ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS THE GAS CAP. OUR MECHANIC HAS TRIED MANY SOLUTIONS TO REPAIR THIS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS LATER, WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THIS VEHICLE - THE EVAPORATION VAPOR CANISTER. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS PIECE WAS PART OF A LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA THAT TOYOTA LOST. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY OVER $400 FOR A PART SO THAT IT PASSES INSPECTION. ESPECIALLY WHEN TOYOTA KNEW THIS PART WAS A PROBLEM. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PART.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD ONLY BEEN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND MY BRAKES SEEMED ROUGH. THE NIGHT BEFORE I BROUGHT MY CAR IN, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. ON AUG 1, 2017, I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT WAS THE ABS ACTUATOR, BUT I WAS TOLD I ALSO NEEDED A BRAKE JOB AND AN ALIGNMENT SO I WENT AHEAD WITH THAT $1,000 JOB. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE IT WAS "FUNCTIONING" AT THE TIME. I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE ABS SYSTEM IN 2013 AND WAS TOLD THAT I MAY APPLY FOR A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THAT $3,600 JOB, BUT I AM NOW OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY/SERVICE CAMPAIGN SO I COULD NOT GET REIMBURSED FOR THE CURRENT ABS FAILURE REPLACEMENT. AFTER MY BRAKE JOB AND ALIGNMENT, THE ROUGHNESS DID NOT SEEM TO IMPROVE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION. FOOLISHLY, I RATIONALIZED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE WORN IN, BUT SOON MY CAR STARTED WITH A HIGH PITCHED NOISE AS I GOT IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES ALSO SEEMED TO "SLIP" SOMETIMES WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE CAR. (FOOT ON BRAKE, START CAR, PUT INTO DRIVE, AND CAR WOULD START TO ROLL UNTIL I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THEN REAPPLIED IT.) I WENT BACK TO TOYOTA HOPING FOR A MIRACLE AND THEY AGAIN SAID YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ABS, BUT THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN HAD NOT BEEN RE-EXTENDED AND I WAS UNABLE TO AFFORD ANOTHER $3,600. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY FAULTY VEHICLE OUT OF NECESSITY. ON OCTOBER 12, 2017, THE CAR BEGAN THE HIGH PITCHED NOISE AND THIS TIME IT DIDN'T STOP. I BEGAN DRIVING IN THE PARKING LOT SLOWLY (20 MPH) AND THEN THE BRAKES FAILED. WAS ABLE TO STOP BY PRESSING VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES. SINCE THAT DAY MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AT MY WORKPLACE UNUSED. OBVIOUSLY, THE ABS SYSTEM THAT WAS REPLACED IN 2013 (STILL AWAITING REIMBURSEMENT) WAS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BAD SYSTEM. WE NEED A RECALL!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VERY DIFFICULT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK, CUTS OFF EVERY SECOND AND AS IT CUTS OFF SPLASHES GASOLINE. NOT ONLY IT IS DIFFICULT TO USE THE CAR, IT IS DANGEROUS. I NOTICED THE FLAP OR THE COVER TO GAS CAP AREA NOT SEALED WELL AND WHEN DRIVING SO MUCH DUST SUCKS IN AND ACCUMULATE ON AND AROUND THE GAS CAP AREA. EVERY TWO THREE MONTHS I KEPT CLEANING AND VACUUMING THE GAS CAP AREA. THE PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AND EVENTUALLY BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL UP THE TANK, CONSTANTLY CUTTING OFF AND SPLASHING GASOLINE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD BOUNCED OFF AND HIT MY SUNROOF! WINDSHIELD IS FINE AND SUNROOFS ARE MADE TOUGH SO I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT TILL ABOUT 15 MILES LATER WHEN I HEARD AIR! MY WINDOWS WERE UP I CHECKED TO SEE IF MAYBE MY DAUGHTER HIT THE BUTTON WHEN WE STOPPED TO GET GAS RIGHT BEFORE THEN! WHEN I OPENED THE SHADE TO THE SUNROOF GLASS FELL IN MY FACE! A WHOLE THE SIZE OF GOLF BALL WAS THERE AND THE WHOLE GLASS WAS SPIDER WEBBED! I WAS ABOUT 1HR AWAY FROM HOME SO I PULLED OVER AND BOUGHT TAPE TO PUT ON IT! I'VE OWNED MANY CARS WITH SUNROOFS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE SHATTER LIKE THIS ONE DID FOR SUCH A TINY ROCK! I WAS TOLD A FEW COMPANIES RECALLED SUNROOFS AND I SURE HOPE Y'ALL ALSO DO! IF THAT SHADE WOULD HAVE BEEN OPEN ME AND MY 6 YEAR OLD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES OF THE ACTUAL GLASS ON HAND BECAUSE I HAD TO QUICK FIX IT TO GET HOME!

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 - 65 MPH. I AM A CAUTIOUS DRIVER AND AM ALWAYS AWARE OF THE CONDITIONS AROUND ME. SUDDENLY, MY CAR JUST TOOK OFF LIKE A SHOT. IT WAS GOING AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. THERE ARE DARK SKID MARKS ON THE ROAD FROM MY BRAKING. I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT, BUT THE NEXT THING I KNEW I HAD FLIPPED INTO THE MEDIAN. I FLIPPED TWO TIMES IN THE AIR BEFORE CRASHING, HOOD FIRST, ON THE MEDIAN. I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS. I WAS MERELY DRIVING, IN THE SLOW LANE, AT A SAFE SPEED. IT IS A MIRACLE I AM ALIVE, AND EVEN MORE-SO THAT I WASN'T INJURED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AT THE END OF THE ACCIDENT, MY SEAT BELT WAS UNLATCHED. I AM GOING TO RECEIVE A CITATION FOR THIS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON 2005 CAMRY'S SINCE THIS HAPPENED, AND HAVE SEEN THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM THIS FAULT AND I NEARLY WAS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY TOYOTA DIDN'T WARN US OF THIS. I KNOW THE VIN NUMBER SAYS NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THIS MODEL, BUT RESEARCH TELLS ME THAT INVOLVED RESEARCH IN SELF-ACCELERATING GAS PEDALS REPORT 'DISTURBING EVIDENCE OF PROBLEMS POTENTIALLY AFFLICTING THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM GOVERNING THE GAS PEDAL, PROBLEMS THAT TOYOTA AND THE HIGHWAY SAFETY AGENCY HAVE SO FAR DISMISSED.' (HUFFPOST, 1/22/12) I AM NOT A 'SUE' PERSON, BUT I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FLAW. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING, HORRIBLE, UNNECESSARY CRASH. I DON'T KNOW WHEN/IF I'LL GET THE COURAGE TO GO BEHIND THE WHEEL AGAIN. IT REPLAYS OVER AND OVER IN MY MIND. THE TERROR IS IMMENSE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
"TAKATA RECALL" MY BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A DIRT ROAD TO GET HOME. INSTEAD I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENDED UP CRASHING INTO A DITCH. MY AIRBAGS INFLATED. NOW MY MUFFLER SOUNDS LIKE ITS RATTLED AND A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE ALWAYS OCCUR WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE DUE TO THE CRASH. ONLY INTERNAL AND PRIOR TO THIS, MY BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME OFF AND ON. I WAS TOLD THAT IT JUST MEANT THAT MY BRAKE SENSOR HAD A GLITCH. OTHER THAN THAT MY BREAKS WORKED JUST FINE WITH NO WARNING SIGNS OF THEM GOING OUT SOONER.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME ON MY 2017 CAMRY XLE 2 NIGHTS AGO (CLEAR NIGHT, DRY ROAD, GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS) I HIT THE BRAKES AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. AS I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH A NOISE, WITHOUT BRAKING. LUCKILY, I WAS ALREADY DRIVING SLOW AND THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME, ELSE I WOULD HAVE HIT ANY CAR THAT HAD BEEN IN FRONT OF ME. I PANICKED AND HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED A LITTLE SHORT OF THE CROSS TRAFFIC, BUT PAST THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO TOYOTA AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO LOG OF THIS EVENT IN THE CAR'S "LOG" AND BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T THERE WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT! THE NEXT DAY, THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING WHEN I DROVE THE CAR IN TO SERVICE (3 MILES), BUT IT TROUBLES ME THAT IT EVEN HAPPENED ON A NEW CAR AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT, BUT TOYOTA SERVICE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAD HAPPENED. REALLY WORRIED!

SERVICE BRAKES
I NEEDED TO SLOW FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK. SEVERAL LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON INCLUDING THE CHECK HYBRID ENGINE, THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM, AND THE ABS LIGHTS. THE POWER BRAKES WERE OFF AND IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STOP. THEN THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY REQUIRING ME TO MANEUVER OUT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED 10 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER WHO SAID SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS IF GAS CAP IS LOOSE. I WAS TOLD I COULD LEAVE AND THEY WOULD TROUBLESHOOT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AND A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS. I LEFT AND CONDUCTED MY OWN TROUBLESHOOTING ON GOOGLE AND SOUNDS LIKE A BRAKE ACTUATOR PROBLEM DUE TO SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER OWNERS. TOYOTA HAS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO MAKE AMENDS. PLEASE ADVISE.
