ENGINE
2006 TOYOTA CAMRY 80K MILES, HAD COOLANT LEAKING INTO ENGINE CYLINDERS CAUSED BY STRIPPED HEAD GASKET BOLTS. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A DESIGN FLAW FOR THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE WHICH OCCUR TO MANY 2002 - 2006 CAMRY. TOYOTA DEALER WANTED OVER $3,500 TO FIX IT.. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY.

ENGINE
TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SIMPLE OIL/FILTER CHANGE ON JULY 7, 2016. I WAS TOLD THE WATER PUMP HAD LEAK AND REQUIRING THE PUMP TO BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED TO PAY ABOUT $530 TO GET A NEW WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT. I DID LOOK UP THE SIMILAR PROBLEM RELATED TO 2009 CAMRY. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 50,000 MILES MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVEN MILEAGE. THERE HAVE BEEN MORE CASES REPORTED AND SUPPOSEDLY TO BE A RECALL ISSUED FOR NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS/PROBLEMS. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE LOCAL MARIETTA DEALERSHIP IN GEORGIA RIPPING ME OFF OR NOT. I DID NOT ASK FOR THE OLD WATER PUMP TO BE RETURNED TO ME AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE. I DID NOT SEE THE LEAK AT ALL IN MY GARAGE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH IF THERE WAS UNANNOUNCED RECALL FROM TOYOTA, I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR MY WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT BILL.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AT THE HOTEL I WAS STAYING TO GO OUT FOR DINNER WITH MY FRIENDS, I RELEASE THE BRAKES AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE DASH BOARD LIGHTED UP THEN DISAPPEARED BRIEFLY WHEN I PUT IT IN FORWARD. AS I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM THE HOTEL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WAS LIGHTED AGAIN. THEN AS I PROCEED TO GET ON THE FREEWAY THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH WARNING CHECK VSC SYSTEM. (THE HOTEL TO THE FREEWAY RAMP WAS A BLOCK AWAY) I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE FOR SEVERAL MILES ON THE 580, BECAUSE I NOTICED THE BRAKES FELT WEIRD. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD REMAINED LIGHTED. THE RED INDICATOR LIGHT FOR MY BRAKES WERE ON INDICATING THE BRAKES WERE NOT RELEASED, BUT IT WAS. AT THIS POINT I WAS TENSED AND SCARED AS I DROVE ON THE 580 FREEWAY. I EXITED OFF THE FREEWAY SLOWER THAN NORMAL AND I WOULD PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKES LIGHTLY AND IT WOULD JERK AND ROCK. IT WOULD BOUNCE MYSELF AND FRIENDS IN A ROCKING MOTION. WE WERE ALL SCARED WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES AS IT ROCKED. I WAS NOT PLAYING WITH THE BRAKES. MY FRIEND SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, CONFIRMED TO MY FRIEND SITTING IN THE BACK I WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH THE BRAKES AS WE ROCKED WHILE DRIVING OR AT THE STOP SIGNS. I WAS DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY ON THE STREETS DUE TO I WAS AFRAID I MIGHT REAR END SOMEONE. EVERY TIME I MADE THE STOP IT WOULD ROCK. SO FROM THE RESTAURANT TO THE HOTEL I DROVE THE STREETS AND STAYED OFF THE FREEWAY. THE "CHECK VSC "AND INDICATORS LIGHTS REMAINED ON THE WHOLE TIME. THE FOLLOWING DAY, MY HUSBAND DROVE OUT TO GET THE CAR AND DROVE IT HOME FOR ME. WE TOOK THE BACK ROADS HOME TO AVOID FREEWAY DRIVING. AS I DROVE BEHIND HIM, I NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON MOST OF THE TIME. HE TOO NOTICED THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD REMAINED ON AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.

MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE OUT OF NOWHERE. I WAS LOOKING ONLINE AND I SAW WHERE TOYOTA WAS REPLACING THEM FOR THIS SUCH REASON. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 7 YEARS FROM FIRST USE. MY WARRANTY RAN OUT 2 YEARS AGO, SO I GUESS I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I THINK SINCE IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE REPLACED OR AT THE LEAST GIVEN A DISCOUNT ON HAVING TO BUY A NEW ONE.

THE RIGHT VISOR WAS ALREADY HANGING, WOULD NOT STOW, BUT WHILE DRIVING TODAY THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR SNAPPED AND WAS HANGING IN FRONT OF MY FACE TO WHERE I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT THEN I RIPPED THE THING OFF SO I COULD SEE. THIS REALLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE INCIDENTS, AND APPARENTLY MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE CURRENT LIST. UNACCEPTABLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY LE AND THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION. ON AUGUST 13TH 2016, I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT BUT INSTEAD OF GOING BACKWARDS, MY CAR MOVED FORWARD. I TRIED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR BUT THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. THESE TWO ABNORMAL MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS COULD CAUSE TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURIES. I WAS SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR SO I CALLED THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO INFORM THEM OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ME TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW MY CAR TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. TOYOTA ONLY DID A QUICK INSPECTION AND TEST DROVE THE CAR. AFTER, THEY SAID THE CAR IS IN NORMAL CONDITION AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I CAN TAKE MY CAR BACK TO SERVICE WHEN THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE IF THE TRANSMISSION OR BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR ON A BUSY STREET, I WOULD BE DEAD OR HAVE SERIOUS INJURIES. I WOULD NEVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. TOYOTA NEVER ADMITS THAT THEIR CARS HAVE DEFECTS OR FIX THEIR CARS. THEY WILL ONLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CARS AFTER A FATAL CRASH HAPPENS. TOYOTA DID NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE WILL WORK PROPERLY AFTER A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD OR MILEAGE REACHED. A FATAL ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN TO ME OR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD ANY MINUTE AND I DO NOT WANT BEAR ANY LEGAL LIABILITY TO THE ACCIDENT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT IN CASE A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT HAPPENS TO ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU *TR

V6 ENGINE STUMBLED UPON ACCELLERATION IN TRAFFIC.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS IN MY GYM'S PARKING LOT AND HAD JUST TURNED LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE. I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR TO A STOP AS IT MOVED FORWARD INTO THE PARKING SPACE. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND. INSTEAD, THE CAR CONTINUED DRIVING FORWARD ON ITS OWN, AND THEN I HEARD A SOUND OF ACCELERATION, AS IF THE CAR WAS REVVING ITSELF UP TO A HIGHER SPEED. THINKING THAT THE BRAKE HAD NOT ENGAGED, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND PLACED IT BACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, STEPPING HARDER, BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. AT THIS POINT, WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR JUMPED UP ONTO THE CURB WHILE STILL ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, RAN OVER THE SIDEWALK. ROLLED UP AND OVER A TWO-FOOT HEDGE THAT RAN PARALLEL TO THE SIDEWALK, THEN CRASHED INTO THE BRICK ENFORCED CONCRETE COLUMN AT THE CORNER OF THE GYM BUILDING. THE BRICK COLUMN STOPPED THE FORWARD MOMENTUM OF THE CAR, BUT LEFT A LARGE DENT IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR'S BUMPER THAT WAS EMBEDDED WITH CHUNKS OF CONCRETE. IT ALSO DENTED THE HOOD OF THE CAR, PUSHING IT OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE REPORTED MY ACCIDENT TO TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS. I AUTHORIZED THEIR REVIEW OF MY CAR'S EVENT DATA RECORDER AND AM AWAITING THEIR INVESTIGATION REPORT. THIS FRIGHTENING ACCIDENT LEFT ME VERY SHAKEN. IT FELT AS IF I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT ALL. IT SEEMED AS IF SOMETHING HAD TAKEN CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR AND MY ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR'S FORWARD MOMENTUM BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE HAD ZERO IMPACT. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY MALFUNCTION. THEY ARE LETHAL WEAPONS ON OUR CITY STREETS!
