STEERING
I CANT KEEP THIS CAR IN ITS LANE, IT VEERS TO THE LEFT AT ALL SPEEDS AND EVEN WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY TOYOTA BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE AN ALIGNMENT AND PULLS THE DRIVER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC CONSTANTLY. *TR

AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR AT 41 MPH (THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT I HAD A BLACK-OUT, DOCS ARE STILL EXAMINING THE EVIDENCE). THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AND HAVE LOTS OF SORENESS AND BRUISING ON MY CHEST, AND SEVERE MEMORY LOSS AROUND THE INCIDENT. MY GARMIN DASH-CAM WAS RUNNING THE ENTIRE TIME, RECORDING THE DATE, TIME, LOCATION, GPS COORDINATES, AND SPEED IN MPH AT CRASH TIME. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HOW FAST I WAS GOING WHEN I REAR-ENDED THE OTHER VEHICLE AND THE CAMRY I WAS DRIVING SUSTAINED MASSIVE DAMAGE. THE CABIN HELD UP WELL, BUT NO AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED, INCLUDING THE ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF ME. CERTAINLY THIS IS NOT RIGHT? *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TOYOTA UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MY WIFE PULLED INTO THE OFFICE BUILDING PARKING LOT, WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, SLOWING DOWN TO PARK PERPENDICULAR TO THE CURB. THE ENGINE RACED. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB, RAN OVER FOUR FEET OF MULCH AND LOOM AND CRASHED INTO A STOCKADE FENCE. FOURTEEN DAYS LATER ON JULY 23 RD, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAMRY LURCHED FORWARD CAUSING $8,362.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. AGAIN ANOTHER SECTION OF THE FENCE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REPORT PRE-CRASH DATA SHOWED THAT IN 1.9 SECONDS THE CAMRY WENT FROM 2.5 MPH TO 17.5 MPH. THE ENGINE WENT FROM 400 TO 4000 RPM. IT ALSO SHOWED THAT THERE WAS NO PRESSURE ON THE CAR ACCELERATOR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WED AM, NOV. 12, 2014, I PARKED MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 4CYL IN AN AIRPORT PARKING GARAGE. WEATHER WAS 31 F. WHEN I RETURNED FROM MY TRIP THE NEXT EVENING, I STARTED THE CAR, ORGANIZED SOME THINGS FOR A MINUTE TO ALLOW CAR HEATER TO WARM THE VEHICLE WHILE I SAT. I THEN PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 20S F. I NOTICED THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH SO I PRESSED A BIT MORE ON THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE CAR FAILED TO GO FASTER. AFTER SLOWLY BACKING OUT FAR ENOUGH, I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. DESPITE REACHING 2500+ RPM, THE CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT 0 (ZERO) MPH. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS, AND PULLED, VERY SLOWLY, TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GARAGE LANE, SO AS NOT TO IMPEDE VEHICLE TRAFFIC. I CONTINUED TO REV ENGINE FOR 1 TO 2 MINUTES. ONLY AFTER REVVING THE ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES DID THE CAR BEGIN TO SLOWLY RESPOND. THIS FLAW IS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN AND COULD ENDANGER LIVE(S). IMAGINE IF I AM AT A STOP SIGN, AWAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON TO A BUSY ROADWAY. IF MY 2011 CAMRY'S FUEL INJECTOR FAILS TO RESPOND AS EXPECTED, THEREBY RESPONDING SLOWLY TO ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THEN I ENVISION THE LIKELIHOOD OF BEING IN A HORRIFIC SIDE-IMPACT COLLISION. I WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. WINTER IS JUST BEGINNING, AND COLD STARTS ARE GOING TO BE MUCH MORE COMMON (LIKELY IN MUCH COLDER TEMPS). I DON'T BELIEVE MODERN VEHICLES, WITH ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION, SHOULD HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE, OR REQUIRE MUCH WARM-UP TIME. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY 2011 HYBRID MODEL, I HEAR A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ROOF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE MOON ROOF. IT IS MOST PERSISTENT WHEN DRIVING ON THE UNEVEN STREET PAVEMENT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE HEADLINER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST ABOUT $600. THIS CAR WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND I HARDLY USED THE MOON ROOF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPORTED. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE IN A SCHOOL ZONE, ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH. NO OTHER CARS WERE NEAR ME. THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT, CAUSING THE CAR TO HIT THE CURB. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS, I HAD A FLAT TIRE, BUT I DID NOT. SINCE IT WAS NOT FAR, I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO POHANKA TOYOTA WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HAVE IT SERVICED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB, BEARING AND SHOCK ABSORBER. ...UPDATED 10/22/14 *BF

SERVICE BRAKES
A RUBBING/GRINDING NOISE WAS INTERMITTENTLY BEING HEARD FROM THE BACK END DURING BRAKING AND, AT TIMES, DURING ACCELERATION. AFTER CONTACTING AN EMPLOYEE AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CAMRYS AND THAT MOST LIKELY MY BRAKE PADS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR, I WAS SHOWN ON MY BRAKES WHERE THEY HAD BECOME STUCK AND THE ROTORS NEEDED REPAIR AS WELL. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, THEN PERHAPS TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

STEERING
THE CAR REQUIRES ALMOST CONSTANT DRIVER INPUT IN THE STEERING TO MAINTAIN IT WITHIN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THERE IS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE CAR DOES NOT TRACK SECURELY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. AS A RESULT IT IS FATIGUING TO CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT FROM RIGHT TO LEFT AND BACK AGAIN LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. TOYOTA REP AND DEALER MECHANICS CLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE ELECTRONIC VARIABLE ASSIST POWER STEERING IS NOT DECREASING WHEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT TRACK SECURELY WITHIN IT'S LANE. THERE ARE NO TIRE OR ALIGNMENT ISSUES. TOYOTA IS PRETENDING THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND HOPING I WILL GO AWAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WITH MY TWIN 2YRS OLD DAUGHTERS WHEN I HEARD A SOUND; I LOOKED ONLY TO SEE THAT ONE OF THE BABY PULL THE GEAR STICK OUT OF PARK, INTO DRIVE AND THE KEYS WERE IN MY POCKET! I KNEW THAT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN. I CALLED DARCARS TOYOTA, AND THE MANAGER [XXX] TOLD ME "THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AND THAT THE "GEAR BOX IS BAD", I NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN SO THEY COULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON 10/03/2014 AT ABOUT 7:10AM, AND LEFT THE LOT AT ABOUT 9:30AM AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE HORRIBLE SERVICE BOTH FROM THE MANAGER [XXX] AND THE REP. "[XXX]" I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY TOLD ME SOMETHING WAS WRONG, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY FOR THEM TO DO WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW; WHICH IS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GEAR STICK! I MAY BE THE 1ST PERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THIS IS WHY WITH ALL THE RECALLS, IT SEEMS AS IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THESE PEOPLE TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THEIR DEFAULTED VEHICLES!! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FOR ME AS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. THANKS IN ADVANCE SINCERELY INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
