AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THIS PAST WEEK. MY SON WAS DRIVING AND THE REAR ABRUPTLY WENT TO THE RIGHT AND HE LOST CONTROL AND SKIDDED ACROSS A ROAD INTO A SOFT SHOULDER/EMBANKMENT CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, THE CAR THEN FLIPPED/ROLLED OVER LANDING ON IT'S ROOF. THERE ENDED UP BEING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO MOST OF THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY US ON THE FOLLOWING DAY WE DID NOTICE THAT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT, I ASSUME THIS CAUSED THE ABRUPT VEERING TO THE RIGHT DESCRIBED ABOVE. MY SON HAD HIS SEAT BELT ON AND LUCKILY HAD ONLY MINOR INJURIES. MY CONCERN/QUESTION IS WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. THIS INCLUDES THE ONES BUILT INTO THE FRONT PILLARS AND THOSE ON THE SIDE DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS HEAD AND ARM, ETC. BTW: THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE DEFECTIVE GAS PEDAL/FLOOR MATS AND WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE RECALL/REPAIR COMPLETED ON 7/29/10. PHOTO'S WERE TAKEN BY HIM OF THE DAMAGE. *TR

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER REQUESTS ASSISTANCE WITH A RECONSIDERATION OF INTEREST RATE AND REPAIR ISSUE WITH VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER DUE TO A NOISE THAT WAS OCCURRING RIGHT AFTER SHE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN DRIVE. THE NOISE EXISTED FROM THE TIME SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE EXPLANATION SHE RECEIVED WAS THAT ALL CAMRY'S MADE THAT NOISE AS IT CAME FROM THE BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGING. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO RIDE IN ANOTHER CAMRY TO COMPARE THE SOUNDS AS HER VEHICLE WAS VERY LOUD. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE LOT. THE SERVICE MANAGER THEN STATED HE WOULD OPEN A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SYSTEM CASE AND WHEN A SPECIALIST WAS IN THE AREA, THEY WOULD HAVE HIM INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE MANAGER CONTACTED THE CONSUMER AND INFORMED HER, THE SPECIALIST WOULD NOT BE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE AS THEY HAD RECEIVED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND THEY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE ABS ACTUATOR, BUT THERE WAS NO FIX AT THE MOMENT. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE DRIVES A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN ANASTASIA PLAZA IN ST. AUGUSTINE, FL AND WAS ABOUT TO COME TO A STOP A PLACE THE CAR IN PARK WHEN IT ACCELERATED OVER THE TIRE STOP, OVER THE CURB AND THROUGH THE GLASS WINDOWS AND DOORS AND INTO THE SEA OATS RESTAURANT. SHE IS CONFIDENT THAT SHE NEVER TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AS HER FOOT WAS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AND PLACE IN PARK. THERE WERE NO PRIOR SYMPTOMS OF THIS UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR SMASHED INTO THE LUNCH COUNTER, WHICH WEIGHS APPROX. 2 TONS) AND PUSHED IT 6 FEET. THERE WERE RUBBER MARKS ON THE FLOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE AS THOUGH THE FRONT WHEEL WAS SLIPPING AS IT PUSHED THE COUNTER (PICTURE AVAILABLE). MY WIFE CONTENDS THAT HER FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AS WELL AS MY INSURANCE COMPANY. TOYOTA DID AN INSPECTION OF THE CAR ON 6/7/2010. I AM WAITING ON THE RESULTS AND EXPECT TO HEAR BY 6/9/2010. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2010 CAMRY. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS TOO SENSITIVE AND THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I WAS ASSURED THAT ALL ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALL MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE ON THE CAR BEFORE THE SALE. I WAS STILL NOT SATISFIED. THE MANAGER OF THE SHOP AND I DID A TEST DRIVE AND AFTER A DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND DESIGN DEFECTS WE JOINTLY AGREED TO TRY AND REPLACE THE PEDAL MECHANISM WITH ONE MADE - NOT BY THE US VENDOR - BUT BY NIPPONDENSO -- TOYOTA'S ALTERNATE VENDOR IN JAPAN. TO MY GREAT SURPRISE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS OF A DIFFERENT DESIGN AND FEEL. WITH THE NIPPONDENSO PEDAL THE FOOTS POSITION ON THE PEDAL IS AT A MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE ANGLE. BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL THE RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS IS A 100% BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN MADE PEDAL. WITH THE US MADE PEDAL THE CAR HAD A "STEP" RESPONSE WHILST WITH THE NIPPONDENSO PEDAL IT HAS MORE OF A "RAMP" RESPONSE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER'S SHOP MANAGER THAT THE NIPPONDENSO MADE PEDAL MECHANISM DOES NOT NEED THE SPACER OR THE FLOOR MAT MODIFICATION EITHER. I AM SURPRISED THAT TWO VENDORS MAKING THE SAME PART FOR THE SAME MANUFACTURER TO THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS AND DRAWINGS HAVE PRODUCTS THAT ARE SO VASTLY DIFFERENT. THE ONLY THING COMMON BETWEEN THE PEDAL MECHANISMS FROM THE TWO VENDORS IS ITS MOUNTING ON THE FLOOR BOARD. WHERE IS TOYOTA'S QUALITY CONTROL? IN MY OPINION THERE IS A STRONG CO-RELATION BETWEEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION COMPLAINTS AND THE US MADE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DESIGN AND ITS SHARP "STEP" RESPONSE. LET ALL THOSE WHO HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION INSIST ON REPLACING THE PEDAL MECHANISM MADE BY NIPPONDENSO. NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THE VARIATIONS IN THE DESIGN FROM THE TWO VENDORS AND QUESTION AS TO WHY TOYOTA HAS PERMITTED THE VENDORS TO DESIGN THE MECHANISMS RATHER THAN JUST BUILD IT TO TOYOTA'S SPECIFICATIONS. *TR
