VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED AND "REPAIRED" - GAS PEDAL, FLOOR MAT, BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM. PRIOR TO THE RECALL, THE GAS PEDAL WAS SLUGGISH AND I WOULD EXPERIENCE MINI, SUDDEN ACCELERATIONS. THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPROVEMENT SINCE THE REPAIRS (3/2/2010). IN FACT, IT APPEARS TO HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT, THE SUDDEN ACCELERATIONS ARE NOT DRAMATIC AND BRAKING DOES TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TOYOTA CAMRY (RENTED FROM HERTZ ANN ARBOR SHERATON). DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN REMOVING FOOT FORM ACCELERATOR PEDAL. VEHICLE MAINTAINS SPEED FOR A VERY NOTICEABLE 1 OR 2 SECONDS. 100% REPEATABLE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY REMAINS UNDER POWER EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER HAS REMOVED THE INPUT COMMAND. I OBSERVED THE SAME DELAY EACH TIME I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. EVEN BEING AWARE OF THIS SITUATION I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD WHEN A TRUCK CHANGED LANES IN FRONT OF ME. I REMOVED MY FOOT EXPECTING TO SLOW DOWN ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED AT SPEED CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN ME AND THE TRUCK WHILE THE TRUCK DECELERATED. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM PEDAL AND SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO REMOVE THE LOAD, I WITNESSED THE RPM WILL INCREASE 400-1000 RPM DEPENDING ON TERRAIN AND AMOUNT THE THROTTLE WAS DEPRESSED TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SPEED. THIS RPM SPIKE IS BRIEF IN DURATION (1 SECOND OR LESS). I REPEATED THIS AN ESTIMATED 30 TIMES UNDER VARIOUS GRADE CONDITIONS. (OHIO TURNPIKE, I-475, US 23 NORTHBOUND MICHIGAN). THE WORST CASE BEING DRIVING UP A SLIGHT GRADE MAINTAINING 2100 RPM. I FULLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ,AND OBSERVED A BLIP TO 3100 RPM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2010 CAMRY APPROX 11,000+ MILEAGE. I HAD MY CAR CHECKED FOR THE BRAKES DUE TO THE POPPING SOUND WHEN RELEASE BRAKE PEDAL AND CLICKING AFTER PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN DRIVE. TOYOTA RESPONDED: THE SOUND YOU ARE HEARING IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE, THE BRAKE CALIPERS MECHANICALLY ADJUST TO THE VEHICLE'S FORWARD MOTION. WHEN THIS ADJUSTMENT HAPPENS, A CLICKING SOUND CAN SOMETIMES BE HEARD. THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT CAUSE ANY ISSUES TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I JUST DROPPED MY CAR OFF AGAIN THIS MORNING TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE FOR THE RECALL AFTER THE FIRST TIME TELLING ME THAT IT WASN'T STICKING; BUT I HEARD THAT IT SHOULD STILL BE REPAIRED. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THE SERVICE REP SAID THE SOUND DOESN'T SOUND NORMAL. I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS DRIVING THE CAR AND WORRIED ABOUT THE UNKNOWN OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING CARS FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER HAD THE BRAKES SOUND THIS WAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS PURCHASED IN SEPT '09. IN OCT. 09, MY CAR WAS ON ABOUT A 10 DEGREE INCLINE, FOOT ON THE BREAK, WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACK. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. I TOOK IT TO METRO TOYOTA IN JANUARY AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. I COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MGR. WHO TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH ME & REPLICATED THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THE '10 CAMRY'S BECAUSE OF THE NEW 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION. I SAID I DID NOT THINK THIS WAS NORMAL & ASKED HIM TO REFER THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA & CALL ME BACK. NOTHING EVER HAPPENED - SO IN FEB. I CALLED THE SERVICE MGR AGAIN WHO CALLED ME BACK A WEEK LATER & SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 CAMRY, THE CAR SEEMED TO RIDE FUNNY. I FELT UNEASY BUT INITIALLY THOUGHT IT MAY BE THAT IT WAS MY FIRST COMPLETELY NEW CAR. THIS WENT ON FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, I.E. THE CAR SEEMING TO JERK OR HEAVE, REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED. I WAS WORRIED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE AIRCONDITION/HEATING BOARD STOPPED WORKING SO I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INSTEAD. I TOOK IT IN. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AWAY, EXPLAINED THE 'ELECTRICAL PROBLEM', AND STATED THAT THE HEAVING FEELING I WAS SENSING WAS THAT THE CAR WAS COMPUTERIZED AND THAT IT TOOK TIME FOR THE ACCELERATOR TO CATCH UP WITH THE SIGNAL THE COMPUTER WAS GIVING IT, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HE RAN AN ENGINE CHECK AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ON MY SERVICE SHEET HE SIMPLY STATED THAT I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR HESITATING (WHICH I DID NOT), BUT DID NOT DOCUMENT THAT I BROUGHT THE CAR IN COMPLAINING THAT IT HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. A WEEK LATER THERE WAS THE RECALL. WHEN I LATER CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL AND CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM, THE SERVICEMAN ( A DIFFERENT ONE) TOLD ME THAT I WOULD FEEL NO CHANGE IN THE WAY THE WAY THE CAR DROVE SO HE WOULD HAVE SOMEONE RIDE WITH ME TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THE DAY BEFORE TAKING THE CAR IN FOR THE FIX, THE CAR SLIGHTLY ACCELERATED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO COME TO A STOP. AFTER THE FIX, A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE RODE WITH ME (I LET HIM DRIVE), BUT THE CAR DID APPEAR TO RIDE BETTER AFTER THE FIX. THE CAR DOES STILL FEEL BETTER THAN WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT BUT SEEMS TO BE GRADUALLY GETTING WORSE SINCE THE FIX, E.G. THE CAR OCCASIONALLY SLIGHTLY ACCELERATES WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP. *TR
