TRAFFIC ON THE 520 BYPASS WHEN MY CAR VEERED TO THE LEFT HITTING A CONCRETE BARRIER I MANAGED TO JERK THE CAR BACK TO THE RIGHT I PULLED MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAW THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND RIM WAS RUINED I PUT THE SPARE TIRE FROM THE TRUNK ON IT WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE FORWARD IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND I GOT BACK OUT OF MY CAR AND SAW THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE POINTED INWARD I THEN GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND CAREFULLY GOT IT OFF OF THE ON RAMP TO A GAS STATION AND CALLED TOYOTA CAR THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO WHERE I WAS AND TOWED MY CAR TO MILTON RUEBEN TOYOTA I PURCHASED THE 2014 CAMRY ON 3/27/2014, THE CAR WAS ADDED TO MY POLICY AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND THEY GAVE ME A RUN AROUND, I SUBMITTED THE DOCUMENTS REQUESTED IMMEDIATELY AND A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED, THEN THEY TOLD ME ON THE 8 APRIL 2014 AND THEY SAID THAT [XXX] WOULD LOOK AT IT TODAY, SHE GAVE ME A CALL AND SAID THE BODY WOULD NEED TO BE FIXED PRIOR TO THEM LOOKING AT THE MECHANICAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAD 125 MILES, AND THE BODY NEEDS TO BE FIXED PRIOR TO THE ALIGNMENT. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I DO? SINCE THE ACCIDENT MY LEFT LEG AND SMALL OF MY BACK HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME WHEN I HAD THE ACCIDENT I DIDN'T THINK I WAS HURT BUT SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE I TRIED TAKING PAIN PILLS BUT IT IS NOT GETTING BETTER . I HAD A

ENGINE HAS LOW (RPM) 650-670 WHEN STOPPED WITH BRAKE APPLIED ON SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED CAR ROLLS BACKWARD BEFORE GAS CAN BE APPLIED. THE CAR DIRECTLY BEHIND ME IF TOO CLOSE, CAN BE HIT BY MY CAR ROLLING BACKWARDS IDLE RPM SHOULD BE INCREASED TOO 750-800 TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM TOYOTA SAID THEY CAN NOT ADJUST THE IDLE RPM. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM SUBURBAN TOYOTA. WITHIN A MONTH I STARTED GETTING SEVERE NECK PAIN. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. DEALER CHECKED AND SUGGESTED EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT WITH THE SEATS. FEB 28TH - I WAITED FOR ANOTHER MONTH OR SO AND WENT FOR FIRST SERVICE AROUND 4,700 MILES...AGAIN I TOLD THE DEALER THAT I CAN'T DRIVE ANY LONGER AND THE ISSUE WITH THE "HEAD REST" NEED TO BE FIXED. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING AS THEY DO NOT SEE MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE SEAT. FEB 28TH - AS MY GRIEVANCES WERE NOT ADDRESSED, I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SUPPORT (800) 331-4331 AND DISCUSSED THE ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT BUT TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANY ISSUES RELATED TO SEAT OR HEAD REST FOR CAMRY 2014 MODEL CARS. MY NECK PAIN IS INCREASING AS I DRIVE THIS CAR. I SUSPECT THAT THERE MUST BE DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS MODEL YEAR CAMRY. I SINCERELY REQUEST YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS IT WOULD LEAD TO PHYSICAL DISABILITY OVER A PERIOD. *TR
