ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT. DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR HESITATES AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATES. THIS IN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT STARTED ABOUT 34,000 MILES. EVERY TIME I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS.

WEIRD SMELL COMES OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS WHEN THE AC COMPRESSOR IS ACTIVATED. THE SMELL INDICATES MOLD BUILDUP WITHIN THE VENTS. THERE ARE MANY OTHER ONLINE FORUMS THAT MENTION THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO PUBLIC HEALTH (SOME PEOPLE ARE DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO MOLD) AND MAY CAUSE DRIVER IMPAIRMENT AS A RESULT. VARIOUS TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA OFFERED SERVICES TO REPLACE THE VENTING SYSTEM, BUT THAT'S EXPENSIVE AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAY. I AM LUCKY THAT IT'S ONLY WHEN I HAVE CIRCULATION ON WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING. I DO NOT NOTICE IT WITH HEATING THE INTERIOR AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM FOR THESE MODEL YEARS (2012-2014) OF CAMRYS. THIS SMELL OCCURS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT, BUT IT DOES SEEM TO GO AWAY WHEN NOT IN CIRCULATION MODE ON THE CLIMATE CONTROLS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I SEEN THAT SOMEONE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR FEELING LIKE THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS BRAKING WHEN THEY PRESSED ON THE GAS. I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAMRY AND FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS TRYING TO FIX THERE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THEY PUT SOMETHING IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT STOP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING. SO, I HAD A PROBLEM HAVING MY LEFT FOOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BY TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD SLOW THE CAR AND STOP IT FROM ACCELERATING. I JUST STOPPED TOUCHING THE BRAKE AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. TRY EXCELLERATING THEN TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL SLIGHTLY WHILE STILL EXCELLERATING AND SEE IF THIS SLOWS THE CAR FROM EXCELLERATING. THAT MIGHT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATES AND SHAKES HARD UPON ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR TORQUE INVERTER REPAIR. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER TWO MORE TIMES, BUT THEY INSISTED THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERN. THE CAR SHAKES HARD WHEN DRIVING AT 20-30 M/H AND MOST OF THE TIME AT 40-50 M/H. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HWY AS IT DOESN'TACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED LIMIT. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. INCIDENT OCCURRED SATURDAY OCTOBER 15, 2016 IN CORINTH, TEXAS. APPROXIMATELY 5:20PM. WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND CLEAR. ROAD CONDITIONS CLEAR AND DRY. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY 80F. DRIVING 30MPH APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. WE HAVE THE RED LIGHT. BRAKES APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR - NO BRAKES AT ALL. IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVS UP TO VERY HIGH RPM AND UNINTENTIONAL, OUT-OF-CONTROL ACCELERATION TAKES PLACE. THE CAR GOES THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AGAINST THE RED LIGHT. NO CROSS-TRAFFIC OR OTHERWISE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS CRASH. THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THE TRANSMISSION IS AGGRESSIVELY MOVED INTO THE "PARK" POSITION. THE CAR STOPS. BRAKING ACTION RETURNS. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN HOWEVER THE RPM RETURNS TO NORMAL. THE CAR IS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVEN AT 35 - 40MPH TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER - TOYOTA OF DENTON, TEXAS. IF THE CAR APPROACHES 50MPH THE ENGINE BEGINS TO REV UP TO HIGH RPM HOWEVER BRAKING ACTION REMAINS NORMAL. THIS INCIDENT HAS LEFT THE OWNERS WITH NO CONFIDENCE IN TOYOTA. THE CAR IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY. EVEN IF THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS SAY THE CAR IS GOOD TO GO, WOULD YOU ALLOW YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE THIS CAR? NO WAY. AND WITH TOYOTA'S REPUTATION OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS WITH HANDLING THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WOULD YOU TRUST THIS CAR? NO WAY. WE WANT TO BE DONE WITH TOYOTA. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SENT TO THE JUNKYARD. AND WE WANT THE PURCHASE-MONEY LOAN CANCELLED AND OUR DOWN PAYMENT BACK. AND WE WILL GO TO ANOTHER CAR MANUFACTURER. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I FILED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIRES BOUNCING AND EXCESSIVE VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM, AND THAT I SHOULD TRY 40 LBS. OF AIR INSTEAD OF THE RECOMMENDED 35 LBS. I CONTACTED A LOCAL BRIDGESTONE DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOT TO EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. THE TOYOTA DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WERE A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND THAT IT WAS THE FAULT OF THE TIRES,. I HAVE 12,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE FRONT TIRES ARE WORN OUT AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO DE ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE BALL JOINTS OR FRONT END SUSPENSION, BUT CAN'T GET ANYWHERE WITH TOYOTA. IF IT'S AN ONGOING TIRE PROBLEM AS THE DEALER SAYS WHY HASN'T IT BEEN ADDRESSED. IF IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHY HASN'T IT BEEN ADDRESSED. AT 50 MILES AN HOUR THE TIRES START TO BOUNCE AND SHIMMY AND THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT TIME WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE WILL NOT RESPOND, THEN IT JUMPS AND TAKES OFF VERY FAST. I THINK IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN CHANGING LANE, COMING ON A RAMP INTO THE INTERSTATE OR OTHER FAST MOVING LANES. BOTH NOT MOVING AND/OR JUMPING ON THE TRAFFIC. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND CANNOT BE TUNED?

FIRST TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WAS MAY 24, 2015. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY; BUT HAVE NOTICED SINCE IT HAS GOTTEN HOTTER, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ALMOST EVERY DAY. IT HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, OR AFTER STOPPING AND ACCELERATING. IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. IT HESITATES AND IT IS A LITTLE FRIGHTENING. IT WAS RECALLED BY THE DEALER ONE TIME, BUT WHATEVER THEY DID, IT DIDN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES. I AM CONCERNED THAT AS IT GETS OLDER, THE PROBLEM MAY GET WORSE. I HAD A 2005 CAMRY FOR 9 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAD READ THAT NUMEROUS OTHER CAMRY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN--ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED MY CAMRY AND IT DISAPPOINTS ME TO HAVE THIS ACCELERATING PROBLEM. IT IS A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. THIS HAPPENS BOTH AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND ALSO WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED/SHATTERED. MY CAR WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I GOT IT A YEAR AGO. I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAD A DEFECTIVE GLASS OR WHAT. I DO RECALL IT WAS A HOT DAY THOUGH. HOWEVER, HOW COME THE SUNROOF GLASS IS NOT MADE OUT OF LAMINATED GLASS AS THE WINDSHIELD. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THAT TIME. WE SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE SUNROOF SAFETY STANDARDS.
