AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
3/31/2015 7:05 AM AFTER I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO TURN IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF. I BRAKED AND IT WOULD NOT STOP. I RAN INTO THE RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF MY GARAGE, THROUGH MY NEIGHBORS FRONT YARD ON THE RIGHT OF MY HOUSE. AS I SPED THROUGH MY NEIGHBORS YARD I MOWED DOWN A SMALL TREE. I THEN CROSSED THE STREET AND WENT OVER THE SIDEWALK AND STOPPED SHORT OF THE SUBDIVISION LAKE. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2012 CAMRY XLE HYBRID WITH 33000 MILES. IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH ON CENTER FEEL STEERING, IT NEEDS CONSTANT WHEEL MOVEMENTS TO STAY IN LANE. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN MAY 2012. I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SINCE OWNING THE CAR DUE TO THIS STEERING PROBLEM. THE SECOND YOU TURN YOUR HEAD, THEN RETURNING YOUR ATTENTION STRAIGHT AHEAD, MY CAR IS STARTING TO VEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. ALMOST ANY DISTRACTION CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN VERY QUICKLY. I KNOW THROUGH A TOYOTA OWNER ONLINE FORUM AND THRU FRIENDS THAT I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE NO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BEING REPORTED BY THIS HAPPENING. TOYOTA DEALERS DO NOT SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS STEERING PROBLEM IS AS COMMON AS IT SEEMS TO BE. NO ANSWERS ARE TO BE HAD FROM ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIPS THAT I AM AWARE OF. SOMEONE NEED TO START FIGURING OUT WHY THIS KIND OF PROBLEM IS HAPPENING. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN A LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND I TRY AND GO FORWARD MY TOYOTA CAMRY WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR 2 TO 7 SECONDS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SOFTWARE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ISSUE, HOW EVER IT IS STILL HAPPENING. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT OCCURRING ABOUT EVERY 1000 MILES. IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS ANOTHER ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHERE I WILL BE GOING ALONG AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL STALL OUT FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES NOW. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS THE FIRST ONE REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT ME PAYING A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, THE OTHER TOYOTA KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I CALLED TOYOTA NATIONAL SERVICE CENTER AT 1 888 2709371 AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. MY ISSUE IS THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE, THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING THAT THERE MIGHT BE PROBLEMS AND THEY VOLUNTARILY EXTENDED MY WARRANTY ON THE SPECIFIC PARTS THEY KNOW CAN CAUSE ISSUES. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, AND HAVE TRIED TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS I CAN TAKE TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING, I SUDDENLY HAD NO POWER BRAKING AND HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION. CAR HAS ONLY 44,000 MILES AND BEEN DRIVEN 29 MONTHS. AT THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS A FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER AND WOULD COST OVER $3000 TO REPAIR. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I AM LUCKY NOBODY WAS HARMED BUT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FAILURE ON A CAR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE VERY SAFE AND RELIABLE, AND A RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR IN ADDITION. AFTER I COMPLAINED THEY WROTE OFF 80% BUT STILL COST $600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE TOYOTA BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE LITERALLY DRIVING THE NEW CAR OFF THE DEALER LOT. I WAS TRAVELING BEHIND MY WIFE IN MY TRUCK WITH HER BEHIND THE WHEEL IN THE NEW CAR. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT AT TIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON WHEN BRAKING OR NOT, VERY INTERMITTENTLY. I FIGURED THAT SINCE IT WAS A NEW CAR IT WOULD TAKE TIME FOR ANY NEW DRIVER TO GET FAMILIAR TO THAT NEW VEHICLE. IT IS VERY RARE THAT I WOULD BE FOLLOWING HER IN A SEPARATE VEHICLE WATCHING HER BRAKE. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, PREFERABLY AT NIGHT I WOULD DRIVE IT MYSELF AND TEST TO SEE IF I CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES BUT ONLY APPLYING A CERTAIN OF PRESSURE TO NOT SIGNAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS, AND I WAS ABLE TO DO SO. WHILE DRIVING I WOULD LOOK IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND WATCH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. AT CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS I FOUND A WAY WHERE EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I CAN ACHIEVE SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT SIGNALING MY BRAKE LIGHTS, AND I WOULD BE APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I ASSUMED THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED EITHER BY THE HYBRID REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM TRIGGERING ON, AND/OR THE LITTLE SWITCH UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH SIGNALS THE BRAKE LIGHTS. AROUND NOVEMBER OF 2014, I GOT FED UP WITH THE ISSUE AND THOUGHT ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR AND HAD CLAREMONT TOYOTA, FIX THE SENSITIVITY OF THE BRAKING SWITCH. WITH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY UNATTACHED AND TURNED 180 DEGREES AROUND FACING FORWARD THE TECHNICIAN TESTED AND SIMULATED WHAT I HAD CLAIMED. I EVEN RODE WITH THE TECHNICIAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE HE DROVE AND WAS ABLE TO DO THE SAME THING, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT SIGNALING THE BRAKE LIGHTS. HE ADJUSTED THE SWITCH TO THE MOST SENSITIVE SETTING SO THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ALWAYS SIGNAL WHEN BRAKING. IN MY OPINION IF ANY AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD SIGNAL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
ON THIS DATE I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO HENRICKS OF TOYOTA OF APEX BECAUSE WHEN BACKING SLOWING WITH VEHICLE AND TOUCHING THE BRAKES IT WOULD MAKE NOISE AS IF THE CALIPERS WERE LOOSE. THE MECHANIC STATED HE COULD NOT HEAR ANYTHING, SO THEN I ASKED HIM TO COME WITH ME WHILE I DRIVE IT. WE WERE ON AN INCLINE BACKING AND I PUSHED THE BRAKES AND HE STATED THE NOISE THAT HE COULDN'T HEAR, HE HEARS NOW AND STATED THAT THE BRAKES ARE LOOSE IN THERE AND THAT IS NORMAL BECAUSE IT IF WAS TIGHTER IN THERE THEN IT WOULD MAKE SQUEALING NOISE AND THAT WITH THE MOISTURE THAT RUST CAN BUILD UP IN THERE AND CAUSE THAT NOISE. I HAD [XXX] DOCUMENT ON MY COPY OF THE INVOICE. I WILL BE CALLING THE NC STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO FILE A WRITTEN COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT SHOULD NOT BE MAKING ANY NOISE. THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER DEALER IN THE AREA THAT DID NOT WANT TO BACK UP THEIR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAD TAKEN THE DEALER TO COURT AND WON A JUDGMENT FOR THE CUSTOMERS AND THEY HAD TO PAY UP! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
