WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0 EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL PERFORMING AND ACCELERATING. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY TOYOTA.

TWICE WHILE DRIVING LAST WEEK THE CAR ABRUPTLY AND ON ITS OWN, ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW IT DOWN. THE SECOND TIME I PUMPED ON THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, WITHOUT RESULT. I KEPT PUMPING AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE REVVED OVER AND OVER AND IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF EFFORT TO ACTUALLY STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE ONLY STOP REVVING UP WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH GAVE A HUGE JOLT TO THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT NOT EASILY. I HAD MY YOUNG SON IN THE CAR WITH ME AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY. THE ENGINE ONLY STOPPED REVVING WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH CAUSED A HUGE JOLT OF THE CAR.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE ENGINE SHUDDERS UPON ACCELERATION BETWEEN 20 AND 50 MILES PER HOUR. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME FOR THE 2012 CAMRY AND LATER, WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT IN MY MODEL YEAR. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. WHAT GIVES?

CAR CONSUMES A LOT OF OIL WHERE THE ENGINE MAY RUN OUT OF OIL AND SEIZE UP. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT CONSTANTLY CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL. THE CAR CAN USE AROUND A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. I'VE BEEN LOW 2.5 QUARTS OUT OF 4.5 QT CAPACITY WHICH I BELEIVE DAMAGE THE ENGINE.

MY CAR HAS THE STICKY DASH ISSUE THAT MANY TOYOTAS HAVE. I FIRST NOTICED A 'PLASTIC / RUBBER' SMELL IN THE CAR A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT; HOWEVER, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS THE 'NEW CAR SMELL'. LATER I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MY CABIN INLET FILTER. FINALLY THE DASH STARTED BECOMING SOFT AND GOOEY. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR WAS PART OF A RECALL AND TOYOTA AGREED TO REPLACE THE DASH - 9 YEARS LATER. I HAVE BEEN BREATHING THE TOXIC FUMES FROM THE MELTING DASH FOR 9 YEARS, 150K PLUS MILES.

THE SUN VISOR OF MY CAR CANNOT STAY UP. IT KEEPS ROTATING DOWNWARD AND BLOCKS MY VIEW. THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF 2007-2011 CAMRY. I INFORMED TOYOTA BUT THEY DID NOT AGREE TO FIX MY CAR. I ALSO HAVE A 2001 CAMRY, WHICH IS 10 YEARS OLDER AND ITS SUN VISORS WORK FINE. MY FRIEND HAS A 2010 CAMRY AND IT ALSO HAS THE SAME SUN VISOR PROBLEM. HE DID NOT GET ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM EITHER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
IN LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR STARTED TO FALL AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. I PURCHASED ANOTHER DRIVER SIDE VISOR (ABOUT $85.00). LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL ON THE VISOR. I STILL HAD MY RECEIPT AT THE TIME, THEREFORE I SUBMITTED IT FOR A REFUND. WELL GUESS WHAT, THE REPLACEMENT VISOR DID NOT LAST LONG. IT STARTED TO FALL (2012) AND FOR A WHILE IT WOULD STAY UP WHEN I PUSHED IT BACK UP, UNLESS I HIT A POTHOLE OR A BUMP. NOW (2016) IT WILL NO LONGER STAY UP. I AM NOT HAPPY THAT I WILL NEED TO SPEND ESTIMATE $85 FOR A THIRD VISOR THAT WILL ONLY LAST FOR HOW LONG? FIRST TIME SINCE I OWNED A CAR (THIS IS MY THIRD CAR AND FIRST TOYOTA. LAST CAR I HAD FOR 14 YEARS.) THAT I HAVE HAD THIS TYPE OF NON-MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH A CAR. I JUST HAD THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT REPLACED (SEPT. 2017) BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED NOR WOULD IT LOCK. IT JUST FELL OPEN WHILE I WAS PARKED AND WOULD NOT CLOSE AGAIN. THAT COST ME ALMOST $200 TO GET THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX IT, BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT BOX FROM TOYOTA COST WAS $600.

I WAS VISITING SOMEONE AT A HOSPITAL. I ENTERED THE PARKING GARAGE AND PROCEEDED TO THE 2ND FLOOR. I BEGAN TO ENTER A PARKING SPACE SLOWLY WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ALL BY ITSELF FORWARD,SLAMMING INTO THE BARING WALL IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER CRASHING INTO THE WALL, THE ENGINE IS STILL GOING LOUDLY, (REVVING) AND THE TIRES ARE SPINNING. I WAS PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SO HARD TO TRY AND GET THE CAR TO STOP, OR SHUT DOWN, THAT I BROKE 2 BONES IN MY FOOT. THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, INJURING MY CHEST. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO STOP, BY THROWING IT IN PARK.

PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHEDIMAGES.BOTH FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELYOPAQUE. I INCLUDING MY FRIENDS WHO EVER TRIED ARE GETTING HEADACHES WITHIN LESS THAN 2 MINS OF DRIVING.

AFTER ONE WHOLE WEEK OF TRYING TO REACH THE DEALER OVER PHONE, I PHYSICALLY WENT OVER TO THE DEALER AND THEN THE DEALER TOLD ME, "WE CAN'T MAKE ANY DECISIONS RIGHT NOW WITHOUT CONSULTING TOYOTA". THEY ALSO REFUSEDTO PROVIDE ME TEMPORARY LOANERVEHICLE. THIS BRAND NEW CAR IS SIMPLY UN-DRIVABLE. PLEASE ADVISE. ALSO ATTACHED IS PICTURE FROM SIDE WINDOWS WHICH IS GOOD CLEAR, FOR COMPARISON.

AIR BAGS, STEERING, WHEELS
TOYOTA CAMRY VIN [XXX]. TOYOTA CASE #[XXX] POLICE INCIDENT:[XXX] THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT MY WIFE ENDED UP A SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT DATED 9-7-2017. THE TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2016 CAR WHICH WAS ON LEASE FROM THE TOYOTA F OVER 20 MONTHS COMPLETELY TOTALED OUT. THE CAR WAS HIT ON THE NON DRIVER REAR SEAT BY THE OTHER CAR WHILE TURNING. THE IMPACT WAS OF AT LEAST 30-40 M/HR OF THE SPEED.ABOVE CAR SPINNED 180 DEGREE ENDED UP STOPPING DUE TO ROAD SIDE PAVEMENT IN THE OPPOSITE ROAD. THE IMPACTED SIDE WHEEL WAS BROKEN AND ROTATED OUT. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE BUT THE AIR BAGS MAINLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR SEAT DID NOT OPEN AT ALL. THE REMAINING OPEN BAG WAS FLOPPY. BEING A MEDICAL PHYSICIAN, THIS IS SURPRISING AND DISTURBING TO ME. AS THE MOST FATAL CAR INJURY OCCUR DUE TO THE DECELERATION INJURIES DUE TO STEERING WHEEL IMPACT THAT CAN LEAD MAJOR VESSEL LIKE AORTA / HEART RUPTURE. I SEE IT AS THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE CAR.IN THE BACK, BOTH BABY CAR SEATS WERE DAMAGED . FORTUNATELY, MY WIFE DROPPED MY CHILDREN 0.3 MILE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT SITE TO THE DAY CARE WHO IS A 4 MONTH OLD INFANT. I AM VERY SURE THAT IF ANY OF MY CHILDREN WOULD BE IN THE BACK SEAT, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE LIFE THREATENING.S. MY WIFE HAS A CHEST PAIN AND BACK PAIN DECELERATION INJURY CAUSING FRONT CHEST PAIN, HEAD CONCUSSION AND OTHER INJURIES RELATED. I EXPECT SAFETY SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY WHEN COME TO HUMAN LIFE. WE WERE PLANNING TO KEEP THIS CAR AS WE SPEND LEASE MONEY IN TO IT. HOWEVER DUE TO THE ACCIDENT AND TOTAL LOSS OF CAR. IT HAS EFFECTED OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION TO BUY A NEW CAR. THIS IS EFFECTING OUR WORK AS WE ENDED UP IN URGENT SITUATION TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR. I HAVE READ THE NHTSA INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR BAGS AND OTHER DETAILED WHICH FURTHER CONFIRMS MY DOUBT. THANKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING
THE CAR WAS IN OPERATION MODE ON THE FREEWAY, WHILE EXITING THE RAMP- THE CAR STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE STEERING FAILED TO MANEUVER , I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE STEERING TO LEFT AND RIGHT- NO IMPROVEMENT. I HAD TAKEN TO SEVERAL SHOPS TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. IT WAS A FAIL ATTEMPT AS THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. FINALLY, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP QUOTED $350 JUST TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. I HAD NEARLY SPENT OVER $1000 IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS- THE FEES DO NOT INCLUDE TOWING FEES. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THIS OCCURRED THE EXIT OF THE DIRECTION.
