TIRES
BRAND NEW 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 22,557 MILES ON IT WAS FORCED TO REPLACE ONE TIRE. THE TIRE BEGAN REPEATEDLY LOSING AIR THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO REPLACING IT. 6/26/10 I PURCHASED 3 MORE NEW TIRES BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T MEET SAFETY INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS AND WERE LOSING AIR. WE WERE PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE 2-3X WEEKLY. WE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES BY 30,000 MILES AND WE WAITED MUCH LONGER THAN WE SHOULD HAVE. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO PAY 30K FOR A CAR AND NEED NEW TIRES BEFORE 2 YEARS. I AM VERY DISGUSTED WITH TOYOTA. IT IS A SAFETY RISK TO DRIVERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE TIRES A POOR QUALITY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER PERFORMING A GAS PEDAL REOPERATION ON A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY THERE WAS A CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE AND A FEELING DETENT WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR AFTER A STOP. THE DEALER AGREED WITH THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL WITH A NEW ONE. THE NEW PEDAL IS A IMPROVEMENT BUT THE CLICKING IS STILL COMING FROM, I BELIEVE, THE SPRING INSIDE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HOUSING. THE DEALER SAID HE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING MORE. I PERSONALLY REMOVED THE PEDAL AND FILLED THE SPRING CAVITY FULL WITH VERY THICK LUBRICATION GREASE. THE NOISE IS NOW ABOUT 50%GONE, SOMETIMES FOR A DAY OR TWO BUT STILL RETURNS EVENTUALLY WHEN I SLIGHTLY PRESS ON THE PEDAL FROM A STOP. THE SPRING I THINK HAS TOO MUCH ROOM TO MOVE AROUND OR IS NOT REMAINING SEATED. THIS IS A VERY ANNOYING NUISANCE PROBLEM HEARING THIS CLICKING THAT DID NOT EXIST WHEN I HAD THE OLD STYLE GAS PEDAL. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES ON MY 2009 CAMRY AT AROUND 25,000 MILES. THE LOW PRESSURE TIRE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I HAD JUST HAD IT SERVICED. THE MASTER MECHANIC AT WORK CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE AND EACH TIRE WAS 8 - 10 POUNDS LOW ON PRESSURE. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA IN NORTH AUGUSTA, SC AND THE RUDE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT WHEN I HAD IT SERVICED A TOP TECHNICAL SIGNED OFF AS ROTATING AND AIRING THE TIRES AND THAT HAD IT BEEN ANOTHER TECHNICIAN HE MIGHT BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T AIR THE TIRES. HE ONLY AIRED THE TIRES, DIDN'T CHECK VALVE STEMS OR FOR TIRE DEFECTS. THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND I WENT BACK A COUPLE MORE TIMES I BELIEVE. HE FINALLY DETERMINED MAKING THE STATEMENT "THIS IS COMMON. SINCE IT WAS MY SECOND CAMRY I DISAGREED WITH HIM AND THEN HE RESPONDED "IT IS COMMON IN THIS MODEL". HE SAID YOU COULD DRIVE OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOT AND IT MIGHT COME ON AGAIN.....I REPLIED "I'M NOT BUYING THIS AND LEFT". THE LIGHT DID COME BACK ON WITHIN THE WEEK OR TWO. I LOOKED AT MY FRONT TIRES AND WAS SHOCKED! THE FRONT TIRES WERE WORN OUT WITH HARDLY NO TREAD LEFT ON THEM. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A TIRE DEALER AND REPLACED THE "FIRESTONE BRIDGESTONE" TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRE...........THAT HAS BEEN NEARLY 5,000 AGO AND THE LIGHT HAS NEVER TURNED ON. THERE IS A DEFINITE DEFECT HERE WITH THE CAR OF TIRE DEALER. TIRES SHOULD LAST A LONG LONGER THAN 20,000 TO 25,000 MILES ON A NEW CAR ESPECIALLY. IF OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE REIMBURSING CAR OWNERS FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES....MAYBE THEY PURCHASED DEFECTIVE PARTS AT A LOW COST JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH THE BRAKES....HAD I NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE TIRE PROBLEM IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A BLOW OUT AND ENDANGERING OF MY LIFE AND OTHERS. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND DID NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO RESEARCH FOR AN EXISTING PROBLEM, WHICH BECAME EVIDENT AFTER A FEW TRIPS IN THERE. HIS AND TOYOTA'S DISREGARD FOR SAFETY HAS REALLY CHANGED MY OPINION OF TOYOTA. *TR

STEERING
YESTERDAY, JUNE 14, 2010 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30 P.M. I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I GATHERED MY PURSE AND A COUPLE OF PACKAGES OUT OF THE CAR, SHUT THE DOOR AND REALIZED I HAD NOT CLOSED THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW UP ALL THE WAY. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR, PUT MY KEY IN AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. I STRUGGLED WITH IT QUITE A WHILE THINKING MAYBE IT WAS THE KEY. PULLED THE KEY OUT AND EXAMINED IT AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I LEFT THE DOOR AJAR, SO THIS TIME I CLOSED THE DOOR THINKING MAYBE THIS WAS A SAFETY FEATURE AND AGAIN THE KEY WOULD NOT TURNED. IT TOOK ME WRESTLING WITH THE STEERING BACK AND FORTH FROM SIDE TO SIDE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED TO POWER UP TO SHUT THE WINDOW. IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING AND CONCERNED ME HOPING IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON WITH TOYOTA'S AND FELT IT NEEDED TO BE REPORTED AND LOOKED INTO. *TR

TIRES
I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. JUST AFTER 20,000 MILES, TIRES ARE WORN-OUT. THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE NEW CAR ASKED ME TO CHANGE TIRES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THAN 2 YEARS (A BRAND NEW CAR AT THAT TIME). IF TIRES CAN LAST ONLY 20,000 MILES, THESE TIRES (ON CAMRY) MUST BE POOR QUALITY. I THINK TOYOTA MUST RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS COULD PUT DRIVER/PASSENGERS AT RISK. *TR

HOWEVER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE HAD BEEN DOWNLOADED TO THE VEHICLES COMPUTER SYSTEM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT NEED A SHIM FOR THE GAS PEDAL, BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
DRIVING WEST IN A RENTAL CAR ON ST. CHARLES ROCK RD. I CHANGED LANES FROM THE RIGHT WESTBOUND LANE INTO THE L-WEST LANE AFTER CHECKING MY MIRRORS. WHILE I DID THAT I GOT HIT BY UNSEEN CAR (UNFAMILIAR BLIND SPOT?) IN THE REAR LEFT, WHICH CHANGED CAR'S HEADING TOWARDS THE LEFT (SOUTHWEST), ONTO A TRAJECTORY CROSSING THE EASTBOUND LANES. I IMMEDIATELY AND FULLY HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKES DIDN'T RESPOND (PEDAL SEEMED STUCK), AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE AT SPEED (NO ACCELERATION) TOWARDS THE RESTAURANT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF SCRR. I TRIED TO TURN WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO AVOID THE CURB, AND PERHAPS PULL A U-TURN, BUT THE WHEEL DIDN'T BUDGE EITHER; ALL THE WHILE I KEPT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, EXCEPT FOR ONE OR TWO PUMPING ATTEMPTS TO SEE IF THE BRAKES WOULD KICK IN, BUT NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN PEDAL RESPONSE OR BRAKING ACTION ENSUED. THE CAR STAYED ON THE COURSE IT GOT ONTO BY THE PRECEDING COLLISION, CROSSED THE EASTBOUND LANES TOWARD THE RESTAURANT, JUMPED THE CURB, WENT THROUGH A GREEN STRIP OF LOW (1-2') JUNIPER BUSHES ONTO THE PAVED RESTAURANT GROUNDS, AND PUSHED A PICNIC TABLE INTO A BUSINESS SIGN BEFORE COMING TO A FULL STOP AGAINST THE BUILDING. THERE WAS NO CLEAR DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING ITSELF. I DO NOT RECALL HAVING TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AT ANY TIME DURING THIS INCIDENT, EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER I CAME TO A STOP. I RECALL HAVING TO RESTART THE CAR TO LOWER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WINDOW, BECAUSE THE DOOR ITSELF WAS BLOCKED BY ANOTHER PICNIC TABLE. I DO NOT RECALL ANYTHING ODD WITH THE IGNITION KEY WHEN I RESTARTED (LIKE IT WAS STILL IN THE ON POSITION). BASED ON THE UNRESPONSIVENESS OF BOTH BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE COLLISION, IT'S MY IMPRESSION THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A GLITCH IN THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL/CONTROL SYSTEM. UNTIL THIS ACCIDENT, THE CAR HANDLED NORMALLY; THERE WAS NO APPARENT PROBLEM WITH BRAKES, STEERING OR ACCELERATOR. *TR

WHEN MY WIFE WOULD GET IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF OUR CAMRY AND GET BELTED IN FOR A MINUTE OR SO BEFORE I GOT IN AND STARTED THE CAR, THE SEAT BELT OFF LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND DOES NOT SEEM TO HAPPEN IF I START THE CAR BEFORE SHE BELTS IN. THIS WAS REPORTED TO EDDY'S TOYOTA AND THEY RECALIBRATED THE SEAT SENSORS BUT THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. *TR

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID HAS AN INSUFFICIENT WARNING LABEL ON THE HIGH VOLTAGE SERVICE PLUG. THE SMALL TYPE AND THE TINY INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS ARE NOT RECOGNIZABLE UNTIL YOU TAKE CAP OUT TO READ THE MESSAGE. AFTER I REMOVED THE CAP TO READ THE MESSAGE, I DISCOVERED IT WAS A WARNING MESSAGE NOT TO REMOVE THE CAP. I WAS INDEED FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. AS IT WAS, I DISABLED MY CAR AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SERVICE MODULE RESET. AFTER ALTERING MY TRAVEL PLANS AND TOWING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY PUSHING THE CAP DOWN AND DRIVING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPROGRAMMING. IF THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER HAD GIVEN ME THE INFORMATION I REQUESTED, I COULD HAVE AVOIDED CONSIDERABLE WASTED TIME AND EXPENSE. *TR
