SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS ENTERING FREEWAY ON RAMP. HEAVY TRAFFIC. BEAUTIFUL DAY, DRY ROADS. VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MADE BRAKED SUDDENLY. I QUICKLY APPLIED MY BRAKES. MY BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE.

WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES, MY CAR DID NOT EVEN TRY TO STOP, IT BASICALLY SLID 2 1/2 CAR LENGTHS INTO REAR OF VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE ONLY STOPPED MOVING BECAUSE IT WAS STOPPED BY VEHICLE IN FRONT.

SUSPENSION
WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION COLLAPSED. THE LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED CAUSING THE ENTIRE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION TO COLLAPSE AND FOLD INTO THE WHEEL WELL AND UNDER THE CAR. THIS ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER (PUSHED OUTWARD AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE). THE MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE/RIM TO "SLAP" THE CURB CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIM AND TIRE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE A YEAR OR MORE AGO. I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALER AND HE ASKED WHETHER I HAD GOTTEN GAS RECENTLY. YES, ABOUT 200 MILES AND 2 WEEKS AGO. HE CHECKED THE GAS CAP AND IT WAS LAYING IN THE GAS FILLING AREA, NOT SCREWED IN AT ALL. OBVIOUSLY IT HAD COME LOOSE SOMEHOW. HE CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND SOMETHING LIKE "GAS LINE VACUME" CAME UP. HE SCREWED IN THE GAS CAP. EASY FIX, BUT SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW WITH THE SAME CAR AND I HAVE HAD DOZENS OF CARS AND DRIVEN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM, I WONDER IF IT IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT...

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRUNK LID WONT HOLD UP. IT EASILY COLLAPSES IF CAR IS PARKED ON THE SLIGHTEST OF INCLINE OR IS HIT WITH A SLIGHT BREEZE. THE TRUNK HAS COLLAPSES ON MY HEAD SEVERAL TIMES WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES. MY CONCERN IS THE TRUNK LID CLOSING ON A TODDLER. MY OTHER TWO CAMRYS, YEAR 2001 AND 2003, DO NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM. THOSE OLDER CAMRYS SEEM TO HAVE STRONGER TORSION BARS AND/OR HINGES AND/OR HOLDING MECHANISMS. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUNK LID AND ITS MECHANISM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING FRO A RED LIGHT, OR MAKING A TURN, AND STEPPING ON THE GAS LIGHTLY, THE CAR WILL GET UP 12 TO 15 MILES PERHOUR AND THERE WILL BE A COMPLETE HESITATION AND AND LAG AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL TAKE OFF AND SPEED UP. THE SPEED IS THEN CONTROLLABLE AND THE BRAKES DO WORK, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THIS CAUSES CARS BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME AND WHEN MY AUTO SPEEDS UP, TOL TRY TO CONTOL MY CAR SO I DO NOT HIT THE CARS AHEAD OF ME. THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT IS A DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER, MY ASSIGNED TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISER SCREAMED AT ME AND SAID " DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DRIVERS COME IN AND TELL ME THE SAME STORY"?. ONE HOUR LATER HE CAME BACK TO ME SAID " THE SERVICE TECH DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, DO YOU EXPECT US TO KEEP IT HERE AND SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN"? MA 10/14 UPDATED 12/12/2017*CN

STEERING
WHILE PARKED THE POWER STEERING ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) FAILED, RENDERING THE STEERING INEFFECTIVE. AT SPEED THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM NOW VERY FEARFUL OF MY WIFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH A SYSTEM AS CRITICAL AS THE STEERING UNIT THAT FAILS PREMATURELY WHEN ONLY 2YRS. OLD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 26MPH INTO AN INTERSECTION AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN FOR NO REASON. AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, I STARTED PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE OTHER MA 10/22/2015 CARS TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. AS I KEPT PUMPING ON THE ACCELERATOR MY TRANSMISSION APPARENTLY DOWN SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR AND THE CAR TOOK OFF IN A GIANT LEAP FORWARD, ALMOST BROAD SIDING THE CAR THAT WAS PASSING IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR HAS CONTINUALLY STALLED MANY TIMES SINCE THEN. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING BEFORE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW?

POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, IT HESITATES WHEN STEPPING ON IT TO GO. IT WILL GO ABOUT 5 - 10 FEET AND HESITATE, JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE EVERYONE BEHIND YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING AND THEY CLOSE BEHIND YOU ENOUGH TO ALMOST HIT YOU BECAUSE THEY DON'T REALIZE THE CARE HESITATES. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 4 TIMES. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HESITATION OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING ACROSS AN INTERSECTION OR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, USUALLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. CAR INITIALLY STARTS THEN HESITATES & FEELS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF. TO GET ACROSS THE INTERSECTION YOU NEED TO "FLOOR IT" WHICH MAKES THE ENGINE "ROAR" BUT LITTLE ACTION FOR ALL THE NOISE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN 2 YRS (ESTIMATED DATE & MILEAGE FOR 1ST OCCURRENCE). SOMETIMES THERE ARE LONG STRETCHES BETWEEN OCCURRENCES. IT IS DANGEROUS & I LACK CONFIDENCE AT TIMES TO PULL OUT. THE TECHNICIAN DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM WHEN MENTIONED ON 2 STOPS AT THE DEAL FOR AN OIL CHANGE. TORQUE CONVERTER SOFTWARE UPDATE MADE NO DIFFERENCE. MY PREVIOUS CAMRY NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.
