SERVICE BRAKES
AROUND 11:30 AM, I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON A TWO LANE ROAD, AT APPROX. 25 MPH. THE BLACK VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME APPLIED THE BRAKES AND STOPPED. I WAS ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THE BLACK VEHICLE WHEN I QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR DID NOT STOP NOR EVEN SLOWED DOWN. I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TWO MORE TIMES, AGAIN, AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP NOR SLOWED DOWN UNTIL I HIT THE BLACK VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.

ENGINE
THE LAST OIL CHANGE I HAD WITH MY CAMRY 2008 WAS IN FEBRUARY 2017. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 2000 MILES IN 1.5 MONTHS AFTER THAT OIL CHANGE, I BEGAN TO NOTICE MY CAR PERFORMANCE HAD DEGRADED SO MUCH THAT I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. WHEN I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL I WAS SHOCK TO FIND THERE WAS NO OIL ON MY DIP STICK! I WENT TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP TO PICK UP 2 QUARTS AND ADDED TO MY ENGINE. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO DROP IT OFF AT A TOYOTA DEALER TO PERFORM THE OIL CONSUMPTION AFTER I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS DEFECT IN THE ENGINE ONLINE. IT FAILED THE TEST. AT THIS POINT MY MILEAGE WAS 194,600 AND MY CARS WAS 7 MONTHS SHORT OF TURNING 10 YEARS OLD. THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED WELL AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 150,000! I AM OUT OF LUCK AND TOYOTA REFUSED TO SERVICE MY CAR DUE TO THE EXPIRED WARRANTY!! I FEEL CHEATED OUT OF THE WARRANTY! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALL. HELP!

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS, THE ENGINE WOULD REV CONSIDERABLY & THEN STOP. AS WE APPROACHED OUR DRIVEWAY, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, THEN STOPPED. WE GOT TO OUR GARAGE-ENTRY CONTROL BOX & THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD ON OUR PARKING DECK, GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH, & WE HIT A BRICK WALL. WE THEN PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE & IT LURCHED BACKWARDS SO WE STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF & CALLED THE POLICE. MY HUSBAND, WHO WAS DRIVING, SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES (BLACK & BLUE, INJURED STERNUM, MARK ON HIS COLLARBONE FROM THE SEAT BELT NOT RESTRAINING HIM SUFFICIENTLY, DIFFICULTY BREATHING/STANDING/DRESSING/WALKING - GENERAL PAIN & SUFFERING) WHICH WEREN'T VISIBLE TO THE EMTS AT THE TIME & HE DIDN'T NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL ALTHOUGH HIS REGULAR DOCTOR ADVISED HIM TO SEE ANOTHER AT AN EMERGENCY CARE CENTER. I REFUSED HIM MOVING IT ELSEWHERE AS I DIDN'T WANT TO DO FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE CAR OR ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE WE WAITED FOR THE POLICE. I, AS THE PASSENGER, WAS NOT AFFECTED AT ALL PHYSICALLY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO OUR DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE CENTER WHERE IT'S BEEN SITTING SINCE 3/21/17 AWAITING A TOYOTA INSPECTION ON APRIL 21ST - WHY IT SHOULD TAKE SO LONG IS INCONCEIVABLE AS IT'S OUR ONLY CAR!

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST OIL AFTER TWO OR THREE DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR DETACHED AND LEAKED WATER, AND THE OIL RING FAILED. BOTH COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 187,671.

STEERING
WAS INFORMED THAT MY POWER STEERING COLUMN WAS LEAKING AND THE STEERING DEVICES COULD LOSE ITS RESTRAINTS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS COULD LEAD TO CAR LOSING COMPLETE STEERING CAUSING A SEVERE CRASH AND POTENTIALLY DEATH TO ITS OCCUPANTS. WITH THE RECENT RECALL FOR NISSAN VEHICLES REGARDING POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKS, THERE IS A CONCERN THAT THE LEAKS MAY CAUSE FIRE TO MY VEHICLE. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE TECHNICIAN, HE STATED THAT OVER TIME THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM MAY "RUST" AND NEED REPAIRS. I ASKED ABOUT HOW OFTEN DOES THIS OR HAS THIS ISSUED OCCURRED FOR TOYOTA BRAND CARS OR TRUCKS? NO DATA WAS PROVIDED. I WENT ON TO PRESS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, BUT THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DID NOT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH MY 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY. SINCE GETTING THE NEWS ABOUT MY CAR, I HAVE NOTICED WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS MY CAR QUICKLY SHIFTS STEERING TOWARD THE RIGHT AT VAROUS SPEEDS INTO THE NEXT LANE. I TRY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL BY STAYING IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS TO AVOID CRASHING INTO OTHER CARS.

POWER TRAIN
ACCELERATOR NOT RESPONSIVE. FROM A MOVING START UNDER 20 MPH, PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR MERGING. ACCELERATOR AND MOTOR DOES NOT RESPOND. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. CAR HAS TO BE MOVING AND PROBABLY IN SECOND GEAR. PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON THE FLOOR NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO DRIVE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. ENGINE ALSO DOES NOT RESPOND EITHER. TACHOMOTER REMAINS AT IDLE SPEED. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST TWO OR THREE TIMES A MONTH.

WE OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT REGULARLY SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM. AROUND 145,000 MILES, IT STARTED BURNING OIL RAPIDLY, AROUND 1 QUART EVERY 1,500 MILES. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION BUT, UNLESS THE ISSUE HAPPENS WITHIN 100,000 MILES, WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THIS NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLE.

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT TWO REPLACED. NOW THE TWO REAR DOORS ARE NOT WORKING APPROPRIATELY. WHEN I GO TO USE THE KEYLESS ENTRY THE LOCKS DO NOT RESPOND AT ALL. I HAVE TO UNLOCK THEM MANUALLY. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING WITH THIS CAR.
