VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MY MORNING COMMUTE I HAD TO INITIATE A FAST ACCELERATION BY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY TO GAIN SPEED AND UPON TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL I NOTICED IT REMAINED DEPRESSED FULLY AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THIS SITUATION HAD HAPPENED A YEAR PRIOR IN A SIMILAR CASE WHERE I HAD PUT "THE PEDAL TO THE METAL" AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES ALLOWED THE ACCELERATOR TO DISENGAGE AND OPERATE AS NORMAL. THE INSTANCE TODAY OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT; MAX ACCELERATION WAS ENGAGED AT AROUND 5MPH AND MY TOP SPEED REACHED 40MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

AIR BAGS
I HAD JUST GOTTEN IN THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE. TURNED THE CAR ON, PUT MY SEATBELT ON, AND BEGAN ENTERING IN A DESTINATION INTO MY PHONE GPS WHEN BOTH THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS IN PARK WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND MY HANDS WERE NOT TOUCHING THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD NOT LEFT THE PARKING SPACE AND NO ONE HIT OR BUMPED THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT WAS AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKES GRAB AND JERK AT LOW SPEEDS. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M BACKING UP OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE FINE AND THE ISSUE IS NORMAL. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER. I NOTICED VIA AN ONLINE SEARCH; THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO REMEDY OFFERED FROM TOYOTA.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN EXPOSED TO WARM TEMPERATURES, THE DASHBOARD BECOMES HIGHLY GLOSSY CAUSING AN EXCESSIVE REFLECTION OFF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CONDITION CREATES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE REDUCED VISIBILITY CAUSED BY THE GLARE AND REFLECTION OFF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO A PRIOR EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT TOYOTA HAD ON THE VEHICLE (WHICH COVERED ONLY CRACKED AND/OR STICKY/MELTING DASHBOARDS. THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THE CRACKED OR MELTING DASHBOARDS ENDED 5/31/17 -- HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY THE GLARE/REFLECTION WHICH IS MORE SERIOUS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SHINY. I HAVE TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO CLEAN IT, AND IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY THE STICKY/ SHINY SURFACE CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. I LEARNED EARLIER TODAY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY CAR REGARDING THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THERE WAS AN EXPIRATION DATE TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED WHICH HAS ALREADY PASSED. THEREFORE IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS FIXED I WILL HAVE TO PAY $1700 OUT OF POCKET. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND ITS RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A DEFECT THAT IS NO FAULT OF MY OWN, BUT IS THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE, IF I HAD I WOULD OF HAD IT REPLACED ACCORDINGLY. THIS DASH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CANNOT PROPERLY SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE SHOULD NOT BE AN EXPIRATION DATE ON FIXING A SAFETY ISSUE!

BOTH SIDE WINDOWS IN THE FRONT HAVE VISIBLE DARK AND LIGHT SPOTS, AND PATTERNS. REAR WINDOWS HAVE A LOT OF RIPPLING DARK PATTERNS. PATTERNS CAN BE SEEN WHEN WE LOOK THROUGH POLARIZED SUNGLASSES. IT IS ALSO VISIBLE WITH BARE EYES FROM AN ANGLE. WHAT IS THE STANDARD OF THE TEMPERED GLASS ON A VEHICLE ? WE THINK THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENED WHETHER OR NOT POLARIZED SUNGLASSES ARE USED WHEN DRIVING. WE ARE NOT SURE IF OUR WINDOWS ARE CONSIDERED AS ABNORMAL OR DEFECT AT THIS LEVEL (SEE PICTURES), THE PATTERNS ON BOTH SIDES (FRONT) WINDOWS ARE DISTRACTING WHEN IT TURNS DARK UNDER THE BRIGHT SUN. WINDOWS IN THE MIDDLE ARE FINE. BESIDES, WE DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH OUR OTHER 3 CARS AT HOME (2 ARE DIFFERENT BRAND) WHEN WE USED OUR POLARIZED SUNGLASSES IN THE PAST YEARS.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN 15TH STREET HEADED TO MCALISTER'S ON JULY 9, 2018. IT WAS RAINING REALLY HARD. I WAS IN THE LANE CLOSEST TO CENTRAL AND MONISH PARK. WHEN I CAME UP ON CHECKERS THE WATER WAS EXTREMELY HIGH AND PROCEEDED TO COVER THE FRONT PART OF MY HOOD. I DROVE THROUGH IT AND REACHED MY DESTINATION. I NOTICED THE NEXT DAY THAT MY AIR WAS NOT BLOWING OUT COLD, BUT WARM AIR. MY HORN SOUNDED REALLY FUNNY WHEN IT WAS BLOWN. I FIGURED WATER MUST HAVE AFFECTED IT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS FINE BEFORE THEN. I GOT MY CAR CHECKED OUT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT BOTH COOLING FANS HAD DETACHED AWAY FROM THE MOTOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
POWER CAR LOCKS WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE WHEN USING THE SWITCHES OR THE REMOTE KEY. CAR ALARM WON'T ACTIVATE BECAUSE THE DOORS WON'T LOCK. ALSO, THE DRIVER SWITCH DOES NOT UNLOCK THE REAR DOOR ANYMORE. THIS COULD BE A REAL DANGER IF YOU HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT AND NEED TO GET THEM OUT IN A HURRY.

STEERING, SEAT BELTS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT, FLIPPED OVER, AND LANDED IN A DITCH. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR BRUISING THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DRIVER WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT DURING THE FAILURE AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FRACTURED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UPSIDE DOWN. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FORCE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT FORCEFULLY EXITED THE VEHICLE AS A FIRE ERUPTED UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO A TOW YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V732000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INDICATED THAT THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR, BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A WRITTEN CONFIRMATION OF THE INVESTIGATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
SINCE THE CAR WAS DELIVERED FROM THE DEALER, THE BRAKES HAVE CONTINUED TO SEVERELY GRAB AT LOW SPEEDS AS IF A CHILD IS JAMMING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EASE THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE WITHOUT THE BRAKES BUCKING SEVERAL TIMES. BACKING UP CAUSES THE SAME BUCKING PROBLEM. THE BUCKING IS SOMEWHAT INTERMITTENT AND THE SLOWER ONE IS MOVING THE WORSE IT SEEMS TO BE. THE CAR HAS 8500 MILES AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PLEASE DETERMINE IF THE FUELRAIL END CAPS THAT ARE MADE BY ARSEN ARE DEFECTIVE. PRE. REQUISITES OF ONE REPORTED MAY BE ENOUGH TO START A INVESTIGATION ADVISING TOYOTA TO RECALL THE 2012 FUEL RAILS ON THE 6 CYLINDER TOYOTA CAMERY.THESE FUELRAILS ARE PROBABLY DEFECTIVE IN THE KIA AND HYUNDAI IF MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY USING THE SAME MATERIAL. PLEASE CROSS CHECK THE INFO TO DETERMINE A CAUSE. IF OVER 400 VEHICLES B4 A NOTICE WAS PUT OUT AND NO SPECIFIC CAUSE WAS NOTED . I WANT TO BELIEVE TOYOTA DOES WHATS CORRECT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AS DID KIA AND HYUNDAI ONLY AFTER 400 PLUS ISSUES AROSE. THAT IS STRAIGHT NEGLIGENCE UPON THE NHTSA WHY SO MANY FIRES BEFORE SOMETHING WAS DONE UNREAL.

OIL BURNING CONSUMPTION, MY VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY BURNING OIL AND WHEN I WENT TO THE TOYOTA OF ORLANDO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE THEY ADVISED MY VEHICLE HAD PASSED THE TEST, SO DUE TO THEM STATING THIS THEY DID NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE , SINCE THEN I HAVE REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA AND THEY TOO, ARE FAILING TO DO ANY REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE AS NOW MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE MILLAGE , BUT WHEN I ORIGINALLY WENT AND GOT THE TEST DONE IT WAS UNDER THE MILLAGE FOR THEM TO FIX IT. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING OIL IN MY VEHICLE AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS FAIR TO ME AS THEY FAILED TO DO THE REPAIR.

VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM. HOWEVER, SYSTEM STAYS ON SEVERAL TIMES EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IN BLIND SPOT PASSES AWAY, ALERT STILL STAYS ON CREATING CONFUSION AND POTENTIAL HAZARD DURING LANE CHANGING. I HAVE RECORDED VIDEO PROOF OF THE SAME.
