2004 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

I PURCHASED A 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA SLE V6 FROM SUPERSTITIONS SPRINGS TOYOTA IN ARIZONA JUST OVER 24 HOURS AGO. WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE IT YESTERDAY I ALMOST GOT IN A BAD ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SOMEONE STARTED TO PULL OVER ON ME. I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND WENT NOWHERE FOR AT LEAST 1-2 SECONDS. THANK GOD THE GUY HEARD MY HORN. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID 'THEY COULD FEEL IT TOO' BUT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAD READ A CUSTOMER COMMENT ABOUT THE PROBLEM JUST ONCE AND THERE WAS A REPLY THAT SAID THERE WAS SOME DOWNLOAD FOR IT. WHEN I MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED AND THERE WERE NO DOWNLOADS FOR IT. TOLD ME THAT IT WAS OPERATING AS IT SHOULD AND THERE WOULD BE SOME HESITATION, THEN STARTED IN ON SOME ENGINEERING EXPLANATION, AND SAID THEY HAVE SOME SPECIALIST COME IN ONCE A MONTH FROM TOYOTA AND HE WOULD ASK HIM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I TRIED TO REITERATE THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED NOW, BUT GOT NO DIFFERENT REPLY. I HAD NOTED SOME SLIGHT HESITATION WHEN I WAS TEST DRIVING IT, BUT REALLY DIDN'T NOTICE ANY APPRECIABLE HESITATION WHEN I VERY BRIEFLY HAD IT ON EXPRESSWAY DRIVE (ONLY ALLOWED ABOUT A 1/2 MILE THEN TOLD TO TURN OFF). HOWEVER YESTERDAY WHEN I FINALLY DROVE IT, I STARTED TO FEEL LIKE I WAS GETTING WHIPLASH FROM THE HESITATION, LUNGING AND JERKING AROUND, AND THEN I ALMOST GOT IN A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING AND HAVE A HUGE LOAN HANGING OVER MY HEAD TO BOOT. I GUESS I WILL JUST DRIVE IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE SO I DON'T GET KILLED DUE TO AN 'ENGINEERING PROBLEM' AND THEN GET RID OF IT AS SOON AS I CAN. I WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. BIG MISTAKE. PLEASE ALSO REFERENCE THIS WEB SITE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/ENTRY/1234000920023135 AND THIS WEB SITE WITH ONE ENTRY AND A REPLY STATING THERE IS A FIX: HTTP://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/VIEWCOMMENTS_REVIEW_76023.HTML

2004 CAMRY BRAKE FLUID LEAK. *TR

TIRES TREAD WORE BELOW LEGAL DEPTH PRIOR TO 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRES, CREATING A HAZARD WHICH CAUSE MY DAUGHTER TO HYDROPLAIN ON ALMOST DRY ROAD - CAR WENT INTO A GRASS MEDIAN TAKING OUT A SIGN AND MUCH DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS ON A 2004 CAMRY THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW - JUST HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY ROTATED THE TIRES - NEVER MENTIONED THE WEAR ON THE TIRES. WHEN THE TIRES WERE EVALUATED AT THE TIRE DEALERSHIP - IT WAS NOT DUE TO IMPROPER AIR PRESSURE OR ALIGNMENT - THE WEAR WAS ALL OVER THE TIRE. *NM

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL HAD A SMALL CRACK ON IT. THE CRACKED EXPANDED THROUGH OUT THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL AND HAD EXTENDED NEAR THE AIR BAG. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG COULD PREMATURELY DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,496.

(1) MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY AFTER SLOWING DOWN A BIT ON AN EXIT RAMP. (2) HESITATION IN ACCELERATION - CAR ACTUALLY SLOWS DRAMATICALLY INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING. (3) ATTEMPTED TO EXERCISE WARRANTY AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT REPAIR. ATTEMPTED ARBITRATION AND THAT FAILED ALSO. NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS REGULARLY. THE DEALER TECHNICIAN CLAIMS THE CAR SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHEN BRAKING AND THEN NEEDS TO SHIFT BACK INTO GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE PERFORMANCE IS TYPICAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD EXPERIENCED VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS THREE TIMES. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS ON A DRY SUNNY DAY TRAVELLING ABOUT 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITHOUT INCIDENT.THE SECOND INCIDENT ALSO INVOLVED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND SHE WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, WHILE ENTERING A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACCELERATING AND THE BRAKES WERE IMMEDIATELY APPLIED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING AND ACCELERATED BACKWARD INTO THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE THEN LUNGED AND ACCELERATED FORWARD, BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT, AND PROCEEDED TO CRASH INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED FRONT END DAMAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON HER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000. UPDATED 05/18/10. *LJ UPDATED 06/15/10 *BF UPDATED 07/19/10*JB

RECENTLY I BROUGHT MY 04 CAMRY TO MY DEALER BECAUSE OF SULFUR SMELL AND RATTLE AT LIGHT ACCELERATION. THE DEALER VERIFIED THE PROBLEMS AND REPLACED THE CONVERTER AND INTAKE MANIFOLD ACCORDING TO THE TSBS. THEY SAID THEY ALSO HAD TO RE-PROGRAM THE ECM. THEN AFTER I PICKED UP THE CAR, I FOUND EVERYTHING IS HARDER: THE ACCELERATION, STEERING, AND BRAKING. I FOUND IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN A SPEED WHETHER ON LOCAL OR HIGHWAY. ON MAY 28,2005, WHILE I DROVE THE CAR ON HIGHWAY WITH 4 PERSONS SITTING IN THE CAR (INCLUDING ME), I FOUND THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD AND FELTED LIKE IT WAS LOCKED, AND I FOUND IT IS VERY HARD TO ACCELERATE TO HWY SPEED AND HARD TO MAINTAIN IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON MAY 31. AFTER HAVING A TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE IT, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SIMILAR TO OTHER CAMRYS (NORMAL) AND WOULDN'T WANT TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THEY NEVER TRIED TO REPRODUCE MY PROBLEM (BY HAVING MORE PEOPLE SITTING IN THE CAR). I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFTY ISSUE SO I FILE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. I ALSO FEEL THE CAR DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT AND ENGINE IS NOISER AFTER THE CONVERT/INTAKE CHANGE AND RE-PROGRAMMING.

DT: CONSUMER BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY IN 2004. THE SALESMAN REPRESENTED THE TIRES AT 50,000 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. IN ONE YEAR, THE TIRE HAD LESS THAN 21,000 MILES AND ALL FOUR WERE BALD. THERE IS A NEED FOR 4 NEW TIRES. CONSUMER CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR TIRES ONLY HAD 20-30,000 MILES ON TIRES. CONSUMER HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH GRANDCHILDREN IN CAR ON THOSE SUPPOSEDLY 50,000 MILE TIRES THINKING THEY HAD LONGER WEAR. VEHICLE NOW NEEDS ALL NEW TIRES AFTER ONE YEAR AND LESS THAN 21,000 MILES. CONSUMER TOOK A TRIP TO FLORIDA @ 14,000 MILES AND AFTER PICKING UP A TACK WENT TO DEALER TO GET REPAIRED AND SERVICE DEALER NOTED THERE WAS UNEVEN WEAR ON TIRES. CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE 3-5 DAYS. TOOK TO FIRESTONE INSTEAD WHO ROTATED TIRES AND SAID THE TIRES WERE NORMAL. YESTERDAY WAS TOLD THE TIRES WERE READY TO BLOW, THE STEEL BELTS WERE ABOUT TO COME. *TT

AFTER DRIVING 1 YEAR ( ABOUT 10000MILES) THE BRAKE FLUID KEPT LOOSING FROM MAX TO MIN LEVEL WITHIN 100 TO 200 MILES DRIVING.TOYOTA HAD RECALLED 2004 TO 2006 AVALON, HIGHLANDER, LEXUS GS 300, & LEXUS IS 250 NO CAMRY.I REPORTED TO NHTSA & TOYOTA AND NO ANSWER. FOR SAFETY CONCERN PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO HELP CONSUMERS TO AVOID THE ACCIDENTS MAY OCCUR. THANKS *TR

DT: 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON THREE OCCASIONS AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE ROARED WHILE THE CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY LURCHED FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.THE CONSUMER HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE INSPECTED. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ON ONE OCCASION HE TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND IT WENT INTO REVERSE. *AK *JB

DT: 5/8/05 10:15 AM AT A STOPLIGHT VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. THEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND HIT CAR IN FRONT. CAR VEERED TO LEFT. KEY HAD TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR. ALL BRAKES FAILED. REGULARLY SERVICED AND RECORDS AVAILABLE.*AK NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE EVER.

2004 TOYOTA SOLARA EXPERIENCING STALLING OR LONG HESITATION WHEN THE VEHICLE'S SPEED IS BELOW 25 MPH AND THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE.*MR THIS OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN ENTERING FAST MOVING TRAFFIC FROM ENTRANCE RAMP ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THIS WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND CANNOT BE CORRECTED. *BF *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT 10 MPH THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD JUMPED THE CURB AND CRASHED INTO SEVERAL SCRUBS. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THERE WAS PRE IMPACT BRAKING. SEAT BELTS WERE IN USE HOWEVER INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY PRIOR TO BEING TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAD MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END AND THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THIS INCIDENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

ON APRIL 26, 2005, MY DAUGHTER DRIVING A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY LE (V6) REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE (AN ACURA) AT AN SPEED OF 50+ MPH AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAMRY WERE DEPLOYED. DRIVERS OF BOTH CARS WERE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. LATER, I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORP. WHICH HAD ONE OF ITS INSPECTOR INSPECT THE WRECKED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED "THE AIRBAGS OPERATED AS DESIGNED." I HAVE REQUESTED ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS A COPY OF THE INSPECTION REPORT AND OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS AND MEMOS FROM TOYOTA CORP AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE REQUESTED DOCUMENTS. IN A MAY 16, 2005, LETTER SENT TO ME BY TOYOTA, THEY HAVE STATED THAT "THE SRS AIRBAGS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO INFLATE IF THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECTED TO A REAR IMPACT, IF IT ROLLS OVER OR IF IT IS INVOLVED IN A LOW SPEED FRONTAL COLLISION." IN REALITY, OUR CAMRY WAS NOT REAR-ENDED, DID NOT ROLL OVER, AND HAD A HIGH SPEED FRONTAL COLLISION OF 50+MPH.

CONTACT STATES: MANUAL TRANSMISSION, GOING 50 MPH WITH NO POWER. SPEED DROPS AND THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. LAST A COUPLE OF SECONDS ANYWHERE 10 TO 30 SECONDS IT PICKS BACK UP. NOTICED ABOUT A WEEK AGO. NORMAL DRIVE HAPPENING ANYTIME. HAVEN'T NOTICED IT BEFORE 50 MPH. SPEED DROPS BUT HASN'T CHANGED SPEED WITH ACCELERATOR WITH STILL APPLYING PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR. NOTICED THIS HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A WEEK. *AK

I HEARD AND FELT A NOISE ON MY STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY AN WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED A STEERING SHAFT/INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. I HAPPENED TO CHECK THE WEB AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM. ALSO THAT THERE WAS A NEW SHAFT MADE TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WHICH IN TURN HAD THE DEALER CONTACT ME. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. HE SAID THAT IF IT HAD 39,000 MILES THEY WOULD PROBABLY REPAIR BUT SINCE I HAD 60,000 THEY WOULD NOT. HE DID OFFERED ME A GOODWILL GESTURE OF 15% OFF THE COST. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUED, AND SINCE THIS HAS TO DO WITH A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THE STEERING WHY WASN'T SOMETHING DONE BEFORE HAVING COME TO THIS. THE CAR RUNS OUT OF WARRANTY AND PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE I ALSO TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SHOP TO SEE WHAT THEY THOUGHT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE SHAFT AND STEERING GEAR BOX. THEY DID REPAIR A VEHICLE OF SOMEONE WHO 'S CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES OVER THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY. *JB

I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY IN 2004. ON THE MORNING OF 4/2/2005, I TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO HER ORTHODONTIST APPOINTMENT. ON MY WAY BACK, I FIRST MADE A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN TO GET ON A PARKWAY. I DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING UNUSUAL. A FEW MINUTES LATER, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN IN ANTICIPATION OF THE END OF THE PARKWAY AND THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING. I TRIED SQUEEZING (TO THE FLOOR) AND TAPPING. I HAD NO EFFECT. THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION (KEPT THE SAME SPEED). BY THE TIME I REACHED THE INTERSECTION, THE LIGHT WAS RED AND ALL THREE LANES HAD VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I STEERED MY CAR BETWEEN TWO LANES TO GET THROUGH THE TRAFFIC (WITH ONLY THE MIRRORS SCRAPED OFF). ONCE THE TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ME, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT TO GRIND AGAINST THE CURB WHICH BROUGHT IT TO A HALT. THE VEHICLE WAS PRONOUNCED TOTAL. THREE OTHER VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED WITH VARYING DEGREES OF DAMAGE (DUE TO DIRECT IMPACT ON THE SIDE OR REACTION TO THE SUDDEN TRAFFIC MOVEMENT). I INFORMED TOYOTA AND REQUESTED THEIR INSPECTION. TOYOTA LATER RESPONDED STATING THAT THEY FOUND NO "DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT". I AM NOT SURE IF THEY TOOK MY REPORT SERIOUSLY. THEY MAY HAVE LOST THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVESTIGATE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY FOR 2 DAYS ON MARCH 31 AND APRIL 1 DURING A DRIVING RAIN STORM CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN FOR 2 DAYS. ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON APRIL 1 AT 3:3 PM OPENED CAR DOOR AND DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR AND CARPETING WAS WET FROM GAS PEDAL UNDER SEAT TO BACK SEAT. TOYOTA SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND I MUST HAVE DRIVEN IN HIGH WATER OR PARKED WHERE MY CAR COULD FLOOD. FIRST OF ALL CAR WASN'T UNDER WATER IN MY DRIVEWAY, IF THAT WAS THE CASE, MY ENTIRE CAR WOULD BE FLOODED, NOT JUST DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD, AND MY HOUSE WOULD BE UNDER WATER. SECOND OF ALL ,IF I HAD DRIVEN IN HIGH WATER BOTH SIDES OF FLOOR BOARD WOULD BE WET. NOT JUST DRIVERS SIDE. ON MARCH 30TH DAY BEFORE THE STORM MY CAR CAME FROM TOYOTA SHOP FROM GETTING A STEERING SHAFT PUT IN THE CAR. MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY DIDN'T SEAL SOMETHING UP AROUND THE FIREWALL, ANYWAY THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR, IS LEAKING ON JUST THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. ALSO BAD RATTLES IN B PILLARS. *AK

I BOUGHT NEW 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY V6LE ON MARCH 2004.I NOTICED THE BRAKE FLUID KEEP LOSING FROM MAX LEVEL TO MIN LEVEL WITHIN 100 MILES DRIVE AFTER 1YEAR OR 8000 MILES UNTIL TODAY (40200MILES). I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC ,NO LEAKING FOUND. I RECENTLY READ THE REPORT BY NHTSA THAT THE TOYOTA BRAKING SYSTEM COULD LOSE MOST OF ITS POWER & EFFECTIVENESS AGREE BECAUSE THAT IS THE PROBLEM OF MY CAR RIGHT NOW. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT MAY HELP YOU TO FIND WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR

PARKING VEHICLE IN GARAGE, NEARING A COMPLETE STOP, TAPPING BRAKE TO HIT PARKING STOP SIGN IN GARAGE, CAR SURGED OUT OF CONTROL CRASHING INTO HOUSE TEARING OUT SHEETROCK. *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE PARKING SPACE MY 2004 CAMERY V6 WITH BRAKE DEPRESSED CAR CAR ACCELERATED WITH VERY HIGH RPM. COULD NOT STOP THE CAR HITTING A GMC TRUCK. WHEN CAR COULD NOT MOVE THE TRUCK IT STOPPED.DROVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. CALLED DEALER THEY STATED IF THE CAR WAS NOT HAVING THE PROBLEM NOW THEY COULDN'T FIX IT . AFTER DRIVING IT MY HUSBAND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND DIDN'T WANT THE CAR BACK UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. RETURNED CAR AFTER STATING THEY WOULD START FILE . *AK

VEHICLE HAS PULLED LEFT EVER SINCE THE TIRES WERE ROTATED FOR THE FIRST TIME. I'VE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES, WITH THEM SHOWING ME THAT THE ALIGNMENT FALLS WITHIN SPECS, AND ATTRIBUTING THE PULL TO ROAD CROWN. I JUST HAD MY 30K MILE SERVICE, AND THEY CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY BECAUSE OF ALIGNMENT ISSUES. I PAID TO HAVE IT ALIGNED AGAIN AND REMINDED THEM ABOUT MY PROBLEMS THE LAST TIME (PLEASE NOTE THAT MY TIRES ARE SUPPOSEDLY ROTATED EACH TIME THE DEALER PERFORMS AN OIL CHANGE). I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND IT STILL PULLED TO THE LEFT. I AM GOING BACK THERE TODAY TO HAVE THEM ROAD TEST IT WITH ME AGAIN, ON THE PHONE THE TECH AGAIN ATTRIBUTED IT TO ROAD CROWN WHICH I DENIED, BUT I'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT A DEALERSHIP OR MANUFACTURER WON'T REPAIR KNOWN ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES.*AK

TOYOTA CAMRY 2004. I PURCHASE TOYOTA CAMRY 2004 NEW AND I HAVE EXPERIENCE ACCELERATION OF CAR FOR TWO OCCASIONS. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AROUND MARCH 2005 IN THE MORNING AND GAS PADDLE WENT DOWN BY ITSELF FOR A 30 SEC OR SO. I DID NOT HAD THE CONTROL OF THE GAS PADDLE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE AROUND 2005. THIS HAPPENED FOR FEW SECONDS ONLY (30-45 SEC). I EXPERIENCE LITTLE INCREASE IN THE SPEED FOR THAT BRIEF PERIOD. I HAVEN'T SHOWN THE PROBLEM TO DEALER. THIS HAPPENED FOR A BRIEF PERIOD SO I THOUGHT SOMETHING IS MY FAULT BUT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE SOME OTHER ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. *TS THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WOULDN'T WORK AT ALL. THE ODOMETER BECAME STUCK ON THE SAME MILEAGE FOR 3-5 DAYS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SPEED SENSOR AND SPEEDOMETER ASSEMBLY SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONSUEMR TRADED THE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PERMANENTLY RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *NM

DT: WHEN CONSUMER'S WIFE WAS BACKING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DRIVEWAY IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK *NM

ON 2/17/05 I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH @50MPH ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY. A DODGE RAM P/U TRUCK TURNED IN FRONT OF ME AT AN INTERSECTION. I RAN INTO THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK GOING AT LEAST 35 MPH. THE POINT OF CONTACT WAS A FULL FRONTAL IMPACT THAT RESULTED IN AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE THAT WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDIENT. POLICE REPORT LISTED THE VEHICLE AS TOTALED. THE FRONT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FRONT LEFT AIRBAG SENSOR LOCATED ON THE FRAME WAS SHEARED FROM THE WIRING ASSEMBLY. I WAS TRANSPORTED FROM THE ACCIDENT IN AN AMBULANCE. MY MOUTH AND THEN MY CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. MY HEAD ALSO HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE IMPACT RESULTED IN A BROKEN TOOTH THAT WAS IMBEDDED IN MY CHIN, A LACERATION ON MY CHIN THAT REQUIRED STITCHES, HEAD, ARM, AND LEG ABRASIONS IN ADDITION TO PULLED MUSCLES IN MY NECK AND BACK THAT STILL REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. *AK

2004 TOYOTA SOLARA THIS CAR IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT 100%. I HAVE REPLACED 2 SETS OF BRAKES, ROTORS, CALIPERS BOTH RIGHT SIDE. ALSO BOTH INNER TIE ROD ENDS AND RIGHT CV SHAFT, WHEEL BEARINGS. A NEW BATTERY THE INTERIOR IS FALLING APART AND THE CAR IS ALL OVER THE ROAD PULLING TO THE RIGHT. TOYOTA REFUSED TO REPLACE MOST OF THE PARTS AS THEY SAY NOT COVERED UNDER THE NEW WARRANTY. *JB

BRAKES FAILED TO WORK WHEN GOING OVER BUMPY ROADS, ASLO BRAKES DO SEEM TO WROK AS\ DESIGN (TO STOP) WHEN IMMEDIATE ACTION IS REQUIRED. I PRESS THE BRAKES WHEN TRYING TO STOP AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT HOWVER THE BRAKES DID NOT APPEAR TO WORK AND THE CAR JST KEPT ON GOING AS I THE BRAKES DID NOT EXIST. I PRESS HARD WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE TIME, HOWEVER THE BRAKES DID NOT EVEN SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25-30 MILES PER HOUR AND THE BRAKES AILED TO REACT AS EXPECTED.*AK

WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC, OUR ELEVEN MONTH-OLD CAMRY LE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE MY FOOT WAS SQUARELY AND FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS: A) THE CAR VIOLENTLY LURCHED FORWARD, AND I INSTINCTIVELY PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP FROM PLOWING INTO THE LINE OF VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME; B) WE HEARD THE ENGINE ACCELERATING; AND, C) I CHECKED THE TACHOMETER AND OBSERVED IT STEADILY INCREASING FROM A NORMAL IDLE SPEED TO ALMOST THE MAXIMUM. I MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PREVENTED THE ENGINE SPEED FROM CONTINUING TO ITS PEAK BY QUICKLY SHIFTING THE CAR INTO PARK AND TURNING IT OFF. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20-30 SECONDS I RESTARTED THE CAR, AND THE IDLE WAS ONCE AGAIN NORMAL. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, APPROXIMATELY 3 BLOCKS AWAY. THE CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE POSSESSION OF THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR OVER TWO MONTHS, AND THEIR MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE EVENT OR FIND ANY RECORD OF THE INCIDENT IN THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER.*AK

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING OF MY 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA SPORT COUPE WITH THE V6 MOTOR. THIS CAR CONSISTENTLY PULLS TO THE LEFT. FURTHER, THE CAR VEERS HARD TO THE LEFT WHEN COMING TO A STOP JUST PRIOR TO STOPPING. IT IS NOT A BRAKE PROBLEM. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM THE WEEK I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALER, LEITH TOYOTA IN RALEIGH, NC, HAD THE WHEELS ROTATED AND THEN ALIGNED ALL FOUR WHEELS. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR HAD DEFECTIVE TIRES. THEY DID NOT DEIGN TO REPLACE THE TIRES. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO ANDERSON TOYOTA IN RALEIGH, NC, AND THEY ALIGNED THE VEHICLE, AND ALSO REPLACED A BROKEN STEERING COMPONENT THAT WAS CAUSING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL. THEN THEY TOLD ME A TSB HAD "JUST COME OUT" ABOUT THE PULL TO THE LEFT, AND THEY NEEDED TO ORDER NEW SPRINGS. I AM SUPPOSED TO GO PICK UP THE AUTO TODAY, BUT I SERIOUSLY DOUBT WHETHER IT IS FIXED, OR WHETHER TOYOTA IS CONCERNED ABOUT MY WELFARE OR MY INVESTMENT. CURRENTLY, THE CAR HAS 26K MILES, AND HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS FOR THIS ISSUE.*AK

WE PURCHASED A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY LE AND LIVE IN SYRACUSE, NY. WE RECEIVE ABOUT 190" OF SNOW PER YEAR AND THEY PUT GOODYEAR INTEGRITY "ALL SEASON" TIRES ON THIS CAR. WE HAVE SLID THROUGH SEVERAL STOP SIGNS AND INTERSECTIONS. THESE TIRES ARE TOUTED AS "ALL-SEASON" BUT WHEN WE CALLED GOODYEAR THEY SAID THAT THEY WEREN'T INTENDED TO BE DRIVEN IN THE SNOW. WHEN I ASKED HER IF WINTER WAS A SEASON, SHE SAID YES BUT.....I ASKED HOW MUCH SNOW CAN THESE TIRES DRIVE THROUGH AND STILL PERFORM AND SHE STATED 2-4 INCHES IS THE NORM. BOTTOM LINE...THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AT BEST. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. THEY DON'T EVEN PERFORM WELL IN RAIN. IF YOU HAVE THESE TIRES, CALL AND COMPLAIN TO GOODYEAR IMMEDIATELY. THEY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PUT THESE TIRES ON ANYONE'S CAR. WHY EVEN BOTHER WITH ABS AND AIRBAGS IF THE TIRES CAN'T STOP THE CAR? *NM

I OWN A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY LE, MY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE ARE TWO THINGS ONE IS THE BRAKING SYSTEM/ABS AND THE SECOND IS THE TIRES BRIDGESTONE. THE PEDAL IS TOO SOFT, DOESN'T STOP THE CAR AS IT SHOULD, THE ABS LOCKED ON MANY OCCASIONS REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER CONDITION. I MANAGED TO HIT A THE FRONT OF THE CAR TWICE AND ONCE IN THE REAR. ALL OF THE ABS SYSTEM, WHILE THE DAMAGE IS ONLY TO MY CAR ITS BECOMING A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING THE HOW SAFE IS THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER AND HE REPLACED THE PADS ONCE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND THE REAR BREAKS ARE MAKING SQUEAKY SOUND. I HAVE 21,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND ITS MY FIRST NEW CAR AND IT WILL BE THE LAST TOYOTA I OWN. THE DEALER DENIES ANY PROBLEMS AND THEY SAY ITS NORMAL BUT ITS NOT. *NM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHIFTED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT INVOLUNTARILY. THE FAILURE OCCURED CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I HAVE A NEW 2004 CAMRY 4 CYL. LE SEDAN WITH 5500 MILES ON THE ORIGINAL BIRDGESTONE TIRES. THESE TIRES HAVE VERY POOR TRACTION ON RAINY ROADS AND WITH EVEN LIGHT SNOW YOU CAN SLIDE EASLY AT 3 MPH AS WE DID. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE MARKET. SHAME ON TOYOTA FOR PUTTING SUCH SUB-STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THEIR CARS. ADVERTISEMENT SAYS THESE TIRES ARE ALL SEASON TIRES, BRIDGESTONE SUGGESTED I PAY FOR UPGRADED TIRES. I SAY WHAY SHOULD I PAY FOR PROPRER ALL SEASON TIRE S THAT WERE SUPPOSE TO COME ON THE CAR.*AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM,A BECAUSE PRESSING THE BRAKES VERY HARD OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS RESULTED IN THE CONTACT SUFFERED FROM PAIN FOOT, LEG AND HIP PAIN. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN CONTACTED, AND THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE OR TO PRESS THE BRAKES WAS CAUSING DIMENSION STOPPING CAPACITY. SHE KNOW LONGER DROVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE PAIN, AND THE CONSTANT FEAR OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. *AK

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). I BOUGHT A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY LE SEDEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. AFTER I START TO DRIVE THE CAR I NOTICED ALMOST EVERY TIME I SAW THE RED LIGHT AND TOOK MY FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL BUT DID NOT PUSH ANY BRAKE, THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN. BUT WHEN THE SPEED AT ABOUT 28 MILES/ HOUR THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SPEED UP TO 29-30 MILES WITHOUT EVEN TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN EL MONTE CA,LONGO TOYOTA IN JAN. 2005. AFTER THE MECHANIC DRIVE WITH ME HE ALSO NOTICED THE PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE SOFT WEAR THAT CONTROL THE GAS. BUT WHEN WE GOT BACK HE TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE SAME AS THE LEXUS WHICH HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AGAIN AFTER I ALMOST INVOLVED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO SUDDEN ACCEL. BUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE AND NO RECALL REGARDING THIS MODEL. THOUGH I STILL KEEP THE CAR AND I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL DUE TO THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION ISSUE. I DEFINITELY THINK THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM ALL THE CARS WERE RECALLED. [XXX]. *TR

THE HEAD RESTRAINTS TAKE 50% OF THE REARVIEW. THIS MAKES THE ABILITY TO SEE VEHICLES DIFFICULT WHEN IN REVERSE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BY CONSUMER.*AK

WHILE DRIVING BRAKES AND/OR STEERING WAS OVER RIDING HIS JUDGMENT. VEHICLE STARTED THE PULL TO THE RIGHT CONSUMER HAD A HARD TIME TRYING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN LINE. *AK....WHILE DRIVING ON DRY FLAT ROAD ABOUT 70 MPH VEHICLE BEGAN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. CONSUMER TRIED TO CORRECT BACK STRAIGHT BUT STEERING DID NOT RESPOND. TURNED HARDER AND TO LEFTAND CAR STARTED LEF TOFF THE ROAD. TRIED TO CORRECT BACK RIGHT LIGHTLY AND STEERING DID NOT RESPOND. TURNE DHARDER RIGHT AND CAR WENT HARD RIGHT ALMOST OFF THE ROAD. CONSUME RHIT THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM LEAVING THE ROAD. ALSO, VEHICLE HAS BAD VIBRATION A THIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM TIRES. *AK

THE VEHICLE'S TIRES WERE WORN AT 11,223 MILES. *NM THE CONSUMER LEARNED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLE'S. *SC

THE CONSUMER WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES. *TC THE BRAKES WERE SPONGY AND WERE FADING AND OR DIMINISHING. *SC *JB

WITH CAR IN CRUISE CONTROL AND COMING TO AN UPHILL GRADE, THE ACCELERATOR SPEEDS UP EXCESSIVELY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT BE SYMPTOMATIC OF A POTENTIAL ACCELERATION WHEN I AM NOT IN CRUISE CONTROL. INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS NOT APPROPRIATE BECAUSE IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I AM IN CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

WHILE PARKING HIS 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY AND HIT A PARKED CAR. *NM WHEN TURNING SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WERE GOING TO FLIP, SHIFTING GEARS WERE NOT SMOOTH, THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SOFT AND WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS AN ERRATIC EFFECT WHEN CHANGING THE RADIO STATIONS. *SC *JB

VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO TWO PARKED VEHICLES BEFORE STOPPING WHEN BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED, AND UPON PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS FAILURE OCCURRED. HOWEVER, THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE STOPPED WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. *AK

CAR STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHEN TRAVELLING 65-70 MPH, LEADING TO HITTING A BRIDGE WALL AND GOING DOWN HILL AFTER THAT.SUSPENSION AND STEERING HEAVILY DAMAGED, ALSO DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF CAR. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS NOW AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I SAW A CAR BEHAVE SO STRANGELY. SINCE TOYOTA CAMRY HAS SO MANY COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS SAYING THAT THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT, I AM THINKING IF THE CAR WAS TAMPERED WITH BEFORE SALE, CAUSING IT TO PULL TO THE RIGHT INSTEAD OF LEFT TO KEEP THE COMPLAINTS AT BAY.. ALSO WHILE DRIVING FOR THE 4 MONTHS THAT I HAD THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WOULD TURN TO THE RIGHT WHEN EVER I BRAKED(I SHOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS AT THAT VERY MOMENT) UNFORTUNATE THAT I AM DOING THIS AFTER BEEN AN HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. *AK

IM A SOLARA 2004 OWNER. I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THOUSANDS OF SOLARA'S OWNERS ARE HAVING. THE ISSUE OF PULL TO THE LEFT AND WHAT TOYOTA AND THE NHTSA ARE DOING TO RESOLVE THIS....NOTHING. TOYOTA SKIPS TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND THE NHTSA DOESN'T CARE OR JUST THEY DON'T WANT TO MAKE TOYOTA TO SOLVE THIS BIG PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON IH-35 IN AUSTIN DUE TO AN ACCIDENT AHEAD. I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE TO AN EXIT LANE AND AFTER MOVING TO THAT LANE, NOTICED A VEHICLE COMING TOWARD ME AT HIGH SPEED. MY WAY WAS CLEAR TO ACCELERATE AND I DID SO, PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ABOUT 1/2 THE WAY DOWN. NOTHING HAPPENED AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE REMAINDER TO THE FLOOR. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE ENGINE FINALLY ACCELERATED. THREE DAYS LATER, ON DEC. 7, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. AFTER EXAMINING THE CAR, THE DEALER CALLED TO EXPLAIN THAT THEY HAD CHECKED THE CAR OVER AND EVERTHING WAS FINE. HE FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT THE 2004 CAMRY WAS EQUIPPED WITH A "DRIVE-BY-WIRE" ACCELERATOR. NO ONE WAS INJURED, NO DAMAGE WAS DONE, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CAR WILL NOT RESPOND QUICKLY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. NOR DO I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED SITUATION. WE HAD DRIVEN A DEMONSTRATOR, A 4 CYLINDER CAMRY, ABOUT SIX MONTHS BEFORE WE PURCHASED OURS. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND PRESSED HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET IT TO MOVE UP AN ENTRANCE RAMP AND IT ALSO DID NOT RESPOND. AT THAT TIME, I DIDN'T PLACE ANY SIGNIFICANCE TO THE CAR NOT RESPONDING, THINKING MY WIFE WASN'T ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE A QUICKLY AS SHE INSISTED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE THE ABS FAILED. THE CONSUMER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE ABS DID NOT KICK IN WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE. *AK *NM
