ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

POWER TRAIN
INTERMITTENT SHUDDER : I EXPERIENCED SHUDDERING IN MY VEHICLE DURING 25--50 MPH SPEED AND SHUDDERING IS HEAVY WHEN I DRIVE UPHILL ROADS AND IN SNOW. WHEN HAPPENS I FELT VIBRATION ON THE GAS PEDAL AND SLIGHT VIBRATION ON STEERING WHEELS AND CAR WILL NOT MOVE UNDER NORMAL GAS PEDAL PRESS. I TOOK TO THE DEALER UNDER TOYOTA WARRANTY THEY REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER AND ADDED COUPLE OF PAN MAGNETS TO COLLECT DEBRIS FROM TRANSMISSION , BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I INFORMED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SINCE THEN I WENT TO THE DEALER FOUR MORE TIMES FOR THE ISSUE BUT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD PRESS GAS PEDAL HARDER WHEN SHUDDERING OCCURS , BUT THAT WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND PUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER HARMS WAY. DURING SNOW THE POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENT WILL BE MUCH HIGHER I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARDER AND THAT WILL LEAD TO AN SPINOFF AND ACCIDENTS. FINALLY I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THE ISSUE IS NOT TORQUE CONVERTER AND I HAVE TO DRIVE THE WAY IT IS. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM AND I WANT TOYOTA TO RECALL AND FIX THIS SHUDDERING ISSUE BEFORE PUT SOMEONE'S LIFE IN DANGER. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MAY 25, 2017, WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE AT A SHOPPING CENTER, MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL THRU THE PARKING SPACE WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND IT DID NOT STOP THE CAR. MY CAR CONTINUED TO TRAVEL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THRU THE PARKING LOT EMBANKMENT AND WENT THRU BRUSHES/SHRUBS WHICH IS WHERE THE CAR STOPPED AFTER IT BLEW A TIRE AND WAS STOPPED BY THE SHRUBS. DUE TO THE DAMAGE UNDER THE CAR IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE.THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND SEEMS TO LOSE POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. WHETHER I DRIVE IN TOWN OR FREEWAY (I ONLY COMMUTE 11 MILES TO WORK). THIS IS ESPECIALLY PROBLEMATIC AND DOWNRIGHT SCARY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS OR CHANGING LANES. I PRESS ON THE GAS AND THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DELAY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ENGINE 'STALLS' OR 'HESITATES' WHEN GOING INTO MOTION FROM A STOPPED OR SLOW POSITION, AS IN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING ON A SIDE ROAD. IT IS SPORADIC SO I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE THE VEHICLE 'STOPS' INSTEAD OF GOING FASTER. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PAT THE GAS A FEW TIMES TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS RUNNING CORRECTLY ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER. THEY SUGGESTED I BRING IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHICH I DID SEVERAL TIMES, BUT SINCE IT IS SPORADIC, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THEM. THEY KEEP SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE MECHANICS SHRUG AND SAY THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT FROM READING THIS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. WHEN AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS, LET IT BE KNOWN NOW THAT I HAVE MADE IT PUBLIC THAT THERE IS INDEED A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR THAT THEY NEED TO ADDRESS. THE CAR HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH TO THIS DAY.

THE ISSUE: A SERVICE PROVIDER VIOLATING THE 'MAKE INOPERATIVE' PROVISION OF THE LAW. WE PURCHASED FOUR TIRES AT SAM"S CLUB #8247, IN HOMEWOOD, AL. WHEN THEY RETURNED THE CAR WE RECEIVED AN ENVELOPE WITH THE INVOICE, THE KEYS AND A BROKEN "AIR PRESSER SENSOR". THEY JUST HANDED US THE ENVELOPE AND MADE NO MENTION OF THE BROKEN SENSOR. WE ASK THE YOUNG MAN YOU WAITED ON US 'WHAT HAPPEN' ? HE HAD NO CLUE, HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE SENSOR WAS. AFTER LOOKING AT THE INVOICE SOMEONE HAD WRITTEN AT THE BOTTOM 'ROD BROKE SENSOR'. WE TALKED TO A STORE MANAGER SHE TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP, PAY FOR THE REPAIR, BRING THEM THE INVOICE AND THAT SAM'S WOULD REIMBURSE US FOR THE COST UP $350.00. IT MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED THE SENSOR BEFORE ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THEIR SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ON THEIR PARKING LOT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND USUALLY COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE, ABS, AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE IN THE DASHBOARD AND WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL CAR IS RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I USE VEHICLE SINCE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT NORMAL BRAKING DURING NICE WEATHER OUTSIDE. I AM CONCERN DURING WET WEATHER, THE ABS AND/OR TRACTION CONTROL MAY FAIL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. CAR HAS ONLY ABOUT 16,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IS OUT OF 3 YEAR WARRANTY.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AC CONDENSER UNIT PLUGS AND CREATES MOLD AND BAD SMELL FROM VENTS. MOLD CAUSES PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES TO START HAVING REACTIONS. IN ADDITION, THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE ACCUMULATED WATER MAY THEN LEAK THROUGH A SEAM IN THE HOUSING ONTO THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A SHORT CIRCUIT OF THE MODULE. A SHORT CIRCUIT MAY CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO BECOME DISABLED OR INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY. THIS IS SIMILAR TO 2013 CAMRY MODEL RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V442000. I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD EXTEND TO 2014 CAMRY MODEL AS WELL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
HAD TO REPLACE MY O2 SENSOR AT MY OWN COST OF $430 DUE TO A RODENT CHEWING IT. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME IN AND THIS WAS WHY I GOT IT CHECKED. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALER SAID RODENTS LOVE THE INSULATION ON THE WIRING IN THESE CARS. I FEEL THAT SOY BASED WIRING IS WHY THIS HAPPENED AND WAS NOT MY FAULT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY TOYOTA. MY CAR IS PARKED WHERE 3 OTHER OLDER VEHICLES ALSO PARK AND THEY DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE. ONLY MY CAR WAS AFFECTED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT THEIR EXPENSE.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE WE PURCHASES THIS CAR IN 2014, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GAS PEDAL BEING PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR NOT MOVING. THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS WE HAD OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. WHICH IS NOT TRUE. ALL TIMES THE AUTO WAS IN MOTION AND WE STEPPED ON THE GAS TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED. 2ND. THE DRIVER SIDE RIGHTS ROUGH, AND WHEN A POT HOLE IS HIT WITH THE LEFT WHEEL IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL HITTING METAL. WHEN GOING INTO A RIGHT TURN 65-75 MPH THE AUTO FEELS LIKE IT IS SKIPPING OFF THE ROAD, TO A POINT IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. WE HAVE RECORDS FROM TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, GOING BACK TO OCT. 2014. WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU CAN DO. [XXX], [XXX], E-MAIL [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TOYOTA FINALLY RELEASED THE VEHICLE BACK TO US. TOYOTA SENT US AN EMAIL STATING THEY DISCOVERED NOTHING WRONG. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO COOKS COLLISION OF DAVIS CA. WHICH WAS A REPAIR SHOP RECOMMENDED BY OUR INSURANCE LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE CO. THE INSURANCE CLAIM #PD000-034712120-01.
