TAKATA RECALL AND DRAS II FAILURE FOR AS YET TO BE DETERMINED ADDITIONAL VINS MY FRIEND AND I WERE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEATS, BUCKLED UP, SITTING IN TRAFFIC STOPPED ON THE 5 FREEWAY HEADED NORTH. WE WERE REAR ENDED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, AT A SLIGHT ANGLE TO OUR BUMPTER, BY A DRIVER WHICH RESULTED IN THE TOTAL DECIMATION OF THEIR VEHICLE AND SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLE WHICH MANIFESTED ITSELF AS REAR BUMPER AND REAR UNDER BODY DAMAGE, AS WELL AS CRUMPLING OF THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FRAME AND QUARTERPANELS, TO OUR 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. BOTH THE DRIVER AND I WERE THROWN FORWARD, AND DESPITE WEARING OUR SEATBELTS I HIT MY HEAD AND KNEE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD AREA DURING THE IMPACT. NO AIRBAGS INFLATED IN THE VEHICLE. UPON EXAMINING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE DRIVER CONSOLE DISPLAYED RED ERROR LIGHTS INDICATING THAT AIRBAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED DESPITE NONE HAVING DONE SO. BOTH THE DRIVER AND I SUSTAINED SERIOUS AND ONGOING INJURIES AS A RESULT. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 27000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THERE ARE CONFIRMED REPORTS FROM TOYOTA DEMONSTRATING THAT AIRBAG SENSORS ARE PRONE TO FAILING AT THE CHIP EDGE DUE TO LARGE INTERNAL TENSILE STRESS INCONJUNCTION WITH DEFECTS IN THE SENSOR CAUSING IT TO DELAMINATE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DURING HEAVY RAIN, THE WATER FROM THE WHEEL WELLS IS THROWN UP ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CANNOT KEEP UP WITH IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 30 MPH, AS WELL AS HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS COMPLETELY OBSCURES VISIBILITY AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS, AS WELL AS SOME VERY FRIGHTENING INCIDENTS. THESE OCCURRED ON HIGHWAYS AND LOCAL PAVED ROADS. HEAVY WATER THROWN BY OTHER VEHICLES CAN'T BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE WIPERS, FORCING THE DRIVER TO GUESS WHERE THE ROAD AND OTHER VEHICLES ARE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS 18K MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I DROVE FROM WORK TO GROCERY STORE. AFTER LEAVING THE STORE I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE ABS WARNING CAME ON THEN CHECK ELECTRICAL CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN I COULDN'T GET IT IN GEAR AGAIN. I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO WAVE THE CARS BEHIND ME TO GO AROUND BECAUSE THE FLASHERS DIDN'T WORK. AFTER I GOT ALL THE OTHER CARS PAST ME, I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME AND GET ME. HE SUGGESTED THAT I TRY RESTARTING THE CAR AGAIN, WITH MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. THIS TIME, IT STARTED AND I MOVED IT TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THE NEXT DAY, IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER KEPT IT OVERNIGHT TO RUN MORE TESTS, BUT THEY SAID THAT NO FAILURE WAS INDICATED. MY HUSBAND GOT THE CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHTS TO COME ON, AND HE VERIFIED THIS WITH THE DEALER. THE LEASE IS UP IN IN 4 MONTHS, BUT I WON'T DRIVE IT AGAIN. TOYOTA CORPORATE WAS NO HELP, SAYING NO ERROR MESSAGE ON COMPUTER MEANS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. GOD HELP THE NEXT PERSON WHO BUYS THIS CAR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN LITTLE OVER A YEAR, A CHECK ENGINE ALERT OCCURRED THAT WAS THE RESULT OF A PROBLEMATIC GAS CAP, DEPRESSURIZING THE GAS TANK. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE SECOND OCCURRENCE COST $130 TO REPLACE THE GAS CAP. REPLACING A GASCAP TWICE IN 14 MONTHS WOULD SEEM TO BE A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW AND SHOULD NOT COST $130.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE IS 1-1/2 YEARS OLD. THE OUTSIDE WEATHER WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES AND I HAD THE HEAT ON. NOT SURE IF THE INSIDE/OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES CAUSED THIS, OR IF THE BODY HAD SETTLED OR CHANGED IN SOME WAY TO CREATE PRESSURE ON THE GLASS.

STEERING
AS SOON AS I BOUGHT THE TOYOTA 2016 UNIT AND STARTED DRIVING IT I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS APPARENTLY DISALIGNED. BUT IN AN AWKWARD MANNER: THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD FORCIBLY TURN LEFT. ANOTHER TIME RIGHT. SOMETIMES, SPECIALLY AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE. IT IS AN ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND WAS ALIGNED. THE MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT IT WAS A BIT DISALIGNED. NEXT DAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. BACK TO THE SHOP AND A ROAD TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE MECHANIC WAS BEWILDERED AND COULD NOT FIND AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM.

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT GET STUCK OCCASIONALLY. IT WILL NOT FULLY PULL OUT OF THE CASE THAT THE SEAT BELT RETRACTS TO, MAKING IT UNUSABLE FOR THE PASSENGER.

AIR BAGS, STEERING, WHEELS
TOYOTA CAMRY VIN [XXX]. TOYOTA CASE #[XXX] POLICE INCIDENT:[XXX] THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT MY WIFE ENDED UP A SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT DATED 9-7-2017. THE TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2016 CAR WHICH WAS ON LEASE FROM THE TOYOTA F OVER 20 MONTHS COMPLETELY TOTALED OUT. THE CAR WAS HIT ON THE NON DRIVER REAR SEAT BY THE OTHER CAR WHILE TURNING. THE IMPACT WAS OF AT LEAST 30-40 M/HR OF THE SPEED.ABOVE CAR SPINNED 180 DEGREE ENDED UP STOPPING DUE TO ROAD SIDE PAVEMENT IN THE OPPOSITE ROAD. THE IMPACTED SIDE WHEEL WAS BROKEN AND ROTATED OUT. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE BUT THE AIR BAGS MAINLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR SEAT DID NOT OPEN AT ALL. THE REMAINING OPEN BAG WAS FLOPPY. BEING A MEDICAL PHYSICIAN, THIS IS SURPRISING AND DISTURBING TO ME. AS THE MOST FATAL CAR INJURY OCCUR DUE TO THE DECELERATION INJURIES DUE TO STEERING WHEEL IMPACT THAT CAN LEAD MAJOR VESSEL LIKE AORTA / HEART RUPTURE. I SEE IT AS THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE CAR.IN THE BACK, BOTH BABY CAR SEATS WERE DAMAGED . FORTUNATELY, MY WIFE DROPPED MY CHILDREN 0.3 MILE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT SITE TO THE DAY CARE WHO IS A 4 MONTH OLD INFANT. I AM VERY SURE THAT IF ANY OF MY CHILDREN WOULD BE IN THE BACK SEAT, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE LIFE THREATENING.S. MY WIFE HAS A CHEST PAIN AND BACK PAIN DECELERATION INJURY CAUSING FRONT CHEST PAIN, HEAD CONCUSSION AND OTHER INJURIES RELATED. I EXPECT SAFETY SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY WHEN COME TO HUMAN LIFE. WE WERE PLANNING TO KEEP THIS CAR AS WE SPEND LEASE MONEY IN TO IT. HOWEVER DUE TO THE ACCIDENT AND TOTAL LOSS OF CAR. IT HAS EFFECTED OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION TO BUY A NEW CAR. THIS IS EFFECTING OUR WORK AS WE ENDED UP IN URGENT SITUATION TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR. I HAVE READ THE NHTSA INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR BAGS AND OTHER DETAILED WHICH FURTHER CONFIRMS MY DOUBT. THANKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UPDATE TO NHTSA ID - 10937419 MY 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY SE HAS SINCE BEEN BACK IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP WITH THE SAME SINCE THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES. EACH TIME WAS SIMPLY TOLD "NORMAL OPERATION" OR "COULD NOT DUPLICATE"...IT IS INTERMITTENT HAD RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THEY PULLED CODES SHOWING THE FOLLOWING; P1604 - STARTABILITY MALFUNCTION P2610 - ECM/PCM INTERNAL ENGINE OFF TIMER PERFORMANCE B1507 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL AND IDLE CONTROL RELATED HE INFORMED ME IT WAS LIKELY A BAD ECM AND WAS WAITING ON TOYOTA TO APPROVE THE REPAIR. SHORTLY AFTER I WAS INFORMED TOYOTA DENIED THE REPAIR STATING DRIVER ERROR... AND THE SERVICE INVOICE SAYS NO CODES? I HAVE REPORT SHOWING OTHERWISE!!! IN APRIL, MY CAR ACCELERATED PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND RAN INTO THE BACK OF TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, GRILL AND BUMPER OF MY VEHICLE. I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT AND TOYOTA TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR 20 DAYS FOR AN INVESTIGATION AND BROUGHT IN A "3RD PARTY" TO PULL THE EDR BOX INFO. WHEN THE 3RD PARTY SENT ME THEIR READINGS...ALL CODES INCLUDING FREEZE CODES WERE NON-EXISTENT? HOWEVER I DEMANDED THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT FROM DAYTONA TOYOTA AND HAVE THAT TO PROVE THEY WERE INDEED THERE TO BEGIN WITH. WHERE DID THEY GO? I SPOKE WITH WENDY OLSEN THE VICTIM AND WITNESS COORDINATOR OF THE US ATTORNEYS OFFICE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK REGARDING THIS MATTER. HONORABLE WILLIAM H. PAULEY III US DISTRICT JUDGE FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ARRANGED A DEFERRED PROSECUTION OF FRAUD CHARGES ON TOYOTA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IN 2014 AND UPON COMPLETION OF MONITORING FOR SEVERAL YEARS THE CASE WAS TO BE NULLIFIED, HOWEVER THAT WAS CHANGED AND WAS NOT...THERE MUST BE A REASON WHY!!! I HAVE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS TO SHOW SERVICE RECORDS WITH OBVIOUS PERSONAL INFORMATION BLOCKED FOR PRIVACY REASONS!
