2010 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE STATED THAT WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE WHEELS CONTINUED SPINNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER AND SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED, HOWEVER, THE ROTORS, GAS PEDAL AND FLOOR MATS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE YET THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,406 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000. UPDATED 7/20/10 *CN UPADTED 07/23/10*JB

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2010 CAMRY LE (4 CYLINDER), AND IT HAS ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE SET OF FACTORY-INSTALLED TIRES, ANOTHER SET OF FOUR MICHELIN TIRES, A THIRD SET OF FOUR, AND 2 MORE TIRES AS OF 10/27/2013, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE ONLY NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRES CURIOUSLY GO UNIFORMLY BALD ON THE FRONT IN LESS THAN 1/3RD OF THE LIFE OF THE TIRE. EACH COMPANY FROM WHICH I HAVE PURCHASED NEW MICHELIN OR BFGOODRICH TIRES FOR THIS CAMRY SAID THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL. THEY STATED THAT THE TIRES SHOULD NOT ORDINARILY BE UNIFORMLY BALD OR BE WORN OUT SO QUICKLY. THEY HAVE ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE COME OUT OF THE FACTORY ALIGNED THIS WAY, SINCE THE FIRST PAIR WAS USELESS AFTER SO FEW MILES AND THE NEW TIRES ARE WEARING OUT SO QUICKLY. MOREOVER, THERE ARE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE AC SYSTEM CONTROLS AND THE SENSOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW. THE AC MYSTERIOUSLY TURNS ITS RECYCLED AIR SWITCH FROM RECYCLED TO VENT (WITHOUT BEING PRESSED TO MAKE THE SWITCH) WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW WILL GO NEARLY ALL THE WAY UP (WHEN PRESSED), BUT IT STOPS SHORT OF THE TOP AND THEN ROLLS ITSELF BACK DOWN. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ROBBIN'S TOYOTA SAID HIS MECHANICS COULD NOT GET THESE PROBLEMS TO RE-OCCUR WHEN DRIVEN, AND THEREFORE, HE COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT FIX THE TWO ISSUES, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. FINALLY, I CANNOT REMOVE THE OIL FILTER CANISTER FOR A HOME-OIL CHANGE. I'VE USED THE OEM FILTER CAP WRENCH, BUT I AM UNABLE TO GET THE CANISTER HOUSING TO TURN, WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE OIL FILTER AT HOME. THIS WAS THE FIRST TOYOTA I'VE OWNED, AND IT WILL BE THE LAST. *TR

CAR: 2010 CAMRY LE. TWICE SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN NOVEMBER THE CAR HAS ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS, THE GAS PEDAL TRAVELS TO THE FLOOR, WHEN IT WAS NOT PUSHED THAT FAR. BOTH TIMES I REACTED BY QUICKLY PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO ITS NEUTRAL POSITION. NO DAMAGE, NO INJURIES IN EITHER EVENT.*TR

I HAVE A 2010 CAMRY APPROX 11,000+ MILEAGE. I HAD MY CAR CHECKED FOR THE BRAKES DUE TO THE POPPING SOUND WHEN RELEASE BRAKE PEDAL AND CLICKING AFTER PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN DRIVE. TOYOTA RESPONDED: THE SOUND YOU ARE HEARING IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE, THE BRAKE CALIPERS MECHANICALLY ADJUST TO THE VEHICLE'S FORWARD MOTION. WHEN THIS ADJUSTMENT HAPPENS, A CLICKING SOUND CAN SOMETIMES BE HEARD. THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT CAUSE ANY ISSUES TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I JUST DROPPED MY CAR OFF AGAIN THIS MORNING TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE FOR THE RECALL AFTER THE FIRST TIME TELLING ME THAT IT WASN'T STICKING; BUT I HEARD THAT IT SHOULD STILL BE REPAIRED. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THE SERVICE REP SAID THE SOUND DOESN'T SOUND NORMAL. I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS DRIVING THE CAR AND WORRIED ABOUT THE UNKNOWN OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING CARS FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER HAD THE BRAKES SOUND THIS WAY. *TR

I AM NOT A TOYOTA OWNER, HOWEVER I BELIEVE I AM THE VICTIM OF A TOYOTA ACCIDENT. YESTERDAY, MY CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OF MY OFFICE AT AROUND 10:45 AM I HEAR A CRASH AND SEE MY VEHICLE (2008 CHEVY EQUINOX) PICK UP OFF THE GROUND. VEHICLE OWNER PHUONG VO, DRIVING A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY HAD SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR, AND DAMAGED IT FROM FRONT TO BACK, INCLUDING REMOVING MY BACK AXEL COMPLETELY. WHEN I CAME OUTSIDE, THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL TRUCK FOLLOWING THIS CAMRY. APPARENTLY THE CAMRY HAD HIT THIS PERSONS CAR, HE GOT IN IT TO FOLLOW THE DRIVER, AND THEN WITNESSED THE DRIVER HIT AN ADDITIONAL 5 CARS BEFORE CRASHING INTO MINE AND COMING TO A STOP! NOW I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE, NOT ONLY DOES THIS TOYOTA DRIVER NOT HAVE ENOUGH INSURANCE TO COVER MY DAMAGES, BUT HIS INSURANCE COMPANY IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR MY DAMAGES AND PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE. I DID NOTHING WRONG. JUST WENT TO WORK YESTERDAY, AND NOW I AM OUT OF A $500 DEDUCTIBLE, AND MY VEHICLE IS EXPECTED TO TAKE WEEKS BEFORE BEING REPAIRED. FURTHERMORE, THE ST LOUIS POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD REPORTED THAT WHEN AN OFFICIER TRIED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IT SEEMED AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. *TR

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. I WAS TOLD BY ONE DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR IS NOT AFFECTED. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR IS INCLUDED IN THE ACCELERATOR RECALL. FIRST, WHEN I PUT THE KEYS IN MY CAR AND START IT, IT WILL START TO ACCELERATE TO 2000 RPMS FOR 30 SECS TO A MINUTE BEFORE GOING BELOW 1000RPMS. ALSO, WHEN I DRIVE AROUND TOWN, THE CAR WILL REMAIN ACCELERATED EVEN AFTER I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL OR EVEN AFTER I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND IF MY CAR IS NOT PART OF A RECALL, THIS COULD BE MORE OF A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM (EITHER WITH THE ELECTRIC CHIP OR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL I HAVE) THAN WHAT EVERYONE THINKS NOW. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER 2-3 TIMES (PRIOR TO THE RECALL) AND THEY SAID IT WAS "NORMAL" FOR ALL CAMRYS. BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT NORMAL. *CN

THEIR PROCESS WAS SLOW AND NOT CONSIDERATE TO MY NEEDS AS A CONSUMER. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS AND NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TOYOTA FINALLY RESPONDED AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 4 DAYS FOR SOMEONE ELSE FROM THEIR REGIONAL DEPARTMENT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME. I FINALLY DECIDED TO LET MY INSURANCE COMPANY HANDLE THE VEHICLES DAMAGE BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE ONE CAR. AFTER A WEEK IN THE SHOP I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE A TOYOTA DEALER FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE RECALL ISSUES. TOYOTA EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY FIXED THE RECALL PROBLEMS AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. *TR

I PULLED INTO SHEETZ IN BEDFORD AT ABOUT 515AM ON 01/13/10. I PRESSED THE ON/OFF BUTTON ON THE DASH AT WHICH TIME THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I EXITED THE CAR AND ENSURED THAT THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY COAT POCKET. I SPENT APPROX 5 MINUTES IN THE SHEETZ STORE. ON MY WAY OUT, AN UNIDENTIFIED SHEETZ CUSTOMER CAME INTO THE STORE AND ASKED WHO'S WHITE CAMERY WAS IN THE PARKING LOT. THAT WAS MY RENTAL. WE EXITED THE STORE AND APPROACHED THE CAR, WHICH WAS NOW STOPPED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLOPPED PARKING LOT AND NEAR A GRAY F-250. NOTICED DAMAGE TO THE HOOD; FRONT BUMPER AND DRIVER-SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE CUSTOMER BEGAN TO TELL ME HE HAD SEEN ME APPROACH THE STORE FROM THE CAR AND THEN HE SAW THE CAR ROLL AWAY A FEW MINUTES LATER. HE HADN'T NOTICED I WASN'T IN THE CAR. HE SAID HE RAN TO THE CAR TO CHECK ON ME AND REALIZED I WASN'T IN THE CAR. WHEN I LOOKED INTO THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND SHUT OFF. I ASKED THE CUSTOMER IF HE HAD TOUCHED THE CAR AND HE ADVISED NO HE HADN'T. THE CAR WAS OFF AND IN PARK WHEN HE GOT TO IT. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR BEEPING SOUNDS AS I LEFT THE CAR. THIS WAS A HERTZ RENTAL CAR AND THEY ARE NOW WANTING ME TO PAY FOR DAMAGES. THE CAR IS A 2010 TOYOTA HYBRID. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE ROLLAWAY IF CAR IS OFF AND IN PARK. I FEEL THIS IS A TOYOTA PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

DRIFTING IN 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT LEFT AND RIGHT BUT NOT GO STRAIGHT. AFTER SEVERAL ALIGNMENTS AND REPLACEMENT OF TIRES AND WHEELS A NEW WRACK WAS INSTALLED AND THAT ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM. I AM AWARE OF 3 OTHER 2010 CAMRYS AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I AM REQUESTING THAT DOT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE DRIVER'S CONTRIBUTION TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION (UA) AND TOYOTA'S ACCELERATOR/BRAKE PEDAL DESIGNS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE. I WAS DRIVING A RENTED TOYOTA CAMRY IN A PARKING LOT. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO GAIN SPEED. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE AND IT ACCELERATED. THE HARDER I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR THE FASTER IT WENT. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE FOR A MOMENT AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. I BELIEVE THAT MY FOOT WAS ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDALS. I MEASURED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR AND FOUND THAT IT WAS ONLY 1.5 INCHES. MY VEHICLE A GM ACADIA IS 2.5 INCHES. THIS MADE ME THINK THAT THE TOPS OF THE TWO PEDALS ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. I MANAGED TO FIND 6 DIFFERENT TOYOTA MODELS INCLUDING THE PRIUS AND THEY AVERAGED 1.5 INCHES BETWEEN THE TOPS OF THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDALS. I MEASURE COMPETITIVE VEHICLES AND FOUND THEY AVERAGED 2.2 INCHES. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TOYOTA DESIGNS ' THEY ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. I HAVE CONTINUED TO INVESTIGATE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND HAVE COLLECTED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DATA THAT SUPPORTS THE FACT THAT THE DRIVER IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF UA AND THAT SOME VEHICLE DESIGNS MAKE IT POSSIBLE. I HAVE CONDUCTED DRIVING TESTS AND SIMULATED THE CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE UA. THEY CLEARLY IDENTIFY THAT TOYOTA PEDAL DESIGNS CONTRIBUTE TO THE DRIVER BEING A CAUSE OF UA. GOOD VEHICLE PEDAL DESIGNS MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SIMULTANEOUSLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY DEPRESS BOTH PEDALS. FROM THE ODI INCIDENT REPORTS GM VEHICLES SEEM TO BE PARTICULARLY INSENSITIVE WHILE THE FORD 150 TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE PEDAL DESIGNS OR OPERATION THAT MAKES THIS POSSIBLE. I HAVE READ TWO OLDER DOT REPORTS CONCERNING UA AND THEY INDICATE THAT THE DRIVER IS A CAUSE OF UA. WHY IS THAT NOT STUDIED AND ACKNOWLEDGED NOW? PLEASE FORMALLY INVESTIGATE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THEY DID NOT TELL ME THAT THERE WERE 3 MILLION IN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THAT IS VERY DISHONEST. I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL. THAT IS LYING. TOYOTA DID NOT LOOK AT MY FLOORMATS OR ACCELERATOR. THEY DID NOTHING TO SECURE MY SAFETY OR EVALUATE MY FLOORMAT OR ACCELERATOR WHEN I WENT IN THERE. *TR

I EXPERIENCED A RUNAWAY ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CAMRY LE V6 (MADE IN JAPAN). WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK PLACE I WAS TRYING TO PULL AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. AS I TRIED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE STOP SIGN THE TIRES SLIPPED BECAUSE IT HAD JUST SNOWED. I GAVE IT A BIT MORE GAS TO GET OVER THE SNOW WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE STOP SIGN THE ENGINE REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. I PRESSED AND HELD DOWN ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO PULL FORWARD, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WAS AT REDLINE FOR ABOUT 10 MORE SECONDS THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. AT NO TIME DID I FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR, IT WAS NOT STUCK. I STEPPED DOWN ON THE GAS JUST A BIT TO CLEAR THE SNOW PATCH AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. I AM LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC, AND I KNEW ENOUGH TO HOLD DOWN FIRM ON THE BRAKE, OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I BOUGHT 2010 CAMRY COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND HEAR A HEAVY WIND NOISE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM TOLD BY TOYOTA REP THAT IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND THERE IS NOTHING CAN BE DONE. BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES AND FRONT OF THE CAR IS IDENTICAL. IF IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE THEN WHY NOISE ON RIGHT SIDE ONLY. NOT SURE IF SOMETHING GOING TO LET LOOSE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA. ALREADY THERE ARE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS SUCH AS ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BRAKES AND SO FORTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) FROM:[XXX] SUBJECT:TOYOTA COMMENTS: I RECALL A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MILITARY AIRCRAFT, IN WHICH THE ENGINEERS (MYSELF INCLUDED), COULD NOT ISOLATE A SYSTEM ERROR. IT WAS REPEATEDLY FIXED WITH NO SUCCESS. THE PROBLEM FELL DOWN TO A FIRMWARE ERROR, ON WHICH THE SOFTWARE WAS RUNNING. THE FIRMWARE LOGIC CODE WAS A THIRD PARTY PROVISION TO THE SYSTEM, AND NONE OF THE ENGINEERS HAD REAL ACCESS TO THE LOGIC CIRCUITRY. THE FIRMWARE TESTED FINE, AND RAN THE TEST CODE AS WELL, WITH NO ERRORS. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE SYSTEM WAS FULLY OPERATIONAL, THAT THE SYSTEM THREW THE ERRORS. SINCE IT WAS THE FIRMWARE THAT THREW THE ERRORS, NONE OF THE SENSORS OR ANY OF THE SYSTEM LOGS CAUGHT THE PROBLEM. THE VENDOR OF THE FIRMWARE "ASSUMED" IT WAS ALWAYS THE USER CODE "THE OEM" THAT WAS AT FAULT, AND ANY LOG WAS AIMED AT MONITORING THE SOFTWARE EXECUTION, AND NOT THE FIRMWARE PROCESSING. IN WATCHING THE MAJOR AUTO MANUFACTURER COME TO HIS KNEES, IT STRUCK ME AS TO HOW SIMILAR, THE SITUATION SEEMS IN THIS CASE, TO WHAT WE EXPERIENCED, IN THE AIR FORCE. PERHAPS THERE SHOULD BE SOME MODICUM OF CONSIDERATION TO THE FIRMWARE ARCHITECTURE IN YOUR INVESTIGATION, AND NOT JUST THE SOFTWARE. JUST A THOUGHT FOR YOU TO HAVE FUN WITH. DAVEC FROM NHTSA WEB SITE. *TR

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. LOSS OF VALUE BECAUSE OF RECALLS. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. MY CAR HAS DRIVEN "DIFFERENTLY" SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I WILL BE AT A STOP LIGHT, AND IT WILL JUST START MOVING-EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. IT FEELS LIKE IT DRIVES IN CRUISE CONTROL AND JUST DOESN'T LET UP. AFTER THIS RECALL, I AM 100% NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. IS THIS HOW IT STARTS? I CALL THE 800 # AND SIT ON HOLD FOREVER, OR I AM TOLD FURTHER INFORMATION IS FORTHCOMING. I DRIVE 60 MILES A DAY AND HAVE A SMALL CHILD. MY CAR IS BRAND NEW, IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT LEASED A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY ON DECEMBER, 29 2009. THE CONTACT HAS NOT EXPERIENCED THE ACCELERATION FAILURE; HOWEVER, SHE REQUESTED THE DEALER TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BACK AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED.

THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 CAMRY, THE CAR SEEMED TO RIDE FUNNY. I FELT UNEASY BUT INITIALLY THOUGHT IT MAY BE THAT IT WAS MY FIRST COMPLETELY NEW CAR. THIS WENT ON FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, I.E. THE CAR SEEMING TO JERK OR HEAVE, REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED. I WAS WORRIED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE AIRCONDITION/HEATING BOARD STOPPED WORKING SO I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INSTEAD. I TOOK IT IN. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AWAY, EXPLAINED THE 'ELECTRICAL PROBLEM', AND STATED THAT THE HEAVING FEELING I WAS SENSING WAS THAT THE CAR WAS COMPUTERIZED AND THAT IT TOOK TIME FOR THE ACCELERATOR TO CATCH UP WITH THE SIGNAL THE COMPUTER WAS GIVING IT, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HE RAN AN ENGINE CHECK AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ON MY SERVICE SHEET HE SIMPLY STATED THAT I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR HESITATING (WHICH I DID NOT), BUT DID NOT DOCUMENT THAT I BROUGHT THE CAR IN COMPLAINING THAT IT HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. A WEEK LATER THERE WAS THE RECALL. WHEN I LATER CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL AND CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM, THE SERVICEMAN ( A DIFFERENT ONE) TOLD ME THAT I WOULD FEEL NO CHANGE IN THE WAY THE WAY THE CAR DROVE SO HE WOULD HAVE SOMEONE RIDE WITH ME TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THE DAY BEFORE TAKING THE CAR IN FOR THE FIX, THE CAR SLIGHTLY ACCELERATED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO COME TO A STOP. AFTER THE FIX, A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE RODE WITH ME (I LET HIM DRIVE), BUT THE CAR DID APPEAR TO RIDE BETTER AFTER THE FIX. THE CAR DOES STILL FEEL BETTER THAN WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT BUT SEEMS TO BE GRADUALLY GETTING WORSE SINCE THE FIX, E.G. THE CAR OCCASIONALLY SLIGHTLY ACCELERATES WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP. *TR

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER REQUESTS ASSISTANCE WITH A RECONSIDERATION OF INTEREST RATE AND REPAIR ISSUE WITH VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER DUE TO A NOISE THAT WAS OCCURRING RIGHT AFTER SHE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN DRIVE. THE NOISE EXISTED FROM THE TIME SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE EXPLANATION SHE RECEIVED WAS THAT ALL CAMRY'S MADE THAT NOISE AS IT CAME FROM THE BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGING. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO RIDE IN ANOTHER CAMRY TO COMPARE THE SOUNDS AS HER VEHICLE WAS VERY LOUD. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE LOT. THE SERVICE MANAGER THEN STATED HE WOULD OPEN A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SYSTEM CASE AND WHEN A SPECIALIST WAS IN THE AREA, THEY WOULD HAVE HIM INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE MANAGER CONTACTED THE CONSUMER AND INFORMED HER, THE SPECIALIST WOULD NOT BE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE AS THEY HAD RECEIVED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND THEY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE ABS ACTUATOR, BUT THERE WAS NO FIX AT THE MOMENT. *JB

WE PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY IN AUGUST OF 2009. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR SINCE WE PURCHASED IT.

MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY ROLLS BACK WHILE IN DRIVE ON A LESS THAN 10% INCLINE.

AGAIN, SERVICE ADMITTED RADIAL PULL. THEY REBALANCE THE WHEELS, AND REALIGNED THE CAR AND THAT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. DEALER PUT 4 NEW TIRES AND REALIGNED. PROBLEM CONTINUED. CAR IS NOT SITTING ON THE FRAME PROPERLY BUT SERVICE WILL NOT ADMIT IT. TOOK CAR TO SERVICE AGAIN ON 2/13/10. AGAIN A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED AND DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. TOOK TO SERVICE AGAIN 3/8/10 COMPLAINED THAT CAR ISN'T DRIVING PROPERLY, I HAVE TO HOLD MY STEERING WHEEL A CERTAIN WAY TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT. WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE DUE TO THE DISTORTION, WOBBLING OF CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA TIRES ROLL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. INCREDIBLE! THE CAR ACCELERATES WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE LEFT TO GO STRAIGHT. ONE SIDE OF THE CAR IS HIGHER THAN THE OTHER. WHEN I ASKED WHAT WAS DONE TO THE CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND WAS DISMISSED. PEOPLE DRIVING BEHIND ME FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME AND I'VE BEEN STOPPED AND TOLD THAT MY CAR IS CROOKED . I CAN FEEL IT AND SEE THE SAME THING. SERVICE INFLATED MY TIRES TO OVER 42PSI'S. THAT'S TOO MUCH AIR. THIS CAR IS STILL DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT DEPENDING UPON WHICH WAY THE TIRES ARE MOVING FROM "LEFT TO RIGHT", IN WHICH I WAS TOLD THIS IS A TOYOTA THING. INSULTING! I FEEL THIS WAS DONE IN ORDER TO MASK WHATEVER THE REAL PROBLEM IS. I TRADED A 2004 CAMRY THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I HAD OVER 30 ALIGNMENTS, 4 BRAKE JOBS, A STEERING SHAFT REPLACED AND 4 SETS OF TIRES IN 4 YRS. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION ON THAT CAR. THIS CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING. FEEL UNSAFE. *TR

I LEASED 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY ON 7/27/09 FROM HUDSON TOYOTA, JERSEY CITY, NJ. IN DECEMBER 2009 MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED BY ITSELF AND BY APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WENT BACK TO NORMAL. IN JANUARY 2010, TOYOTA REPORTED A RECALL ANNOUNCING THAT MY VEHICLE IS FALLING UNDER THEIR RECALL CAMPAIGN. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE RECALL FIX. ON 2/16/10, WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR 5000 MILES SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THEN THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGN AND IT WILL TAKE LONGER TO PERFORM THE FIXES. NOW WITH ALL THE NEWS HAS BEEN COMING OUT REGARDING THE LACK OF TOYOTA'S SAFETY AND CREDIBILITY, AND WHOLE OTHER FACTS: TOYOTA MANUFACTURER LEASED TO ME 2010 CAMRY WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE VEHICLE DEFECT (SUDDEN ACCELERATION) SINCE 2007.ON 3/18/10, I SEEK RESOLUTION FOR MY CASE BY TRYING TO EXIT MY FRAUD LEASE AGREEMENT. I HAD MY ARBITRATION HEARING THROUGH NATIONAL CENTER OF DISPUTE SETTLEMENT AT HUDSON TOYOTA, JERSEY CITY. I'M TRYING TO HAVE TOYOTA BUY BACK THE VEHICLE (2010 CAMRY) AND REFUND ME THE PAYMENTS I DID SINCE 7/27/09. THE GENTLEMAN-REPRESENTED TOYOTA CLAIMED HE IS THE REGION DISTRICT MANAGER, HAVE NO BUSINESS CARD AND REFUSED TO ANSWER SAFETY QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT. HE WAS SPENDING MOST OF THE HEARING TIME ON HIS BLACKBERRY, THE ARBITRATOR FROM NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT NEVER COMMENTED ON TOYOTA'S REPRESENTATIVE BEHAVIORS. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A DECISION, WHICH MOST LIKELY TO BE IN TOYOTA'S FAVOR AS THE NCDS LACKED THE TRANSPARENCY IN CONDUCTING THAT HEARING. ARE THERE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS I SHOULD TAKE TO EXIT MY LEASE AND GET A COMPLETE REFUND, AS I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLE. *DT
