TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE STATED WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES WOULD HESITATE TO ENGAGE AND WOULD FEEL SPONGY CAUSING HER TO USE EXTREME FORCE WHEN BRAKING. THIS WOULD OCCUR FREQUENTLY AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGING AS DESIGNED. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INVESTIGATE THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITHIN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ABNORMALLY ACCELERATE. SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DECREASED IN SPEED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT HER YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WERE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT WAS 95,000. UPDATED 6/21/10 *CN WHEN THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER, THEY FOUND AIR IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE SECOND TIME SHE WENT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY FOUND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. UPDATED 06/24/10.*JB

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID NEAR SHREVEPORT, LA USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, WHEN I SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF OFF THE ROAD ON THE SHOLDER. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO NO AVAIL. I LOST CONTROL AND ROLLED OVER TWICE. I HAD 22 STAPLES IN MY HEAD AND A BURN ON MY NECK FROM THE SEAT BELT. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA, BUT PRAISED THE SAFETY FEATURES FOR SAVING MY LIFE AND PURCHASED A 2009 CAMRY HYBRID WHEN THEY BECAME AVAILABLE. MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ENCOURAGED ME TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE MY EXPERINCE WAS SO SIMILAR TO THAT OF OTHER CAMRY OWNERS. MY CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. TOYOTA'S WEBSITE INDICATED THAT HYBRIDS WERE NOT PART OF THE RECALL, HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR 18000 -MILE SERVICE, THE DEALER SAID IT HAD BEEN RECALLED! A REPAIR WAS MADE TO THE GAS PETAL.

THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO APPARENT WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED I.E. LESS THAN THIRTY MILES PER HOUR. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, MY WIFE WAS AT A DEAD STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WITH A TRAFFIC STOP SIGN. SHE WAS WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND ENTER INTO A MAIN THOROUGHFARE. WHILE STOPPED A BICYCLIST BEGAN CROSSING THE STREET FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. HE WAS RIDING UPON HIS BIKE AND AT APPROXIMATELY THE TIME HE WAS IN FRONT OF MY WIFES VEHICLE IT LURCHED FORWARD AND KNOCKED HIM DOWN. THIS INCIDENT TRAUMATIZED MY WIFE.

JAN 2006 AS I ENTERED 290W IN NORTHBORO MA THE CAR ACCELERATED FROM 10MPH TO 80 +MPH WITHOUT WARNING. AS TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF A SEMI TRAILER. WHEN THE CAR WAS REPAIRED OF COURSE I WAS TOLD I HAD STEPPED ON THE GAS NOT THE BRAKE. THIS WAS NOT TRUE!!! HOWEVER, HAVING NO OTHER EXPLANATION I ACCEPTED THE CAUSE. HOWEVER, AS MANY AS 2 DOZEN TIMES THE CAR ACCELERATED WHEN PARKING INTO A SPOT. I HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL IF THIS EVER HAPPENED AGAIN, AND I DID. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS, TOOK IT TO DEALERS, TRIED TO FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE FINALLY TRADED IN THE AUTO AND WANT TO RECOUP MY $4000.00 OF DEDUCTIBLES AND SURCHARGES THAT I PAID FOR NO FAULT OF MINE. HOW DO I DO THIS. [XXX] *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I AM WRITING ABOUT MY CURRENT CAR, A TOYOTA 2006 CAMRY, BECAUSE IT RELATES TO AN ACCIDENT I HAD WITH MY 2005 CAMRY. I AM AWARE THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT RECALLED THE 2006 MODEL. WHEN I START UP MY 2006 CAMRY AFTER IT HAS BEEN IN PARK, WITH THE ENGINE OFF, FOR AS LITTLE AS A 5 MINUTE STOP OR OVERNIGHT IN THE GARAGE, WHEN I SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, THE CAR MOVES BY ITSELF, FAIRLY RAPIDLY, WITHOUT MY FOOT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER ABOUT 3/4 OF A MILE ALONG THE ROAD DURING WHICH I ALTERNATELY APPLY THE BRAKE AND LIFT MY FOOT FROM IT, STILL NOT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR FINALLY BEGINS TO OPERATE NORMALLY REQUIRING FOR THE FIRST MOMENT SOME PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I RETURN HOME, REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR OR LONG I HAVE DRIVEN, AFTER PAUSING TO OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR (BY REMOTE) I EASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR GLIDES INTO THE GARAGE ON IS OWN. WHILE I AM ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR SAFELY SO FAR I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE SITUATION BECAUSE I HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH MY 2005 CAMRY IN AUGUST, 2006. IT HAPPENED AS I EMERGED FROM A CAR WASH. WHEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE FROM NEUTRAL, THE CAR ACCELERATED ITSELF AND STUCK IN HIGH SPEED, AT LEAST 80 MILES PER HOUR. I AM SURE THAT I TRIED TO STOP IT BY APPLYING THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY AND CERTAINLY IN THE END BEFORE I PURPOSELY CRASHED INTO A TREE AFTER A TERRIFYING DRIVE DODGING PEOPLE, CARS, AND BUILDINGS. I SURVIVED ALTHOUGH SUSTAINING A BACK INJURY WHICH NECESSITATED AN OPERATION, BUT THE CAR DID NOT. I DID NOT COMMUNICATE WITH TOYOTA ABOUT IT AND DO NOT KNOW IF MY INSURANCE COMPANY DID. LAST WEEK I TOOK MY 2006 CAMRY TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND DESCRIBED WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE CAR AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THIS "INDEPENDENT" ACCELERATION IS NORMAL AND INTENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE CONSTANTLY COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA DEALERS REGARDING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON MY 2006 TOYOTA. IT TAKES THE CAR A LONGER TIME TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE SKIPPING. IT CAN HAPPEN ON DRY OR WET SURFACES, ON HILLS OR ON FLAT SURFACES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE BRAKES ARE GOOD, THAT THE ABS ON MY CAR ARE NORMAL AND ONE TOYOTA DEALER REPAIR TECHNICIAN SAID HE DID NOT LIKE THE ABS EITHER. NO INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED, HOWEVER, THE CAR IS MAKING ME MORE NERVOUS AS THE CONTINUOUS REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA CAR POUR IN. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY CAR 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATE FROM STOPPED POSITION AT A YIELD AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT THOUGH DAMAGE TO THE FRONT CAR WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT. I STILL COULD NOT FIGURED IT OUT WHY THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED SINCE I DRIVE CAREFULLY. NO OTHER ACCIDENT ON THE RECORD SINCE I STARTED DRIVING FROM 2003. IT HAPPENED AROUND 9AM ON MY DAILY ROUTE TO WORKPLACE. RECENTLY I HEARD ABOUT TOYOTA RECALLS FOR CAMRY 2007 TO 2010. BUT I AM NOT SURE IF MY CAR ALSO HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM. ONCE I VISITED TO SERVICE CENTER AFTER THE INCIDENT FOR REGULAR SERVICE THEN THEY MENTIONED THAT MY CAR'S BRAKE & GAS PEDALS NEED CLEAN-UP OR I HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED. SINCE THEY TOLD LITTLE HIGHER AMOUNT I TOLD NO FOR REPAIR. I AM NOT SURE IF MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2006 TOO HAVE THE PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN RECALL. I HAVE INCIDENT REPORTED WITH MY INSURER AND CAN PROVIDE CLAIM NUMBER, DOCUMENTS, INSURER INFO ETC AS REQUIRED. THERE WERE NO CHARGES PAID TO ANY VEHICLE IN THIS MINOR INCIDENT TILL NOW BUT INSURER HAS KEPT THIS INCIDENT OPEN TILL NOW IF OTHER PARTY MAKES NEW CLAIMS. I STILL THINK WHY MY VEHICLE HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION SO THOUGHT TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT WITH DOT. *TR
