ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE IN MOTION GETTING ONTO FREEWAY. PRESSING GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE CAR NOT ACCELERATING BEYOND 40MPH AND FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING FORCED TO ACCELERATE LIKE THERE WAS DRAG AND PULL. CAR JERKED FORWARD A FEW TIMES AS IF IT WAS BEING CHOKED ON GAS. THE HYBRID DIAL WAS BOUNCING ERRATICALLY AS IF IT WAS CONFUSED AND CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING BEYOND 40 MPH. TOOK IT TO DEALER 1X THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE ISSUE, CALLED TOYOTA CARE AND WAS TOLD ERROR NEEDED DUPLICATING TO BE ADDRESSED. BOTH INCIDENCES HAVE OCCURED WHILE GETTING ONTO A FREEWAY AND PRESSING GAS PEDAL TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE BOTH TIMES WAS ABOVE 90 DEGREES AND THE CAR HAD BEEN AT REST FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR. I TURNED OFF THE A/C TO REDUCE AMOUNT OF POWER CAR WAS USING UP IN ORDER TO HELP WITH ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO 50 MPH AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES AND WAS DRIVING WITH HAZARDS ALL THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND TIME WHEN GETTING ON THE FREEWAY IT WAS NOT BUSY AND WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO 65 MPH, GOT IT UP TO 40 MPH FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THEN HIT TRAFFIC AND WAS GOING ABOUT 17 MPH THEN EXITED THE FREEWAY AND TOOK THE STREETS.

SERVICE BRAKES
REAR BACK BRAKES ARE NOT SAFE THEY LOCK UP. TOYOTA 2017 CAMRY PURCHASE 9/2016. 8/2018 , HAD 5 PT INSPECTION BRAKES WERE GOOD 8MM ALL 4 AT 27000 MILES. THEN 10/2018, LEFT REAR WHEEL SCREECHING NOISES & WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY HOT TO TOUCH AFTER DRIVING15-20 MINUTES. DEALER SAID IT "WAS ENVIRONMENTAL", FOUND THAT REAR BRAKE WAS FROZEN IN BRACKET AND SITTING SIDEWAYS. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? THEY DID SAY IT WAS THE WAY I DROVE AND ENVIRONMENTAL. THEY FIXED IT AND COST ME $500 I ASKED IS THIS DANGEROUS IF BRAKE FREEZES.? 1 YEAR LATER 10/2019 AND ONLY 11000 MILES ON THE NEW BACK BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, THE SAME THING HAPPENS TO THE SAME WHEEL, LEFT REAR. . I CALLED DEALER AND BROUGHT CAR IN. WHAT A DILEMMA. AGAIN THEY SAID IT IS ENVIRONMENTAL?? DUST??. THEY REPORTED THAT THE THE NEW BRAKES PADS ARE NOW 7MM AFTER REPLACING THEM IN 10/2018?? HOW SO ? IT APPEARED THAT AGAIN THE PADS GOT STUCK IN THE CALIPER BRAKET WHICH THEY CLEANED UP AND LUBED. SAME PROBLEM IN 10/2018 I ASKED WHY IS THIS HAPPENING , COULD THE CALIPER AND BRACKET BE DEFECTIVE. THEY SAID IT IS THE MATERIAL CORRODES FASTER. THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE A BRAKE INSPECTION CLEANING EVERY YEAR FOR $125 AS PREVENTATIVE. NOW HOW DOES A CAR AFTER JUST THREE YEARS HAVE ANOTHER BRAKE PROBLEM, THE REAR LEFT WHEEL. ALL OTHER WHEELS/BRAKES ARE GOOD? SO IT IS ENVIRONMENTAL FOR ONE WHEEL?? HEADQUARTERS OF TOYOTAS KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND TELLING THE DEALERS TO TELL THE CUSTOMER THAT IT IS ENVIRONMENTAL. ALSO DEALER ADMITTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER CARS SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA HDQT KNOW ABOUT IT BUT NOT DOING A THING. IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH A POTENTIAL BRAKING PROBLEM THAT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE BRAKE FREEZES AND I AM NOT AWARE OF IT AND THE BRAKE PAD DETERIORATES ON A LONG DRIVE. TOYOTA SHOULD OWE UP TO THE POOR QUALITY OF MATERIAL THEY ARE USING CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO ARISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED INTO THE STREET AND UP A HILL WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVEN TOYOTA (2970 S MAIN ST, HARRISONBURG, VA 22801, (540) 434-1400) WHERE IT WAS KEPT FOR OVER A WEEK, BUT NO FAILURE WERE IDENTIFIED. A WEEK LATER, THE CONTACT PARKED IN FRONT OF A HOUSE WHERE IT ACCELERATED AGAIN ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY REFERRED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT WANTED THE MANUFACTURER TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ASSIGNED TO TWO CASE MANAGERS TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. *BF *LN*JB *TR

MY SAFETY ISSUE IS THE MELTING RUBBER DASHBOARD ISSUE BECOMING STICKY, SHINY AND REFLECTING A GLARE REDUCING AND BLINDING MY VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. I PURCHASED IN 2016 A USED TOYOTA CAMRY LE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. IN SUMMER 2018 I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS TACKY TO THE TOUCH. I ASKED AT A CAR SUPPLIES AND PARTS STORE IF THEY KNEW WHAT CAUSED THIS BUT NO ONE COULD HELP ME. I ASKED CARMAX ONE TIME ABOUT THIS AND TOLD IT MUST ME SOMETHING I PUT ON THE CAR WHICH I HAD NOT. THEN THIS SUMMER 2019 THE DASHBOARD BECAME SO STICKY AND SHINY WITH MELTING RUBBER AND GLARE SO BLINDING IT REDUCES MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND NOW IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN ANY BRIGHT SUNSHINE OR ONCOMING CAR HEADLIGHTS. ON 10-13-2019 WHILE DRIVING I TURNED A CURVE ON A BUSY ROAD AND WAS COMPLETELY BLINDED BY GLARE AND NARROWLY MISSED HITTING AN ONCOMING CAR. I KEEP A CLEAN CAR AND ALL GLASS SO THIS IS NOT A BUILDUP ON THE GLASS. ON 10-14-2019 I BEGAN ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE HAD INDEED BEEN A PROBLEM SO I WENT DIRECTLY TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND EMAILED THIS PROBLEM AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE. I THEN SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER CARE PERSON THAT ADVISED ME THERE WAS A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM BUT THAT PROGRAM HAD EXPIRED AUGUST 2017 AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I EXPRESSLY INQUIRED HOW COULD THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN CARS AND OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. THEY SAID THEY WENT TO EACH STATES DMV TO GET ADDRESS OF TOYOTA OWNERS OF AFFECTED CARS AND MAILED THEM. I EXPLAINED I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016 AND WHAT DO THEY OFFER TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE. I GOT ONLY APOLOGIES. THIS IS EVIDENTLY A KNOWN AND LONG TERM SAFETY PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA CARS AND IS AT A DANGEROUS LEVEL FOR MANY OWNERS OF USED TOYOTA'S WITH NO CORRECTIVE STEPS AVAILABLE.

MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A VERY ROUGH SHIFTING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I REACHED ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN EVER I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, REVERSE, OR PARK THE VEHICLE MAKES A THUD SOUNDS AND SHAKES A BIT. WHENEVER I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I AM ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION HAS A LARGE DELAY BEFORE IT SHIFTS INTO THE NEXT GEAR, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS SHIFTING INTO THE WRONG GEAR BECAUSE OF THE LACK OR POWER OR TOO MUCH POWER AT TIMES. IT IS ESPECIALLY TELLING WHEN I'M ON CITY STREETS AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO LIGHT TO THE TOYOTA AUTO DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST IN THE PAST TO WHICH THEY HAVE RESPONDED THAT THIS IS STANDARD WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS OF THESE 2018 CAMRY'S, AND THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE REPORTED SUCH A THING. I HAVE OWNED 3 TOYOTA CAMRYS BEFORE THIS 2018, AND NEVER HAD I HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS ON THEM. AND IT IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A VEHICLE SO NEW AND WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE TO EXHIBIT SUCH POOR PERFORMANCE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
CAR STALLS SOMETIMES BUT HESITATE EVERY TIME I DRIVE ON STREETS WITH LOW SPEED LIMIT. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN OR SLOW TRAFFIC FLOW, CAR HESITATES FOR 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN ITS FINE. BUT THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. ON HIGHWAY SPEED, IT DOESN'T HESITATE OR STALL UNLESS I COME TO A STOP AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE.

ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 10, AROUND 02:05AM IN HUNTINGTON AVENUE AND PARKER HILL AVENUE IN BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. I WAS AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ON RED, FOOT ON BRAKE AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND IMMEDIATELY I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR SPED OFF OVER 70MPH WHICH I KNOW ON THE CITY ROAD ON A RAINY DAY IT IS A 25MPH ZONE. IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN WITH BRAKES MY CAR STARTED SPINNING , IT CIRCLED IN THE SAME HIGH SPEED ABOUT THREE TIMES, STOPPED AND RETURNED TO NORMAL. FORTUNATELY FOR US IT WAS AN EMPTY STREET DURING THAT EARLY HOURS AND THANK GOD IT DID NOT CRASH INTO ANY PERSON OR PROPERTY. WE CONTINUED TO THE FINAL DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON US HIGHWAY 141IN WISCONSIN, JUST NORTH OF THE LINEVILLE RD EXIT. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT APPROX. 70 MPH. THE TEMP. WAS IN THE 60S AND THE SKY WAS OVERCAST WITH NO PRECIP. THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC AND I WAS ON A FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD WITH NO VEHICLES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OR BEHIND. THERE WAS NO CONSTRUCTION AND/OR ROAD EQUIPMENT IN SIGHT. I HAD NOT DRIVEN UNDER ANY STRUCTURES. SUDDENLY MY SUNROOF EXPLODED ABOVE MY HEAD. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND THE INTERIOR SCREEN WAS PULLED SHUT. I DID NOT SEE ANY OBJECTS OR ANIMALS, ONLY GLASS FLYING IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. IT WAS A TERRIFYING SOUND, LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEAREST EXIT IN A TOWING AREA AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A BIG HOLE IN THE GLASS AND SHARDS OF SHATTERED GLASS ON TOP OF THE INTERIOR SCREEN, WHICH HAD BEEN PULLED SHUT. I CALLED 911 AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. TWO BROWN COUNTY WIS. OFFICERS CAME AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE AND ASSESSED THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY KIND OF GUN SHOT. THE OFFICERS DOCUMENTED THE CALL. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE HOLDING THE INSIDE SCREEN WITH ONE HAND HOLDING IT SHUT, SO IT WOULD NOT BLOW OPEN, FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES TO MEET MY HUSBAND AND SWITCH CARS.I FELT VERY UNSAFE AND WAS SHAKEN, AS I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. I HAVE READ, ONLINE, THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS AND I BELIEVE IT IS A TOYOTA MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT BUT THEY SAID MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY CURRENT "PROGRAMS" AND IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT CUT BY GLASS, BUT WAS BADLY SHAKEN TO THE POINT OF FEELING NAUSEATED FOR HOURS AFTERWARDS.

MY DASH IS MELTING. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. IT'S CHIPPING OFF AND I WAS TOLD THE RECALL EXPIRED. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET IT FIXED IF NEVER A RECALL. ALSO MY ENGINE HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL AND I'VE HAD IT SERVICED PROPERLY AND IN A TIMELY FASHION THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE HAD IT. IT'S THE SEALS THAT KEEP LEAKING. IVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION ON MY TOYOTA. EVER. SO I'M NOT VERY SATISFIED WITH THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS. IM ATTACHING PICTURES OF MY DASH.
