THE RESPONSE TIME OF ACCELERATING AND THE CAR MOVING IS SIGNIFICANT AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS. THIS IS HAZARDOUS WHEN I AM PLANNING TO OVERTAKE BECAUSE IT TAKES LONGER THAN EXPECTED.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE ACTUATOR: MY BRAKES WERE MAKING A CREAKING NOISE /THUMPING WHEN PRESSED...IN WHICH CASE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST TIME FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. ABOUT 0430, DECEMBER 21, 2017 (MY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY) I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 99SOUTH HEADED FROM FRESNO, CA TO TULARE, CA...ABOUT A 45MIN DRIVE. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE RANDOM CHIMING SOUNDS THAT DID NOT SEEM TO COME FROM ANYWHERE PARTICULAR. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUND...IT WAS JUST RANDOM SOUNDS I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. THAT WENT ON PERIODICALLY FOR THE NEXT 20-30MINS. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE PROSPERITY AVE OFF-RAMP AND BEGAN TO PRESS THE BREAKS. IMMEDIATELY, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON MY PANEL LIT UP AND A STEADY, HIGH PITCH SOUND CAME ON AND I COULDN'T STOP MY CAR. I PANICKED, CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO BREAK PUSHING HARD AS I CAN. I ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO LEAD IT OFF THE EXIT AND INTO A POPEYES PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE OFF-RAMP WHERE IT EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. THANK THE LORD THAT NO ONE WAS ON THE ROAD THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING. THE CAR WAS TOWED FROM TULARE BACK TO FRESNO (TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE WOULD NOT REFUND THAT 200 BUCKS). TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE BREAK ACTUATOR, IT WAS A "WARRANTY" THAT THEY'D COVER AT NO COST. I ASKED WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED SINCE THE SITUATION IS LIFE THREATENING AND THERE WERE NO ANSWERS FOR THAT. TOYOTA HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH BECAUSE I DEMANDED THEY REPAIR EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THE BREAKS...QUITE HONESTLY I WAS JUST AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, I DROVE IT AGAIN WITH MY ANXIETY GRADUALLY DIMINISHING...BUT BY NO MEANS GONE. I VISITED A MENTAL HEALTH DOCTOR TO HELP, ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T. 23 JULY 2019, IT WENT OUT AGAIN. WILL POST THAT EVENT ON SEPARATE ENTRY.

SERVICE BRAKES
BREAK ACTUATOR, 2ND EVENT EVENT 1 COMPLAINT NUMBER 11234969 23 JULY 2019, DROPPED MY CAR OFF WITH TOYOTA CLOVIS SAME DEALERSHIP (JACOB WAS MY REP) BECAUSE MY BRAKES WAS MAKING THE CREAKING SOUND/THUMPING. I ASKED HIM TO CHECK MY BRAKES AND IF THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM, CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HE CALLED ME LATER THAT DAY AND SAID IT WAS THE BRAKES, THEY WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS. HE SAID THEY RECOMMEND TO CHANGE BRAKE ACTUATOR FLUID? SINCE IT WASN'T DONE WHEN THEY CHANGED THE ACTUATOR PREVIOUSLY AND HE WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME. I COMMENTED THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BACK IN 2017 WHEN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ORIGINALLY FAILED. I ASKED IF IT WOULD AFFECT MY CAR, DRIVABILITY, ETC. AND JACOB SAID NO IT SHOULD DRIVE FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN A FEW SETTLE SOUNDS. HE SAID BUT THE BRAKES ARE FIXED AND IT'S NO LONGER MAKING THE SOUND/ THUMPING. SO I DECLINED THE FLUID SERVICE. 25 JULY 2019, I WAS GOING TO GET MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL. BY THEN, IT HAD STARTED TO MAKE THE CHEAKING NOISE/THUMPING. I GOT JUST ABOUT TO HER SUMMER SCHOOL (ON FOWLER AVE) AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON MY PANEL LIT UP AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. I DROVE IT HOME SLOW. WE CALLED TOYOTA, SPOKE TO THE MANAGER, EXPLAINED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. I JUST PAID THEM $240 FOR BRAKE PADS THAT I DIDN'T NEED. I REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSING IN 1.5HRS WHICH LEFT NO TIME FOR TOW TRUCK. MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I FOLLOWED IN HIS CAR. TOYOTA (JACOB) GAVE ME A LOANER. 25 JULY 2019, THE MANAGER CALLED AND SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED AGAIN BUT BECAUSE THE PART WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE (MANAGER ACTUALLY AGREED) WAS ONLY COVERED FOR A YEAR, I'D HAVE TO CONTACT CORPORATE TO SEE IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT OUT AT NO COST. I WILL CALL TOMORROW (26 JULY 2019)...ALTHOUGH, I DO NOT PLAN ON EVER DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN.

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING MY CAR, MY CAR WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE AT AROUND 20 MPH. IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND EVEN IF I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, IT STILL WILL NOT GO. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND PUSH IT REPEATEDLY TO GET IT TO GO. FINALLY IT WILL CATCH UP AND DO SO VICIOUSLY. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I HAVE A 14 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN THE BACKSEAT AND I FEEL SO UNSAFE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO ONE OTHER MECHANIC AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE NOR ARE ANY CODES BEING THROWN. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, THIS HAPPENS A LOT WHEN GOING AT A STEEP INCLINE.

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASH INTO AN UTILITY POLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AWAY. DURING THE CRASH THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BACK, TORSO, AND NECK INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 238,000.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING, SINCE IT IS MELTING IT IS CAUSING THE DASHBOARD TO BE REALLY SHINEY, WHICH IS CAUSING A HUGE REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OUT. THE DASHBOARD IS ALSO REALLY STICKY FROM MELTING, AND IM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE OF THIS.

STEERING
I HAVE 52,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I NEVER HAD PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING UNTIL RECENTLY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 5-55 MY CAR WILL PULL HARD TO THE LEFT. WHEN I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, IT STOPS BUT AFTER A LITTLE WHILE OF DRIVING AGAIN IT WILL PULL HARD TO THE RIGHT. IT'S ALWAYS AT RANDOM TIMES AND I NEVER KNOW WHICH WAY IT WILL PULL AND IT DOESN'T PULL AT ALL TIMES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT, CRACK, CHIP AND BECOME GOOEY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND ON THE PHONE WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE 2 TIMES, AND THEY BOTH KEEP REDIRECTING ME TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS SINCE THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND IS REFUSING TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL THAT HAS SINCE EXPIRED, HOWEVER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS CAUSES GREAT CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT THAT TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING WITH EASE OR HONESTY. A MELTING DASHBOARD IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD HAVE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED :WHEN STARTING FROM ZERO SPEED OR ACCELERATING AT CRUISING SPEED THE CAR OFTEN HESITATES MORE OFTEN THEN NOT THIS IS A ROAD HAZORD AND WORSE YET FOR ME THE VEHICLE NEVER DRIVES THE SAME. IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING KNOWING THE MONEY I SPENT AND THE MONEY I WILL LOOSE ON TRADE DUE TO A VEHICLES PERFORMANCE THAT IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE. MY EXPERIENCE IS IT HAS NO BEARING ON VEHICLE SPEED WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS ITS RANDOM AND DIFFICULT TOTO PREDICT FOR ME ITS THE WORST DURING RUSH HOUR ON THE FREEWAY I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD LOOK FORWARD OR BEHIND TO SEE WHICH CAR COULD BECOME VICTOM OF THE ACCELERATION OR HESITATION.

WHILE DRIVING AND RUNNING MY VEHICLE AC, I BEGAN HEARING A "LIQUID SWISHING" NOISE, OFTEN WHEN TURNING OR COMING TO A STOP. LATER, WHEN PARKED, I NOTICED THE MAT/CARPET UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS WET. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION A FEW DAYS LATER, THE MAT WAS STILL SOAKED AND THERE WAS STANDING WATER THERE, AS WELL SOAKED CARPET BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT. FROM RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MORE COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2012 CAMRY IF THE AC COMES LOOSE OR BECOMES CLOGGED.
