SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE FOLLOWING A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT. I EXITED MY COMMUNITY, BY MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A COUNTY ROAD. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY, AND THE ROAD WAS DAMP DUR TO RECENT RAIN. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT ON A COUNTY ROAD (A TOTAL OF 2 LANES), UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THE BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE REAR END OF THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION TO ENSURE I STAYED IN MY LANE. THE REAR END OF THE CAR STARTED SLIDING TO THE RIGHT SIDE WITHIN MY LANE AND CONTINUED TO SLIDE/DRIFT. AS THE CAR CONTINUED SLIDING THE RIGHT, IT WENT OUTSIDE MY LANE, HIT THE DIRT "SHOULDER", AND HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO SWING TO THE LEFT. WHEN THE CAR HIT THE ROCKS, I FELT MY BODY LIFTED FROM MY SIT, BUT THE SEAT BELT HELD IT BACK. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR, WHICH WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD AT THIS POINT IN THE EVENT. THE CAR WAS HEADED TOWARDS A SMALL RAVINE LOCATED BEHIND THREE TREES. I STEERED THE CAR TO HIT THE TREE INSTEAD OF RUNNING INTO A SMALL RAVINE.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL - THE KNEE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AFTER A REAR END LOW IMPACT CRASH ON 11/09/18. THE BAG DEPLOYED TOWARD MY ANKLE WHICH WAS ON THE BREAK WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT CRUSHED MY ANKLE, COMPOUND FRACTURE WITH DISLOCATION AND DESTRUCTION OF LIGAMENTS AND TENDONS OF THE ANKLE JOINT. THE BONE WAS TURNED AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE. THIS REQUIRED BEING SENT TO THE SHOCK TRAUMA UNIT AT A TRAUMA HOSPITAL IN MEMPHIS, TN. I HAD EXTENSIVE SURGERY ON MY ANKLE AND AN EXTERNAL FIXATOR, WHICH I WILL WEAR UNTIL AROUND MID JANUARY. THEN A WEIGHT BEARING CAST AND EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY. THE FIRST DEPUTY ON SITE SAID IT WAS OBVIOUS THE AIRBAG MORE THAN LIKELY CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO MY ANKLE. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR OR FLOOR BOARD AND NO DAMAGE TO THE BREAK OR ACCELERATOR. I HAD NO OTHER INJURIES, OTHER THAT A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE HEAD FROM THE OTHER AIRBAG. I DID HAVE MY SEATBELT ON. I WAS TOLD AT THE HOSPITAL THAT I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T LOSE MY FOOT, THIS AIRBAG SEEMED TO PROJECT FORCEFULLY DIRECTLY INTO MY ANKLE/FOOT AREA AND I IMMEDIATELY FELT MY ANKLE GO NUMB AND I COULDN'T MOVE IT. THE BONE PROTRUDED OUT OF MY SKIN AND WAS TURNED 90 DEGREES OTHER SURROUNDING BONE WAS FRAGMENTED. SINCE THERE WERE BONE FRAGMENTS THAT WERE TOO SMALL TO REPAIR, THIS WILL COMPLICATE COMPLETE RECOVERY FROM MY INJURY. I HAVE PHOTOS, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO UPLOAD.

STEERING
IF STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT WHEN I START THE ENGINE, WHILE DRIVING THE WHEEL PULLS IN THAT DIRECTION WHILE GOING DOWN THE STREET. IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS STRAIGHT WHEN I TURN ON THE ENGINE AND DRIVE, THE CAR GOES STRAIGHT DOWN THE STREET, NO PULL LEFT OR RIGHT. SO I ALWAYS STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL BEFORE I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.

WHEELS
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A HIGHWAY IN WET CONDITIONS, ON A FLAT, SMOOTH ROAD SURFACE, I HEARD A LOUD POP BUT THERE WAS NOT AN IMPACT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE 1 MILE TO MY DESTINATION AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. APPROX. 30 MINUTES LATER I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE, BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND NOTICED A CHANGE IN THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT THE TIRES AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLAT. AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE, THE MILEAGE WAS APPROX 9,390K. I CONTACTED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, THEY ARRIVED & CHANGED THE TIRE AND I WILL CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, TEAM TOYOTA IN GLEN MILLS, PA.

I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR.

THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. AS SOON AS THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE LEFT, IT HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS THAT SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM AND I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER SLIGHTLY, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR. AS THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT INTO A TREE, RATHER THAN THE SMALL RAVINE IN FONT OF IT AND RISK MY LIFE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ABS/ESP SYSTEM FAILURE & RANDOM ENGINE REVVING BEFORE WRECK THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND CRASH INTO A TREE. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH (BY ROUGHLY 1 MPH). I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN, BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. AS SOON AS THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE LEFT, IT HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS THAT SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM AND I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER SLIGHTLY, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR. AS THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT INTO A TREE, RATHER THAN THE SMALL RAVINE IN FONT OF IT AND RISK MY LIFE. THE ALABAMA STATE TROOPER WHO CAME AND TRIED TO ASSIST ME WAS VERY UNFRIENDLY AND APPEARED TO HAVE A UNCOOPERATIVE ATTITUDE. THE ADRENALINE RUSH TOOK OVER ME, CAUSING ME TO JUMP UP AND DOWN AND MAKE MY WALLET FALL OUT OF MY POCKET. IT FELL INTO A PILE OF LEAVES, WHICH WERE THE SAME COLOR OF THE WALLET (LIGHT LEATHER BROWN). LONG STORY SHORT, THE OFFICER GAVE ME A CITATION FOR NOT HAVING MY LICENSE WITH ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING, BUT I DID AND HE REFUSED TO TAKE AWAY THE CITATION. THE OFFICER ALSO SAID THAT HE WOULD WRITE ME UP FOR RECKLESS DRIVING, WHICH I WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULD DO THAT, IF THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP IN MY CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY HAD ISSUES WITH MY CARS IGNITION COILS AND VSC SYSTEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VSC SYSTEM LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND EVEN THOUGH I'VE SPENT THOUSANDS OF OD DOLLARS ON REPAIRS THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO POP UP EVEN WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND MULTIPLE REPAIRS. MY CAR MISFIRES AND TURNS OFF RANDOMLY THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THE CAR MISFIRES IN IDLE,WHILE DRIVING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS AND IT WONT TURN ON SOMETIMES UNTIL I CONNECT JUMPER CABLES TO THE BATTERY. WHEN I CONNECT THE JUMPER CABLES I NEVER NEED AN EXTRA SOURCE OF POWER I SIMPLY CONNECT ONE END OF THE CABLES TO THE BATTERY AND A FEW SECONDS LATER IT ALL THE LIGHTS TURN ON AGAIN AND THE CAR RESTARTS THE WHOLE SYSTEM.

STEERING
AT 150K MILES STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKING UP WHILE IN MOTION. USUALLY OCCURS WHEN TRYING TO TURN RIGHT, LOCKS FOR 2 OR 3 SECONDS THEN JERKS SLIGHTLY BACK TO THE LEFT. HAS DONE THIS 3 TIMES RECENTLY, TWICE LEAVING ME PAUSED MOMENTARILY IN OPPOSITE LANE OF TRAFFIC! FORTUNATELY NO TRAFFIC WAS IN THAT LANE DURING THOSE MOMENTS BEFORE IT UNLOCKED. THE THIRD SITUATION WAS IN MOTION BUT NOT OUR OF PARKING LOT YET. ALSO MAKES A SCREECHING SOUND WHILE THIS IS GOING ON! I SEE WHERE THERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT LATER YEAR MODEL CAMRYS BUT HAVEN'T SEEN ONE ON 2009. ALSO HAVE NOT SEEN SCREECHING SOUND MENTIONED. TRYING TO FIND OUT IF OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH 2009?
