THE BRAKE DOES NOT WORK EVERY TIME WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR ON ROUGH ROAD SUCH AS SNOW AND ICE ROAD, AND REPAIRING ROAD. I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALERS TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAID THAT IS DUE TO THE ANTI-LOCK MECHANISM! THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. I DRIVE VERY SLOWLY WHEN ROAD IS ROUGH. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2006 TOYOTA CAMRY - 1. WHILE BRAKING ON SURFACES THAT ARE UNEVEN, BUMPY OR CONTAINING POTHOLES MY BRAKES DON'T HOLD. 2. ANYTIME I BRAKE ON ANY OF THESE SURFACES. OCCURS DURING ANY RATE OF SPEED (LOW/HIGH). I TRY TO AVOID BRAKING ON THESE SURFACES. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME ME IT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE ANTI-LOCKING SYSTEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
ACCELERATOR STUCK ON 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. TOYOTA TOLD ME IT HAD TO BE THE ELECTRONICS AND NOT THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY. I WAS SO AFRAID I HAD THE THROTTLE ASSEMPBLY REPLACED ANYWAY AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS WAS ALL BEFORE THE RECENT PUBLICITY. I HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS FOR YOUR REVIEW. TOYOTA NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE HISTORY OF ISSUESS NOR OFFERED TO PAY FOR THIS. UPDATED 02/24/10

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY CRASHED AT 6:40PM OF DEC. 4, 2009. WHEN I WAS NEAR TO EXIT 65 OF HIGHWAY 26 (BEAVERTON, OR), THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME PUT ON BRAKES. I PUT ON BRAKES TOO AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS ABOUT 50 METERS. BUT MY CAR ACCELERATED UNTIL IT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. HISTORICALLY I KNEW MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED SOMETIMES. BUT IT SEEMS ONLY LAST FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I DROVE IT DOWNHILL. CURRENTLY TOYOTA'S RECALL ONLY INCLUDES CAMRY MODEL AFTER 2007. I THINK CAMRY 2006 SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TOO. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I AM CONCERNED THAT MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A TREE THEN SURGED FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BACK INTO THE PARKING AREA WITH TREES THAT I HAD REVERSED OUT OF. MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLES ENGINE REVVED AND SURGED BACK THROUGH THE TREES. IMPACT WITH TREE ON LEFT DRIVERS SIDE FIRST THEN VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO TREE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THERE IS NO TIME TO REACT TO THIS TYPE OF DEADLY SPEED ACCELERATION. WHEN MY VEHICLE DID COME TO A STOP IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WAS $4,300, MY INSURANCE DOUBLED AND I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND THAT I DIDN'T KILL SOMEONE IN THE PARKING LOT. TOYOTA HAS NO RECALL FOR 2006 CAMRY BUT I HAVE COUNTED 50 TO 60 PLUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ALONE UNDER BRAKES, IGNITION, ACCELERATION ETC. TOYOTA SAYS I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH IS TOTALLY UNFAIR. MY VEHICLE HAS DEPRECIATED QUICKLY IN VALUE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, THE ACCIDENT, AND USED PARTS BEING USED IN THE ACCIDENT REPAIR. I FEEL AS IF I AM TAKING A CHANCE WITH MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY CHILD EACH TIME I DRIVE THIS CAR. YOU CANNOT GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID A CRASH. THIS IS DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEEMS TO BE "STICKY" AND HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE PURCHASE - IF YOU DEPRESS THE PEDAL, THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE SPEED WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY. THIS RESULTED IN MY CAR LURCHING FORWARD (WITH A LIGHT PRESS OF THE PEDAL) INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO INJURIES, BUT MY FRONT BUMPER WAS CRACKED FROM THE IMPACT. THERE WAS LESS THAN 5 FEET IN BETWEEN OUR CARS AT THE TIME, BUT ENOUGH FORCE TO PUT THE TRAILER HITCH OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THROUGH THE BUMPER. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT GETS TANGLED WHENEVER IT IS PULLED OUT IN ORDER TO BUCKLE WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE, BUT ONLY THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. YOU THEN HAVE TO MOVE THE ADJUSTABLE SLIDE FOR THE SEAT BELT ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR UP AND DOWN REPEATEDLY IN ORDER TO GET THE SEAT BELT UNTANGLED IN ORDER TO USE IT PROPERLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN JANUARY OF 2007. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I CONTACTED TOYOTA AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE FLOOR MATS WITH THEIR TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES. I PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY (USED) IN JANUARY OF 2007. WHEN I EXPLAINED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE AT TOYOTA THAT MY FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE MOVES INVOLUNTARILY UNDER BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL, HE ASKED ME IF I HAD THE MAT ANCHORED CORRECTLY. I EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NO ANCHOR IN THE CARPETING OR A HOLE WHERE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN ONE. I FURTHER ADVISED THERE WAS NO HOLE IN THE MAT FOR AN ANCHOR. THE REP SOUNDED SURPRISED AT THIS AND TOOK DOWN MY INFORMATION. THE REP TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD HEAR BACK FROM TOYOTA AND TO REMOVE MY MATS AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE RECENT SAFETY ISSUES. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM TOYOTA AND THERE HAS BEEN NO UPDATE ON THIS SITE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MISSING MAT ANCHORS ON THE CARPETS. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE NUT THAT HOLDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM TO ITS MOTOR SHAFT LOOSENED AND CAUSED THE ARM TO VIBRATE. IF THE NUT HAD LOOSENED FURTHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM AND BLADE COULD COME OFF CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF VISIBILITY IN RAIN OR OTHER WINDSHIELD DEBRIS CONDITIONS. THE NUT WAS EASY TO TIGHTEN AND REQUIRED ONLY APPROX 180 DEG CLOCKWISE ROTATION TO TIGHTEN. THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER ARM WAS NOT LOOSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ON ALL CAMRYS. *TR
