CAR STALLS SOMETIMES BUT HESITATE EVERY TIME I DRIVE ON STREETS WITH LOW SPEED LIMIT. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN OR SLOW TRAFFIC FLOW, CAR HESITATES FOR 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN ITS FINE. BUT THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. ON HIGHWAY SPEED, IT DOESN'T HESITATE OR STALL UNLESS I COME TO A STOP AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON US HIGHWAY 141IN WISCONSIN, JUST NORTH OF THE LINEVILLE RD EXIT. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT APPROX. 70 MPH. THE TEMP. WAS IN THE 60S AND THE SKY WAS OVERCAST WITH NO PRECIP. THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC AND I WAS ON A FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD WITH NO VEHICLES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OR BEHIND. THERE WAS NO CONSTRUCTION AND/OR ROAD EQUIPMENT IN SIGHT. I HAD NOT DRIVEN UNDER ANY STRUCTURES. SUDDENLY MY SUNROOF EXPLODED ABOVE MY HEAD. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND THE INTERIOR SCREEN WAS PULLED SHUT. I DID NOT SEE ANY OBJECTS OR ANIMALS, ONLY GLASS FLYING IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. IT WAS A TERRIFYING SOUND, LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEAREST EXIT IN A TOWING AREA AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A BIG HOLE IN THE GLASS AND SHARDS OF SHATTERED GLASS ON TOP OF THE INTERIOR SCREEN, WHICH HAD BEEN PULLED SHUT. I CALLED 911 AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. TWO BROWN COUNTY WIS. OFFICERS CAME AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE AND ASSESSED THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY KIND OF GUN SHOT. THE OFFICERS DOCUMENTED THE CALL. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE HOLDING THE INSIDE SCREEN WITH ONE HAND HOLDING IT SHUT, SO IT WOULD NOT BLOW OPEN, FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES TO MEET MY HUSBAND AND SWITCH CARS.I FELT VERY UNSAFE AND WAS SHAKEN, AS I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. I HAVE READ, ONLINE, THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS AND I BELIEVE IT IS A TOYOTA MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT BUT THEY SAID MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY CURRENT "PROGRAMS" AND IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT CUT BY GLASS, BUT WAS BADLY SHAKEN TO THE POINT OF FEELING NAUSEATED FOR HOURS AFTERWARDS.

THE CAMRY HYBRID COVERED ONLY BY WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ZKK ARE SUFFERING THE SAME DANGERS FROM BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY FAILURES AS THOSE TOYOTA COVERED BY TOYOTA SAFETY RECALLS (D0H & K0L). BY EXCLUDING CAMRY HYBRIDS WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKES FROM THE D0H AND K0L SAFETY RECALLS, TOYOTA IS LEAVING THE OWNERS TO HELPLESSLY EXPERIENCE LIFE-THREATENING BRAKE FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION BEFORE TOYOTA WILL PROVIDE THE REPLACEMENT BRAKE COMPONENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE. THE LAW REQUIRES TOYOTA TO PREVENT THE LIFE-THREATENING DANGERS OF THIS BRAKE DEFECT BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURS. TOYOTA'S COST-CUTTING STRATEGIES ARE CAUSING CRASHES AND INJURIES. INJURIES AND CRASHES CAUSED BY THE BRAKE DEFECT EXPLAINED IN THIS LETTER HAVE OCCURRED AND BEEN REPORTED TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. TOYOTA'S DECISION TO PROVIDE A REACTIONARY, POST-FAILURE REPAIR - INSTEAD OF A PREVENTATIVE SAFETY RECALL REMEDY - EXPLAINS MANY OF THE CRASHES AND INJURIES ON NHTSA'S SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE. BELOW IS A LIST OF RELEVANT COMPLAINTS FROM SAFERCAR.GOV. 'C' INDICATES A 'CRASH' AND 'I' INDICATES 'INJURY': 10681105 (C), 10883971 (C), 10971542 (C), 10664739(C)(I), 10807100 (C), 10794987 (C), 10605988(C), 11154818 (C)(I), 10606258, 10592072, 10967838, 10626061(C), 10604544 (C)(I), 10569158 (C)(I), 11090508 (C)(I), 11057737 (C)(I), 10779877(C)(I), 10722560 (C)(I), 10692225 (C), 10560809 (C), 10523025 (C), 10502158 (C), 10616767 (C), 10641347,10611145, 10596979, 1051996, 11003054, 10597316, 10705883, 10875822, 10510996, 10564619 C1256, C1253, C1252, AND C1391 - INDICATING DANGERS AND NONCOMPLIANCE - ARE BEING STORED IN VEHICLES EXCLUDED FROM THE PAST SAFETY RECALLS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
COMPLETE REPLACEMENT REQUIRED OF BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARINGS, BACKING PLATES, BRAKE CALIPERS, PADS AND ROTORS, WITH RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF TIRES, ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 52,000 MILES. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE INITIAL REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS ALMOST $4000.00. THE DEALER, HOWEVER, AGREED TO REPAIR FOR ABOUT $2500.00 (PASS THROUGH COST OF PARTS). THIS MATTER CAME TO LIGHT UPON HEARING A 'SCREECHING' NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING - THE SCREECHING NOISE SUGGESTING A WHEEL BEARING WAS FAILING. MANUFACTURER ALLEGES REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED DUE TO EXPOSURE OF THESE PARTS TO ROAD SALT. HOWEVER, I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES THAT WERE EXPOSED TO ROAD SALT AND NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH PROBLEMS. CONTRARY TO THE MANUFACTURER'S ALLEGATION, I SUSPECT A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THESE PARTS. IN FACT, ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE ABOVE PROBLEM, ANOTHER LIKE VEHICLE THAT WE OWN (2017 MODEL WITH ABOUT 15,000 MILES) EXPERIENCED A FROZEN REAR BRAKE CALIPER (ALLEGEDLY FOR THE SAME REASON, NAMELY, EXPOSE TO ROAD SALT) THAT IS BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE CAR WAS GOING 30-35MPH, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC. LETTING GO OF THE ACCELERATOR WAS FINE, BUT WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, CAR STALLED UNDER LOW RPM FOR 2-3 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED BACK IN MAY AND IT WAS JUST SOMETIMES. BUT NOW IT'S BEEN HAPPENING EVERYDAY ON LOW SPEEDS AND LOW RPM. IDLING IS FINE, CAR IS ALWAYS IN OPERATING TEMPERATURE WHEN STALLING HAPPENS (SO I KNOW THIS IS NOT RELATED TO COLD ENGINE). I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY'RE NOT SURE WHAT COULD CAUSE IT.

STEERING
STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER AFTER RIGHT TURNS EVERY TIME. IT HAPPENS IN WET OR DRY CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND ANY ANGLE OF TURN. THE PROBLEM IS TOO INTERMITTENT TO REPRODUCE. THERE IS A POP OR GRIND IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE IN A TURN AND FORCING THE WHEEL BACK TO CENTER. THE POP HAPPENS IN LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AFTER THE WHEEL HAS TURNED FULLY IN EITHER DIRECTION AND HAS TO BE FORCED TO RETURN TO CENTER. THE POP IS ALSO INTERMITTENT AND CANNOT BE REPRODUCED ON DEMAND. BOTH PROBLEMS ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO REPRODUCE FOR REPAIR ACCORDING TO TOYOTA OF AMERICA. THE PROBLEM ALSO HAPPENS IN WET OR DRY CONDITION AND ANY TEMPERATURE FROM FLORIDA TO VIRGINIA.

ENGINE
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. ONE TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THEN THE ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE RPM REMAINED AT IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED AND PUSHED DOWN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONE TIME. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CROSS TRAFFIC IS UNCONTROLLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION. THE U760E TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER RECALL UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT SOME TRANSMISSION HESITATION WAS NORMAL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO SAID THERE HAD BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CONDITION. THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS AND NOT NORMAL.

THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.
