STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES
MY SON HAD DIFFICULTY BRAKING WHEN A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM STEPPED ON HIS BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. CONSEQUENTLY, MY SON HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM CAUSING BUMPER DAMAGE TO THAT CAR, A TOYOTA. MY SON'S CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO THE IMPACT. ALSO, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 AT LESS THAN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

ENGINE
I NOTICED MY CAMRY WAS LOW ON OIL. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THERE IS A RECALL ON MY ENGINE FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THEY VERIFIED INDEED MY CAR HAS AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY FIX IT BUT ALL THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. AT FIRST THEY SAID IT COULD TAKE A MONTH OR TWO. I CALLED BACK A MONTH LATER, DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT TELL ME A DATE AND IT MAY TAKE A YEAR UNTIL THEY HAVE PARTS. I FEEL THAT MY CAR IS BEING COMPROMISED BURNING OIL LIKE THIS. I AM HAVING TO PUT A QUART IN SOMETIMES EVERY 700 MILES! WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF WAITING THIS LONG TO GET THE REPAIR DONE AND MAY HAVING TO WAIT A YEAR IF TOYOTA EVEN GETS BACK TO ME. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE AVOIDING ME AND NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO FIX THIS REPAIR IN A TIMELY MANNER.

ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT NOTICE IT AT FIRST, AS THE SUMMER WORE ON THE DASH BECAME MORE OF A PROBLEM. I WAS HEADED FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO OHIO FOR MY GRANDMOTHER'S FUNERAL WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS MORE THAN JUST A STICKY DASHBOARD. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS ON THE WINDOW CREATING A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. NOT EXACTLY AN IDEAL TIME TO FIND OUT THE CAR YOU HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED WAS BARELY DRIVE-ABLE AT NIGHT!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY THE FIRST TIME THIS EVENT HAPPENED TO ME. MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT MY BRAKE WAS ON I PULLED OVER TO CHECK IT AND MY BRAKE WAS OFF. WHEN I WENT BACK ON THE FREEWAY ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO BRAKE I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL REALLY HARD TO EVEN GET MY CAR TO STOP. THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR SO AND THEN THE BRAKES LOCK AND COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME MY CAR AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME IT BECAME QUITE DANGEROUS. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65 (THE SPEED LIMIT). I WAS BEING VERY CAUTIOUS WITH MY CAR SINCE THAT HAPPENED. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS ON A FREEWAY RAMP MERGING TO GET ONTO A DIFFERENT FREE WAY SECTION. I COULD NOT BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. FINALLY WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH MY BRAKES LOCKED AND I DID A 360 ALMOST HITTING TWO CARS PASSING ME. MY CAR IS AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR LIKE THIS AFTER IT DID THE 360 AT 60 MPH. PLEASE HELP I SUBMITTED PICTURES OF ALL THE LIGHTS THAT COME ON THE PICTURE IS MISSING THE ABS BUT THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL. I ALSO SUBMITTED WHAT I THINK IS THE PROBLEM ALSO. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATES AND SHAKES HARD UPON ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR TORQUE INVERTER REPAIR. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER TWO MORE TIMES, BUT THEY INSISTED THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERN. THE CAR SHAKES HARD WHEN DRIVING AT 20-30 M/H AND MOST OF THE TIME AT 40-50 M/H. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HWY AS IT DOESN'TACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED LIMIT. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR
