ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LXE. HE STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 35 MPH THE RADIATOR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER OFF THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THERE WAS RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE RADIATOR. REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE RADIATOR AND AIR CONDITIONER COOLING COIL WERE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 26,837.

SEAT BELTS
MY 3 YR OLD SON WAS IN A BOOSTER SEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF BACK SEAT. HE WAS STRAPPED IN WITH SEATBELT. WHEN SEATBELT WAS RELEASED, THE SEATBELT WENT BEHIND HIS BACK. I DID NOT NOTICE. IT WAS SOMEHOW WRAPPED AROUND HIS WAIST LIKE A NOOSE. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT HIM THROUGH IT, I COULDN'T GET HIM OUT. HE WAS LITERALLY SUSPENDED SEVERAL INCHES OFF THE SEAT IT WAS SO TIGHT. THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT LOOSEN. IT WAS ONLY GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER. IT EVENTUALLY GOT SO TIGHT IT WAS CUTTING INTO HIS WAIST. I TOOK HIS PANTS AND UNDERWEAR OFF TO TRY MAKE MORE ROOM; TO NO AVAIL. IT WAS EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL FOR HIM. HE WAS SCREAMING AND CRYING. THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT LOOSEN. WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY. DEALERS WERE CLOSED. WE HAD TO CUT THE SEATBELT WITH AN EXACTO KNIFE. SCISSORS WOULD NOT CUT IT. THIS PROBLEM DID OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST, BUT I WAS ABLE TO LIFT HIM OUT. THIS TIME IT WAS SO TIGHT I COULD NOT GET HIM OUT. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY OR IN A REMOTE AREA, I WOULD NOT HAVE AN EXACTO KNIFE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN HIS DEATH. THE DEALER SAID ALL SEATBELTS RETRACT IF FULLY EXTENDED. THIS SEATBELT WAS NOT FULLY EXTENDED. THIS MUST BE A DEFECT. MY HUSBAND IS AN ENGINEER AND COULD NOT LOOSEN! DEALER REFUSES TO FIX OR ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SUSPENSION
2009 CAMRY I BOUGHT A USED CAMRY 2009 WITH 64,000 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THAT WHILE MAKING A TURN, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT AXLES WERE CREATING SOUND. THEN I CALLED TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPT. AROUND NOV 11TH AND REPORTED THIS MATTER TO THEM. THEY GAVE TO ME THE COMPLAINT # 0911116335. THEY ADVISED ME TO GO TO THE LOCAL DEALER. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER ON DEC.3,2009 AND A MECHANIC RODE WITH ME IN THE CAR AND AGREED THAT BOTH AXLES ARE BAD. I LEFT THE CAR WITH THE DEALER TO CONFIRM THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THEY CHARGED ME $ 50.00 FOR INSPECTION AND WROTE THE REPORT THAT ONLY LEFT AXEL WAS BAD. AS I HAVE ALREADY POINTED OUT, MECHANIC HAD ALREADY CONFIRMED THAT BOTH AXLES WERE BAD. IT APPEARS THAT TO 'TONE DOWN' THIS DEFECT, TOYOTA HOME OFFICE ADVISED THE DEALER TO REPORT THAT ONLY ONE AXEL WAS BAD. DEALER'S ESTIMATE FOR REPLACING ONE AXEL WAS AROUND $ 900.00 AFTER 10% DISCOUNT ON THE PARTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MAY BE ONLY FEW 2009 CAMRYS WHICH WOULD HAVE 64,000 MILES ON THEM. I REQUEST YOU TO REGISTER MY COMPLAINT AND LOOK FOR OTHER 2009 CAMRY USERS TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE NOTICED IS THE SIMILAR BRAKE PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA HAS IN PRIUS MODELS. WHEN APPLYING BRAKES ON A SLIPPERY CONDITION, CAR DOES NOT STOP FOR FEW FEET. PLEASE ALSO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
MY TOYOTA CAMRY (2009) ALWAYS STEERS TO THE LEFT ON HIGHWAY. HAVE TO HOLD TIGHT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. SENT TO DEALER, GOT FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. SENT TO THE DEALER AGAIN, THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE, MY FRIEND WHO DROVE THE CAR FELT THE SAME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TOYOTA CAMRY 2009. A FEW TIMES, THE BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONSIVE. ACCELERATOR IS SOMETIMES SLOW TO COME TO IDLE POSITION, WHICH CAUSED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND TROUBLE BRAKING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2009 CAMRY. I KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THIS IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT IS DIFFERENT, BUT ACTUALLY COULD BE RELATED PERHAPS. IF I SET MY CRUISE CONTROL FOR EXAMPLE AT 65 (OR ANY SPEED) AND I BRAKE THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATES. IF I SLOW TO LETS SAY 35 TO GO THROUGH TOWN, AND THEN HIT RESUME, THE CAR ACCELERATES VERY FAST UNTIL IT GETS TO 65 AGAIN. THIS ACCELERATION IS SO FAST THAT YOU OFTEN NEED TO RE-BRAKE TO RE ESTABLISH CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 CAMRY. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE DODGE THAT GRADUALLY GAINS SPEED WHEN I HIT RESUME AND HAVE HAD A 96 CAMRY WITH CRUISE THAT HAD A GRADUAL RETURN TO THE PRESET SPEED. THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAMRY IS DANGEROUS AND FAR FASTER THAN I WOULD EVER ACCELERATE FROM 35 TO 65 ON MY OWN. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TOYOTA CAMRY 2009 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, CAUSING MY CAR TO GET STUCK PERPENDICULAR IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. FOUR DAYS PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT THE ACCELERATOR WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE ACCELERATOR NO LONGER SHOWED ANY PROBLEMS AND THEY DENIED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. CAR HAD CRUISE CONTROL ON AND I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND DISENGAGED IT AND CONTINUED DRIVING. WHEN I PRESSED THE RESUME BUTTON TO GET BACK ON CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR ACCELERATED ABOUT 7 MPH PAST THE SET SPEED AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND REPEATEDLY PRESS THE C.C. CANCEL BUTTON TO STOP EXTRA ACCELERATION. I UNDERSTAND SOME PEOPLE MAY THINK IT'S THE CAR SPEEDING UP TO GET TO THE SPEED QUICKLY, WHICH IT DID, BUT THEN IT JUST KEPT ACCELERATING AND THE MOTOR WAS WHINING LIKE IT WAS REALLY TRYING TO RACE OFF. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT A HALF A DOZEN TIMES BEFORE I STOPPED USING THE C.C. ALL TOGETHER. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD IT WAS THAT THE CAR WAS "ZIPPY" BECAUSE IT WAS A V6 AND IT IS THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEEDING UP TO THE LAST SET SPEED. NO PARTS WERE EVER FIXED ON IT. I ENDED UP SELLING IT LAST YEAR AFTER OWNING IT AROUND 9 MONTHS. *TR

EQUIPMENT, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TWICE WITHIN A WEEK MY GAS PEDAL DID NOT RELEASE, RESULTING IN A CONTINUED ACCELERATION FOR MY 2009 CAMRY HYBRID. FIRST TIME WAS ON AN EXIT RAMP WHERE I RELEASE PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN BUT IT DID NOT MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE SECOND TIME WAS PULLING OUT AND NEEDING TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE, I THEN RELEASED PRESSURE, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN SPEED. BOTH TIMES I MOVE THE FLOOR MAT TOWARD MY SEAT, AND THE SECOND TIME REQUIRED SHIFTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT TO ME AND REPORTED THE ABOVE. THEY LOOKED AT THE MAT AND SECURED IT WITH CLIPS THAT WERE NOT THERE BEFORE. THIS WAS PRIOR TO THE PEDAL RECALLS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS IN A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. I WAS IN A 35 MILES ZONE, GOING UPHILL AND WELL WITHIN THE LIMIT, BUT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE CAR DIDN'T REALLY SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO NOT CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE THAT DIDN'T YIELD AT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT THEN, SINCE THE OTHER DRIVER ADMITTED FAULT, BUT IT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF A DEFECT WITH THE CAR'S ACCELERATION. THANKFULLY NO ONE SUSTAINED ANY SIGNIFICANT INJURIES SINCE THE AIRBAGS GOT DEPLOYED IN THE CAMRY. I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT MUCH OF THE INCIDENT, BUT THE NEWS OF THE RECALLS JUST MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CAR'S ACCELERATION AND NOTHING ELSE. *TR

STEERING
POSSIBLE STEERING ISSUE WITH MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. CAR DRIFTS TO THE LEFT EVEN AFTER DEALERSHIP HAS ALIGNED THE FRONT END. FIRST ALIGNMENT WAS NEEDED RIGHT AFTER I TOOK POSSESSION OF MY NEW CAR MARCH-APRIL 2009, AND 2ND TIME IN THE SUMMER OF 2009. THE VEHICLE SHOULDN'T NEED CONSTANT ALIGNMENTS, NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN FROM A STOP (STOP SIGN) THEN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHERE A QUICK STOP WAS NECESSARY. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL "STUCK" CAUSING A DELAYED STOP AND CONSEQUENT ACCIDENT (MINOR). AT THE TIME, THE DRIVER (WIFE) WASN'T SURE WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY (SORT OF IN SHOCK). *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MODIFICATION ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PER THE RECALL WAS TOO SHORT. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER THE RECALL, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE HIS FOOT UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; HOWEVER, HE IS CONCERNED SINCE THAT IS UNSAFE. THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WITH THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF TOYOTA PROBLEMS, I SAW A WOMAN INTERVIEWED WHO COMPLAINED OF "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" WITH HER TOYOTA WHILE BRAKING. I RECOGNIZED THAT IT IS SOMETHING I HAVE EXPERIENCED FREQUENTLY WITH OUR 2009 CAMRY XLE V6 W. 6 SPEED AUTO TRANS. IT IS NOT A "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" PROBLEM, BUT A SUDDEN FREE-WHEELING PROBLEM, MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING ON LEVEL OR DOWNHILL ROADS. AS YOU BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP, THE AUTO TRANS. DOWNSHIFTS INTO A LOWER GEAR, BUT IT DOESN'T DO IT FAST ENOUGH, SO IT MOMENTARILY GOES THROUGH NEUTRAL CREATING A MOMENTARY FREE-WHEELING SITUATION THAT DOES ACCELERATE THE CAR JUST AS YOU ARE WANTING TO COME TO A STOP. IT IS PARTICULARLY DISCONCERTING WHEN BRAKING INTO AN INTERSECTION WHILE GOING DOWN HILL. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE NUMBER ON 5/21/09 TO REPORT IT, HOPING THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT NORMAL AND CREATED CASE # 0905126552 AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO MY DEALER, WHICH I DID ON 06/01/09. THE DEALER RESET THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COMPUTER, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I LATER REPORTED IT AGAIN TO TOYOTA ON A 07/22/09 CUSTOMER SURVEY. WE HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH IT, BUT ARE CAREFUL WHEN BRAKING INTO AN INTERSECTION. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 2/01/10 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 AM I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA ON THE WASHINGTON DC BELTWAY 495 NORTH FROM VIRGINIA. I WAS NEARING 270 NORTH AND DECIDED I HAD BETTER CHANGE LANES TO STAY ON MY INTENDED ROUTE ON 495. LOOKING IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR I SAW A TRACTOR-TRAILER WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE NEXT TO ME AND I NEEDED SOME RAPID ACCELERATION TO GET AHEAD OF THE TRUCK SO I STAMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I STAMPED MUCH HARDER THAN I NORMALLY WOULD DO. IMMEDIATELY MY ACCELERATOR STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR ACCELERATED FROM APPROXIMATELY 65 TO OVER 85 MILES AN HOUR. I HAD SEEN A TV REPORT ON THE NBC STATION IN DC THAT ADVISED IF YOUR TOYOTA ACCELERATOR STICKS APPLY BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HOLD IT. I FORGOT THE HOLD IT PART AND I STARTED TO PUMP THE BRAKE, WHICH HAD NO EFFECT. I ALSO REMEMBERED THAT THE NEXT THING TO TRY WAS PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. THIS I DID AND THE ACCELERATION STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR OFF INTO AN AREA, A TRIANGLE BETWEEN THE RIGHT LANE OF THE BELTWAY AND AN ONCOMING LANE. I THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR AND PHYSICALLY REACHED DOWN AND PULLED THE ACCELERATOR BACK UP. IT "POPPED" UP LIKE A SPRING. I THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED TO WORK. I REMEMBERED THAT ON LONG TRIP RECENTLY TO ATLANTA THAT ONE OTHER TIME IT FELT LIKE THE ACCELERATOR STUCK, BUT THAT TIME IT WAS MOMENTARY A FEW SECONDS. ON 2/21/10 THE ACCELERATOR STAYED DOWN I AM GUESSING A GOOD 20-30 SECONDS BEFORE I REMEMBERED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. WHEN I GOT TO WORK I CALLED TOYOTA USA TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND THAT I SHOULD CALL A DEALER. I CALLED MY DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE OR EVEN MADE FOR THE CAMRY HYBRID AND THAT HE WOULD JUST HAVE TO REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR ASSEMBLY WITH THE SAME PART. HE SAID THEY HAVEN'T MADE ANY NEW PARTS FOR THE HYBRID. DID NOT SOUND LIKE THEY CARED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SAFETY HAZARD!. 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY (LIKELY ALL HYBRID AUTOMOBILES) WILL CONTINUOUSLY RESTART THE GAS ENGINE TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY IF THE IGNITION SYSTEM IS NOT TURNED OFF WHEN DEPARTING THE VEHICLE. IF THE AUTO IS IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL CO POISONING TO OCCUPANTS WITHIN THE DWELLING. I HAVE OBSERVED A HYBRID CONTINUOUSLY RESTARTING WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THIS CAR IS USUALLY KEPT IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE. THE OWNER FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION UPON LEAVING THE CAR. THIS IS LIKELY A COMMON EVENT. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN SERIOUSLY INJURY OR DEATH, AND MAY HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED AND NOT BEEN PROPERLY IDENTIFIED AND REPORTED. I HAD REPORTED THIS SAFETY HAZARD TO THE NTSB IN MID-2009 WITH NO SUBSEQUENT NTSB ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR FOLLOW-UP. *TR

STEERING
WE OWN A 2009 CAMRY. AS HAS BEEN REPORTED REGARDING THE TOYOTA COROLLA, OUR CAMRY ALSO HAS A PROBLEM OF DRIFTING AT HIGH TO MEDIUM SPEEDS. THE DRIVER MUST BE CONSTANTLY ALERT TO THIS PROBLEM TO ENSURE THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN ITS LANE. OUR TOYOTA DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM BUT SAID IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM, NOT RELATED TO OUR CAR'S STEERING SYSTEM. WE PURCHASED NEW TIRES BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. WE BELIEVE THE STEERING PROBLEM REPORTED ON THE COROLLA ALSO EXISTS IN OUR CAMRY AND THAT THIS UNSAFE SITUATION SHOULD BE CAREFULLY INVESTIGATED. *TR

AT TIMES DURING THE RIDE, IT SEEMED TO SWITCH PULLING BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND LEFT . THE CAR IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW (12,000 MILES)WITH NO DAMAGE FROM OWNERS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:TRUNK LID
EVERY WEEK, I USE A COOLER (STANDARD SIZE) FOR GROCERIES AND PUT THE COOLER IN THE TRUNK OF MY CAMRY. WHENEVER I MAKE SHARP TURNS, THE LID OF THE TRUNK WOULD POP OPEN, PROBABLY BECAUSE THE COOLER HITS THE LATCH INSIDE THE TRUNK. I CONSIDER IT QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE ITEMS MIGHT FALL OUT OF THE TRUNK IF IT'S OPEN. TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM, WE PLACE PIECES OF CARDBOARD AROUND THE COOLER TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING AROUND. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. WE USE COOLERS ALL THE TIME AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR
