ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST NOTICED LAST YEAR 2018. HEAT AND A/C CONTROLS SEEMED TO BE FLUCTUATING. A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR A FEW TIMES, UNTIL I STARTED DRIVING A FEW MORE MILES, WORKED SOMEWHAT. NOW MARCH 2019, A/C SEEMED TO BE GETTING WARM IT IS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR AND THE OUTSIDE AIR CONTROL STAYS ON BUT SHOULD NOT WITH THE A/C CONTROL. HEAT SEEMS TO WORK ON AND OFF, JUST NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS ALL WHILE DRIVING. I LEASED THIS CAR, THE ONLY OWNER, GARAGED AND ONLY 41K MILES. I ALSO GOT A WEIRD SMELL ONE TIME BUT CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS. I AM GOING TO CALL FLEMINGTON TOYOTA AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. PROBABLY NOT COVERED. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND THAT IS SO DISTRESSING AND DISHEARTENING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH, I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION WITH A STOP SIGN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND LOST POWER STEERING ELECTRIC BOOST, ABS SYSTEM, STABILITY CONTROL, AND SPEEDOMETER. I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE LEADING UP TO THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NO WARNING LEADING UP TO THIS LOSS OF FUNCTION. ALL SYSTEMS REMAIN NON-FUNCTIONING. WARNING LIGHTS FOR STEERING, BRAKES, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ARE ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR IS FAULTY. THE REPAIR PART NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE. THE TOYOTA REP STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL WARRANTY AT THIS TIME. THE REPAIR WILL BE $3000. THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS COULD BE AN UNRECOGNIZED SYSTEMIC SAFETY HAZARD. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT EXPERIENCED SLOWDOWNS AS OTHERS HAVE REPORTED WHEN EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SYSTEM FAILURES. UNCOMMANDED SLOWDOWNS IN THE HEAVY TRAFFIC IN THIS REGION COULD RESULT IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. REQUEST NHTSA IMMEDIATELY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE ABS PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER WHICH LEADS TO THE INFERENCE THAT ABS ACTUATORS ARE BEING REPLACED WHILE NO NHTSA REPORTS ARE BEING FILED SYSTEMS IMPACTED INCLUDES, BRAKES, STEERING, SPEED CONTROL, STABILITY CONTROL. SYSTEMS ARE BASIC SAFETY SYSTEMS.

DASHBOARD IS BECOMING EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY. NOTHING WIPES IT OFF, AND ITS WORSE IN WARMER WEATHER. ITS SHININESS IS BECOMING DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. I'M WORRIED ABOUT THIS SPREADING TO OTHER PARTS CONNECTED TO THE DASHBOARD, LIKE AC AND AIRBAGS. CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY WAS UP AND IT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO GET IT FIXED. AS THE SECOND OWNER (BOUGHT IT USED), I WAS NEVER GIVEN ANY NOTICE OF COMPLETE COVERAGE OR REPAIRS. NO EMAILS OR LETTERS.

PUSH TO TALK USUALLY DOES NOT WORK. GPS NOT RECOGNIZING VERIFIED ADDRESSES AND VERY INACCURATE. BLUETOOTH CONNECTION OF PHONE AND TOYOTA SYSTEM DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING DURING CALLS. HAVE DOCUMENTED EACH PROBLEM WITH PHOTOS AND WITNESSES, BUT SINCE CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED IN SHOP, THEY IGNORE. TOYOTA DEALER AND NATIONAL CLAIMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED, BUT NONE AVAILABLE AND THEY DO NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT PROBLEM, NOW JUST A CASE NUMBER TO NATIONAL. DEALER HAS TRIED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA. THIS OCCURS STATIONARY AND WHAT IS ALLOWED, WHEN DRIVING.TOYOTA NOT STANDING BY WARRANTY AND WILL NOT REPLACE UNIT!

MY DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY LAST YEAR. I HAVE DONE WHAT I CAN TO PROPERLY CLEAN IT BUT IT KEPT GETTING WORSE. NOW, I CAN'T EVEN TOUCH IT WITHOUT PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD COMING APART. ITEMS LIKE LINT AND DUST STICK TO IT. IN ADDITION, THE DASHBOARD BECOMES INCREDIBLY SHINY AT NIGHT WITH A TERRIBLE GLARE THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE A VOLUNTARY RECALL EXPIRED IN 2017. I NEVER RECEIVED THAT NOTICE AND WAS NOT CONTACTED.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON SUNDAY, APRIL 7TH, I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON THE SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY AT EXACTLY FIFTY-FIVE MPH AND EXITED AT EXIT 17N. THE EXIT RAMP THERE IS SLOPED UPHILL AND PARALLELS TAYLOR ROAD. THERE IS A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THAT RAMP AT HEMPSTEAD AVENUE. JUST AS I WAS COMING TO THE END OF THAT RAMP AT VERY SLOW SPEED AND ALMOST TO THAT SIGN, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SPED UP WITH EXTREME ACCELERATION AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER FORWARD AND THEN BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING ELSE, THE PHENOMENON ENDED AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 700 RPM ON THE DASHBOARD TACHOMETER. I DROVE HOME AND PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, MONDAY APRIL 8TH, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY TO BRING THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER. AS I WAS PREPARING FOR THAT, I STARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I PUT IT INTO REVERSE IN ORDER TO BACK OUT WHEN THE ENGINE AGAIN SUDDENLY SPED UP TO EXTREME ACCELERATION. AGAIN, I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THIS TIME I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE WAS ROTATED CLOCKWISE AND WELL UP INTO THE "RED" ZONE WHICH BEGINS AT 6000 RPM. IN A MOMENT OR SO, THE PHENOMENON AGAIN ENDED AND THE ENGINE AGAIN RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID HAS HAD EPISODIC BRAKING PROBLEMS. AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW/STOP THE CAR THE BRAKE PEDDLE NEEDS TO BE PUSHED DOWN TO THE FLOOR. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING I CAN HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING. IT IS NECESSARY TO PUSH EXTREMELY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE TO STOP THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO MCGEORGE TOYOTA AND AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM. NEITHER FOUND ANY COMPUTER CODES INDICATING THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA REMOVED AND LUBRICATED THE SLIDE PINS FOR THE CALIPHERS AND THEN REINSTALLED THE PINS. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. AS THIS PROBLEM IS EPISODIC, NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR TECHNICIAN COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM RELATED TO THE COMPUTER SENDING A WRONG SIGNAL CAUSING THE ENGINE TO ACCELERATE RATHER THAN ALLOWING THE CAR TO STOP NORMALLY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL "CLOSE CALLS" WHERE THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION NEARLY LEAD TO MY HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR NOT STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN..
